Iggy and Livingston was there last year lmao who did they lose
There were people on here saying the Warriors made a bad decision because they let guys like Barbosa, Ezeli and Rush go.
The funny thing about this narrative is that it's spun into 100% bullshyt. Folks are speaking as if OKC and GS were rivals and GS was repeatedly outing OKC from the playoffs. They met ONCE in the playoffs, ONCE. Because the NBA lacks rivalries the fans tried to spin OKC and GS into rivals after ONE playoff meeting. OKC and Memphis was more of a rivalry than OKC and GS.
Spurs and OKC faced each other in the playoffs three times, OKC winning twice. Two of the times they met were in the WCF. OKC beat them last year even though the Spurs were on pace to win 70+ at one point and people, especially on the coli, said they'd beat GS. Yet I've seen people say they would've been okay if Durant joined them, even though OKC/SA would be considered a rivalry, even though KD's biggest comp as best sf in the west plays there.
Wade wasn't top 5 when Lebron came to Miami neither was Bosh
Bosh didn't even play at an elite level at all the entire hea
No Wade wasn't a top 5
Lebron
Westbrook
Durant
Chris Paul
Kobe Byrant
Wade led the league in absolutely nothing in 2011 what are you talking about
Bosh was what Kevin Love is now to the Cavs, maybe even worst, just a solid player, Horace Grant was more a force for Jordan's bulls its not even close
Wade averaged 27/7/5/2/2 on 48% the year before Bron got there, was 5th in MVP voting and led a team with Michael Beasley as the 2nd best player to 47 wins.
He averaged 33/7/6/2/2 on 56% in the playoffs against the almighty Celtics that "forced" Bron to go to Miami to team up with 2 other elite players.
Bosh was what Kevin Love is to the Cavs
We pretending that Bosh wasn't a huge reason the Heat were scary as fukk on defense
Bron/Wade/Bosh were 1/2/4 in PER rankings the year before they teamed up
They weren't a superteam when they were talking about 8 championships in a row?
? The Pacers took the Heat to 7 games 3 years straight. The heat were an incredibly flawed super team. It was literally a 3 man team with Ray Allen pitching in. nikkas had Charmers starting at the point
he put in work when needed
dudes really in here arguing that the Heat weren't a superteam
