I had no idea they were that good until Kyrie and Love got hurt. I have no doubt they beat GS in '15, especially because LeBron was in his absolute prime, and had his best Finals ever IMO. Dude took GSW to six with Delly and T. Thompson as the focal points.


Not only were they 33-3, they were blowing teams out left and right. Their SRS was over 12 firing that stretch, i.e., a GOAT like stretch.

Neon Dion has never met a shot he couldn't say no to.

This dude had a great situation in Cleveland with LBJ feeding him and all he had to do was adhere to the role. Instead he throws a hissy fit that causes them to ship him to OKC. He has another great opportunity to play 3rd fiddle behind Durant and Westbrook and instead screws that up too by displaying poor shot selection and being an extreme liability at the FT line. OKC lets him go and Miami takes a flyer on him for 1 year and he ends up playing out of his mind to the point the Heat gave him a 4/50 deal hoping he'd get better. His shooting splits are 41/34/69 and he simply is the ultimate bricklayer.

This dude blew it royally and the gummy bear incident was the last straw that forced Miami's hand. Somehow Pat Riley was able to dump 2 white elephants in James Johnson and Dion off the cap and all it cost them was Justice Winslow. Dunno how Pat did it, but he ended up getting Iggy, Crowder and Hill plus Memphis immediately bought him out b/c of how much of a bad influence he is.

He didn't suck for the Lakers... He had so little time to get into the flow, and he did alright with the minutes he got.

He looked like he had some gummies in that video... So the victim thing is a just a goofy take... Don't be that dude, Cheez.
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...
