No irony. He very clearly acknowledged that he was trolling. I know it, you know it, he knows it. He's also very, very good at it.
Clearly they need to send LeBron back to Cleveland for that no. 1 pick. On a serious note, since we never defined the word "contender", I have to say ... I don't know!
That would be funny if this was not their 4th straight NBA finals. You know 1 more in a row than we have in our history. Even if they lose they will have 1 more title in 4 years than we have in our history. That is great trolling right there.
So you are saying replacing Mike Miller and Joel Anthony with Michael Beasley and Greg Oden was a bad idea?
No it was funny regardless. The topic has absolutely nothing to do with Miami's franchise history. I think we all know the point he was making.
Lakers and Celtics have been to more Finals than Miami. Does that mean Lakers and Celtics were contenders this year?
Is either playing in the finals right now? Nope they are sitting at home same as Portland. Whether or not Miami can actually win the series is debatable but until that final horn sounds and the Spurs win one more game then absolutely they are contenders.
