lol at mills trying to catch the L-Train.
First time Cavs big 3 each had 20+ points in back to back games.

God the Spurs bitch so much about calls. Every damn shot they took you could hear "and one" and then immediately complaining to the ref. SmhCommander of Awesome;1779109 wrote:[video=youtube;hizfltiXRWM][/video]

Take their cue from Tim Duncan, who still has never committed a foul in his career.

They all cry and 1 on every shot and parker falls no matter what, when he drives. It's so annoying

How many has Lebron? Dumb comment. Nobody has brought Cleveland a championship since 1964 unless you count indoor soccer.sleeper;1779089 wrote:Congrats he finally showed up and played an NBA game. How many championships have Love won us?
As far as Love goes, the last week has been a positive sign. His ability to help space the floor is a value in itself. Hopefully this continues.
Nice win last night but I'm not getting too high or too low. Still a lot of hoops to be played. Everyone has an off night. Hell, GS almost got knocked off by Philly last night.

Sleeper's hot take sports arguments follow this formula:
-Sleeper says (insert player) is garbage.
-Poster proves sleeper wrong with data that pretty much says the exact opposite of what sleeper just said.
-Sleeper responds with "how many titles has x won?" Because we all know every good/great player in the MLB/NBA/NFL wins a title. I forgot how all those HOFers all have rings :rolleyes:.

Good article by Terry Pluto. Terry is one of the few members of the Cleveland media I respect at this point.

The worst part was saying "how many championships has Love won US?" Same as Lebron and LBJ's been here a lot longer.like_that;1779128 wrote:Sleeper's hot take sports argument follow this formula:

Now I don't think anyone's going to say LBJ's "garbage" but fact of the matter is that he's brought Cleveland the same number of rings as Love, ZERO....but Love's the scapegoat? Not saying Lebron should be a scapegoat but the championship comment was just dumb.

I think no matter what, just the heat and bosh, Love will always be Cleveland's scape goat. Even if we win a title or two, I don't think Love will be appreciated. Bosh wasn't appreciated, and now that Lebron left everyone has been reminded that Bosh is a pretty damn good player. It comes with the territory of having 3 max stars.

Precisely. I think people want to set aside the fact that he's the third wheel in this group but don't want to set aside the stats.like_that;1779133 wrote: It comes with the territory of having 3 max stars.
Most people should've known there would be a drop off in his stats yet they all come back to that.
He's almost averaging 16 & 11 (before yesterdays game) which isn't garbage.
Bosh's numbers dropped off when he went to Miami. Lebron left and, surprise, his numbers have jumped back up. Same would happen if it was just Love & KI.

I know Magic and Bird and the Pistons and Kobe and Jordan all did their fare share of bitching....but IMO Duncan from his 2nd year on has bitched more than any other player in sports history and started the stars talking to officials after every call. He's not been AS bad the last 3-4 years but he's the one to blame when I see others doing it ad nauseumSportsAndLady;1779114 wrote:God the Spurs bitch so much about calls.

Interesting.
The Cavs took a lot of heat for firing Blatt. IMO, it was the right move and it's already showed. Blatt was a fine coach but not the coach to win multiple titles with this team. Just because he was #1 in the East in both seasons, doesn't mean he was unjustifiably fired. I like Blatt, but I was glad to see him go. Also, he took the firing like a champ and I was glad to see that.

Not been a good last couple minutes by LeBron. I wonder if he's considered passing.
