FTL. Go Cavs. FTL. :cheer

Who's on board?

[honestfool84]

[Spurs Brazil]

I don't like LeBron and all this act stuff but I hope they win because Ferry and coach Brown are great people

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Go Bulls...

Agreed, but if not them then definitely Cleveland.

[SenorSpur]

Count me in, baby!

All aboard the Cleveland Express.

[Kermit]

Go Lakers? Howaboutsuckadick?

Go Cavs.

[jacobdrj]

I am not a fan of LeBron, but he hasn't mustered my hate, which is interesting because he eliminated my team twice.
Melo bothers me. Kobe bothers me. Shaq bothers me. Jackson, Artest bother me.

[Spurminator]

Go baseball!

[Yorae]

Go Pacman!



Oh....wrong thread......

Go ABL. Anyone But LA!

[Manufan909]

Go Nuggets!!! Or rockets or Magic, just not the two media darlings.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bwahaha...good thread..


Coach Brown, Ferry, Spurs Org. exports....Team defense...slow-paced boring ass 77 point games with a lone-star team...reminds me of the Spurs in the mid 2000's....

I don't understand the Lebron hate. He's flashy, but he's a beast and is very good to his teammates, and relatively mature with all the hype surrounding him.
He could have been a team cancer, instead he became a legit franchise player and leader.

I seriously don't understand the resentment against him compared to the other prima donnas. He could have been really stupid like Amare, or really selfish like Kobe or a playoff ghost like Garnett. Instead he tries to deliver every night.

He's 24 and deserves to enjoy his basketball stardom.

[Chomag]

No thanks, I can't stand the Cavs and their pre-game, and in game antics.

[mizalexandria]

Go bulls! If they dont beat the celtics im officially just a spectator.

[Borosai]

The Cavs are really the only team that I can root for now.

[duncan228]

Duncan told LeBron after Game 4 in '07 : "This league is going to be yours soon."

I think "soon" has arrived. It's LeBron's time.

[HarlemHeat37]

I love Lebron..

he's playing on a team full of role players and anchoring them on both sides..playing with a Spurs coach..defensive-minded and boring on the court..

he's the flashy version of Duncan from the early 2000s..

[TampaDude]

FTL. San Antonio North got this. They were built by a Spur, coached by a Spur and use Spur schemes. FTL.

I didn't think you'd go for the Cavs. I've thought who would I go for if the Spurs lose and the Cavs are the team I'm going for. I like Mike Brown and Danny Ferry way more than I liked AJ ;).

[alchemist]

sorry but I'm definitely not on board, I simply cannot stand Lebron, amazing athlete and has taken his team to a different level but I just cannot stand him. Maybe it's the fact that he's been forced down our throats for 5+ years. If they win great. But I can't root for them.

[Spurs_down_3to1]

You spurs fans are low. Bottom line, you need to pull for the two Texas teams since they are from your state. It should be about wanting the Mavs or Rockets to win.

[DDS4]

Lebron vs. Kobe.

Ratings bonanza!

[Crookshanks]

I'm not a huge Lebron fan - but I'll always root for whoever plays against the Lakers! Besides, Lebron has stepped up and developed a more rounded game since the Cavs were swept by the Spurs. I think that was a BIG wakeup call for Lebron - he realized he wasn't as good as Timmy and he really wasn't ready for Prime Time.

And Danny Ferry and Mike Brown have done a great job in getting the right players around Lebron. The bottom line - the Cavs are playing like the Spurs of old - so what's not to like?

[Capt Bringdown]

You spurs fans are low. Bottom line, you need to pull for the two Texas teams since they are from your state. It should be about wanting the Mavs or Rockets to win.


Exactly. These folks must not be native Texans.

Keep it in Texas. Rockets all the way, they're a classy outfit save for Artest.

[Allanon]

Duncan told LeBron after Game 4 in '07 : "This league is going to be yours soon."

Sorry d228, I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Duncan. :lol

go lakers. i hate lebron.

Sorry about the loss today, I honestly thought the Spurs would pull this one out.

[Kermit]

You spurs fans are low. Bottom line, you need to pull for the two Texas teams since they are from your state. It should be about wanting the Mavs or Rockets to win.

Fuck the Mavs. May they go up 3-0 on the Nuggets and choke it away in spectacular style.

[DMX7]

go lakers. i hate lebron.

same here.

