What have you asked lol. I don't fit your straw men so I am not sure what you want me to answer LOL?
Frankly I'm not the one going around crying about people making generalizations and misjudging someone without qualified context while you are literally making sweeping generalizations and judging others in the same manner. Including in the same posts.
Yep I agree

If I see the Cavs take 30-40 free throws then the fix is in
It takes a team to win, his teams have failed to win 2/3rds of the time. Why would you mock a player for putting the weight of a team on his shoulders and coming up a little short? He's been to the finals 6 years in a row, 2 different teams, Jordan's never done that, nobody's ever done that. It seems extremely ignorant to to ignore everything he's done and focus on just championships because that's the one thing to can point at and say "over-rated". That's the type of thing a person who watches basketball 7 days a year would say.

For better or worse, when you are the face of the team, you catch the brunt of the fallout when things go poorly. In contrast, you get the lion's share of the credit when things go well.
I think it is fair.
And please link me where in in this thread I called LeBron "overrated". I'll wait.
Nah, after the finals is when I get the chance to live in a short-lived state of optimism that the draft and FA will bring me a better team for Anthony Davis and the Pelicans.... But then I realize we have a shit GM and ownership that refuses to do anything about it. So our long term prospects are in reality pretty grim.

If the Pelicans could lure Westbrook to New Orleans...lawdhabmarcy. That would be a FUN watch.
Sweep?
If the Cavs don't win tonight the series is over.
K Love did solid in game 1. Kyrie could've been a little better shooting, but I'm glad he was aggressive in shooting the ball. The rest of the guys were scared to shoot, JR disappeared.
LeBron surprisingly wasn't as aggressive as I thought he should've been, and he made a lot of odd mistakes in the 3rd that took them out of the game. But to his credit he is getting everyone involved. It will take a miracle, but the Cavs still have hope if James gets in the paint more and finishes when he's there

I'm always back and forth on how much I like/hate YNB but I think he and Davis would actually be a pretty good duo.
Cant see this organization in its current state ever getting a player of his caliber in FA though.

I would go haaaaaaaard after one of these FA's. If AD continues his upward trend he's gonna own the league in a year or so.
Then why don't you explain it to me?
How about actually reading my posts that I took the effort to write, so I don't have to conveniently organize them for you? You still haven't addressed any of the valid points I've made, because you can't. You're a clown.

How about we stop the stupid back and forth that very clearly is going nowhere in either direction.
Unfortunately we don't have the cap space to make any real big swings in FA because we traded two lottery picks to pay Jrue 11 million. Gave up Robin Lopez and Vasquez to get Tyreke Evans and then decided to pay Omer Asik 10 million a year to fumble passes and get layups blocked.
Yes the Cavs will sweep the GSW in 6 games.
Warriors still win with that many FT's for Cleveland

Everyone that was actually there during the shift knows what happened, whereas you are pulling assumptions out your ass. Why should I stop you now?
Maybe one of the 7-8 "back and forthers" might help you out cause I certainly ain't gonna do it.
Lets drop the personal attacks alright?
What valid points? You are often arguing giant straw men, offering opinions or just making apologetic statements in your long winded answers. I am not going to argue positions I do not hold. I'm not "hating" Lebron for most(if not all) of the shit you are projecting onto his detractors.
All I am interested in is bringing to your attention and calling out some prominent behavior you are exhibiting here because its annoying and shitting up the thread. There was some interesting discussions you could of probably had if you had gone about things more maturely but you just went about everything in such a poor manner and have become so combative.

cavs are losing by 20+ tonight
I can only imagine how badly the Cavs would get beaten if Lebron played as poorly as just ONE of the "splash brothers" did in game 1. lol Often times the Cavs look completely lost without Lebron on the floor (especially defensively), even if Kyrie is out there.

So dude, are you jacked for the Wiggins/Townes Era? I'm still not sold on Super Jordan Clarkson (LaVine) for you guys but a core of those two could be tremendous in a few years if they gel under Thibs.

Foster reffing ... in Oakland. I see you NBA. What's the prop odds on Draymond getting 2 techs, an ejection, and suspension for game 3?
Let's go Dubs!!!

He's still a great player and still obviously capable of delivering something like that. It's just that when he doesn't his style is fugly.

Without Foster reffing, I would have had Golden State by 12 or 14. With Foster, Cavs win by 4.

Anyone else remember Livingston's injury when it happened? That was just as bad as that Louisville dude breaking his leg.
And not share them...

Scott Foster is there to help you out:
Tell me he didn't eject Iggy for that?

Scott Foster is there to help you out:
Iggy's face looks fucking hilarious with the zooming in and Foster in the back reaching for the whistle. Was he ejected? Was he mocking him? What was his dancing in response to?
