Watched the Miami vs. Orlando game over again.

When Lebron is in, the team loses chemistry.  He just stands around until he gets the ball and it's 1 on 5 - everyone else just stands around.   He doesn't even try to get an offensive rebound.  The coach looks lost.

Also, I don't know if you caught this - one of the commentaries were talking about the the time it takes for players to develop chemistry and Miami is gonna be fine later.  another one says if Magic, MJ, and kareem were on a same team, they would win right away.  then one commentator says that comparison is not fair cause MJ, Magic and kareem are smart players!   haha.

so lebron , bosh, and wade are not smart?


I believe he said Magic, Jordan, and Bird.

sorry it was Magic, Jordan and Bird.

I think these three are better players, not just have higher IQ.  Or was he saying that Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are not that smart?

He said that those three had the highest IQ in the game of basketball ever. And that they would raise the level of play from sub - par players. I don't actually think he said that Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are not smart. But a trio of Jordan, Magic, and Bird >>> Lebron, Wade, and Bosh for sure.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

Bird is the worst player out of the three on his side and he is better than all the  three combined on the other side.

I haven't watched much of the Heat this year so this is interesting to hear.

I really feel like sooner or later, the shit is gonna hit the fan if something doesn't change. Either Lebron's teammates will start getting pissed at him for being a ball hog, or he'll get pissed at the players for not helping enough, or the coatching staff will get a backlash from the team for not making use of all the talent or something..

A winning team has to be more than just the sum of its parts. I think the Heat made the mistake in throwing together a bunch of talent and assumed that meant automatic rings, when there are other factors like team chemistry and knowing your role on a team. The Heat are going to learn the hard way that you simply can't just buy a championship.

Every time Blake gets the ball, he does something cool.  Clippers are fun to watch again.  I mean, for the first time.

ESPN had Blakes 10 best dunks shown.  Rookie of the year for sure.

That much is obvious based on the fact that they've already got a third of the losses the cavs did all of last season.

The 09 cavs likely would of trounced this 10 heat team so far.

Think he could pass Stockton's record?

Of most assists in a season? I doubt it, Stockton had an advantage (other than being one of the best PG of all time) and it was that he never missed a game. While I do think that Rondo can keep his assists high (maybe not 15pg), he's gonna miss some games for sure. I'd love him to get it, though.

I think he's got more chances of surpassing Skiles' record of most assists in a game some day. And for certain he's gonna pass the Celtics franchise record this season (I think it was 28)