[Crookshanks]

I could pull for the Rockets - I'm impressed with how that team has pulled together after McGrady was done for the season. But I will NEVER root for the Mavs - except MAYBE if they were in the WCF against the Lakers. But they'll never get that far - so I won't have to make that tough decision! :lol

[baseline bum]

Fuck that...I will never root for the Rockets after what happened in 1995, nor the Mavs for pretty much the entire Cuban run. Go Cavs!

i think the problem is the nba and media is always showing his cock on tv and alot of games, fuck that shit we respect his game, we know who he is, but when you televised alot of cavs/lakers games it gets fkn boring watchin the same joke ass one man team week after week.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Go fuck yourself, dipshit. Enjoy your team getting bounced in the second round. The Mavs suck. Zero rings. Oh, BTW...the Mavs suck.

[holcs50]

go lakers. i hate lebron.


You gotta fucking be kidding me dude. wow, GTFO, lol, no seriously. Im rooting for nuggs against mavs....hopefully portland can come back on houston, doubt it, but whoever wins that hope they beat LA...

Definitely rooting for the Cavs, im aboard the train. Though could give a shit about the east, but Cavs will have the best shot at beating the fakers, so im on bron bron's nuts i guess

[crc21209]

I'm with you timvp. The Cavs were built just like the Spurs. They were built by Danny Ferry and are coached by Mike Brown. Two great guys....Go Cavs Go! FTL!

I'm on board!

I understand hating Lebron..but cheering for the Lakers? that's a death sentence if you're a Spurs fan..

I'd honestly rather watch a baby get killed by lions then watch the Lakers win a title..maybe that makes be a bad person, but I could give a fuck..

[Mugen]

the only team i may hate more than the mavs is the lakers.

so yes i am on board.

I'll do it because timvp asked me to.

Any Spurs fan tempted to root for the Lakers need to see a therapist...

If Cavs win a ring, Spurs don't have to deal with pompous Cavs fans in the West coast since most of the NBA fans in the west are Laker Bandwagoners, who will be bitching about Lebron's hype....

if Lakers win this year.. NOT ONLY DO WE HEAR TEAM OF THE DECADE NONSENSE from existing Laker fans, we'll have to hear it from 1000's of brand new Laker fans :lmao acting like their new team is hot shit....

The key is to root for a team that has a chance. :lmao @ rooting for teams like the Mavs, Rockets or Bulls. They don't stand a chance. It looks like it'll be either the Lakers, Cavs or maaaaaaybe the Nuggets if they stay extremely hot.

But the Lakers are the Lakers and the Nuggets have tried to kill Manu too often for me to root for them. That leaves the Cavs who happen to be built in the Spurs' image.

Easy choice.

Boston is a wild card I think.

FTL. Go Cavs. FTL. :cheer

Who's on board?

WTF? season is over

[whottt]

Go baseball!

Rack!


In basketball though, LeBron all the way. Even without the Spurs connections I like LeBron better than Kobe and Phil.

Besides...LeBron took his Spurs asskicking like a man in 07, only fair that he get to dispense a little, and I can't think of a better recpient than Phil and Kobe.

Kobe must be denied a Shaqless title. Fuck him. And Phil. Asterisk city for those two!


I could see a conundrum though...should by some odd occurrence the Lakers and Rockets meet in the WCF, I'm really torn on who to root against more in that potential series....

I hate the Lakers, I hate LakerFan, I hate Phil and Kobe, pretty much as much as it's humanly possible to hate something...

OTOH, I hate the freakin' Rockets too. I hate their fans, I hate their 95 title, I hate LUIS FUCKING SCOLA, and I hate Rocket Fan.....possibly more than it's humanly possible to hate something...still, the Rockets have produced some Spurs heroes...

This could suck, I guess I can always root for armageddon instead of the Lakers or the Rockets.

I'm leaning towards hating the Lakers more though...RocketFan is a douchebag, LakerFan is a plague.

[timvp]

Oh and the Cavs winning the title will help the Spurs' legacy. One day, little kids will be like how the hell did Bruce Bowen own LeBron James so badly in those 2007 finals. No one has been able to stop him since.

Spurs fans will point to the #12 hanging in the rafters while giving a knowing nod.

it would be a lot easier to root for the cavs if they stopped all that gimmicky bullshit.

then i look at kobes face and realize maybe its not that bad.

