That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
DMC & IT were like BFFs last year :confused:

Nevermind then. Sacramento just did a stupid thing, I just don't understand their roster and Gay is horrible. Although, Stauskas could be pretty good.

Interesting to see the Bucks and Cavs tonight. Love would be a pretty good team leader in the easier Eastern conference. I think even if the Cavs just had Love and not Lebron & Kyrie, they'd still have a very good shot at the playoffs.

And it doesn't feel bad to jump on the bandwagon because Cleveland is both sports and nonsports-wise, an underdog city with a historically high percentage of passionate fans compared to how a lot of Heat 'fans' don't even care about them now that the team aren't contenders anymore. The Miami area has great weather and is an international destination with lots of stuff to do but (probably because of all that) has a poo poo-ton of fairweather fans. I think there would've been far less hate in his non-Cavs days if Lebron had left Cleveland and formed a big three team in another small-market city rather than a big-name, big-market place like Miami.

That whole Miami big 3 thing just seemed disingenuous and unfair, and the fairweather bandwagoners and hype made it even worse lol. Haha I almost wrote an essay. In summary, go Cavs and Cleveland! Win a ring please. I know just 'deserving' a championship won't bring you one, but Cleveland deserves one championship in some sport.

I tell ya, it's going to be nice having an honestly good player playing center for 90% of every game. Instead of Stiemsma/Ajinca/Withey. *shudder*

everyone was baffled when i listed him as one of my favorite players, but putting him in papers over a lot of the poo poo that's really frustrating when you're watching a team fighting for a playoff spot, like giving up tons of ORBs

I have much respect for people who are actual Heat fans through thick and thin and consider them fellow serious NBA fans, just not bandwagoners.

Your post was fine, don't ever feel like you need to apologize to PFZ.

Also, Miami wasn't really considered a "big-market" team mostly because they have trouble selling tickets. It wasn't really a big FA destination until Lebron got there, and I think it'll settle back down as a larger mid-tier team again.

I skipped going to this game for a celebration dinner with some friends. I can't wait till I can see the new court in person.

They also did a lot of work on the rest of the arena that I want to see. Especially the expanded gift shop.

I'm just sensitive about the Miami bandwagon thing. We had some of the best attendance in the league the year we won 15 games.

And don't listen to Lockback. He's jealous of my amazing hair.
