Let's take a moment to laugh at Pat Riley and the Heat

[BooyaCS]

Just another addition to LeBron's graveyard:

Atlanta's Horford/Joe Johnson era. Dead.

Boston's big 3 dynasty. Dead.

Chicago's Derrick Rose era. Dead.

Detroit's Wallace era. Dead.

Miami's big 3 era. Dead. After he got done with it.

OKC's KD era. Dead.

Washington's Arenas era. Dead.

73-9 Golden State. Dead.

No Neidermeyer... DEAD!!!

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

So we all going to act like Bosh ain't joining the king after the heat take him out

LBJ is plotting

 

[BooyaCS]

I got nothing against Bosh at this point. Wish he'd be healthy and get back on the court safely.

Plus with their team gutted it won't make a difference how well he plays.

You know how last year the whole East was basically tied except for us and the Raptors? My prediction is that 3-8 are all bunched together and it's just us up top with an MVP LeBron and a healthy lead over second place Indiana. Miami misses the playoffs.

WHY NOT BE COCKY ASSHOLES WILL THERE BE A BETTER TIME FOR THAT?

We are the NBA champions and TO BE THE MAN YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE MAN... WOOOOO....

While the odds of this happening are slim, a front line of LBJ, TT, and a healthy Bosh would be impossible to defend. That trio could lock down both ends of the floor.

We'll probably be there at some point, so I won't laugh. That is brutal. At the end of the day they got titles out of it, and we have one and will probably get at least one more, so it's worth it. That's the point of the game.

 

[Change of Pace]

That Heat roster is down right pitiful.

 

[SVC]

Click on Heat forum, see them hoping for a tank. The tank is such a years long soul-crushing exercise that fails 90% of the time. Look at the Sixers.

Even teams that are well run and make good picks, ala Minny and Boston are still years away after years already with no guarantees they'll ever be more than possible contenders.

And I look at 71 year-old Pat and just laugh. When he's mumbling while his nurse spoons him cream corn, if you listen need real close, you'll hear him still cursing Lebron.

Lebron crushed the so-called Godfather in every way imaginable. Wins first championship for Cleveland in 52 years and spends his vacation in Wade's ear to drive that final nail in Riley's coffin.

I'm still laughing at you Pat.

Those around you say how badly you hated to see Lebron win. Fuck you. He wasn't done with you yet. He also took Mr. Heatlifer away. All while you were out trying to land a "whale". One that you had no prayer to land. So amusing.

Wayne Ellington, James Johnson, Derrick Williams, and Luke Babbitt.

Enjoy running those clowns out. And the funny part is Whiteside and Dragic will probably win you just enough to get a shit pick next year anyway, and then you have no picks after that. And no stars to attract other stars. And the most famous Heat player of all time and the GOAT King James in the ear of every free agent telling them what a piece of shit you are to work for. The Heat are in hell for a decade, and we know Miami fans, once you suck, they don't stick around. The Canes draw 1-AA numbers. The Fins play for orange seats every week.

When you suck for decades, you can usually look back and point to a few crucial mistakes as the beginning of the end. Fifteen years from now when Riley is nothing but a grease spot in King James rear-view mirror and they're writing his obit, people will remember how it ended badly for old Pat. How he took Lebron leaving personally, and overpaid for Bosh because he was shook, and didn't like Wade's friendship with Lebron and didn't take care of him, and how his rash mistakes snowballed.

Kids will hardly believe the Heat were once good and a big national story and used to sell out every game.

It takes a long time for franchises and programs to rebound when old men stay too long at the helm.

Still laughing

Oh, poor Pat. His sadness over losing Wade knows no depths (of course try to forget that he could have easily had him back for a few dollars more). His histrionic text to Dan Lebaretard is the stuff of schadenfreuden dreams. It is the revelation of a rat bastard realizing his rat bastard ways have consequences:

"SADDDDDDD!!!! SO saddddddd! I will never forget the sixth game in Dallas in 2006. DW rebounded the ball, and threw it to the heavens and the Heat universe was perfect for that moment. Our first world championship. Our universe is not perfect today. It will be fraught with anger, judgment, blame instead of THANK YOU!!! Ten years ago. Ten years older. Ten years wiser. Ten years changed. All of us. Dwyane had a choice, and he made it. He went home. Bad, bad summer for us. But there will be another 10 years, and it will be someone or something else in 2026. Move on with no blood or tears. Just thanks. I truly loved Dwyane, but families grow, change and get on with another life. He will always be a part of us. ALWAYS! And no more bruises and enough fighting. Let’s just fly above it if we can and never forget. I feel his pain and pride for what pushed him over the ledge. Been there. Forever, for always, your coach I will be. FOREVER!"

It reads like a text written by a 16 year-old, bi-curious girl Twilight fan who wants to attend Evergreen State.

Think they'll fire him to save face or is he game for another rebuild (e.g. stealing franchise players)?

Pat Riley is never going to be fired from a job. Nor will Phil Jackson or Pop.

They'll retire or resign.

"SADDDDDDD!!!! SO saddddddd!

This is worse than comic sans.

I couldn’t believe this was real. It honestly reads like something a melodramatic teenage girl would write while she cuts herself.