Lakers and Rockets will probably meet in the next round. They can't meet in the WCF because of seeding.

It's going to be Lakers/Rockets vs Nuggets/Mavs in the WCF.

[polandprzem]

Is there a place for me on this ship?

So Reggie Evans = Cavalier ?

[whottt]

Go Lakers in that situation.

I just can't do it. Fuck the Lakers. Kobe must lose, or I'll have to hear how great that MF is for the rest of my life every time is name is mentioned on a National network. It must not be...

Edit: I'll have to hear how great Scola is as well...but since I already hear that to a sickening degree like every time he's scored 10 points in a game for the last 2 years, it can't possibly get any worse than it already is.

[baseline bum]

I just can't do it. Fuck the Lakers. Kobe must lose, or I'll have to hear how great that MF is for the rest of my life every time is name is mentioned on a National network. It must not be...

timvp comes correct more in the offseason than during season :lol

[cnyc3]

Go Cavs!
Go Canucks! :D

[Dex]

I don't cheer for any team other than the Spurs. I may watch, with feigned interest, but it's not anywhere near the same.

As a Spurs fan, however...I will cheer against the Lakers.

[timvp]

So Reggie Evans = Cavalier ?

Unfortunately Evans > Thomas :depressed

[birdy219]

Go Bron Bron! :bking

They will have to fight like heck to win over the lakers. Stern has spoken. Bron Bron will have to play like a man possessed.

[timvp]

Sorry, I'm too emotionally invested with the Spurs to really go anywhere else. I'll be a spectator for the remaining. Whoever wins, wins.It's not that I like the Cavs. Their azzhat pregame crap is definitely weak. This is 100% based on selfish Spurs fandom. Kobe wins a ring and then there's an argument that Kobe > Duncan. The Lakers win a ring and there's an argument this Lakers era > this Spurs era. And FTL.

The Cavs winning makes 2007 look more impressive. It also helps the Spurs look impressive considering the Cavs basically stole all their personnel and strategy from San Antonio.

Protecting the Spurs' legacy doesn't end with their season ending . . .

[E20]

Fuck yeah I'm rooting for Lebron. He's fucking awesome. I knew Cavs would win it all this season.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I don't cheer for any team other than the Spurs. I may watch, with feigned interest, but it's not anywhere near the same.

As a Spurs fan, however...I will cheer against the Lakers.
As an NBA fan I don't mind it while the series and games are in action....
The only difficult part is watching the trophy ceremony :depressed...but after seeing guys like Big Baby, Jason Williams and Antoine Walker get their rings, I'd say I' built up a good enough tolerance for teams I have no hate for winning it....

As a Spurs fan, it's imperative that Lakers, Kobe, Phil not get their rings though. I think 2004 was the only time the championship ceremony felt like another Spurs victory, just because it was so humiliating...:lol

[xtremesteven33]

Its pretty simple guys...

Anyone but the Lakers....

F*** Phil, Kobe, Derek, Odom, Vujacic, Farmar and all those Douchebag "fans" who Boo you one season and get all wet over you the next....Bunch of fat cat aristrocrat business monopolized L.A. fans....pssshhh

Only Jack gets a free pass as a true Laker fan since he was the only one on the sidelines during the 2005 season. :lol

[DubMcDub]

I'm very surprised to see Spurs support for the Cavs. That being said, I wouldn't expect you to support the Lakers, Mavs, or Celtics so I guess it pretty much defaults to them.

[rAm]

I am with you TimVP, I've been pro cavs for 2 reasons.

1. I don't want garnett to have another ring.
2. The team of the decade argument, and FTL.

Lebron deserves a championship anyhow, and a majority of laker fans don't deserve one.

[Killakobe81]

Keep bringing the Laker hate ...but evem more annoying than "Le EGO's" act ...is Mo williams acting like he is God's gift.
But whatever bring on teh cavs if we get to the Finals I fear no man or team ...

[DrHouse]

There is no greater sign that your team is on top than seeing how hated they are around the league. The fact that THIS Laker team can generate so much hate is a good sign to me. Shows me the Lakeshow is back on top again.

Enjoy the offseason Spur fans :toast!

