Tough call for Giuseppe...

[Magua]

You have the gayest names for game threads

[pass1st]

You have the gayest names for game threads

I'd say the same to you, but I came to the conclusion your troll account was to be a closet homophobic.

[LkrFan]

McBob is playing tonight. I want to see him and Bynum in the game at the same time defensively.

[InRareForm]

Down goes bynum!

[pass1st]

I hope Kobe is done with this 40+ ppg spree

[InRareForm]

ok premature bynum injury claim. he is fine.

[pass1st]

Wow, another lob fail, go figure

[InRareForm]

Kobe tried to throw a lob and failed lol.

NOT LOB CITY

[pass1st]

wow nice move bynum

[KidCongo]

Shit thread name, hot start too the game but.

[ElNono]

sup

[ElNono]

I just remembered how much I hate sideshow bob

[LkrFan]

I like Morris' game. He's a rook, but he's sparked the Lakers so far.

[InRareForm]

i smell an upset. I think a Laker letdown is happening tonight. casppi with 25 tonight

[Jodelo]

Kobe on a 4-0 break and just goes up all by himself, wow... Could have been a nice alleyoop to McRoberts if a guy had the ball in his hands who likes to pass but it was Kobe...

[ElNono]

I thought the Lakers D improved this year...I guess it's no problem to make it a shootout with the Cavs

[Killakobe81]

Nice to see the return of Pau's jumper.

[pass1st]

Shit thread name, hot start too the game but.

We will be fine. Brown will get them to clamp down. Got to save our intensity for tomorrow's game.

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Dan Gilbert

Majority Owner

Cleveland Cavaliers

[Killakobe81]

I hope Kobe is done with this 40+ ppg spree

I do want him to dial back a bit, but as long as we win I dont care how many he scores or doesn't.

[Killakobe81]

Brown is a smart cookie, I have been asking him to play Pau with the 2nd unit ...tonight he finally sees what I have been seeing.

[KidCongo]

Pau can shoot that ball fuck!

[ElNono]

Pau can shoot that ball fuck!

You don't expect to win, right? :lol

[KidCongo]

You don't expect to win, right? :lol

Why not? I am a fan.

[ElNono]

Why not? I am a fan.

Not asking if you're a fan, tbh :lol

[pass1st]

Nice pass from fish

[pass1st]

lol kobe trying to pass to himself again

[KidCongo]

Not asking if you're a fan, tbh :lol

The Cavs are playing one of the premier teams in the league, only get to play against the Lakers @ staples once a year, i expect a win and a good game.

tbh I'd have used the letter in a Cavs Heat thread

[Jelloisjigglin]

lol, seems like Kobe can throw up any junk now and it'll go in.

[ElNono]

white trash barnes and1

[Jelloisjigglin]

white trash barnes and1

lol Barnes with the tech

[ElNono]

barnes giving back :cry

[ElNono]

Eva likes Nr 9s...

[ElNono]

:lol Cavs

[ElNono]

getting chippy out there

[Jelloisjigglin]

lol, seems like Kobe can throw up any junk now and it'll go in.

[pass1st]

Kobe going to get 40+ again, he's being efficient. At least he's not bricking, I guess

[KidCongo]

Kobe dialled in, come on Kyrie pick your game up

[ElNono]

playing volleyball in the Cavs' basket

[pass1st]

lol cavs

[KidCongo]

wow Jamison you can not be any more shit

[ElNono]

good D in that 2nd quarter, although you can't discount the Cavs being just terrible at the basket

[KidCongo]

We go as Jamison goes, Scott loves over playing him.

[Killakobe81]

good D in that 2nd quarter, although you can't discount the Cavs being just terrible at the basket

We are improved on Defense. We just are slow in transition. In the half-court we are one of the best. but we give up too many fast-break points.Mostly due to turnovers ...we are not fast enough to recover like the Bulls or the Heat.

[pass1st]

Irving makes us look slow

[pass1st]

Start Pau as PG tbh

[Jelloisjigglin]

Barnes ballin'

[KidCongo]

Dam Mike Brown still screams his head off.

[Killakobe81]

Irving, Thompson and Verejao are a good core.

[jmill]

Kobe going to get 40+ again, he's being efficient. At least he's not bricking, I guess



Granted I only lurk here occasionally, but the few times I've seen your posts on here you seem pretty negative towards Kobe. He absolutely can chuck too much at times and hurt the team, but he's a very efficient and really good player overall.

Also, the fact that he's as good as he is in his 16th year in the league is absurd. It's not normal for guys to play at this high of a level at this stage of their careers.

I never knock Kobe, really, but I'll criticize him for shooting out of games we would otherwise win. He's terribly inefficient behind the arc this year, but continues to try 5+ shots a game.

[jmill]

He's been brutal from 3 this year, but he hasn't shot below 32% from three for a full season in 10 years so some of that is obviously variance, as it's only been 12 games. He has been trending downwards a little the last few years in that category though, so it is something to keep an eye on.

[jmill]

That being said, dude is clearly gunning for 40 points tonight.

[pass1st]

Going down with age is redundant to me criticizing him for doing more than he knows he can do sometimes. He should also cut it with the 40+ games because he doesn't have the gas in the tank to continue it the entire season + playoffs.

