skip is funny, but predictable. i called this whole argument out on twitter last night

point 1: this game henged on dwade's and 1 to put the heat up 4 when the thunder were threatening

point 2: he changed the course of the playoffs and history with his epic game at indy



i mean anyone who takes him serious, lol, all he got is that indy game. bron carrying them. this shyt is comedy. only thing im disappointed in is screamin a. not bringin up all these late game fukkups dwade done had. this dude done had some big ass turnovers 2 games in a row.

Stephen A needs to learn his stats


stephen a is too busy trying to mingle with the celebs instead of working on his craft. All skip does is exercise and finds new ways to troll.

I don't think they are even trying to be a real "sports" show anymore. They know that people tune in for the yelling and the other c00nery and to see what outlandish shyt Skip is gonna say. nikkas that come in there kicking real science are either banned (Jalen) or only get a segment or two (Broussard, Legler).

I think tebow really messed up the show. Before that whole tebow thing they could bring anybody up there to debate and it was still good. Once troll started getting so amped up about tebow that he would shut down everybody; the only cat that could get to his level of excitement was stephen A. Since than they've been relying on that formula the rest of the year.

Wow! That sounds about right. They had record ratings with that Tebow shyt. The more outrageous Skip got the bigger the show got. So now they have just said fukk all logic and fact and lets just have these two fools scream at each other for two hours everyday. :smh:

The Heat are still Wade's team psychologically, even when Lebron is carrying them physically. The pecking order is obvious. Wade is the big brother to all the other players. Lebron leans on him psychologically even when CWade can't execute physically. You can tell by their social interactions. Dwyane sets the tone during interviews and when they're joking around. SOCIALLY, when has Wade followed Lebron's lead or taken cues from James?

I feel very strongly about this, so I'll go on. u_u

It is intuitively obvious to the MOST casual observer. Wade has made it clear that he voluntarily defers to Lebron on court at times in order to foster Lebron's leadership skills. DWade is a gracious leader, but the other guys still look to him for direction. They execute as Wade dictates.

ex: It's like when I go home for xmas to see my grown younger brothers who are bigger & stronger than me. I still boss them around. *shrug* The hierarchy didn't change.

exercise, determine innovative ways to troll, and WORSHIP SATAN judging from the looks of Skip's Okie, demented, leathery, jokerish, devil's-advocate mug

I hate it when Skip bags on Lebron! It ticks me off. >:[

Only way that would work is if Bron was the only new addition when they got together and Wade had a certian position amongst guys that were already there. They put a brand new team around the big 3, save Chalmers and Haslem, and most of them nikkas came because Bron was there. Also Bron spent 7 years leading his own squad so it's not like he had never lead before. Only reason people question Lebron's leadership is because he doesn't have any rings. Bron is always the far more vocal of the two on the floor and as last Finals demonstrated the Heat go as Bron goes. Socially and what happens on the court aren't always the same. It's very apparent that Wade is more comfortable in his skin away from the court than Bron is and that may have more to do with the level of scrutiny Bron faces vs. the level Wade faces.