[holcs50]

Exactly. Its not that Im a huge cavs fan, cuz im not, though I do like how lebron carries himself and don't mind any of the players on their team. Unlike the fakers-specifically kobe and phil who I kind of hate with a passion....yep i do. So for me it's whoever plays the lakes ill be rooting for (against all my stupid socal friends who love the lakes), and the teams with the best chances are the Nuggets and Cavs. BTW Houston will get swept if they beat portland. No doubt, swept! I'm hoping portland can come back somehow because they give the lakes a lot more problems than houston.

[Borosai]

You have to win it all before really being on top again, right? But they're close.

[VaSpursFan]

i'm on board. hoping for a cavs/nuggets final with cavs taking it.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs fan rooting for the Lakers ---> Benedict Arnold forum

[ElNono]

Protecting the Spurs' legacy doesn't end with their season ending . . .

I'm sorry, but at the end of the day, I couldn't care less if some people decide to hate on our team and it's legacy. I'm actually very thankful to have been a contemporary to this Spurs team, and be able to say I've seen them play.
Nobody is taking that away from me, Kobe, Lebron, Lakers, John Barry or whoever else.

[phyzik]

I'm very surprised to see Spurs support for the Cavs. That being said, I wouldn't expect you to support the Lakers, Mavs, or Celtics so I guess it pretty much defaults to them.

Its like this....

Mavs (from the fans on up to the ownership) are a bunch of fucking douche bags that dont know how to win gracefully. The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner.

The Lakers, and especially their fans, are a bunch of self-entitled pricks, but definately not near as bad as the Mavericks in recent years. They still suck major fucking dick for their collusion bullshit trade.

The Celtics have Kevin "Anything is possible because I'm a fucking asshole" Garnett who is probably a bigger fucking assinine Douche Monger than any 4 players combined from either the Mavs or the Lakers.

So the only logical choice is the Cavs.

P.S. I dont know why but JJ Barea realy bothers the shit out of me. I like his game alot, Mavs got a good pick with him! There is just something about his personality or looks that makes me want to fucking kick his teeth in. I swear on my mother and fathers graves its not because he torched the Spurs.... Honestly.... there is just something about him that makes me enraged and want to beat the living shit out of him. It pisses me off because I cant actually figure out why. The only thing I can come up with is that he acts like a fucking Wigger but Im still not sure if thats it or not. :lol

[E20]

Another reason: George Gervin was in this commercial:

NeLaCjNRlyA


Damn those shoes sucked and Lebron looks hella young.

Also lol @ Jerry West being the only white guy there.

[tp2021]

Go Nuggets. The west has not yet been won.

[whottt]

Nothing short of playing against Karl Malone would make me root for the Rockets.

Asterisks die hard. I have rooted against the Lakers for the entire Phil/Kobe/Shaq era and I don't see any reasons to stop now. I just can't root for those guys. They suck worse than anyone else.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Fuck that. And fuck the East.

Kobe and the Western Conference for the win.

[gameFACE]

Cavs all the way. And don't forget Hank Egan is up there with Brown and Ferry's Spurs blood. LeBron over Kobe anyday.

And for only a few games - go nuggets.

[daslicer]

I definitely will pull for the cavs. I have always like Lebron's game and the way he handles himself on the court despite all the hype he has gotten. The cavs winning creates an opportunity for the destruction of Kobe's legacy, along with a serious mind fuck ala mav's 07 from which the Lakers won't ever recover from. Plus I love a trainwreck would love to see doom and gloom all over Lakernation.

[Mel_13]

The Cavs are the best bet to prevent Boston or the Lakers from winning, so I'm on board. I'm not sure I could even watch another Laker-Celtics Finals, since one of them would have to win. In that case, I would consider a Laker win ever so slightly less objectionable than seeing KG and Allen go back-to-back

[Allanon]

Well here's a hypothetical question.

If for some reason the Celtics make it to the Finals, and you were still watching the Finals, would you guys root for KG to get his B2B ring?

[whottt]

Well here's a hypothetical question.

If for some reason the Cavs get knocked out before the Finals and the Celtics make it, and you were still watching the Finals, would you guys root for KG to get his B2B ring?

If it's against LA, Dallas or Houston, absolutely.

Against anyone else, probably not. It's not the title that's impotant really, they've already got more than anyone else and that wouldn't change if they won...it's all about who they get it against.

[timvp]

Well here's a hypothetical question.

If for some reason the Cavs get knocked out before the Finals and the Celtics make it, and you were still watching the Finals, would you guys root for KG to get his B2B ring?

