Heat: Pat Riley: Clown

[Thread]

He's a great planner, he just did not plan for the Spurs. He had everybody else solved. He just didn't see the Spurs coming until last June. Twixt the Junes is where is is culpable and where he turned loose of the wheel.

I'll entertain myself, pardon me:::and what is puzzling is that Riley was warned last June via victory. He didn't get ed by loss and have to learn the lesson whilst face ass down in the . No, he won and didn't see the danger, didn't feel the bullet whiz by his noggin'. So disappointing.

See this is why you'll never grow up. You come so close and then you fall back.

Maddening.

Lebron's not going to walk. Already pissed off a lot of people with the Cavs departure. Doing it again would make him even more hated than he is now

[Leetonidas]

It's all good, they'll get some ring chasers like Gasol/Deng on the roster next season and maybe a chump like Boozer to round it out

I see Miami making some big move to keep Lebron. Riley looked as desperate as the Duke brothers in Trading places in the stock crash scene

TOSBs believe 2014 was a fluke
getting demolished once (by totally 70pts ) ain't enough to convince people the cHeat are done

And Media/ESPN is faced with the sobering reality "the morning after" that there is just the one ring to go around each June. Last June took care of itself for them. This June took care of itself for them, but, not quite so much. Angst is now creeping in. "They" cannot afford for James to languish. founder & sink. SA ain't worth it.

From a media perspective, the Kwai Chang James trek through the desert, barefoot, playing the skin flute, looking for the man that shaved his head and stole his shoes, could be more of a storyline than another ho-hum Eastern run to the Finals through wet toilet paper and smoke/mirrors. It's been done enough times already... no new story even if the Heat won, James MVP.. blah blah blah... Media needs controversy to sell copy, not just sporting news.

...but, James is a sure thing. Peeling back the layers into the '50's-'60's Celtics and selling it nationwide will never work. "We" don't want substance. We're drunk on symbolism and that is what we're going to get.

"You" can go away now. Thank you, very much.

"They" hope, "They" pray it was a fluke. Only one team can do it. There is no pissing & moaning. There is no in house fighting, or, at least any that we've been privy to. Perhaps that will change now though. You ain't no Ozzie & Harriet in there. You put your pants on one leg at a time. You rape, you pillage, you cheat, you lie, you divorce, you fornicate, you swap wives, you go to bed with men. Will "they" permit you to remain behind the curtain, or, will "they" draw the curtain aside? You won two, got credit for the one without fanfare. I remember when Luva exposed Parker's rump 4 years ago. He had a nice keester. Encore?

James as a sure thing doesn't mean anything though, because sure things aren't news.

James is. ESPN is vested.

They were all over Kobe for 10 years and it worked... just look at all the love he gets here from people who only read about him and watch highlights. One thing is certain; Laker fan needs James to fail in order to prop up their broken hero, and even an old dog like you needs a hero and it ain't Horry and it ain't Daddy.

Not this Laker fan. Aside from him lynching Sterling in California I have nothing against James.

Though "They" were gathering in the shallows there after '08 on into the '10 Finals before Bryant double crossed "They" and Artest made "They" eat that sandwich whole.

Ask the Knicks about Riley's sense of loyalty and courage. Riley faxed his resignation.

Wade is done as a star player. If Riley can convince him to take a pay cut and a reduced role, that'll be his biggest accomplishment. Hiring a few more washed up vets for the minimum isn't going to work out any better than it did in Cleveland.
