lol at these Pat Riley suggestions.
Really?
Really?????????????????
You actually think these 3 WEAK MINDED, casual, hip bros is gonna want to play for Riley? You think they're going to survive through Rileys practices and be able to give 100% effort and stay on task? Hell no, these dudes just wanna chill. They can't survive under an alpha male type coach like Riley, Sloan, or Pop.
[QUOTE=gts]there's a longer version that was on sportscenter, lebron was barking at someone across the court when the heat called a time out, maybe not the ref, maybe one of his guys for blowing an assignment but somebody across the court near the sideline after dirk scored..
that's beside the point though, i still think too much is being made of it, you could just as easily be saying spo ran into lebron since he made as much effort to avoid lebron as people are saying lebron did to avoid spo. and as pointed out you can clearly see lebron reaching behind him to pat spo after the contact
you know i'm no lebron fan but i think this is more a case of people seeing what they want to see than what was actually going on.
people have alot invested in lebron failing and as such will jump on anything no matter how small or trite to keep him down...[/QUOTE]
Even if the initial bump wasn't intentional, the fact that Lebron, after running into his coach, didn't stop to apologize and make certain he is alright shows the lack of respect.
Can you imagine Deron Williams walking in Jerry Sloan and not immediately apologizing afterwards?
I've always been an LBJ fan but this looks bad.

Totally agree with the bolded.
Man if Kobe did that to Phil he'd be benched. Shaq too, once Phil got up a week later from the hit.
I'll give LeBron the benefit of the doubt and assume it's a mistake. Not apologizing is inexcusable, though. Maybe the Chosen One should take Manners 101.

You know how sometimes organisations would rather ignore some bad or ill news about its people than admit the fault. NBA doesn't really do this a lot (ignoring bad news), but it was still funny/surprising to see a video that bruises the reputation of one of its superstars put on NBA.com.

ahh, gotcha! that is a good point. lol
maybe they like the negative press in this case? perhaps its generating interest... its certainly generating a lot of dialog on ISH!

"Should I remind you I've done this before?"
[QUOTE=DuMa]holy overblown story batman[/QUOTE]
This isn't overblown. All of this stuff is starting to add up. I agree at first it was absolutely ridiculous the way people were treating every move the Heat made. It was exhausting actually. It got to the point where announcers would bring up something about the Heat 8 or 9 times a game while calling a different game!!
But all these little issues are adding up, creating a snowball effect. It will be interesting to see if anything happens, or if they just keep losing.
by the way.... i think "bumpgate" is one of the best thread titles i have seen in a long, long time... haha oh geez, i finally have to give konex due props... argh!

Charlies Barkley the other night nailed my viewpoints to a 'T' in regards to how the Heat should play.
Lebron -is an exceptional athlete and he is still playing his style of game from when he dominated in the high school ranks.
Problem is a one man wrecking ball can't beat an average NBA team , and needs to play with a team (team concept)
----------
The Heat players need not multple leaders , but a [U]TRUE Leader and that has to be D-Wade[/U], and eventually over a few seasons Lebron will take over the team.
I hate to say it , but Lebron doesn't know any better , because he is that gifted.
-------
Go back some years to Gervin (Ice man) JUST great individual numbers and scoring titles , but did you ever see a dynesty , or multiple titles from him :confusedshrug:
It's a team concept , and Lebron really needs a authoritarian type coach to coach him in the principals of playing as a team.
Which means a different coach , and a different style of play from him , playing a team concept style ,, and you know what : being probably the best bballer in the history of the game.
---------
Reflect on MJ ... then look at Kobe ,, and now look at lebron.
MJ had to adapt , Kobe has , and I respect his game even more , but Lebron is 'were' MJ and Kobe WERE.
---------------
He needs to be taught , and everyone jokes about JAckson , he would be a perfect fit ,, but he is all most retired.
Sloan is already committed to Utah forever.
That leaves only two coachs that can do it : Jeff Van Gandi , and Riles.
It's in Riles court , what he wants to do and how much he wants to pay.

I doubt if JVG will want anything to do with riley after the SVG incident.
That leaves riley as the only option left. RudyT and Hubie are pretty good but already too old. guys like sloan, pjax, larry brown etc are not available.
I want to see Lebron try to bump Riley, he'll probably kick lebron's ass lol

RudyT is not head coaching in the NBA anymore. JVG would not be a good choice as he is not capable of taking a team to win a ring.
:pimp:
that looked intentional, Its not Erics fault they are losing, with 3 players like James, Wade and Bosh, they should be able to win still with Kevin Oneill as their coach.

Rudy T still works for the Lakers and is apparently loving life as a scout, being able to spend time with his kids and still keep up with basketball, so I don't think he's going to put himself willingly in to this mess.