KG wouldn't be playing. So yeah I'd root for the Celtics to prove KG is overrated and that they can win with him or without him.

But that's not going to happen. The Cavs are going to destroy the Celtics.

[whottt]

KG wouldn't be playing. So yeah I'd root for the Celtics to prove KG is overrated and that they can win with him or without him.

But that's not going to happen. The Cavs are going to destroy the Celtics.



Well I don't think they can without him really, but I think it's already been established he needed A LOT of help to win one. Ray Allen, Paul Pierce...and hell, Rondo may already be the best player on that team.

The way I look at it, KG missing the playoffs 2 or 3 years in a row pretty much removes all doubt that KG wasn't really a team carrier.

[Allanon]

If it's against LA, Dallas or Houston, absolutely.

Against anyone else, probably not. It's not the title that's impotant really, they've already got more than anyone else and that wouldn't change if they won...it's all about who they get it against.

I see FTL runs deep.

Personally, I'd hate for the KG/Duncan comparisons to include a B2B ring for KG, as something Duncan couldn't do.

And I think if it's the Finals, KG will be back for them.

[crc21209]

The Celtics are struggling mightily with the Bulls...what makes anyone think they can beat the Cavs? NOT gonna happen...

Well there are two ways of looking at that...

#1. If not for the Lakers, Tim Duncan might have that elusive repeat, in fact he might have two of them.

#2. He pretty much the consensus choice as the greatest PF of all time by anyone considered an authority on the game while KG is the guy that couldn't get out of the first round for 8 years, then finally did(with help) and choked, then missed the playoffs 2 or 3 years in a row, then got traded to a team with at least two other HOF'ers on it and an assload of financial resources....

I mean c'mon, do you seriously think Tim Duncan and KG are equals? Whose career would you have rather had?

I just don't see that as being a problem comparison...


KG is the cool one...or whatever.

Duncan is the greatest PF of all time.


KG's team winning a first round series without him will say more about him than repeating will.

[sexinthatsx]

Its like this....

Mavs (from the fans on up to the ownership) are a bunch of fucking douche bags that dont know how to win gracefully. The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner.

The Lakers, and especially their fans, are a bunch of self-entitled pricks, but definately not near as bad as the Mavericks in recent years. They still suck major fucking dick for their collusion bullshit trade.

The Celtics have Kevin "Anything is possible because I'm a fucking asshole" Garnett who is probably a bigger fucking assinine Douche Monger than any 4 players combined from either the Mavs or the Lakers.

So the only logical choice is the Cavs.

P.S. I dont know why but JJ Barea realy bothers the shit out of me. I like his game alot, Mavs got a good pick with him! There is just something about his personality or looks that makes me want to fucking kick his teeth in. I swear on my mother and fathers graves its not because he torched the Spurs.... Honestly.... there is just something about him that makes me enraged and want to beat the living shit out of him. It pisses me off because I cant actually figure out why. The only thing I can come up with is that he acts like a fucking Wigger but Im still not sure if thats it or not. :lol

And I thought I was known for being a hater... You got everything down besides maverick fans, laker fans are WAY WORSE, believe me. The thing about J.J. Barea that pisses me off is everytime he scores the cameras focus on his face and he gives off this look like he's constipated with his mouthguarrd hanging out of his mouth grinning like he's got gold teeth and squints his eyes. Maybe that's what you're referring to...


And as for who I am going to be cheering for, any team except for the MF Lakers. I fucking hate them with a passion, every single player, the coach, everybody.

[whottt]

I see FTL runs deep.

Just to put this whole KG repeat thing into perspective...


Rajon Rondo is averaging a triple double through the first 5 games of this series...

24 ppg
10 rbg
10 apg

He's also tossing in over 3 spg

And shooting over 50% from the field...

And from 3...

I think that's a Celtics topic much more noteworthy than anything KG has done yet in his career...or will ever do.

[Bukefal]

Go Cavs! :toast

[lebomb]

Im in for the Cavaliers!!! :hat

[Nobody]

I'm on the CAVS bandwagon

[1Parker1]

Right now, I cannot stand the Celtics...everytime they pan out to KG on the sidelines making that scrunchy tough man face, I want to throw something! :pctoss. So yea, I'm on board to the Cav Express.

