Cleveland Cavalier 2017-2018 Season

Myles Garrett feuding with Smash Mouth about Durant sounds like a weird dream you'd have.

Jesus did Myles Garrett stir up a shit storm with GSW's fans with his comments about Kevin Durant. I'm liking this guy more & more. LOL

Can't stand the Browns but I love the coattails comment. 

Also, I've seen Warriors fans basically argue they've won four championships (citing Green's "bullshit" suspension) in 2016. But yet here Durant isn't riding coat tails because they didn't win the championship.

Six of one, half dozen of the other....Cavs fans can easily argue that if Olynk doesn't try to take K-Love's arm off and KI doesn't get injured, the Cavs have back to back rings and KD maybe never goes to Golden State. Warriors "fans" have selective memory about that shit and don't want to hear any part of it. The Warriors have feasted on teams that were lacking their star player(s). No team has been quite as fortunate as them.

Yeah, but Kyrie/Love being out in 2015 didn't help them out at all LOL.  

Not to mention I hate the Green argument. People conveniently forget that love left game 2 I believe with a concussion and then didn't even play in game 3.  So the Cavs also missed a main piece in that series.  Also everyone including the Warriors were dancing on the Cavs' grave when they were up 3-1.  Little unanimous MVP Curry wouldn't win a home game without Draymond? The Draymond excuse is bullshit and they know it.

And this is what I hate most about their bandwagon fans...selective memory. They will be the first to throw out the Draymond thing but conveniently forget 2015 (Love/KI injuries) and the fact that they have won almost every series to get to the Finals with their opponents top player being out injured.

Another thing that pisses me off, non of my workers or friends here in the Bay Area seemed to NGAF this season. My co worker who is the biggest GSW "Fan" I know, went on a date for game 1 instead of watching (but turned phone on airplane mode to watch later lolyeahok). Asked "are you going to the parade?"

"Nah, honestly it's kinda of boring now."

Anyone looking for some wonderful memorabilia??? NBA is auctioning off JR Smith's Game 1 jersey!!

Phil handy and Jim boylan were let go today. I think signs are pointing to Lue being gone 

Lebron has left his team the last two world cups.

The USA participated in those World Cups...maybe we are safe!

Obviously just Summer League and means very little, but so far I'm liking Sexton's game. Kid can play.

Agree

He was lightly recruited out of high school and seems to use that as motivation.Works hard and has a high motor.

I’m really liking Sexton. And can we all agree Cedi is a beast. I think he takes a huge leap this year. I really love his game

Regarding Cedi...still pissed Lue didn’t make him a top 7 player in regular season. He would’ve helped so much in the playoffs.

Sexton? He was ranked 7th in the nation by ESPN and had offers from Bama, Zona, Florida, Georgia Tech, Iowa St, Kansas, UNC, NC St,  Oklahoma and Villanova. 

Being lightly recruited certainly does not apply to him.

Agreed 100% still don’t get why JR played over him. Cedi just has that energy that translates to everyone around him. I’m excited to see when he gets a lot of minutes, the type of player he can become 

If I'm understanding the summer league tourney bracket correctly, they play Toronto in the quarterfinals today at 6pm. 

Cavs sign Love to a 4 year extension for $120M
