    Actually, Durant, Westbrook, Jackson and Ibaka versus Lebron, Irving, Waiters and K.Love will be amazing to watch.

    A little preview of what's to come. Cavs' "sold out" scrimmage.

    Bosh working the paint, no more spot up shooting for him.

    More like disinterested. Compare his attitude in last finals with his first championship in 2006.

    Wade ain't playin 60 games let alone 80. When he has to do more I'm sure he'll have great moments but overall his body will be more liable to break down

    So who's gonna start the new FightBeat fantasy league? I think we pissed Tam off last season. I doubt he runs it again.

    Fuck Tam AND his Bullshit Leagues...

    Dude Tricks Up the Criteria EVERYfuckingSEASON, on a Whim...1 Year, he Had "MINUTES" as a Category...Last Year, he Came Up w/Some LAME Shit Where Only a LIMITED # of Guys from your Roster were Eligible to Play for the Entire Week AND the Roster had to Be Set by a Certain Time on Monday...Basically DEFEATING the Purpose of DRAFTING a Team...

    Tam OVERTHOUGHT the Shit Waaaaaaaaay Tooooooooooo Much....Worse, he had the Audacity to Say he Switched to that Last Method for "Guys like REED", NOT Realizing REED was Almost ALWAYS a Playoff Caliber Participant in his Leagues...

    Knowing Tam, he'll Probably Use "HOCKEY ASSISTS" as a Basketball Category, This Upcoming Season, & REED Wants NO Parts of It...But If 1 of You Other Sorry Fucks Comes Up w/a League, REED'll Gladly Participate...

    Manny Pacquaio played in the line-up of his professional baskeball team in a practice game. He played for ten minutes, scored 1 point, one rebound and turned the ball over twice. Yesterday he drafted himself in the first round for his team and plans to play in the opener of the regular season too

    So he's gonna make sure they tank the season to get a better draft pick while racking up the revenue on sold out arenas. Manny is one smart owner.

    I believe it is just that Manny sees some potential in this kid that other managers perhaps can't see. Time will tell if he was right

    Ray Allen's agent Jim Tanner issues statement saying "Ray has not [yet] decided if he will play this season nor has he signed w/ @Cavs"

    I suppose that's one way to look at it. Another is it was an experiment and it didn't really work. Word is Wade consulted Ray Allen about some tips on extending his playing career and he plans on dropping a lot of weight to take the pressure off his knees. We'll see if he looks significantly thinner this season, but I doubt he will.

    Wade MISSED Nearly 30 Games Last Year...Dude Didn't Play a SINGLE Back to Back the Entire Regular Season..

    NO Chance in Hell of Him Coming Close to That...REED Fully Expects Wade to Miss a SIMILAR Amount of Games this Coming Season...If he Comes Anywhere Close to 82, it Will Be OBVIOUS he was Holding Back when Bron was There, MILKING the Shit Out of Injuries, like Many have Suspected....

    Speaking of Bron, Bosh is Running Off @ the Mouth, Talking about How he DOESN'T Associate w/Bron Anymore...Similar to How KG Deleted Ray Allen from his Phone & Existence, when Ray-Ray Left Boston...Bosh is Also Going the Chalmers Route, Talking about How "Difficult" It Was to Play w/a Superstar like Bron....

    It wasn't like Wade couldn't play more games or play back to backs. It was an experiment to see if having him play less games would help them in the playoffs. It didn't work at all. I don't think Wade will play all 82 but I easily think he will play more than last season simply because he won't be on the "managing program he was last year. He himself said he wasn't going to do that this year.

    I'm not going to judge Bosh or even what Garnett did. Some guys need that edge to stay competitive against guys and maybe he needs to remove that friendship aspect to help him go hard at LBJ. As for Chalmers I can't knock him for complaining about LBJ because as soon as LBJ got on the team and started yelling at Chalmers everyone seemed to relegate him to team whipping boy.

    Marcus Smart looking good out there. Willing passer, good shooting and solid defense. He's not particularly great at a single thing yet but he's starter material. I wonder if Ainge is ready to trade Rondo once his injury heals.

    To be fair to Bosh, the press is making him look worse than it is. He's been vocal about his dissatisfaction to become a spot up shooter when he used to be a franchise guy, and that's understandable. He was never close friends with Bron. The initial plan was to have Anthony instead of Bosh playing with Bron and Wade so Bosh was really the consolation prize.

    It's another ESPN non-story, story.

    Hey Chris, have you talked to Lebron this off-season.

    "Nah, man"

    Headline the next day.

    "Chris Bosh Cuts Off All Ties With Lebron. He Was A Difficult Team-mate To Play With! I Am Better Off Now That He Is Gone!" (Bosh implies)


    Cut to TMZeeeespn, and a bunch of talking heads debating with each other. "Is this a story...or a non-story?" StevenABaylissWilbonKornheiser GO!

    Motherfuckers, you're the assholes that made it a story to begin with, and now you're filling 15 minutes of airtime up, debating on whether or not, you're the asshole who made up a story to fill airtime.

    I can't understand Bosh being bitter. Seriously. Dude gets a MAX contract that many are saying he doesn't deserve, and he's basically THE MAN on the team now. The Heat are going to play around HIM. Is that not what he wanted? He supposedly didn't wanna be a "spot up shooter" because he's a "big man."

    I definitely recall him saying that... So what's his deal??? Dude is acting like a pissed off ex.

    Honestly, I think the Rockets will miss the playoffs or will get the 8th spot. Look at their miserable bench.

    Isaiah Canaan
    Jason Terry
    Francisco Garcia
    Jeff Adrian
    Joey Dorsey

    This is bad, like 2011 Cleveland Cavaliers bad.
