Forget school, it's summer! (Off topic 4.0)

<p>Much so</p>

<p>Yeah tp won’t be driving thanks to an injury cause of a dirty play by the heat</p>

<p>Is that what ur saying?</p>

<p>Hahaha if a little elbow is gonna sideline Tony he needs to retire. People say the NBA is too soft but then when players play like the 80s Pistons they get called dirty. I like when the refs just let the players play and don’t call a foul every 20 seconds. </p>

<p>Serious question. Have you ever played basketball? Your posts don’t sound like it.</p>

<p>Cause throwing an elbow into a guys ribcage is soft</p>

<p>Yes. For six years. </p>

<p>Refs were horrid this game. Technical on Timmy? ■■■?</p>

<p>Was asking Kyp. Anyone who’s played basketball would know the little elbow was a “basketball play.”</p>

<p>Refs were bad. Like the flop on Wade, shooting foul on James Jones, and the out of bounds review in the 4th. It was all s***.</p>

<p>I am </p>

<p>But I’m a diehard spurs fan and heat hater</p>

<p>See I don’t hate the Spurs, I like and respect them. I just love the Heat. :slight_smile: I don’t know any Heat fan that hates the Spurs. Why are Spurs fans bitter? I know Pop doesn’t hate the Heat.</p>

<p>So how about them memes? </p>

<p>Don’t change the subject.</p>

<p>Why do most people that aren’t Heat fans hate the Heat? It’s probably because Lebron is so dislikable.
And the elbow wasn’t a basketball play. He cocked it and hit TP with it. You don’t do that naturally when you drive.</p>

<p>Lol y’all are soft as hell. Both Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless said it was a basketball play and shouldn’t have been a flagrant. Do y’all keep your off ball arm perfectly straight when driving to the hoop? Lol. It’s natural to use your arm to protect the ball and move it when you’re running. Y’all sound like you wear elbow pads and helmets when you play basketball lol. </p>

<p>Lemme know how Lebron is so dislikable. Because he left Cleveland? Please, they had it coming. Cleveland refused year after year to build a team and hire a winning coach. They did not reach out to any top free agents or get a coach who had more plays than letting Lebron ISO all game. Lebron is a leader, he donates so much money and time to kids, he hasn’t forgot about Akron and donates money to his high school, he never has off the court issues, he married his HS gf and not some Real Housewife… People compare his greatness to MJ, but just off the court, Lebron is so much better than MJ was. MJ was a prick off the court.</p>

<p>TBB rant over</p>

<p>You listen to Skip? LOL. And no, I don’t keep my arm perfectly straight, but I don’t ■■■■ my elbow back and throw it either.</p>

<p>And I mean, if you look at his “flash” and stuff, coupled with that Decision mistake… And the fact that pretty much the entire Heat roster is bought.</p>

<p>Look at the Spurs, and the Thunder, Bulls, even the Pacers, they’re all made through drafts. And then teams like the Heat and the Nets come along and spend a ton of money on all these superstars…</p>

<p>That Doge meme is pretty funny, eh?</p>

<p>Skip is on point when it comes to basketball. I don’t like football but I know he says stupid stuff as a football analyst. CC should know he’s smart, went to Vandy. :p</p>

<p>Building a team not through the draft is nothing new. The Showtime Lakers didn’t draft Kareem, the 21st century Lakers didn’t draft Shaq (or even Kobe), the Bulls didn’t draft Scottie or Rodman, the Celtics didn’t draft Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, or Shaq… You don’t hate these teams. There’s no “right” way to build a team. What matters is getting 5 guys on the floor who can play together and win you games. Before Lebron and Bosh came, Miami was exactly like the teams you described that you liked…they had Zo, UD, Wade, James Jones, etc. all home grown players yet now you suddenly hate them. </p>

<p>Yes, look at the Nets or the Knicks. You can’t just spend money and expect to win. You have to bring in guys who will change their roles and have solid role players. Pat Riley made it work.</p>

<p>Do you also love teams like Utah and Milwaukee who are only built through the draft…? It doesn’t always work like the Spurs. </p>

<p>Why is only basketball being talked about in this thread? Baseball, that’s the more important sport.</p>

<h1>Nationals</h1>

<p>Favorite baseball player? I like Gio Gonzalez.</p>

<p>Big Papi.</p>

<p>My favorite Youtuber and Big Papi</p>

<p><a href=“David Ortiz - MLB 14 The Show: The Rematch - YouTube”>David Ortiz - MLB 14 The Show: The Rematch - YouTube;

<p>I like the Nationals, but I like the Reds more. Joey Votto is my favorite player…</p>

<p>The Mets are my favorite team (shocking I know), and David Wright is my favorite player. Mets have lost 6 in a row, and are 7 games below .500 so I’ve pretty much given up on the season.</p>

<p>Nationals are my 3rd or 4th favorite team; indifferent about the Reds. </p>
