Official "I Hate The Cavs" Thread

[BUMP]

So true. If you ask me (and only me) how great of a team I am, I must say I think I really taught everyone else how to play like an uns fish team. Don't bother asking anyone else on the team though. It's not like anyone else matters without me. But of course I play like a team. That's why I get all those triple doubles. That's what great leaders do. And I'm a great leader and a great team. But I stay humble too. I let my teammates tag along for the ride and even let them do pre-game dances and handshakes with me. I let the fans join in on my powder throw. I'm such a great team. I play so great. That's what being a great team is all about, having me play great. Without me the team would just be t and a. And I get lots of t and a too because that's how I roll. Go ahead. Take my picture.

i have a feeling this is a BenJarvus troll

The LeCrab troll is terrible, not funny at all. I have a solid sense of humor, one of the best, but it's just painfully unfunny

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

You know, if you guys can just look past the hot-dogging, fake family photos and showmanship, you'd see that this team plays the right way. They play hard but clean. They don't take games off. They're unselfish- everyone knows their role and picks up everyone else. They're unified. They're a team in the true sense of the word.

You guys are too fixated on the sizzle to see the steak.

Veraflop doesn't play clean, he plays like a cheap-shot bush-league Euro .

And yes, they are obviously a great team given their record. Just because a player is an unselfish hard worker who knows his role it's not ok for that player to act like every shot he makes just won game 7 of the NBA finals.

[Thunder Dan]

I love trolls by the way, I have about 20 of them, but the LeCrab fails and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Cavs fan. I love a good troll no matter who it pokes fun at, but the LeCrab is just not funny on any level

[LeCrab]

Surprise surprise you're a hater.

Concrabulations.

that's slightly amusing. Probably your best work. You still need some seasoning though.

Good trolls don't post very often. They come in with a solid post once in awhile but don't become regulars. They do this so their stuff doesn't get stale. See, your problem is that you'll post like 5 things that totally suck, so when you actually post something good people miss it. The concept of LeCrab is somewhat amusing, but your turning into just a Lebron hater, rather than Lebron the crab.

I like the Cavs.

Touche. Varejao is a flopping , to be sure. But he's necessary. Every good team has a guy whose main job is to piss off the opposition. Bowen for the Spurs... Rick Fox for the three-peat Lake Show... Clark Kent Rambis for Showtime, etc.

As far as the other stuff is concerned, the way I see it, if you're doing your job on the floor and playing hard, you're allowed to showboat a little bit. I've said all year I have no problem with the the Celtics pull- they're the champs, they've earned the right to swagger, and if you want to shut them up, you'd better beat them.

thats definitely the golden rule when it comes to trolls

I'm not concerned with troll protocol. Thanks for the troll tips but perhaps your problem as a troll is that you actually care how you're perceived as a troll. My golden rule as a troll is I don't give a what you think of me as a troll. It's the playoffs and that's why I'm posting daily. Sorry you got upset enough with a silly messageboard troll that you have to make multiple posts saying how unfunny the troll is. To me that's more of a sign of being effective.

I think you're hilarious. Well, maybe not hilarious. Funny. Amusing. Mildly amusing.

I don't think that's a good description of the extent to which the Cavs showboat.

One reason I've respected the Spurs over the years regardless of what they've done to the Suns is they don't showboat at all, and IMO if any one NBA player has earned the right to showboat it's Tim Duncan.

keep going...

he isn't that funny. Like if he posted as the actual Lebron/Crab that would be funny, now he is all out of character and he is no different than any of us.

[JamStone]

I don't like the Cavs but I don't hate them either. They're pounding the Pistons, but I can't hate on them because they're simply the better team. I don't mind the theatrics involved, the flexing, the posing, the pictures, the staring, the chest pounding. Most great teams have players that do that. And, almost every championship team in recent years had that same type of y at ude except for the San Antonio Spurs. Seriously, they're really the only championship team that was genuinely humble. Now there have been championship teams that say "the right things" to appear humble but are still y motha as. The Cavs have pretty much earned the right to act the way they act. Now if they get beat, that leaves themselves open to be ridiculed. But, until that happens, I don't have a problem with them acting the way they act.

The stuff about Lebron's ego isn't that funny (I still find it slightly humorous), but all the jokes about crab and crab related things are f'n hilarious, like when he told me to climb into the coral reef and die.

Staying in character is also very important when Trolling.

For example, if I'm posting as the IRS, it wouldn't be funny if I gave my breakdown of the Mavs/Spurs series. I would have to throw something in about doing your taxes.

this definitely has BenJarvus written all over it

[BUMP]

And b/c I am on your mind and you have to constantly mention me just shows how weak you and the other crybabies are on here. I am in your head. I've done my job.

hmmmmm

well technically if your "job" is to get in my head than i guess that means that i am always in your head

I swear I nearly choked when I read the bolded part. Showboat a little bit??????? They turn every routine layup into a goddamn Broadway production.

[Double-Up]

I love watching LeBron but hate watching the Cavs, I'd rather watch "Plastic Surgery: Facial Reconstruction" on the Discovery Channel.

isn't that the channel that also airs all the Rockets playoff games?

[dirk4mvp]

Mo Williams can go somewhere with the celebration he does if he's standing in front of the other team's bench. All's left is for him to do the generation x thing.

[lefty]

Lakers Fans always wanted the Spurs to win when the Spurs made it to the Finals. I guess we just wanted someone in the West to win. Unfortunately, its the opposite when the Lakers make the Finals.

Speak for yourself. I was rooting for King James.

Then you are really stupid

[BUMP]

i actually dont have a problem with it at all.

kinda like when TO imitated Ray Lewis' dance after a TD a few years back, Deion said "we shoulda kept him outta the endzone"

i played select basketball a lot when i was younger and i always ran into those teams that thought they were the and when they were blowing you out they would dance, showboat, laugh and all that . just kinda learn to deal with it if you dont like it you have to beat them
