Why is it wrong? Because you said so? I'm not saying he's as athletic but I definitely think the argument can be made. Some of Dr J's highlights are just as impressive as Lebrons.

Gasol is ass now. He's soft, past his prime, and is mentally weak.

Why do you think the Lakers have been trying to ship him out? It's not because he's the same player he was a few years ago, I'll tell you that much.

Thinking the same thing, Jamisons stock can't get much higher

Everyone always says, "Lebron James is the biggest freak of nature this game has ever seen", so it's not just me saying that.

What does that have to do with anything though? Seriously... I don't even know what you're trying to argue? LeBron is a freak, but so are others past and present.

My issue is you seem to think players in the 80's were prehistoric neanderthals or some shit...

16, 10, 3 assists and a block per game while shooting 50% from the field is "ass"? That would be the Cavs best player. They are trying to ship him out to sure up other deficiencies, namely PG which has been a weak spot for years.

I respect the hell out of those players and the history of the game, I'm just a realist when it comes to things. Any sensible person would agree that the game is bigger, faster and stronger today and that the athletes are superior, only argument I was trying to make.

what are Cavs fans looking to get from them? I heard the Lakers may be interested in Sessions.

Post stats all you want, but watching him play, he's ass.

And no, he wouldn't be the Cavs best player, regardless of what you think.

Cavs seem to be going in the right direction, if TT can improve his low post game and provide that low post scoring they may be only one or two pieces away from taking that next big step.

I seen somewhere the Lakers want to give Matt Barnes and Steve Blake for Sessions. NO THANKS.

Wishful thinking is that Jamison and Sessions stay hot into all-star break, we trade before the deadline, and hopefully tank the rest of the season while our young players develop.

Thompson stepped up and clogged the lane forcing a pass... That shit was wide open and closed in a hurry.

lol, true.

Also, I admit I was wrong. Jennings is not elite. He's very good, but wow. He's very out of control and is a jacker. I assumed he took so many shots because the team sucks, but he doesn't really look for anyone else. He comes down 5 seconds into the shot clock and throws up junk.

He does have great potential though.

I'd be happy if the rest of the season was just like this.

Games like this I view as win-win. I always enjoy watching the Cavaliers win because what else is the point of watching? However, if they lose I know it potentially helps their future. Makes loses easier to stomach.

Plus Jamison gives you your best chance to win. Trade his ass, lol.
