Ok so last year all fans were delusional for thinking celts or Cavs could of beaten the Lakers ...dumb logic ..
One and done champion teams like the Blazers or Heat no dyck about defending a le regular season means crap ...no ROx fan can tell you regular season meant squat when they repeated ...
Whatever it was, there is no need to spell complete doom if the Lakers drop this one. Makes no sense at all to discredit the defending champions. It will, however, play big in the role of HCA and all that, but the Cavs had that last year and it didn't do them any good. While I have faith that the Lakers will come out victorious, I won't drown myself in the rainstorm plagued L.A. River if we don't. Nor should LeBron and Co. start popping the Rosay after such a win.
Well said ...
are you new here?
This is not the same Cavs team as last year. They've got Shaq now. Shaq's singular mission this year is to get his 5th ring before Kobe gets his. Believe that.
Big and they will probably lose.
Im actually pissed that the regular season reggie miller, Mo Williams willl be sitting out..LA will just let a player like bobbie gibson go off for like 30 now damnit.
Oooh a Shaq that isn't even the same guy who assisted in Dwyane Wade's le run is going to be the integral part on winning Cleveland's first championship? Let's see how that works out for the Cavs...I mean, he was SO integral to improving Phoenix, wasn't he? The key to the Cavs' chances winning are not reliant on Shaq's production, but merely the likes of Mo "I'm a regular season Killah" Williams, Delonte "El Mariachi with a side of Coleslaw" West, and Jamario/Anthony proving they are prime-time players. Also, how much can Mike Brown not up when facing superior coaching. Now those are the reasons that would give Cleveland fan optimism, not a once powerful s of a center named Shaq.
Scary stuff.
1977 was a long time ago
LOL at tlong all over the Cavs nuts.
I learned my lesson drinkin da Cavs kool aid last year.
I highly doubt they could beat the Lakers in a 7 game series... or a healthy Boston team... I think they beat Orlando this year though.
No the Cavs can beat LA in a 7 game series especially when they land Jamison. I am drinking all sorts of Cavs kool aid. This is their year to win the championship (and possibly even begin a dynasty) and I am now ok with that. I'd like to see their fans have glory. It has been tough for them, and I feel for them more than anything. I only hate Lebron because he isn't on my team. Him not shaking hands and what not isn't an issue for me anymore.
The Cavs are not taking down a fully healthy Laker squad that has HCA. I'm sorry I just don't see that happening.
I'm not even convinced they will take out Boston to be honest. And Orlando has always and will continue to give them problems. They are built to exploit the slow footed interior defenders that Cleveland has.
HCA in the Finals is overrated. HCA is important in the Conference playoffs. But the Finals, not so much. With the games being played 2-3-2, I give the advantage to the team without HCA. All they gotta do is win one of the first two. Then they are good to go. 3 in a row at home.
You forgot the Charlotte Bobcats...we owe them payback, son.
They'll never admit it, but this is a huge game for the Lakers. I'm pretty sure Cleveland would have beaten them last year if they had played in the Finals. And I know the Celtics would have.
LA was unbelievably fortunate last year that Ginobili was hurt, that Garnett was hurt, and that Cleveland got upset by Orlando. Everybody knows that Cleveland matches up better with LA than Orlando does.
Bottom line, the Lakers were healthy last year, and very few other teams were.
Yeah, 65-17 and going 4-0 against the Cavs and Celtics when both teams were mostly intact denotes that the Lakers were fortunate. There is no indication either way to say any of those teams would've beaten the Lakers. That's all speculative. You can say that about any year a team wins the championship. Stop with this nonsense because it's all in the past. You lose this argument because the Lakers were not fully healthy and even if Bynum isn't the star of the team, he was not at all 100% in the playoffs and anyone could notice that.

at this got spurfan saying the Cavs would have beaten LA in the finals last year. LA was a horrible match up for the Cavs last year.
whats the over/under on tlong not being seen for weeks if the lakers win?
Cavs’ Mo Williams out 1 month with shoulder injury
CLEVELAND (AP)—Cavaliers starting point guard Mo Williams(notes) will miss at least one month with a sprained left shoulder, a major blow to the Eastern Conference’s top team.
An MRI revealed the sprain and the Cavs said that Williams, who has played in 124 of a possible 125 games since joining Cleveland before last season, is projected to be out for the “next four to six weeks”—a timetable that could keep him out until the first week in March.

The game clearly demonstrated Shaq's value to the Cavs. The Lakers aren't able to dominate the paint against Cleveland. They have no advantage now. They're done.