[ElNono]

Of course he's going for 40 tonight... it's the Washington Generals...

[pass1st]

Don't get a T Kobe

[ElNono]

bavetta should just retire, tbh

[pass1st]

well shit, cavs are a .500 team right now. what a shocker

[ElNono]

i never understood his thing for sticking around... he could be sipping margaritas in Hawaii for whatever is left of his life...

[ElNono]

well shit, cavs are a .500 team right now. what a shocker

they're not better than Boston or Milwaukee though...

[KidCongo]

Cavs aren't the worst team in the east. Cavs>Wizards, Nets, Bobcats, Pistons

[jmill]

Bringing that three point % up :fro

[pass1st]

Morris is a good passer tbh

[KidCongo]

No where near as bad as a year ago and much better to watch. No-one's crying about LeBron leaving like they did this time last year.

[ElNono]

Cavs aren't the worst team in the east. Cavs>Wizards, Nets, Bobcats, Pistons

agree

[ElNono]

pau missing what he normally makes

[Killakobe81]

pau missing what he normally makes

this ...

[Banzai]

Choke on the way??

[pass1st]

4 weeks without blake, morris getting his minutes then

[ElNono]

no way Lakeshow choke this at home

[ElNono]

(no jinx)

[pass1st]

lol, this team blows leads every game

[ElNono]

no luke walton today?

[JoeTait75]

Of course he's going for 40 tonight... it's the Washington Generals...

Nah, the Cavaliers aren't that bad. I mean, they're bad. But they're just garden-variety bad, nothing special.

[pass1st]

Lol, we're getting outrebounded

[pass1st]

seriously? rofl

[ElNono]

sloppy ball... both teams

[ElNono]

4 point from the Lakers bench? I gather World Peace sucked?

[KidCongo]

Lakers were hustling all that 2nd quarter, with Jamison on the bench TT can chase every loose ball and the ball is ending up in Cleveland's hands.

[pass1st]

Nice pass, Kobe

[ElNono]

Where's Lebron to close this thing? :cry

Oh wait... Lebron closing games :lmao

[KidCongo]

Sessions forcing it, you're not Kyrie!!

[Jelloisjigglin]

No easy games for this Laker squad. Just too sloppy on O.

[KidCongo]

Too many offensive fouls being called.

[Banzai]

Ya..

[pass1st]

4 point from the Lakers bench? I gather World Peace sucked?

no minutes

[KidCongo]

Scott is going to get them to run screens all next practice. This is digusting.

[ElNono]

no minutes

really? is he hurt?

[jmill]

Kobe pressing a little right now, 3 was a decent look though

[pass1st]

really? is he hurt?

not that I know

[ElNono]

Cavs reverting into Cavs mode...

[Jelloisjigglin]

Kobe doing everything he can to get to 40

[ElNono]

I feel bad for Giuseppe... his Cavs competed tonight

[KidCongo]

That's my move Kobe.

[jmill]

Kobe doing everything he can to get to 40

Indeed. Mostly good looks though, the floater where he had like 3 guys around him him was the only one I really didn't like.

[Jelloisjigglin]

Irving with the goods

[ElNono]

ok, that was a chuck :lol

[pass1st]

offensive foul ignored, refs in our pockets tonight

[ElNono]

2:24 mins to focus on winning the game now :lol

[jmill]

Okay Kobe, you can breathe now.

[jmill]

2:24 mins to focus on winning the game now :lol

lol, so true

[ElNono]

that was offensive on floppy... cleared with the left arm

[pass1st]

Bynum playing good D

[KidCongo]

Damn Irving has been impressive this 2nd half. Jazz commentators loved him, now the Lakers guys are.

Kobe going for MVP and scoring champ?? It's sick to watch.

[ElNono]

Casspi doesn't close games for the Cavs?

[pass1st]

Lakers running away with the lead, Cavs being Cavs

[Jelloisjigglin]

Game.

[KidCongo]

WTF?? yeah Andy get those calls, these refs are horrible. Blind as!

[KidCongo]

Casspi doesn't close games for the Cavs?

Usually it's Gee. Casspi has played pretty bad. He doesn't deserve those minutes and is lucky he gets the start.

Can't create off dribble and misses open shots. He may still have a lingering injury even though he said he got healthy over the lockout.

[NewcastleKEG]

Why Kobe no pass ball ?

[pass1st]

Come on Cavs, you arent winning this.

[pass1st]

Kobe with the unnecessary hustle

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Kobe is 15-31???..what the fuck?..

He's going to be dead by next month, tbh..

[007nites]

Why Kobe no pass ball ?

He's stat padding like a muthafucka right now

[pass1st]

Lol, cavs making all their 3s

[ElNono]

:lol Kobe is 15-31???..what the fuck?..

He's going to be dead by next month, tbh..

Drew 9 shots :lol

[Killakobe81]

a win ...

[pass1st]

good game

[ElNono]

gg Cavs

[LakerHater]

Confetti & streamers??

[Banzai]

Sloppy win..but since it's my
Birthday I'll take it!!

[KidCongo]

Bugger. Was good to see Irving attack the hoop in the 2nd half and Jamison brick every jumper he takes.

[Giuseppe]

Shaved pussy.

[KidCongo]

GG Lakers ha
