Not impressed with the Heat, or LeBron. They are way overhyped.On the other hand I was very impressed with Rondo tonight.

I just don't see how Boston can win this series now...you get an absolutely insane night from Rondo and you still lose....

I really think the Spurs or OKC will absolutely roll either of these teams.

And if they don't win it this year what's the excuse? Apparently the Cavs weren't good enough, last year the Heat hadn't "gelled," if they get rolled by San Antonio in the finals, which is distinctly possible, what more does he need before he's considered a failure when it counts?

Because nobody in this area cares about KD? LeBron was once a Cav, of course he's going to draw more attention to this area..

He's also labeled himself as many things and refers to himself in the 3rd person... KD has not done any of that.

If Durant, Westbrook, and Harden have a party in the offseason and guarauntee 8 championships, perhaps they'll start taking the same criticism when they come up short in big moments.

Is it completely objective? No. Did Lebron bring it all on himself? Yes. Are you a gigantic tool if you're rooting for the Miami Heat currently? Yes.

But it was only an issue with everyone in the Lakers/OKC game???
Have you read this thread? lol there was probably a "heat get all the calls" on every page during this game.

Has Durant proclaimed himself to be the king? Did he say he was going to win 8 titles? Did he pretty much tell his former team to go fuck themselves on national TV?

Didn't think so.

LMFAO at this guy. 2010 called, it wants its fail argument back. Also, do you realize a good portion of the posters posting about LeBron aren't even Cleveland fans?

Going in the playoffs (even without bosh), I thought the East was set perfectly for the Heat to make an easy run to the finals. The Heat had an overrated Knicks team, a Pacers team without a star player, and now an old Celtics team. Not to mention Rose tore his ACL. I don't think any team in the East would make it out of the West.

It's hilarious how nobody understands this, and then they try to turn this into a cleveland fan thing, even though there are plenty of LeBron haters here that aren't even Cleveland fans. I say this all the time, but it's also hilarious how the same posters who didn't suck LeBron's dick when he was in Cleveland, now all of a sudden suck his dick.

Didn't think so.
Also told his loyal fan base who has supported him since HS, and a city to GFYs as well. Takes a smug pos of an entirely different level to do that.

But Cleveland should be in love with him and admire everything he does!

/idiotbandwagonlebronpenissuckers

The funny thing is nobody is denying that LeBron is a great player, we just think he is a POS.

You're not even paying attention. Talk about an over simplified IDIOTIC argument. IPOTW.
Congrats.

You fail to mention that the Cavs team had best record in the NBA in back to back years, had many deals fall through bc scumbag POS LBJ wouldn't agree to a long term extension, See Trevor Ariza and Ron Artest. Wouldn't help the team out in recruiting players (ala Michael Redd) LBJ couldn't be fucking bothered to meet up with him and talk about the team/organization, instead Eric Snow had to meet with him (lolz). Bosh wouldn't sign off on the sign and trade from Toronto bc scumbag pos wouldn't agree to an extension, I could keep going. Basically LBJ held the franchise hostage, and hand cuffed them from making moves bc no one would agree to come here, if Lebron bolts, which he did. Its just as much of LeBron's fault as anyone that the team couldn't sign key FAs, trades etc... Pretty hard to get better in this league when your team is picking last in the draft, and your star won't re up thus making FAs leery of coming here. Not surprised that went over you head though and you succumb to the fail argument that you hear from your idiotic friends in toledo (prob det fans and still butthurt over LBJ pwning them in the playoffs) that don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Or you're regurgitating what you hear on local sports radio, which is a fail unto itself.

rob eluded to it. Probably bc he's the biggest LBJ "supporter"/excuse maker/apologist on this site along with Jordo. Great company he keeps. He can be as delusional as a kobe supporter when it comes to LBJ and any player that is perceieved to be close to his level.

LMFAO reps, this is the old CoA I have talked about.

Not to mention the Boozer deal the Cavs were doing him a favor since he was on a rookie deal, and the Cavs couldn't re-up him until the contract expired or if they let him go. Instead they did him a favor, by saying the would release, and then sign him to a new contract, which Boozer agreed upon the numbers and everything. Boozer then decided to be a POS and bolt for Utah. Yeah, it clearly was the front office's fault that Boozer decided to turn into a piece of shit, even though the front office was doing everything to pay the man and extend his stay in Cleveland.

Gotta love when dumbasses on here, either are misinformed and throw out idiotic arguments, or they know exactly what went down, but they still throw out narrow minded/one sided arguments, because no matter how you put it, when all facst are placed down the line, LeBron looks like a piece of shit. I guess if i was a LeBron penis sucker I would "tweak" the arguments to make him look favorable.

None of that mattered. Star FA players do not want to play in Cleveland period regardless if Lebron talks to them or not.
