These morons on ESPN bitching at the lineup that they praised after game 4. Fuck you Simmons and Wilbon. "Wheres birdman?"
Spurs in 7 LeBron and co. doesn't have mental toughness to beat Spurs two games in a row. And seriously, if Spurs win the championship LeBron will have lost 3 Finals out of 4. He is sometimes being compared to MJ. Are you kidding me? LeBron isn't even in the same class Kobe is. Big time choker.
I'm calling Spurs in 6. With Ginobili playing the way he is, the Spurs are a totally different animal. The Heat have to worry about Green raining 3's, Ginobili driving to the basket, Parker driving to the basket, and Duncan in the paint. The Heat have a great defense, but the Spurs offense is just so potent when firing on all cylinders. I think Pop found his niche. Start Ginobili with Parker. Green is unconscious. If that guy keeps shooting like that, which I think he will, this is over in 6. This is a perfect storybook ending for the Spurs. Series has gone back and forth. Spurs win it in Miami in Game 6 for the first 2 game win in a row. Duncan and Parker win one more ring together and Pop confirms himself as one of the best coaches to ever walk this earth.
Has Jackson ever put a run together like how the Spurs are currently doing it. TBH I cant answer it, I dont think the Spurs win the title if Phil is our coach but thats all I say. Pop is overachieving now with Duncan.
Ehh that's tough. Phil got 2 of the top 10 players in history most likely, Pop got 1. Phil has lead his teams to 3 straight finals 4 different times and they won all 3 finals 3 times. Spurs have never gone back to back, but this would be a 14 year difference in titles. Phil after the 2010 season had 11 out of the last 20 championships. I wouldn't be upset if I landed one of the coaches either way. Oh and both had big shot Bob.
If Manu has another great game and the other two Spurs play as they have been...Oh and Neal/Green play like stars on a team this series is done in 6 even if Lebron/Wade have big nights. Duncan will lock Bosh down I think
at the end of the day actually accomplishments trump speculation. Phil is the greatest coach of all time because of that. but as far as coaching ability, Pops is just as good.
Where will Lebron go from here. Ive been saying Cleveland forever but I think Lebron needs to team up with a coach instead of a player. Would Phil go to Cleveland? No offense to Mike Brown but he he failed with the Cavs last time despite winning the most games in 2009 and 2010.
Lakers are also setup to get Lebron, along with San Antonio and Cleveland. Many options for free agency of 2014. Kobes contract ends next season, would the Lakers cut bait with him? So intriguing Riley will likely make a major move this summer to, hes gotta do something.
^ Chris Paul and Dwight Howard can start those dominoes. Melo also has a 2014 opt out although he seemed set on playing for NY only, maybe he decides to try and chase a ring in a better place.
I see him either going back to Cleveland or heading over to San Antonio. Cleveland because that's where his story began. He left on a bad note and he has said it multiple times that he wishes he could fix that. He thought the move to Miami was best for him, but he wishes he went about it in another way. Now with the talent Cleveland has, this is his opportunity to not only surround himself with young talent, but to fix that bond he broke. That city will take a little to warm up to bringing him back, but he would end his career right where he began. He would go out on top with no regrets. San Antonio because of the talent and coaching they have. Pop is one of the best to ever walk this earth and Parker will be there still. James coupled with Parker and Green shooting from the outside could be deadly. I could really see him going over there, especially with an aging Duncan and Ginobili. It will be interesting where he ends up, but in all honesty, I think he's done in Miami. Wade is aging in dog years and Bosh is not worth what they are paying him. Allen is ending his career and Miller can't even walk. James is in his prime right now. He needs a change. He went to Miami to win a ring, and he won one. It's time for him to move on.
San Antonio is really intriguing, the Spurs will have the money, but it would come down to James. Boston I think has the money to, Lakers is possible but Kobe would HAVE TO go. I still think Cleveland... Miamis a lost cause at this point, unless Riley can bring in someone. The Heat can amnesty Bosh but theres no guarentee Howard would go to Miami. If the Heat amnesty Bosh, they would have to fill the void. Maybe Josh Smith ? Maybe CP3. Looks like the Heat have to stick with Bosh.
The dominoes will have to fall, Riley will talk to Howard and Paul. If he can get one to agree then Bosh is out.
I would be so fuckin furious if he did this. I hate Miami so bad. The Heat can't afford this anymore. They have a GIGANTIC amount of money tied up in these 3 guys and Bosh is not worth what they are paying him. Wade is aging and Ray Allen is a rental. I can't see James staying there. He needs to go back to where he started in Cleveland. I hope to all hell he does so I can bring out my Cleveland James jersey again! I love Lebron, but I hate not being able to root for him. I can't stand Miami.
Why would Lebron go back to Cleveland? That makes ZERO sense. That team isn't close to the Heat in talent and all he cares about is winning a title. If he goes anywhere it's LA, but I'm pretty sure he stays. Riley will do whatever it takes to keep him. I'd welcome him in NY, but it might be tough since him and Melo play the same position. You guys forget also that Miami is still very much in this. This series has been back and forth like crazy. It's a given they'll win game 6 by double digits. Game 7 will probably be Spurs, but who knows.
