Lol!!!

Kyrie is really good at basketball. The Pacers are sliding. 5 straight losses.

Luckily for them, not much will get a team back on track like a stretch vs NJ (8-22), vs Charlotte (3-25), vs NO (5-23), @ Charlotte (3-25), vs Golden State (11-14), @ NO (5-23). Possibly the easiest 2-week stretch any team will have all season.

Sounds like I missed a really entertaining game last night. Glad Kyrie is back and not showing signs on his concussion.

Just watched the highlight, they didn't show one positive pacer play lol. Kind of a nice change for a Cleveland team. Gibson looked like a total wimp writhing on the floor in "agony" after landing on George's ankle.

That was said today..


That's only the hundreth time this season he's hinted at coming back.

I don't want him back....no matter what.

great God given ability and zero heart. You don't win championships like that....unless you surround yourself with other superstars

Would take him back yesterday.

Cleveland fans would accept him back in an instant.

It would be very hard to accept him back. Fans would do it, but he will never be revered the way he was before. It's not just that he left Cleveland, it's how he left Cleveland that will never sit well with fans.

I agree completely. I just finished "The Whore of Akron" makes me remember all of his bullshit. No thanks.

Translation: "Lin is getting too much attention, I need more press!"

paraphrasing, but when asked something along the lines if he would ever play for Gilbert again he said "I play for the coach"....However, when Byron Scott was asked about the whole thing, it seemed he doesnt think too highly of James.

Cleveland fans would take him back in an instant, they would take back Art Modell if they thought it would bring them a Championship.

Anyone who is a Cleveland fan and says they wouldn't take the best player in the game back, is f'n stupid!!!! Get the fuck out with that crap. I'm butthurt from the way he left too, but I like fucking winning. So hell yes, come back!

Yep. Heres some more tweets regarding this nonsense. I dont know if he ends up back with the Cavs but I def think he opts out of Miami at the end of next season

Jason Lloyd@JasonLloydABJ
LBJ on if he could ever play for Dan Gilbert's team again: "Dan is not the coach. I'll play for any coach. Let's see what happens."

Brian Windhorst@WindhorstESPN
LeBron on Dan Gilbert: "He said what he said out of anger. He probably would want to take that back but I made a mistake too."

Jason Lloyd@JasonLloydABJ
Not that I'm around him every day, but today was the most contrite I've heard LeBron since he left. Amazed what he said about Dan Gilbert

Brian Windhorst@WindhorstESPN
LeBron on playing with Cavs again: "You can't predict future...If I decide to come back hopefully the fans will accept me."

Brian Windhorst@WindhorstESPN
LeBron said he is happy where he is now. Also said: "I think it would be great, it would be fun to play in front of these fans again."

Brian Windhorst@WindhorstESPN
LeBron practicing in Cleveland today had some interesting things to say about prospect about returning to play for Cavs in future.

Lebron failed to win a championship in 7 years with Cleveland. He also hasnt won one with the Heat. Why would we think Lebron coming back to Cleveland will bring us a championship?

Skyhook's obsession with Cleveland fans is just pathetic. He is nearing capone territory.

It wouldn't hurt...

I'm not mad that he left. I HATED HOW he left, but that's spilled milk. No use in holding a grudge over a professional athlete.

Players come and go, and if one of the best wants to come back, I'll welcome him.

I would take Lebron back easily from a basketball perspective, but he would have some serious apologizing to do on the PR front to make up for spurning us on national TV.

Regardless I'd still take him.

I said IF you thought it would bring your team a Championship you would want him back.

Once again you contribute nothing to the topic.

The way he left along with some of the things he has said and done since he left are what pissed me off. I enjoy watching Kyrie and this years team, not really concerned about Bron anymore.

I think he has regretted his decision and if he had a chance to do it all over again he would have stayed. Will he return? I dont know but I def think he wants to more than people think

I disagree. I think he still leaves, just goes about it differently.

I root for the Cavs. If LeBron ever came back to the Cavs, I would begrudgingly root for him much like I do for him when he's on the Olympic team because it's for the benefit of the team. Still won't change my opinion of him as a person though.
