Jiji Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Aw man... Miami's doctors have found more blood clotting in Bosh's system and have refused to clear him. It's not life threatening but he shouldn't be playing on the medication needed. That's the shits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I thought this was Chapter 24 in the Bosh-Heat battle, but this is a new issue, darn it. The Heat will now try to clear them some cap space. Article I read said they're gonna start Dion Waiters at shooting guard. Bless their hearts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Spoelstra watched someone drop dead on the court because of THIS VERY REASON. He's never playing another minute for Miami. Bosh is going to sue to get back on the court, but if the Heat's doctors are right, then the team and he really just need to work something out and buy him out of his deal.

Brian Fowler Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 So, that's gonna be one hell of a Hall of Fame class. Kobe, Timmy, KG and maybe Bosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Problem with Bosh is that he has to be declared medically ineligible for the Heat to free up the cap space taken up by his big ol' contract. They don't really care about paying him, they'll have to, it's all about freeing up enough space to go after a big name next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm gonna miss Mo. He was a high point of some truly dreadful mid-00s Milwaukee teams, especially once TJ Ford went down. He was pretty much the definition of a "solid hand" and was always well-liked in the locker room and by the fans. And fuck the championships ring, this the highpoint of Mo's career: Godspeed, Fog Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol So much for all that optimism. Was really hoping for the Sixers to turn the corner as I've developed an affinity for them as a STH for the past 5 years.

evilwaldo Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 That is the Sixers for you. Do they have anyone with range outside 15 feet yet? I am talking about a NBA caliber player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I know preseason doesn't matter, but I can't wait to see Golden State on the court tonight. I know the starters might play a quarter, but I don't care. The NBA is back, baby! Oh, I'm at work DVRing it, BTW. I know the first quarter has already passed.

jstout Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 What's wrong with the Warriors? (Besides not playing any of their stars in the second half) Will Durant overcome his slow start? I love how completely meaningless these games are. It's a little glimpse into how things might go. I'm now highly interested to see how Houston does if they keep chucking dumb 3-pointers every trip up, for example. (Hint: prolly not well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Eh. It got the Warriors within 2 games of the title last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Yeah, but they tended to make those crazy 3s. Looks like the Rockets are better than last year, but they've gotta get out of that "run down the court, shoot the 3" mindset. Except Harden. He's got the green light.

RandomAct Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I like Milwaukee's chances of getting back in the playoffs. Watching them against the Mavs tonight, and their defense is quite smothering, Jabari Parker looks like a full blown NBA player now too. Thon Maker is going to be a game changer for them in time.

I was at the game and I'm with you on the defense. Trying to score on a Delly/Brogdon/Giannis/Parker/Henson lineup is going to be damn near impossible for most teams. Even Beasley seemed to be trying on D tonight. I was impressed by both Brogdon and Maker. Brogdon looked like a real playmaker and his defense seems to have translated. Maker is green as grass but his shot looked nice and he was active on offense. The rebounding needs work, though, because Powell was killing him. Powell was really good overall and I didn't realize he had that much range on his jumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 They are long and athletic and bouncy, but the big questions are shooting and what the fuck do you do with MCW and Moose Monroe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sounds like they're trying to move Monroe out of town ASAP. The rumoured deals sound kind of shitty though. While he doesn't fit in with what they're going for, it may be best just to hang on to him and get what you can out of him than lose him for almost nothing.
