Its posts like these that make you seem like a troll. You don't know that he doesn't watch college ball... why tell him to gtfo?



Because you wouldn't say that Wiggin's is better than WADE now. Wiggins didn't have that great of a Basketball season it was good but not the second coming he was portrayed to be all throughout high school, he wasn't even the best on his team most of the year. But he rose in the NBA draft only because of his potential. He has a HIGH CEILING. And that is about it. (A LOT OF POTENTIAL)

Now if you were a HOMER, and you didn't know a thing or two about college basketball you would clearly say this in a heartbeat.

At this point I think the heat will not win if Lebron returns. They can if Wade is healthy and Bosh can upgrade his play to be more of a consistent scorer. Also need more production from role players. Some combination of this will have to happen.

Wiggins was arguably the best perimeter defender in college basketball this past year. That is what he does. He is projected to have a PG type defensive impact with very similar tools. This whole thing started from the kyrie no defense argument.

Since Pat Riley (1995-1996):

880 wins
610 losses

Heat have .590 win %
3 losing seasons

Cavs have .469 winning % since 95-96
10 losing seasons

Numbers never lie...

We have made the playoffs 15 out of 18 seasons since the man got here...he knows what the heck he is doing, Cleveland was a clownshow before Lebron and now after he left...

one thing that is of BIG concern to me. Riley says no rebounds no rings. Why is he consistently building small ball teams with little chance of rebounding well?

On the defensive end? Wade isn't the best defender now bro lol...

By no means is Wiggins is better than no Wade right now tho, just defensively

One year of college basketball is now the ultimate indicator of how a 208lb rookie is going to guard the most explosive professional athlete to play the point guard position in the history of basketball.

Good lord what's next...

He had some valid points until the Blatt part, when the post took a nose dive.


Why? Blatt is a rookie NBA coach. I actually think he will be good (eventually) but there will be some growing pains.



Blatt IMO will be a great coach, I think he should have came here as an Assistant coach first but sometimes you learn on the run better. (If that makes sense)

Give us OKC or Clippers and anything is possible.

How many lottery picks do you need to get your crap together and become at least respectable?? We went 15-67 in Pat's last season and the next year with a rookie coach no less, we made the playoffs with a WINNING record. Give me a break...

I think they need to keep kids in college for at least two years instead of one. Not sure if they are changing it or not. But they are coming in here so young.

And they are all Heat fans but they are simply worried about the Heat and think the Cleveland situation is better than Miami.

Wine and Gold has no leeway anymore in the Cavs organization. Guy has been known to lie if it fits his purposes.

This place took a nose dive in mood. You guys need to take a break of twitter, and stop believing everything you read from the sources. Lots of insiders trying to make a name for themselves.
