I've never believed in pro-athletes being under real "pressure".....

I should probably make a thread on this, but im getting in a debate on another forum where they think Chicago would have been a better fit for Bron.

I disagree completely because I think he would experience the same issues he is having with Wade in Miami with Rose.

Then it hit me, is Lebron uncoachable? Not in the sense that dude is intentionally shytting on coaches, but in the sense that he cant fit in a system?

The thing is I don't think LeBron would be as timid with Rose as he is with Wade, he seems to defer to Wade and look at him like a big brother.

Also, Rose is a much better jumpshooter than Wade whether it's spot up or off the dribble, he regressed a little bit this year as a shooter but he was still better than Wade.

That was the perfect situation, especially when you take into account they could have signed Bosh as well and traded Deng or had him coming off the bench. Basically you can make a case for any other team being a better situation since most of the other teams had young players on their roster and could afford 2 max contracts.

Rose is a better jump shooter but he needs that ball and isnt a catch and shoot type of guy.

That, and Im still unsure about Thib's half court offense.

Lebron's ideal road dawg is a catch and shoot type.

Riley scared Bron might opt out in 2013..

This is a mess..

This.....................

Then they don't respect Spo, and in the same breathe they don't want Riles to step in because he works them too hard, like Bosh said last year "they just want to chill"

I think a Rose/Bron duo would have been more cohesive than Bron/Wade though, just off the fact you have to respect Rose as a shooter. He needs the ball no more than Wade needs it, and a PnR between him and LeBron would have been devastating since he can actually knock down the pull-up. Right now, Wade is starting to look like a damn power forward, gotta score all his baskets within 10 feet, dude's jumper been on vacation since 07 and sometimes shows up for work, then goes back on vacay.



LeBron on the current Warriors though with Klay and Steph

Imagine Rose and Lebron choking it up at the end of games

Athletes have no pressure in life B.Lebron loses and its back home eating caviar. Cats in Afghanistan trying to dodge bullets and landmines. Now thats pressure....

Why do people act like the Heat need to be blown up? They've been deep in the playoffs both years and even if they don't change a thing they'd probably be no worse than the #2 choice to win it all next year. I guess I see why some people are judging them on a different scale than the average team but when you look at the big picture, it doesn't make a ton of sense to do that.

I don't think rose and bron would have worked rose would essentially been a spot up shooter lebrons needs a ray Allen/kevin durant type player

Riley let that team down with horrible signings.

Mike Miller- 5yrs/25mil
Shane Battier - 3yr deal. He's 34..
Joel Anthony - 6yrs/ 18mil..

He refuses to draft a player that can at least crack the rotation.

Except for Norris Cole, who hasn't done shyt since Christmas, there are no young players.

All he does is sign washed up vets..

The coach was not ready to coach a team like this.

This is on Riley..

stop

Kobe and Shaq won a ring with an equally sub-par cast, if not worse

Chalmers > fisher
Bosh > Rick fox and horry combined

quit making excuses

Shaq at the time was the greatest big man walking the earth. We have Joell Anthony, Ronny turiaf and Pittman.

Think about that for a minute.

We need a quality big man
