The official Spurs vs Heat, 2014 NBA Finals thread!

[Strenuus]

Three former Blazers out there at the end: Mills (The best of the three), Ayers, and Oden. lol.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Need more Oden*

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Go Spurs!

Can Lebron opt out? And if Miami loses in the finals, does he opt out?

Their big three can potentially opt out.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It'd be a crime if they resigned Oden.

He's paid $850k to be a freaking paperweight/towel waiver.

Thxs . . . thought so.

Big three is slowly turning into big one.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

LeBron and the Lebronaires.

It's their money to throw away!

May potentially happen
They all opt out, LeBron re-signs and convinces Melo to join him in Miami. :MARIS61:

If Heat win series, no way any opt out . . got to go for 4 in a row.

Wade gets 2 more years at 20 million each. He is not opting out. Win or lose

I think he will. To many teams have max or near max money this off season and with his health so wishy washy 4 years 90m sounds a lot better then years 40.

Are there that many dumb teams? With his health issues who would do that?
I will be shocked.

On another note ...... Do you Mario Charmers lovers still want him? I guess his value has lowered enough where we could actually get him. Still don't like him as a pg.

There will be a few teams left with huge money and Dwade being the only big name player left, a team will give him a massive offer. I like Chalmers but I like him like I like Avery Bradley, that is to say when they aren't controlling the ball. Chalmers would be nice off the bench when Dame sits and Batum is in control of the ball but I wouldn't give him more then 3y 12-15m.

Tonight was the first game I have watched since the Blazers last game. Must be healing. Go Spurs.

But that team would have to be good for wade to consider leaving Miami. The only franchise he has ever played for.
I say the odds are small that he opts out.

If he cares about loyalty and winning then yea no way he opts out. If he cares more about money then he will.

So LeBron makes his team worse at that point, and also alienates the two Hall of Famers he's playing with in Miami.

Good plan.

Still not convinced. If he stays with Miami he will get paid 41,600,000.00 in two years with no state tax. (Plus what ever he makes after those two years)

If he leaves and takes a 4 year deal for $60 million (Minus state income taxes) does he really make more money? Too close IMO to leave unless the team he leaves for has a better chance of winning. Which I just don't see happening. I guess Chicago would be an option if the other two left as well. Being that Chicago is his home town. But IMO they all stay.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I thought for sure the Heat would win this series. Now, I think the Spurs will take the title. The Heat just dont have anyone besides Lebron that can consistently produce. Wade's knees are done, he is almost just an average player now. Bosch is over rated. The Spurs have so many weapons and play incredible team basketball.

I didn't think that post would need green font.

For the last two years they've basically been the Miami "Cavaliers". LeBron is making a hell of a case to be regarded as the greatest player of all time. Pippen always playing at a level above what Bosh and Wade are these days. Jordan didn't have to carry a team like this.

I hope the Spurs win because its damn impressive display of team basketball. I want to see more NBA teams follow that model with unselfish play, ball movement, and less star ISO.

I agree 1000%. I hope Silver can find a way to usher in a new wave of basketball. Because the one now is full of shit and is a horrible fucking excuse of "basketball".

 

[BigGameDamian]

Rangers up 1-0 with a deflection.

I hope it goes back to a big mans game where the bigs play with power.

That's not likely to happen any time soon.

Never will happen again. Just like a really good defender in baseball, it don't matter. Offense or go home.

Baseball is attempting to clean up their sport. It's becoming more of a hit-and-run league again.

Those aren't boos... they were saying "Who?" When Toney Douglas came out.
