I highly doubt the Heat can get two in Miami, the way this is looking. The silver lining is, role players don't really travel, and that seems to hold true for the Mavs. The other silver lining is, Nowitzki finally gets a ring.

The Heat f***ing fail at life. Enjoy the title, Dallas.

After LeBron's performance last night, I'm shocked the usual crew isn't in here having a circlejerk.

Celtics will never get him via trade. No assets. The sooner we clear the decks and the rebuild the team, the better. And by rebuild I mean stockpile immediate assets to trade for a star. If we're talking trade, the Lakers probably have a good shot (they don't have a chance if it goes to free agency though). I don't know who the Magic could expect to get that's better than Andrew Bynum. He beats the hell out of Joakim Noah. Jim Buss is an egotistical dipshit though, no way he trades his guy.

My ass, if anything they're more biased towards Boston.

^I'd find that funny if we hadn't gotten someone completely useless in return.

Emo loser? I'm sorry, which one of us has an obsessive hard-on for some guy who doesn't even know we exist, just because we're butthurt he didn't come to our city? Hint: it's not me. And you think folding in game 2 was Miami's best? The Heat have the better defense. Oh yeah, they also have two superstars, both of which are better than Dirk. They're simply the better team. The only ones who can beat them are themselves. I've been saying it since February.

Lol no.

Lol f***ing owned. And completely agreed.

LMAO at Detroit having to forfeit #8 just to get Hamilton off their back. I don't care if it's a weak draft, what an awful trade that would be.

Is it just me, or does Boston being in the finals = ESPN suddenly cares about hockey?

No, it's because you're in denial. I want to see Dirk get a ring as much as anyone, but it's not happening this year. Doubtful it's ever happening unless he latches on with the Heat at some point, or the Bulls.

Mavs don't have a prayer against the Heat. They can put LeBron on Dirk. It's exactly the kind of matchup Dirk hates the most, somebody who defends underneath him and gives him no room to breathe. He's a small forward in a big man's body. That's how Golden State owned Dallas in 2007. Miami doesn't sacrifice a thing by putting Bosh (quick for his size/position) on Marion (not an offensive threat). Other than that, it's the simple fact that Miami has two superstars, both of which are better than Nowitzki. The Heat would have to try to lose this.

When in the f*** did I ever say 'it's not that much pressure'? Funny how you're so confident that I'm just a misinformed troll, yet you can't even read. As are you. I'll chalk this one up to PMS. Loved the racial qualification by the way. No. Easy. A strawman is an argument constructed in response to words that the other person never uttered. You have a track record with popping them out and then getting your period when someone calls you on it. That's nice. What are you asking Santa for this Christmas? What kind of candy did the easter bunny drop on your front porch this year (whatever kind it was, there was clearly a lot of it)? Dumbass, my entire point is that there is absolutely zero proof or substance to hint that clutch is any other than a fairy tale. Show ME something to prove otherwise, and I'll eat some humble pie, or whatever f***tarded analogy that was you crapped out. And yes, you did backpedal. You shifted gears from 'players are clutch' to 'certain situations can be described at clutch', knowing that you'd catch less heat for it. Awful convenient, huh? Is that so. Then you should probably consult with a doctor. *laugh track*

Studies aren't proof bro.

Nope, hell of a strawman though. You went over all the reasons why clutch supposedly exists, and I squashed it with one single sentence saying that it can't be quantified, therefore it's s***. Then it's a big fat lie. Cool backpedal bro. Sweet. If I keep this up all day, I might have a shot reaching your daily quota.

Sure, if little league counts. Many times. Yep. Am I 'clutch' for doing so? And the difference isn't nearly as big as you or anyone tries to make it seem.

What is this ********. No, just no. Any stat people pull to try and prove someone's clutch is always way too small a sample size to prove anything. Great players perform well at the end of games because they're great players and the game they're playing doesn't change in the last few minutes. It's not some mythical 'clutch gene' or anything. It's natural to be nervous at big spots in the game but it doesn't affect performance quite as much as people think. Oh my god this is great. I'm trying to sound punk rock by saying clutch doesn't exist. That Kobe kid isn't even where I got this s***. Seriously. 'Clutch' can't be proven or quantified, therefore it doesn't exist. False until proven true.

LeBron is not clutch. No one is clutch. Clutch doesn't exist. What people assume to be 'clutch' is just great players performing the exact same in the last minutes of a game as they did the entire game prior. That's it.

How many times do you people need to be told that clutch is a crock of s***.

Williams is a Beasley type player in terms of position. Between him and Love (who is definitely not a center) I think Minnesota's all good there.

Wow, aces for Cleveland. I'd go Derrick Williams at #1 (although they've apparently decided on Irving but who knows how credible that is) and move #4 for someone proven, if at all possible.
