Is it too much to hope that Cleveland can not suck for a day?
It's built into the City's foundation, so it's not possible. Even when they're good, they suck at being good.
Some fun news tidbits:Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat 1m
Per Heat: Dwyane Wade's injury is a left Achilles strain, his status for tomorrow night's game in Indiana will be reevaluated tomorrow.
Wade is breaking down and he hasn't even played the full season.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/warriors-coach-mark-jackson-forces-reassignment-of-assistant-brian-scalabrine-184142899.htmlOwnership and management have been strong advocates of Scalabrine and his performance on the job, sources told Yahoo Sports. Nevertheless, Warriors officials decided that as long as Jackson is the head coach, he'll have control of his coaching staff.
Mark Jackson can't handle the White Mamba.
How do you think Jackson is running these dudes off? Shoving a sermon down their throats? Or just being a prick because he feels his job is being threatened by any assistant coach with potential? And how fucked up is it that he tried to weasel his way into the Clippers/Nets jobs? I've heard the dude preach loyalty to his players and to anyone that will listen to him talk about his relationship with god.
What a shitty coach.

I've heard the dude preach loyalty to his players and to anyone that will listen to him talk about his relationship with god.Probably this. Sounds like he's insecure and gets testy whenever his assistants know better than he does, which is going to be most of the time.
What a shitty coach.
What’s especially disheartening about Oden and his injury history is that he might have only been a few years away from entirely different knee-repair protocols, ones that could have kept him from requiring the three rounds of microfracture surgery—one in his right knee (in 2007) and two in his left knee (2010 and 2012)—that have interrupted his career.
That’s because doctors are largely moving away from microfracture surgery as a means to fixing defects in a player’s cartilage. In the late ’90s and early ’00s, microfracture was a reasonably well-known and often used procedure. But it’s possible that Oden will be the last NBA player we’ll see trying to come back from that surgery.
“I don’t think anyone in 2014 would advise Greg Oden to get microfracture if he had the same issues he showed back then,” one NBA team doctor, who asked to remain anonymous because he was discussing another team’s player, said. “The thinking has changed. It is still a good surgery in some cases, but not for high-level athletes.”
What remains problematic about the diminishing of microfracture surgery is that it is not yet clear what will replace it. When cartilage is damaged, something has to be used to fix it, and if not fibrocartilage from microfracture, then what?
There is a procedure known as Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation, or ACI, in which a “patch” of cartilage cells is grown in a lab and implanted into the knee, giving patients a new layer of articular cartilage. But that process has a long recovery time, as much as 18 months.

So glad the Jackson iso era is coming to an end
But that means the Jackson "Hand Down Man Down" era is coming back to TV.

Fuck that nonsense. He's gonna be picked up by some scrub ass team that will buy into his defensive approach to the game. Which isn't bad, but he sucks. And the fact that he tried to get a job at other franchises while coaching a young and upcoming team with a passionate fanbase just screams that he's not coaching the Warriors for the right reasons.
lol, what douche would sue shaq for that? You hang out with big basketball men for a job, of course there will be horseplay.Shaq certainly can be a giant d-bag.
EJ is the coolest cat, he wouldn't do that shit.

Oh, not saying it was. But he's surely capable of it.

Before the team took off for Indianapolis on Tuesday afternoon, Bosh was a guest on the local South Florida hour of The Dan LeBatard Show, which airs nationally from 4 to 7 p.m. on ESPN Radio.wealreadywon2015
Rather than conduct a conventional interview, LeBatard—the long-time Miami Herald columnist—and co-host Jon "Stugotz" Weiner played two games with the Miami Heat forward/center, first asking him to "fill in the blank" and then asking him to answer "true or false."
The final "true or false" question is the one that will get the most attention.
LeBatard asked whether Bosh—who can opt out of his contract after this season—will be in Miami next year.
"True," Bosh answered.
"And so will LeBron …" LeBatard continued.
"True," Bosh replied.

LeBron and Bosh are a given, it's D Wade that's in question.

congrats.
Things could get interesting if the Heat don't win the championship this year. I can see changes. Obviously, if they three peat, everyone will be back.

lakers @ knicks in 30mins.
you have my axe, knickfans.
Of course he will be in Miami next year.New Yorkers love Florida. Phil is going to steal Lebron from Riley. Big Chief Triangle.
He has to travel there to play at least once.
I know Cleveland gonna Cleveland before the end but I'm enjoying this right now.
I've seen so many Toronto comebacks and furious 4th quarters this year that I seriously wonder if they're rope-a-doping their opponents.

The Cavs have all-you-can-eat seats for $34? Oh God, I would murder myself.
That takes energy. Are you seeing a lot of energy here?

With that goatee and t-shirt under his jersey, Varejao looks like some stoner fan they pulled out of the stands.

The Factory of Sadness is incapable of such a thing.
Cavs :lol:They never change.
But Lowry went to the locker room looking like he has diarrhea.
He's quietly playing through a groin strain. Fortunately Vasquez has been totally solid the last few weeks.
Deng, still fighting for Chicago.
To the Magic? Really?
Come back LaMarcus… This is miserable.lol wut I did a double take when I saw that score.
To the Magic? Really?
