    What do you guys think of offering Birdman more to take him away from the Heat? If McFail is still here when we get a chance then there's no point but imagine a better McFail-less future in say 2 years from now. I think he's got alot left and be perfect as Dwight's backup.

    At times it was, but note I gave examples to what we (Rockets fans) know, in Seattle D as an example of 90s style ball.

    Was Detroit cheap, yes but they were HARD with their fouls. They would D you up, body you up and back up their talk.

    Lance is NOT that. Blowing in LBJ's ear??? Touching his face??? That is b**** ball. Period. It's not even basketball.

    Honestly the only way to be cheap in basketball is when you deliberately try to hurt someone.(Barea elbow to Bynum) I do think Lance was going for the ball and didnt mean to hurt Cole same as the Bev and Russ situation.

    What Lance and the Bad Boys did was to make you uncomfortable and make you not play your game.(Like Bad Boys fouling hard,for no layups,getting close enough to annoy someone) So what he talked trash that **** always happens.

    I agree with this even though it shouldn't be this way.

    Sad thing is people will make him the scapegoat when he shouldn't be.

    "Hey Chris, listen. Why don't you leave the team that just won 3 in a row and will continue to dominate the league for the foreseeable future and come to a team that doesn't know how to play defense and has a clueless coach for a few extra million. Sound good? =^)"

    What a sales pitch.

    Roy Hibbert and Paul George should personally thank Lance Stephenson for him taking the spotlight off how trash they were in elimination.

    I truly believe the Pacers would not even make the playoffs in the west. Miami is so lucky to płay in the east. If LeBron stays in Miami, I can't even think of a team that would challenge them in the coming years. Maybe a Melo Bulls team and that's a maybe.

    Nope you can't raise to Andrew Bynum. He coat-tailed on Kobe + Pau to make it in the NBA for a few years. Note that the Pacers didn't "right" their ship until they cut him. That says enough of how much ANYone thinks of him.

    And how is that working out for him? Seriously, he isn't stepping up to Lebron. He has conceded the basketball battle and is just trying anything to get an edge. In the process, he isn't playing very team oriented while James proves his superiority by simply playing and even more efficient team game.

    Stephenson shouldn't poke the bear.

    :grin: You have a point there. But looking at how and when Bird Man got signed to the Heat is kind of skeptical. Andersen somehow was online dating with a 17 year old and then the charges went way because he didn't know. But whatever controversy it was the Heat managed to grab him before anybody else.

    What in the world does any of that have to do with what I'm talking about.

    None of that has to do with the hard foul argument Funny thing is people trash Bynum and then trash Kobe by bringing up he had Bynum and Gasol

    he's stepped up on his end, paul george has disappeared tho.

    the pacers can't beat the heat straight up so he's trying to use every little trick he can and try to motivate his team in the process.

    him and west the only onesplaying with any kind of heart

    Indiana sucks because Paul George and Roy Hibbert sucked that has nothing to do with Lance Stephenson.

    Lebron probably has this type of game without Lane Stephenson antics.
