Who is the most high profile person sticking with Cleveland?



Is any pundit, player or reporter picking Cleveland at this point?

Somebody has to be saying that "They were down 2-0 last year, you always have a shot with LeBron James" shit and actually favor them.

I see stuff like this-- "Bomani explains why despite trailing 0-2 in the NBA Finals, the Cavaliers still have a legitimate shot of winning the series"-- which I think is ridiculous enough.

But I'm really curious who is the main person actually saying it will happen, not just saying it can't be ruled out.

Nah Fan Lebron's legacy is set in stone now as far as chips then yes Durant will prob have Bron stuck on 3
You're right, I did say the post you quoted I don't think an L here will have a negative impact on his legacy, but if they go say the next 2-3 seasons, and KD wins 3 or 4 at LeBron's expense, that shit will raise an eyebrow. LeBron is 32 Bruh, an old as 32 in terms of league time, so whether people want to believe it or not, the sand is running out of his hour glass and he can't have too many more missed opportunities...

Thompson was giving alot of money to rebound..

Lets be honest...both JR and Tristan have gotten lazy since they jipped the shit of the Cavs for those new contracts. Both of them will remain in chill mode from this point forward. Mark my words.


Noah did it with the Knicks....
Rose is gonna do it after he;s signed next year.

Youll see a lot of good/decent player turn mediocre once they get new contracts. Thats the type players we're dealing with. Only a handfull want to win. The ones that aint worried about winning can just join the Warriors and hide behind their "star power".


Shhhiiiiddddd.... Kerr realized that he better get his ass back out there before errbody realizes his irrelevance...:giggle:...


LikeErik Spoelstra when LBJ was in Miami, Kerr has always been irrelevant from my pov. Warriors were built for success prior to Kerr. Roster just needed a few tweaks and Currys ankles to stay healthy.

Cavs looked overwhelmed. I will say it. GS sweeps them, and they are the best team ever without a doubt. They drop a game or two, I guess some naysayers can get in some arguments.

Like I said, I'm happy I got to see one chip. Fuck KD. :hmm:

Folk are seeing what your seeing.. the GS pace is killing the Cavs... we said Bron will show up its the other cats that's suspect.. Thompson has literally been taken out of this series so far.. Blame kardasians

Lue up there smiling on the podium, that's a sign of defeat like he's saying "we ain't go nothing to keep it"

Seriously man Cavs need to package love, JR, Shump, Thompson and some future picks for Davis or Cousins or a top PF or center for starters

Letting go Liggins is coming back to bit y'all in the ass

He made. Them play defense
...and he led them to getting bumped in the first round his last year there... Year before they made it to the second round... Mark didn't build a damn thing... He was a good coach but all of a sudden he deserves credit for their chip when he couldn't get them out of the first round? Makes a lot of sense good brother..

Lol they not getting Davis or cousins; they not getting another "top"player.. they gotta make do with what they got; nobody wants none of those players outside of love; people notice how those players play without LBJ; Cavs are stuck.....

Neither of the PTI guys will say this is over. They've been very off. At the start of the playoffs, Wilbon predicted seven game triple OTs because both teams are so close. Tony Kornheiser says Cleveland has a chance and will win game 3 easily-- http://www.espn.com/espnradio/play?id=19552996

This shit is fucking over. :itsawrap:
Most of the media, especially ESPN, no nothing about sports; they just talking personalities; i don't think it's over yet, but for them to predict such things shows their level of competence.....

Understood... he still didnt make it past the 2nd round. He actually digressed instead of improved in terms of team achievement. He was a good coach no doubt, but to say he deserves any credit for them winning a chip is bullshit. Especially 3 years later... we migth as well give a ring to their college coaches for believing in them and giving them confidence, their high school coaches, their elementary coaches for teaching them fundamentals....

Yall go a little bit overboard with this Mark Jackson nonsense really. He was a good coach who did help the team, along with a great front office. He didnt build anything....

Tt and Jr wasn't that good to begin with; they got paid because of how they played against the east and last years finals; but lets be honest, they both barely above average players to begin with.....
As far as GS; roster needed more than a few tweeks; they play a completely different style of offense and defense and that's directly tied to Kerr; putting iggy on the bench was a huge decision; starting and developing green was a huge decision; and their are several more.. l but GS has drafted well so management gets major credit for that......

Dude thats really some of the dumbest shit Ive heard basketball related..
I mean I'm all for giving us credit and i know how some whites are; but this ain't it; Mark had that team playing completely different than what they've been since Kerr; so I'm not giving Mark no credit for what's taking place now....

he has 8 REBOUNDS combined for the 2 Finals games:smh: They brought KYLE KORVER to the team specifically for his 3 pt shooting and he hasn't done shit. He was scared to shoot the ball in Game 2

I never thought korver or deron would be effective against GS; they both could have a solid game though; but overall I never bought into the hype

I told cats signing Williams was a mistake he is who he is.. Rep LSN and Mack even told folk that nigga wasn't bout shit. Korver wasn't a bad signing if he's playing against eastern conference teams.. Against GS he's useless

I knew he wasn't either but to go against GS is the only reason they signed him. They know GS relies on the 3 so to try and match them they went and got one of the top 3pt shooters in the NBA today. Doesn't he have the record for most consecutive games with a 3 pointer or something like that? He has had chances to do what he was brought there to do to, the cac just hasn't done it:hmm:
