I don't think getting Battier is going to help a ton, contrary to everyone else.
Yes, Battier is a very good player, but they needed help at the point and Center, not the 3 where they have the best player in basketball.

Lakers show is over.

- CP3 trade blocked
- Not getting Dwight
- Traded Lamar Odom for NOTHING
- Lost Shannon Brown

It is not restricted like that in real life.

Like the 95-96 bulls, Ron Harper, MJ and Pippen ( played pg,sg,sf respectively) could all switch around the spots, as they could all defend any of those positions equally

Now the heat are the same, Wade, Lebron and Battier all can equally defend each position well ( maybe battier on PG, but Battier's defense is renowned, many statistics on Battier's defense shows his an amazing lockdown defender for star players ( e.g. kobe)

Battier can not play the point, he is a small forward.
Dwade could probably still play the point, but they still don't have someone good to play the center. Chris Bosh is a pussy.

The great have fallen. Kobe is flying solo in terms of marriage to.

I just played with the Clips, pretty overrated, all you can really do is get fast don't lie with cp3 , butler and billups on the wings and throw some sick nasty alleys to griffin and jordan when they hurry their butt up the floor.

Idk about you guys, but the heat is a straight NASTY team now, I wanna ask a question to all you homies out there, how the FUCK did they afford Shane battier? you know what I think? Illuminati, I straight fuckin think the illuminati made battier come to the heat, they needed someone that was underrated and someone no one would question, but let's be honest, how the fuck did they afford Battier?

this was setup by illuminati fo sho, I FEEL IT

Illuminati what else can it be? mid-level exception had a lot to do with it probably. Battier is a great compliment to the Heat, but he needs to pick up his old defensive game it's not as good as it was before. The Heat still need a damn center.

Can't wait to see the Clippers! Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, Chauncey Billips, and maybe Chris Paul!

Hot DAMN the Clippers (Lob City) looked tight against the Lakers.

Bulls beat them by ~40 points the other night. And yeah, Dallas is sucking the anus. I haven't really been following Dallas, anyone care to offer some insight as to why?

Might just be a championship hang over. Team looks out of place on the floor, could just be growing pains for the season. Of course the pieces they lost in the off season contribute to their terrible start, but we can see them pick up a torrid pace and climb up the standings soon.

 

[PanPker]

a lot of people didnt expect that last night LOL

I always thought Tyson Chandler was underrated. Looks like they are struggling without him.
