Funny the Kyrie haters (who don't even hate his for basketball reasons) having a meltdown over him having a good game. First ones to jam up the GB with anti-Kyrie threads. LOL I love seeing it.

Comes back, has a MONSTER game against the best team in basketball,

Let that sink in.


The Bucks aren’t the best team in basketball. Far from it.

Dude, you need to get a grip. EIGHT MISSED FREE THROWS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. AT HOME.

I guess you think the reason the Sixers won before the ASB was the refs, too - huh?

If you are complaining, you are probably losing.

Thanks. Some of the Raps fans on this board are jerkish and it gets tiring.

Kyrie was incredible tonight. People really tried arguing on this board he doesn't help his team win games.

Idiots.

Curious how they use Ben, but if they use him right, this team is scary good. Because ya they're going to have 3 legit All NBA talents to go with a team with a good amount of depth as well.


LOL, that's what they said about last year's team too.

Injuries are a bitch.

Tell me you don't watch Heat games without telling me you don't watch Heat games.

Or maybe you think we deserve less?

FTAs
Heat: 20.9 (21st overall)
Opp: 22.4 (7th overall)
Diff: -1.5

And we've had plenty of games where our opponents shot twice as many FTs as us and we lost by only a few pts. Sht, we even WON games where opponents shot twice as many FTs as us.

It's bad enough the #1 seed in the East barely gets any recognition on this board, but it's even worse when the only recognition is casuals crying about fouls without doing a minute of research.

Wah wah wah not everyone watches my team. Quit crying, you gonna pretend like you watch every other teams games too? :noway:

Your team barely scraped by a bad team missing half their starters and only all-star. :lol: :lol:


If you had any brain cells, you would know I wasn't talking about people not watching Heat games, just how you were too stupid to do a 1 minute of research before embarrassing yourself.

Next time, try not to be such a casual, and enjoy being irrelevant for the foreseeable future. :thumbsup:

He's elite, Top 15 player in the league and already a sure Hall of Famer.

Kyrie is not a sure ballot hall of famer but very good player though.

I’m looking at the highlights, Ayo and Ja look way too similar
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

Yeah, he is. Not only good “counting” stats but hit a Game 7 Finals winning shot.

No hate from me, Trae was incredible and ran a clinic against anyone we put in front of him last night. Hawks are a fun team to watch for sure.

Thanks for the kind words. I wish more of the Raptor fans were like you. I don't hate the Raptors or anything but some of the insults and smack talk from Raps fans in the previous two games were a bit much. Glad to see at least one good fan there.

There are quite a few posts in this thread that were reported as personal attacks, baiting, insulting entire fanbase, etc. And it's not really stopping. None of this is allowed. Instead of refereeing y'all I'm just going to lock the thread and let's all move on to today's games. You're welcome for not issuing any strikes or warnings.
