Also, does Herro not want to play? Says his hand is still "sore". I don't really like that in a player. I'd want my guy to be clawing to get out there ASAP. Now if I'm a Heat fan I don't know that I want him to play, though. They've been better without him but you aren't gonna shoot 43% every series.

Honestly if the Heat win Spolstra needs to be given more credit for being a top HC.

Mmm, no. You posted it, so you obviously are in agreeance with it.

But then you decided to interpret it in order to slant it more to your argument. which lands you firmly in Flat-Earther territory.:-)

Must have been tough winning when you always had the BEST team.

Guess thats why he quit in 98.

Knew he'd get smoked without the BEST team.

Myth: LeBron is the Best All-Around Player

Reality: He has been a traffic cone on defense the majority of his career. Only 5 defensive teams! Terrible!

How can you be considered “The Best All-Around” when you’re terrible at half the game? pic.twitter.com/mPD2ljrHdR

Just because I post something, it doesn't mean I agree with every aspect of it.

SOOO this is the 2023 NBA thread and we have both teams for the Finals and some how we have a circle jerk about LeBron being posted.

LeBron is one of the great players of this game! NOW lets get on with the finals of this 2023 season.

I'd like to see the Nuggets win one finally but I also like the idea of the underdog Heat just going all the way. I will be rooting for the Heat and expect the Nuggets to win out. IF Miami wins they have to be one of the best teams in a long time. They have beaten top seed talent while barely getting in to the playoff scenario. Really a great run overall.

It's quite something when you compare it to the plumbers and janitors era.

You know that first tweet doesn't mean much. It's like holding playoff wins against Mahomes because his team is always the #1 seed and not playing three games before playing in the SB.
