dbadefense1990 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What the was with that bizarre Miami player intro?The Miami Heat PA announcer is just a nightmare to listen to.And (dating back to last year) the intros only have the player and his jersey number announced. Wasn't it that long ago that those intros also included the player's position, length of years, and his college/high school alma matter?Example:-Old intro"At forward, in his 10th season from St. Vincent/St. Mary's High School, #6, LeBron James."-Intro today"#6, LeBron James."

Lights Out Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Because we all have to pick sides, I'll go with 1. Jordan 2. Russell 3. Kareem 4. Magic 5. Kobe (!) 6. Duncan 7. LeBron as a quick-and-dirty greatest of all time list.Mine would be...1. Jordan2. Magic3. Kareem4. Wilt5. Duncan6. Bird7. Shaq8. LeBron9. Hakeem10. OscarI think LeBron will move up to at least #2 on the list by the time he retires, with a chance at G.O.A.T. status. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmd9 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, the Heat have by far the worst intros in the NBA. Zero excitement by team, announcer, and crowd. I agree about the Bulls, and probably along with the Cavs have the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yeesh, this has been a battle of the role players so far tonight. LeBron, Duncan, and Manu have played horribly and Wade and Parker haven't exactly been amazing. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The Heat are such a strange team for being full of super stars. They lose close games, everyone panics, then they absolutely dominate the next game. Why do they insist on making things so much more prolonged?

Lights Out Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's not really anything the team does, it's just that people blindly hate the Heat and overreact negatively to everything Heat-related. The constant hate LeBron and Miami get is so annoying and played-out, it's not even funny, especially when people defend past greats and other teams for doing the same things.

I've said it before many times. Basketball fans are dumb.BUT. It's one helluva team adjustment to go from losing one game to winning by 19 the next.

TalktoChuck Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 They've been talking to George Karl a lot since he was fired from the Nuggets. I believe they had a meeting with him the day Karl was fired.So I take this to mean that they probably are going to offer Karl the job, if they already haven't.

He was very thoroughly outcoached by Mark Jackson in the first round.I hope the Nuggets snatch up Hollins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The Grizzlies appear to be a very cheap orginization, this move is just about money they did not want to pay Hollins, who will without doubt get a new job before the week is up. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Maybe cost-cutting was part of it, but the main issue was that Hollins (rightfully) didn't appreciate being told how to do his job by a guy who once ranked Yao Ming as the best player in the league.

Lights Out Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Looks like Jason Kidd(!) will be the Nets' new head coach. According to Woj, they're ironing out a contract and agreeing on a staff. I'm surprised at how much I like this idea for the Nets - if any player could make the leap to head coach this fast and pull it off, it'd be someone like Kidd.

It should also be noted that both Doc Rivers and Mark Jackson never spent time as an assistant (or front office) when they were hired by Orlando and Golden State respectively, just seasons working on TV.

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I love that Tracy McGrady's career has entered the "applaud the old vet" phase.
