Well the Pacers play in Indiana, David West is going to get max contract offers from teams (yes, he is if his agent plays his cards right), Paul George is going to get a max contract. Granger makes 14 million.

Just by resigning West to a max contract, let's say he gets 15 million that puts them at 71 million. Then you have to give Paul George his max contract which is what, another 15 million. 86 million. They won't resign DJ in the offseason.

This is a low market team, they can't afford that type of salary. Maybe for one lone season like the Mavericks but then they would have a fire sale. This is a team that is threatening their own city to sell/relocate. And they're one of the worst teams in the league in terms of attendance.

Sorry I don't see how they manage to keep their core in tact. Granger is definitely getting dealt. I actually see West leaving to a higher bidder.

You misunderstood me. I don't think they'll stay together.

But there is no way that West gets a max contract.

Don't listen to those goons. That's just the lesson of life. When you reach for a certain goal, people actually wish you to fail. When you rationalize and have the abilities to do things, no one can't stop you. In this game though, the refs can lol. You get the general ideal of this. One day, those same fans are going to face that same adversity. It's a hypocritical world out there.

Ya Hubie does announcing for ESPN radio the rest of the way. I dont mind Breen and JVG, unless the Spurs catch fire and I keep having to hear BANG BANG BANG BANG then I'll cry.

Don't waste your breath on em brother, the only explanations they will give you is regarding "join dates" or either circle jerking, let them rot just like rose is on the bench.

I will still link Heat radio with the tv on Mute.

Everytime I do that the Heat win by double digits.

No one can take down the 2012-2013 Eastern Conference Champion banner that's it going to hung in the Heat's rafters! Enjoy it and revel in it since the fans only have 2 days to ready themselves for the finals. The Miami Heat are the Eastern Conference Champions this season. WOOT!

Roy Hibbert crawled over to his dead Paul George. David West had Javaris Varnardo with a knife by his neck. Pat Riley then says I'll get another 15th man on the squad. LeBron then went up to Hibbert and said "Alonzo Mourning sends his regards" and stabs him the chest. David West takes out Varnardo. Chris Bosh photobombs David West before slitting his throat.

LOL

On one hand..I still think about that Dallas series. On the other hand...whose to say we win last year without going through the adversity and failure of the year before.

I guess you truly gotta fail before you succeed. Hopefully LeBron dominates and gets another ring this year.

I don't buy this line of thinking at all. Look at Magic Johnson or Bill Russell.

There are more teams that lose every year than win so of course it is likely you will lose before you win. The whole you have to face adversity and fail to succeed is just a rationalization of that failure.

Wait a minute, you do realize that Magic Johnson is literally the posterboy for that quote right? Have you ever heard of Tragic Johnson and the 1984 Finals? Not to bash you, but please brush up on your NBA history. Really gives you a lot more appreciation for Magic and now Lebron when you look at their careers after falling short on the biggest stage.

Your post furthers my point about it being a narrative that is created.

Not to bash you, but please brush up on your NBA history.

Please take a look at who won Finals MVP in Magic Johnson's ROOKIE year.

Spoiler:

Yep Magic must have had to truly fail before he won that Finals MVP all the way in his rookie season.

Normally I know we get on him for not being a big enough voice to motivate these guys, but that is just an awesome line right there. Riley-esque. I got chills when I heard it. That's exactly what great players need to hear, that the other team can't compete with you at your best.

missed it:(

Is there a video of this someplace?

Game 7 between the Heat and Pacers drew the largest audience ever for a TNT game, 11.5 million viewers.

"Tragic" Johnson

Yes, Magic had a great Finals series in his rookie season but I had thought it was common knowledge nowadays that Kareem was originally voted the Finals MVP by the broadcasters in that series but because he was watching at home and the league didn't want to present to an empty chair the broadcasters were asked to change their vote in favor of Magic.

http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showth ... p?t=301909

Magic stepped up admirably when Kareem wasn't there for Game 6 but it was Kareem who really dominated that series and came up with all the big scores for them down the stretch.

And I suggest you read Magic's autobiography "My Life" where he talks about his shortcomings in the 84 Finals that caused him to re-evaluate himself and become an even larger contributor to their '85 Championship. And after that Magic took the reins from Kareem on the Lakers and assumed an even larger scoring burden as he ran away with 3 MVPs and 2 Championships in the next 4 years.

I do get the point you're trying to make here, but I'd suggest you familiarize yourself with the real story of the 1980 Finals MVP before spouting off trying to make it the basis of your entire argument. Magic failed as the man in the 1984 Finals and really grew as a player in the following seasons and led some of the NBA's most historic offenses.