Out of all the superstars in the league, Lebron is probably the easiest to cheer for. He doesn't come with the attitude and selfishness of Kobe, he doesn't come with the referee and drama queen exageration like DWade, and his teammates actually seem to enjoy playing with him. :tu

I want Cleveland but they are at least 1 year away from a title. The lakers will win this year.

[MateoNeygro]

Fuck Dallas and Houston I could give a shit less if they are from Texas. Anybody but the Lakers though. Even Dallas or Houston.

[MateoNeygro]

I'm on the Cavs bandwagon for now, but people who say it's because they are basically like the Spurs because they have an old assistant coach(Mike Brown) and Danny Ferry. That's kind of a dumb cop out to make themselves feel better. I couldn't agree less, but I don't mind the Cavs so I'mma root for them.

[Kamnik]

I cheer for Houston and Miami finals...

Fuck the Cavs, fuck the Lakers and fuck pretty much everyone else! ;)

[Jace]

I cannot stand Lebron so I won't be rooting for him or the Cavs

[Brazil]

Go everybody except mavs, lakers and celts

[BlackBellamy]

Let's judge the merits of cheering for the Cavs not by supporting the team itself, but let's think about the poor bastards of Ohio. When was the last title win for a professional franchise in that state? How's their manufacturing economy going? How's the weather there? How's the food/tourism/nightlife? With the rest of the league re-tooling when will their next chance come? How much do you (as a Spurs fan or otherwise) dislike the Lakers? And one might feel a little bad (as a Spurs fan) for busting up the last Cleveland run with such sweeping dominance. Oh, and let's not forget the famous M.J. shot, which might be the most recognizable Cavs scene of their whole existence as a franchise (a heartbreaking losing effort). All things considered, their has been no joy in Cleveland for decades. Punch my ticket, I'll take this train. Woo-woooo!

[benefactor]

I still have roots in Houston so that is who I am with until they are eliminated. After that I am hitched up to the Cavs bandwagon. I would rather dig out my intestines with a spoon before rooting for the Lakers.

[NFGIII]

I'm in with the Cavs. Looks like the Celtics don't have the guns this year without KG and all I see being real contenders are the Lakers and the Cavs. Nuggets have to prove they can do it first before I will admit to them being in that category. Same goes for the Magic IMO.

So it's San Antonio North for me with Brown and Ferry and I think there are a few others but don't remember their names.

[BlackBellamy]

No way. I am staying on the U S S Magic. :)

Give people room on that ship. The elbows seem devastating. I personally have an ethical problem with cheering for any team from Florida (home to Disneyworld, hurricanes (actual ones), boy-bands, red tide, horrible pop-punk emo, alligators, white trash north/ old people to the South, swampland, sickening shows of flaunting cash, south beach diet, Jeb Bush, entitled bitchy nationals, shirts with no sleeves, truly odd criminals, mosquitoes that I'm convinced carry plagues, the Karankawa indians (who had red hair and ate people according to a social studies paper that I had to write when I was eight), spring break debauchery, my bubbe, Vanilla Ice lied about being from there, sh*tty election officials, shark bites and the state is shaped like a phallus). Gives me terror shivers just thinking about visiting. Nuff' said, I think.

[Flux451]

There is no greater sign that your team is on top than seeing how hated they are around the league. The fact that THIS Laker team can generate so much hate is a good sign to me. Shows me the Lakeshow is back on top again.

Enjoy the offseason Spur fans :toast!

That means you hold our site high. You say around the league but you are obvious retorting to the hate on this thread. This is only a small demograph and you come up with that assumption. THanks.

By the way WE HATE THE LAKERS EVEN IF THEY WERE IN LAST PLACE. FTL!!!

GO NUGGETS!

[SpursFanFirst]

I'm rooting against the Celtics, Lakers, and team LeBron.

Go everyone else!! :cheer

[SpursFanFirst]

The key is to root for a team that has a chance. :lmao @ rooting for teams like the Mavs, Rockets or Bulls. They don't stand a chance. It looks like it'll be either the Lakers, Cavs or maaaaaaybe the Nuggets if they stay extremely hot.

But the Lakers are the Lakers and the Nuggets have tried to kill Manu too often for me to root for them. That leaves the Cavs who happen to be built in the Spurs' image.

Easy choice.

I'll go with that one. I have thought they would win it all this year from about the middle of the season on. Two of the best things to happen to them were 1) us beating them so bad in the finals in 07, and 2) bringing in x-Spurs for coach and gm. Lebron is a beast....the league has never seen anything like him, and he's hungry.

