Heat vs Bulls

[CWO]

I can only assume nobody else found any rules about player to player conversations either

[CWO]

I don't think it is. It's there to protect the owners and their money. Checks and balances are necessary, IMO. Especially with some of the thugs in the NBA.

see my edit. I didn't get it fast enough

I don't think there is actually a rule in place for player to player conversation and which team to sign with, just team reps talking to players, which makes sense.

[Geor!]

It's a dumb rule. I'm all for any player to go to any team he damn well wants to, as long as the team is under the cap and both sides are happy with the deal I don't see a problem.

I don't know how I stand on the issue, really. I hold your point of view but also acknowledge rules is rules...

What made them weak? Please be specific because that could be a wide range of things.... If you want to get "technical" wasn't the West pretty weak this year? Hell San Antonio won the West and everyone knew they sucked.

The competition is the biggest reason they were weak. Like I said, Chicago and Miami were the only decent teams in the East last year.

By all means have your own opinion bcoop but don't ignore the truth. The truth is Boston is still one of the elite teams in the NBA.

I'm not ignoring the truth. I'm going by stats, and facts. I wouldn't put Boston in the top tier of NBA teams. Maybe towards the bottom of the second tier, but definitely not the top tier. If they were, they'd still be in it. Miami isn't great. They don't have a team vibe, they don't play as a team, and they are inconsistent as shit.

So you support collusion, and breaking the rules? Not shocked, there's more than one cheating cocksucker in this world.

edit: I searched and searched and couldn't find any rules regarding players talking to each other about who to sign with. Plenty of rules saying that team reps can't contact players, but nothing about players talking to players.

The East was weak as fuck last year. Just like it is this year. Only two teams worth a shit in the East are Chicago, and Miami. There's your explanation. So take that one off the board, and you're left with two 2nd round exits. Add in the Perkins trade, and voila.

I do agree with you however... Trading Perkins was so stupid and I knew that was going to bite them in the ass later down the road.

I'm still thinking this will be Bulls in 7. They will keep trading back and forth.

Heat in 6

[Juiced4v]

Wow Heat pulled it off!

[OreoStang]

Series tied at one

[idrivea4banger]

god its the nfl team debates all over again with pappapepper.....

[Juiced4v]

Should be interesting seeing Heat fall 0-2 in this series! I sure hope so..........

[pHILSANITY07]

I think Game 1 wasnt a fluke, I think the Bulls are that good on defense. I dont think they will hit as many threes as they did in Game 1, but i do like the Bulls in this game and in the series.

[OreoStang]

I don't disagree with that. But what they did was blatantly against league rules, and Stern has refused to acknowledge it. See, one player, can't contact another player, much less two, to arrange a deal for them all to wind up with the same team. That's EXACTLY what Wade, Lebron, and Bosh did. The league won't even do an investigation. That's just how hard they are trying to cover it up.


No, I'm not a cheater. I don't cheat at sports, video games, or anything else.

I hear ya but got to realize scandal sells. Today's world it isn't enough for winning need alittle drama to go with it
