I found this interesting, from Wojo's article:

Quote
“For myself, 44 minutes is too much,” James declared. “I think Coach Spo knows that. Forty minutes for D-Wade is too much. We have to have as much energy as we can to finish games out.”

LeBron James: where throwing the coach under the bus happens.

LeBron James: where making sure you get your numbers happens.

Like he knows what a real gangster is. He doesn't need to look beyond his team to find someone soft. Just bitter words from a bitter man after the supposedly "New Big 3" got torched by the REAL Big 3 again. He's Mrs. Villanueva 2.0. Can't beat the  Celtics on court so they go through the media to whine.

Pathetic.

What the hell is this "Studio Gangster" BS?  I thought the term was "Fugazi," as in "Kenyon Martin is a fugazi tough guy"?

I'm too old for all this [dang] slang.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
I like the Ray Allen approach of letting your game do the talking. Paul after eating his words a few times last year hasn't chilled with his Twitter darts. I don't know if I'd be squawking if I was the one guarding Lebron and his crazy avg vs the C's. A veteran club should be more quiet, but whatever gets their Swag on I guess.

Paul can talk all he wants to the “best passing forward since Larry Bird”, “next Magic Johnson”, “best player in the game” because he’s knocked him out of the playoffs twice and has beaten The South Beach Superstars in two very convincing victories.

“Eating his words”
 
When he said we were going to sweep Orlando, didn’t, but ended up still beating them anyways? I don’t think anybody on The Magic was calling him out while packing their bags to go home.

Pierce is as healthy now as he’s been since 2008. He’s as good at his craft as anyone in league history. He can tweet whatever he wants.


I actually don't mind Pierce talking (and LeBron is easily the best passing SF since Larry Bird. I think calling him the next magic is ridiculous, but some of the comparisons are fair), but I think what he meant by "Eating his words" is when Pierce said we were going to beat LA in Boston, then in LA, and did neither.

Again, I'm glad he says those things. I like knowing that the captain of this team has that kind of attitude. But, it did happen.
