Would I be way off to reason

The current Bulls team

Is better than the Bulls team

That went to the ECF a few yrs ago

Really it's more simplistic to say

The Cavs current team is far better than

The Cavs 2007 Finals team and any Cavs team in between

The Heat did go to 4 straight Finals and won 2

While I don't doubt the Cavs prowess

This isn't a chop liver benchmark

Where did you hear that rumor? I think I started that one but I was dead serious. All I saw the media say is that he went on a meat, chicken, fish, veg, fruit diet which is BS. You don't lose 50lbs in 2months. Clearly stopped using HGH knowing they will test. Nice heads up by the nba protecting their star. Wouldn't want to pull a baseball and tarnish the game with Bonds, McGuire, Sosa, Clemens and Arod

Where is this 50lb figure coming from? Did Lebron officially put that figure out there or is it just speculation? 50 lbs is a huge amount and but even in the pics I've seen it doesn't appear as if he lost that much. Maybe 25 at most.

And even estimating based on pics is tricky. Camera distortion and perspective distortion can have a huge affect and makes basing estimates like weight and weight loss fraught with error if based solely on viewing photos.

I'm not sure I believe that- people said exactly the same thing a few years ago when he joined the Heat, though they were citing his diminished athleticism. To be honest he doesn't look that much different- just looks like a guy who lost a little weight because he was turning 30.

And I was wondering to myself

Which team are these comments coming from

It sounds very familiar

Insert Team' players are enjoying the Princeton offense of Insert Coach.

Insert Name described Blatt's offense as "borderline genius."

“I like his offense a lot," said Insert Name. "There’s great ball movement, which is very key in the game of basketball. There isn’t as much of one-on-one. There’s a lot of the ball being kicked from one side of the court to another, which is important. But I said ‘Spurs-esque’ because it’s really all about ball movement—like how the Spurs create those mismatches with defenses by moving the ball so precisely. It doesn’t let the defense lock in on one guy. That’s a lot of what he wants, as far as back-screens, dribble-hand-offs, coming off screen and rolls, kicking and advancing the ball. It’s all about ball movement, that’s key to being a successful team.”

Lol you left Coach Blatts name in there, so it's obviously the cavs. but I doub that player is LeBron. Sounds more like a role player who believes he'll get more touches...likely a big man who said this.

but yeah, all team say this stuff, it could be plug and plugged into virtually any training camp roster.
