2015 NBA Thread: I felt a great disturbance in the trolls, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. (1 Viewer)

All that talk when the Cavs were down 2-0 and 3-1 about how Cavs will have to trade either Love or Kyrie I guess that's over now ?

I wonder if Lebron is cold blooded enough to still trade Love.

What about 3 pt %?

 

[Bobcat10]

Kerr probably regretting intentionally losing game 3.

Glad I didn't have to post this. Lol

 

[Abraham]

Where is the guy who laughed at me for saying the cavs had solved curry and might win 4 straight when they won game 3?

Averaged 30-11-9 for the series?  Did I see that right?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Can Stephen A. Smith go away now?

 

[SoBeDad]

No. But his wife wanted to come back so I doubt he actually leaves again.

In Cleveland he has a guaranteed trip to the finals. 

 

[Politician Spock]

When you steal a fire truck, you gotta use the siren, right?

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

All time great game, draft Thursday & busy offseason ahead 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Can Stephen A. Smith go away now?

What doesn't kill him only makes him stronger.  He's like a super cockroach.

Well yeah...and the horn.

 

[Zow]

Awesome thread title. 

Lebron now top 5, likely top 3 all time, right?

Hopefully they can find a beer hydrant.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Lebron now top 5, likely top 3 all time, right?

Sure Skip. 

 

[Bobcat10]

I don't know what to do right now this is all surreal.  I honestly thought I would never see a Cleveland team win a championship in my lifetime.

This is pretty great. Downtown looks crazy. I told my 10 year old at the start of the 4th quarter, either way this goes it will be your first real experience of Cleveland sports. After the game he asked was this the best Father's Day gift ever...I said ya buddy but I've only been a dad for 10 years. Lol hella yeah bromingos Go Cavs! 

 

[sho nuff]

A lot more "we" and "us" and "my guys" talk in this sit down presser with Lebron.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Lebron should now play Qb for the Browns and take them to a Super Bowl Title

 

[Zow]

Sure Skip. 

Jordan. 

Magic, Kareem, Oscar, lebron, no?

Could an argument for Russell. Clearly lebron now one notch abovr bird, wilt, west, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, and Hakeem. 

 

[Slapdash]

What an absolutely amazing game that was

 

[GroveDiesel]

Best overall Finals performance ever IMO.

I love basketball more than I love anything but my kids and Tennessee Vols football.  I feel completely authorized to tell you that I think Magic Johnson is the best player ever but I understand the argument for Michael. I can tell you that the best careers ever ever belong to Kareem and Duncan. And I am beyond ####### certain that if I had to have one putt to save my life it would be at the club of Tiger, one game to shutout would be at the hand of Pedro, one touchdown to throw at the hand of Brady, and one game to win at the hand of Lebron. He is amazing and I am glad to cheer him on.

Fixed that for you

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Oops, father setting a great example here too. 

 

[Synthesizer]

Jordan.

Most of your top 5 played between 30 and 50 years ago so....

 

[wadegarrett]

I think I'm floating.

I don't understand your point. 

 

[DrJ]

Definitely bumps Lebron up a notch.  He's probably firmly ahead of Tom Chambers at this point.

 

[GroveDiesel]

I read a comment on Twitter that the Browns are off the hook because they could go 0-16 and nobody would care. Seems exactly backwards to me. Cleveland fans finally know a winner. They no longer have to accept losing as part of their identity. From now on, if a Cleveland team sucks, there's no excuse about being cursed or any nonsense like that. Cleveland fans have every right now to expect more from their teams and to punish the ones that are consistently bad due to cheap owners and poor management.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Love was +19 tonight. No one was even close to that. Love Love

 

[tdoss]

I gotta admit...I never foresaw the NBA turning Curry as heel.

Pretty good writing, I must say.

 

[Synthesizer]

I don't understand your point. 

Just watch some game tape of the level of competition those guys were beating up on.  It's bad.

 

[Frostillicus]

Guys.  Kevin Love averaged 16 & 10 this year. His PER was top 50 in the league this year.  They don't need to trade him.  Golden State just happened to be a bad matchup for him.  

 

[Abraham]

I really like his game and watching him play, but he definitely had a heel turn this series. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

Skip Bayless tweeted that Irving should have been the Finals MVP. Love that Lebron put a stake in Bayless's ESPN career tonight. Hopefully that turd drops off the face of the earth now.

 

[sporthenry]

Guys.  Kevin Love averaged 16 & 10 this year. His PER was top 50 in the league this year.  They don't need to trade him.  Golden State just happened to be a bad matchup for him.  

But he isn't going to be a great match-up against any of the top teams.  Better served taking that money and using it elsewhere.  Tough to use that kind of money on a guy who can be rendered useless against certain opponents.  Especially if JR Smith goes, they could use a solid 3 and D guy.  Not to mention, you can get some vets like David West to play on minimum contracts.  

 

[Abraham]

Ariza, jones (sign and trade) and filler for love 

 

[Tecumseh]

No more waiting for next year!

Great post.

P.S.- I'm also from Hudson.

OMG! Lebron is literally Hitler!!!!!!!

Just kidding. Great ad. 

 

[scoobus]

Great game, congrats Cleveland fans!

The playoffs this year only really had three compelling series, but SA/OKC, GS/OKC, and CLE/GS were all fantastic.

Interesting that the winner of those series went on to lose the next round.  

 

[AAABatteries]

If you don't think he is one of the two best basketball players ever than you are an idiot. 

I still have Jordan ahead of him and it's hard for me to say definitively that he's better than Russell but I won't argue for anybody else being better.

 

[Mister CIA]

Hooray for the Cleveland fans!

 

[AAABatteries]

Congrats to Cleveland and their fans - incredible comeback! 

 

[bud29]

Cements Lebron's place in the top 15 forwards of 2016, IMO. Great performance.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

When you say "top 15 forwards", do you mean "in the NBA" or "in northeast Ohio"?

 

[DrJ]

Kobe still put up more points in his final game of the season.

 

[top dog]

Just leaving downtown cleveland. An absolute party. I've spent the last 42 years waiting until next year. What a great game!
