Well I would say that Miami's biggest issue is that you can't predict which player will show up or who won't show up when it comes to being productive in games. Lebron James is the only one who consistently shows up but because of that every season I think he will begin showing signs of fatigue which could lead to him being less of an impact player and career ending earlier then expected because of fatigue. Dwayne Wade because of injury is not even close to who he use to be as a player. Like Dwayne Wade was missing open shots and playing basically no defense in the finals. Chris Bosh wasn't really productive in the finals either. Then Miami also had no consistency with the rest of their players on the bench. I mean their most effective player off the bench was Ray Allen who is 38 now and will be 39 in a few weeks so he won't be playing a role in winning possible future championships because he will likely retire soon. Since Miami lost the way they did people are questioning will Lebron stay in Miami or leave because he has really been the only consistent player on his team (which is basically how it was in Cleveland for him and which is why he left there). It is almost a guarantee if Lebron leaves he will go to another Eastern Conference team so he still has a chance to make it to the Finals easier because it is the weaker conference whose only other good team is the Indiana Pacers. If he goes to the West it isn't such a guarantee that he will make it to the Finals because it is the stronger conference that consist of many teams that are continuously making it to the playoffs or are constantly getting better like the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Memphis Grizzlies. Yes Lebron would make it to the playoffs if he went to one of those teams in the West but going to the Finals isn't as much as a guarantee in the West. It would be easier to make in the Finals continuously if he stays in the East. I've been a Spurs fan for years so I'm happy to see them win the Finals especially after coming within seconds of winning in last years game 6 of the Finals. Coach Popovich made changes which included working more on defense, shooting 3-pointers, rebounding, and passing. He also allowed his team to rest having no player averaging more then 30 minutes a game. Tim Duncan is 38 and Manu Ginóbili is 36 so they need rest to be completely effective/not fatigued. Tim Duncan played better than he did last year when it came to rebounding and Manu Ginóbili lost weight/is healthier compared to last year. Since Coach Popovich made changes it allowed the Spurs to have more depth with their team. They have Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginóbili, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Patty Mills, Tiago Splitter, Boris Diaw, and Marco Belinelli who can be effective in every game. That is 9 players from a roster of 15 players. The other 6 players can also be effective if needed (specifically Cory Joseph and Matt Bonner). Because of the depth they were considered to be the better team in the Finals but I don't think anyone could've predicted that the games in which the Spurs won would be games that were won by 15 or more points (Game 1- 15 pts, Game 3- 19 pts, Game 4- 21 pts, Game 5- 17 pts.).

Right I'm reading some comments on JX and how they are so disappointed. I didn't post but I'm over there like disappointed in what. They are acting like Janet announced she was performing then didn't show up or announced a single was coming out then it didn't. I'm over here like we were only going to get new pictures. So to speculate something is wrong with her or her marriage is doing a bit much especially because she only missed one event. I mean it is almost easier to speculate she never planned on attending because even though amfAR announced she was going to be honored on their website they didn't promote it like she was going to be there like they did with Naomi Campbell hosting and Mary J. Blige performing. I mean even Janet's team didn't acknowledge she was going to be honored and they almost always do that on her website, Twitter, and Facebook.

lol Thank you for the welcome. I've actually had a account on here for a while just haven't posted but once before this thread. Definitely going to be posting here more often.

But how is she hidden away in Qatar when there is no paparazzi there to begin with. We've never had a paparazzi picture from her in Qatar yet we've had pictures/tweets from people there that have seen her at hotels, eating dinner, etc. So obviously she isn't staying hidden yet there aren't going to be paparazzi pictures like when she is with WIssam on vacation, at fashion week, or walking around (like in Cannes, arriving/leaving a restaurant, etc.) . I mean it really isn't new that Janet is a private person so I'm not expecting her to change her public persona this far in her career when that is a person she has been for the better part of her career.To be honest I'm still surprised at how public she was with her private life while she was with JD when that was the opposite of how she was when she was with Rene and now with Wissam. And yes this is Janet's longest break in between albums but she has been doing things career-wise since she last released a new album with new material like she released the Number Ones Album with some promotional performances (X-Factor, Jingle Bell Ball, American Idol) and went on Tour, was in 2 Movies (Why Did I Get Married Too? and For Colored Girls), & was a spokesperson of Nutrisystem. So in reality she has only been on a break from her career since about mid 2012 (after being a spokesperson for Nutrisystem) so that is really about 2 years. There isn't a problem with that line. Remember last year when Ian Cross (Janet's engineer) said that she had rented a villa there to record when we got a few album updates last summer.

But they don't solely live in Qatar though. They spend a lot of time in Paris as well. Plus Janet has been going back and forth between Qatar, Paris, and California since they started dating. I honestly don't get why people are surprised she lives in Qatar. Like Wissam's family business is based there so obviously they are going to be there a lot of the time. I look at it like this Janet can record an album, film a music video, etc. from wherever because of the business she is in. Wissam is a businessman in a family company so obviously it would be harder for him to just up and go whenever and wherever like Janet can. I don't see it any different from Janet moving to Atlanta while she was dating JD. I would think living where Wissam is just more convenient especially because they are married instead of constantly going back in forth between Qatar and California.
