Yeah. Its definitely not it. This Dame acquisition is going to put a huge dent in my bank account. Because everyone in my family is downright giddy about the thought if him playing for our favorite team, alongside our favorite player. But I'm simply not going to go to a pep rally to scream "I love you Dame!!!" at the top of my lungs if I don't have to. I'd rather spend my Saturday doing other things. Like the Taylor Swift phenomenon. I get why kids enjoy pop music. What I don't understand is why 40 year olds wearing heart glasses are spending thousands to see her live without their children. But hey, to each their own.

Kyle Lowry is currently the only true point guard on the Heat roster.

Payne is also drawing interest from the Bucks. Via Michael Scotto/HoopsHype


Why not 2/2? :eyebrows: :eyebrows: :eyebrows: :eyebrows: :eyebrows:

I wouldn't be surprised one iota if Cam ended up in Miami. He was in the G-League when the pandemic started and I could easily see him viewing Miami as an opportunity for bigger minutes and probably his best chance at getting a multi-year 8 figure contract.

Bill Simmons on his pod was saying OKC would be a great destination for Jrue. Or the Kings.

So at least he's working with us to get Jrue to a second tier contender Western Conference team. Neither of us want him in Miami or Philly. Nor GSW or LAC where you might see him in the Finals.

Lillard's txt message to Gilbert Arenas:

Gilbert: Are you happy?

Lillard: I am. I think it will finally come to light that I'm one of those guys at the very top. They discredit me for years without acknowledgment how I was never even close to even playfield with everybody else..

Dame is hungry oh boy!

Absolutely. I've gotten texts from both of my college-aged daughters who are being especially nice to me and oh-so-casually mentioning the Bucks and what tickets I may be able to get.

I've talked with them more the last 2 days than the previous month. So that's another plus of this.

If they want to go to the rally (they are), they're on their own there.

Screw the rally. They might as well fire up a huge parade! At least then everybody can drink and watch Dame and Giannis throw candy off a giant float!

Careful now. Gotta win the whole thing first. Don't wanna declare ourselves the offseason champions (even though we are) and puff our chests out over East Finals participation trophies. After all, we're not Celtics and Heat fans...

LOL. I know I was only joking. I personally think the rally is a little much but I think the whole point of it is to prove to Dame how much our fans and our city are behind him, and how excited we are for him to join our squad. Now with that being said let the dominance commence...

Always love a game winner when the clock actually expires when the ball is in the air. These fake ass "game winners" with 6 seconds left on the clock, smh.