I remember in the Finals, Spurs vs. Cavs, Bruce "maybe" could have been called for a foul on LeBron. Instead of whining about it, like Ray Allen or others would have, LeBron said no, he wasn't fouled, he had a clear look at the basket. I liked him ever since, so I am aboard.

And really, it's good for their city.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

haven't posted in here for some time but yes, cavs all the way. I don't think any teams can stop Lebron right now, he seems to be at the top of his game at the moment and has a better team around than in previous years.

Keep up the good work on the site as always.

The Cavs are actually root-worthy. Mike Brown . . . Danny Ferry . . . one superstar and a bunch of complementary parts playing defense first and unselfishly.

Then you have the alternatives:
1. Mark Cuban
2. Phil Jackson and Kobe
3. The Boston Focking Celtics
4. Carl Herrera for Luis Scola
5. Hedo "I won't move my feet to catch that pass" Turkoglu
6. Mark Focking Cuban
7. The Suns . . . oh, wait . . .
8. Atlanta??? Their own fans don't root for them.
9. Bernie Lincicome

WHo da fuck, shoots a step back 3, jump shot! swish at the buzzer to end the half, in a playoff game.

Lebron James is that dude.

Same guy who blinks past a defender and then drops a compact slam reverse...and delivers a Pin point, no look, dime! through 2 defenders,
to his man Varejo, who only had to hold his hands up and the rock was there.

Have to give Mo Williams shine too for that no look alley with a silly face expression. These guys are playing some sort of fun basketball.


After the Cavaliers game 2 joyful lark against the Hawks, take me to the station! Give me that boarding ticket, get the champagne ready, upgrade me to first, put me by the window so I can enjoy the view, and if you would be so kind, sit a few young lovely ladies next to me, and if need be there's room on my lap.

Kobe and Lebron are polarizing figures and at this point I'd say more people would rather have 'Bron win one.

It's hard to do much when your two guards are 6-3 and 6-2, your "big men" are all old, slow, and not really very big, you don't have any swingmen besides James who can shoot at all and when your 2nd best player is Mo Williams.

No team has ever won a ring when their 2nd banana was just as good as Mo Williams is. He was the 2nd best player in Milwaukee too and they couldn't get out of the 1st round.

Yea cavs are really a bad team.
They season record showed it :rolleyes

This team had everything it needed to take the title to Cleveland, but it ocured that Mike Brown have no invension when it comes to the offense. Pop used to be the same.
Brown had nothing in offesnive arsenal but LeBron on the top of a key. There is no team offense, they only got what LeBron could give nad James prooduction was outstanding. But there is something more to an incredible basketball player. And you either Russell or Wilt in terms of winning.

[polandprzem]

Shit, their D this series was not great as well.

[mytespurs]

I feel for LeBron & the Cavs. They work hard to get the best record, HCA throughout and their season ends in Orlando.

I know that Cleveland will be working hard this offseason to surround LeBron w/the right kind of talent to compete and win a championship. Despite LB haterion by some, I like him and I hope he does win a championship or two or three......as that saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will the Cavs. It took Jordan how many years before he won the first of his many championships and became a legend. :king

Not ONE defensive adjustment the whole series to the magic.

Not one.

[roycrikside]

Not ONE defensive adjustment the whole series to the magic.

Not one.

I doubt you're enough of a basketball authority to know that. To me it looked like they made some adjustments in Game 3, didn't allow quite so many threes, but abandoned them after they lost the game. Unfortunately what Brown didn't realize is that defensively Cleveland did more than enough to win Game 3, but that was their worst offensive day in the series.

I'm not sure what you wanted Mike Brown to do defensively. None of his players match up physically with Orlando's three best guys. Even saying, "Well LeBron can guard Hedo" is over-simplistic because all Turkoglu needs is a screen to get past him and deal with a big on a switch. The Magic had mismatches all over the place.

As for offense, I agree Mike Brown is a terrible offensive coach, but it's a little late in the game to change the offense. This is the way the Cavs played the whole year and it worked for them. Me, I would've given Mo Williams more responsibility to run the offense, like he did with the Bucks. Here he's basically a catch and shoot guy, which isn't his game. Cleveland's biggest problem is that no one is a threat to score in the paint besides James and none of their bench guys can shoot consistently, at all. They really didn't have an answer for Pietrus.
