@WiggyRuss
Fact or fiction, since you bring up predictions vs reality.
When Cavs signed Tristan many of us here pointed out that moving forward the Cavs would be very limited in adding quality pieces, even when the cap jumped, and that most other teams would?
Your response was, 'they have plenty ( listed the players) and said they wont need to add.
Well, LeBrons worst nightmare apparently happened.

Is Lebron's "Worst Nightmare" that they will sign some good players to (arguably) high contracts -- then they will win an NBA Championship but those contracts -- particularly TT -- will limit their ability to sign many more pieces or even really good players ?

I don't think that is his worst nightmare.

Who did the knicks get when they traded Hardaway Jr?

 

[larryjohn]

Damn, what did Chuck and Shaq say on TNT?
I missed it.

Why not post the entire post?
Convenient what you excluded lol.

You are allowed to think whatever you want.
My opinion is the Warriors adding Durant put James into the mindset that he is now a clear underdog.
His words and actions pretty much verify it to me.

Does that mean Cavs can't win?
Of course not.
But any current eye test IMO shows the results of the Warriors aren't losing 4/7.

lets just hope they have enough juice to be the 8th seed and dont gag it up at some point.

how fun would a Cavs/Heat series be? would be AWESOME! plus- they wouldnt get a lotto pick....best of both worlds in my point of view!

Yeah, let's hope for a series between a stacked all star team and team that will be lucky to grab the 8th seed. Wow, how brave. Kicked any puppies lately tough guy?

19 4th quarter for Timmy

He's on fire.

Guess you never read through the old threads here, along with lebron couldn't win without "Pat Riley"...That was the other one that was said often on here

Durant has only done what lebron did in leaving, he needs to now do the "winning" part

Uh, no. What was said was that Lebron couldn't win without stacking his team. Which is true. However, I don't criticize him for that because the only team I can think of that won a title and wasn't stacked to some degree or other was the Pistons.

23 4th quarter points. Great win for Atlanta

Typical Buckeye mentality.

They ejaculate under the bleachers if OSU is beating Kent State 68-3.

 

[trojanfan12]

Not true- I've always commented.

There's a difference between commenting & posting the proof you are claiming though. The 2 aren't the same.

Oh ffs, get a room you two.

Heat toughened em up last night.

“Everyone in the locker room has been really positive,” Korver said. “I know there’s a lot of noise on the outside, but you wouldn’t know that if you walk in the locker room. That’s what I’ve focused on. I feel like if they’re not panicking, I’m not going to panic. I’m the new guy. If they’re OK, I’m going to be OK too. That’s really what it’s felt like. My family or friends are worried about me, like, ‘Are you OK? There’s so much stuff being written.’ I’m like, 'It’s really fine. No one is that worried about it.'”

lol Ever hear of a "must lie situation?" The funny thing is, you probably believe Korver.

Sure does suck to root for a joke NBA team.

 

[trojanfan12]

I haven't given him a free pass on anything. I've said several times I'm not a LeBron fan. And I said earlier he shouldn't have gone public w/ his roster issues. Seriously you've had a nonstop issue w/ LeBron since I got to this site. It's all good though. But just stop pretending you're completely unbiased when talking about him.

Why the fuck do you care?

 

[bksballer89]

So the knicks traded Hardaway for the Hawks draft pick which ended up as Jerian Grant who is now with the Bulls. Can't make this up

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Who did the knicks get when they traded Hardaway Jr?

The New York Knicks have traded guard Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for the draft rights to guard Jerian Grant, the league announced.

[trojanfan12]

if you can have a caveat on it that when the Cavs get to the Finals they are healthy- sure.

What a pussy.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Sounds like they are playing at Oracle.

Bad enough we are the stepchild to the Lakers.

Going night, night...fuck this game.
