That's when your tirade started. Not because he was losing, not because he quit, not because the Celtics turned the series in their favor, but because me and some others started calling LeBron out for his bitch performance...

It's quite sad how obsessed you really are with this guy. You'd probably defend him over your own mother LOL.

And if you think I'm pissed at LeBron leaving, you're dead fucking wrong. Couldn't care less about the guy. We didn't win shit in 7 years with him, so I'm perfectly fine with him leaving and going to another franchise, essentially admitting that he couldn't win a title as the main guy.

I think in the end, the Cavs will be better off. Lesson learned, no one player handcuffing an entire franchise anymore. Dan Gilbert can build this team the right way now.

Like I said, if you think for one second that I hate the guy for leaving, you're wrong. I hate how the guy left. See, you're not a Cleveland sports fan (although you claim to like the BROWNS AND STEELERS LOL WTF?) so you wouldn't understand the heartache of this city sports wise.. The Drive, The fumble, etc... Then to come on ESPN and name this "The Decision" was a direct slap to the face... Not only that, but the douche talked in 3rd person the entire time.

That's why I do not like LeBron. Do I care if he wins the title? Nope. I'm just watching basketball. Me being in this thread has nothing to do with LeBron. I've been on this thread discussing the games, dumbass...

Outstanding. You said it so much better than I was trying to say it. The whole "root" of the disdain for Lebron, as a CLEVELAND fan, comes from these previous heartbreaks (Drive, Fumble, Joe Table Implosion, etc) and then to get kicked in the nuts by this clown on National TV?

This>>> "essentially admitting that he couldn't win a title as the main guy" is also spot on. Didn't have the sack to stick it out so he had to join forces with an AAU All-Star team. He may "win" his championship but Lebron James will NEVER be looked at as a "winner" in the eyes of most knowledgeable sports fans.

Yawn.

All you Cleveland fans are banding together, shocking! Good for you guys, that's what you should do. I still don't buy it but you don't have to answer to me, the fact that you tried flatters me though.

no shit idiot.

Did you read what i wrote? I said the bulls were obviously more focused than the heat if they beat them around like that. Your name should be synonymous with Capone/Modell.

No shit they were, but you said you didn't see how it was a fluke. That's how it was a fluke, the Bulls beat the shit out of them. That's a fluke.

Me hitting a 98mph fast ball would be a fluke. The top team in the east beating down another team is not a fluke. Kobe getting swept? Fluke, something you never see. LeBron and Bosh not getting it done in the playoffs? I've seen that a few times so no, not a fluke.

If the rebounding edge continues to be like this, the score will likely follow and it won't be.

Agreed, to a point (they may not shoot that well from 3 again), but I don't expect that to be the case. Chicago should win the rebounding margin, but not like they did last night. But we'll see what happens.

The Heat losing by 20 in the playoffs, dumbass. That's a fluke. Not that they lost, but that they got blown out--especially in game 1.

The irony.

What about the top seed out playing them is a fluke? The Heat not being ready for Chicago isn't a fluke, it's poor coaching and the fact their team is filled with players who think they're entitled to a championship without having to put in work. (i'll explain this later if it goes over your head)

It's the same "inmates running the asylum" situation as it was in Cleveland. Lebron tunes out Spo just like he tuned out Mike Brown. Because he's perhaps the top player in the world "he don't need no stinkin' coaching."

Key word is stinkin'. Spo is awful. It's not like this is abnormal either. Jordan and Kobe both, at times, tuned Phil Jackson out and didn't give him much respect. That happens with star players, especially when they have awful coaches. Mike Brown wasn't any good, Spo isn't much better.

Unless they get a Phil Jackson/Greg Popovich type coach or Riley comes out of the front office, Lebron isn't going to listen to them either.

It's true and false. True in the sense that Cavs fans were upset that LeBron left, but no more than any other big time free agent on any other team. The Cavs fans were upset just as much as Magic fans when Shaq left, Wolves fans when KG left, etc....HOW he left took it to another level. So you're right in saying that fans cared THAT he left, but that was only a small part of it and no different than any other fan base when a big time player leaves. HOW he left made it a worse situation and I'd love to see you try to refute that.

Yeah, I think this team needs a coach like that. Look at all the great dynasties, they all had a great coach. Granted, a lot of that coaches greatness was built on how good of a team he had--but there certain are some who are better than others. Spo is way out of his league and frankly I wouldn't respect him much as a player either. He's AWFUL. Has been all season. Some of his rotations are just completely retarded.

I won't refute that. I can see that, understand it. Definitely made it worse, but when people specifically say they don't care that he left but they hate him for how he left, they're completely full of shit. ESPECIALLY all the ones who loved LeBron while the Cavs were winning.

Good post. I think MOST fans are over the "THAT he left part" but the disgust still lingers from the "HOW he left."

I don't think someone like Pat Riley would take shit from him. In fact, it might have been interesting to see what would have happened IF he stayed in Cleveland. Byron Scott constantly called out players and I don't think would've taken Lebron's petulance either.

I am pretty much over the whole situation. He is a great player, but he is 8 years in and will never be the player that he was hyped to be. He is not Jordan or magic.... he is simply the best player of his generation. But now... to me, his antics are comical and he is on another team that i do not follow.
