Cavs: James: "Underdog? Me? Never"

[Infinite_limit]

Well you are actually a 72% underdog

James setting himself up for another massive failure

[UZER]

Please. It's classic LeBron double speak. First he talks about how exhausted he is playing through the hawks series, injuries, wanting to come out of games but fighting through, blah blah blah. Once that's on record, now he plays the other side.

And they'll/James/Media will use the injury card (Himself, Love, Irving, + they'll even surface Varejao in the plan) at the start, prepping the battle field should he lose. They'll finish it off with a scorching rebuke of Blatt.

I was listening to the new commish yesterday and they mentioned how Lebron is lobbying for a shorter season and are they considering it.

Silver: No!!!

I'm guessing they'll blame the long season... and maybe Kobe... and too much attention on the Lakers getting the second pick. Not the first, but the second...

No way Silver is considering it, his job is to make the owners more money, not less. I wouldn't mind seeing the season spread over another 2 weeks or so though to cut down on back to backs, and it would make the league more money since that's more opportunity for national TV games.

He's the best player on the floor, but the next 4 best players belong to the Warriors.

This. The only way they would consider it is if it would mean more money for owners.

I heard Robert Sarver say in an interview that every home playoff game brings in close to 1 million in revenue. You can understand why the extended the length of the first round series form 5 to 7 games.

Oh yeah...a real knee slapper

Damn your eyes, Ooze!!!

tee, hee.

[ducks]

Lol the cry baby about the games could you imagine if he played west and had west playoff schedule

[RsxPiimp]

He should embrace the underdog role. If Cavs pulls an upset, they'll catapult him into a GOD like status.

They should do away with pre-season... problem solved.

I hate this

"Huh? Underdog? Me?" James responded. When the questioner said "I don't think you are," James retorted, "I don't either."
"I would never be an underdog," James said. "I think we have a great chance. That's what we're here for."
