You might wanna stop pissin in your OWN cheerios!

But sometimes he runs out of milk.

This is all I got:

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You need to drop this. It's complete bullshit, yet you keep repeating it over and over. It's possible to cheer for a player that you don't like simply because he's on your team.

I've never liked Kobe, he's never been my favorite player of even my favorite Lakers player. The only reason I cheered for him is that he played for the Lakers. Had he left the Lakers, I'd have cheered against him.

If Lebron joined the Lakers, I'd be the same as with Kobe. While he's a Laker, I'd cheer for him, as soon as he left, I'd start cheering against him. Most Heat fans didn't care for him before he joined the team, they cheered for him when he was in Miami because he was on their team and helped them win a couple of championships. Now that he's gone, they cheer against him again.

That certainly seems a lot more like true fan behavior than the ones who switch favorite teams every time Lebron does. Also, Miami fans didn't practically riot in the streets like Cavs fans and Miami's owner didn't write a letter bitching, crying, calling him names and making promises he couldn't keep. All things considered, I'd say Heat fans handled Lebron leaving a hell of a lot better than Cavs fans did.

Everyone that I know basically felt the same way.
Thanks for the 4 years, but good riddence if we have to deal with the drama EVERY summer.

the Cleveland Browns will be getting "one for the thumb" before LAD gets one for her ring finger. hehehe

You so desperately need to get some new material.

Shane didn't hate him because he became a Heat fan when Lebron left.

Of course he likes to call it casually riding another teams bus.

 

[The Derski]

It is one series and the Pistons were not equipped to match up.

Kyrie is phenomenally skilled, as talented as any player in the league, but his game lacks substance. I go back to the 3 hardenesque traits that make him difficult to play with:

Lack of defense
Holds the ball
Poor shot selection

Admittedly, the shot selection and defense were better in this series than I have seen in the past. If Cleveland commits to moving the ball and playing defense, hey might have a fighting chance in the Finals (especially if Curry is out). Still though, I think people are overreacting to success against a mediocre team.

I was purely just talking about their skill set and just overall the way they play. using my eyes, no stats. I've always felt they were very similar even a couple years ago. Since then obviously Curry has grown into a once in a lifetime player but I think most people can see where I'm coming from.

Yep and you are a Clippers fan See I can do it too

Cheer for two teams if it makes you feel better. You still aren't a true Warriors fans. Plain and simple

Maybe you've misunderstood- I don't need your permission or acceptance. You don't dictate my fandom.

I don't care. Just stating the facts, you aren't a true fan. End of subject.

 

[LAD]

Obviously you do care otherwise you would've moved on by now. And you can't state facts you know nothing about you Heat fan turned Cavs fan.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Dude, your screen name was Russy fast brook.

You misunderstand, as usual.

You are a Cavs fan FIRST, like she is a Lakers fan.

But, in the playoffs, you were a OKC fan.

Please don't make me rehash the " Hog Hunter" rant.

Yah but there is a difference between rooting and repping. You can root for certain teams, everyone does it, mainly bc of players you like but in the end your favorite team is only one you rep. Repping a second or third team and acting like you are a true fan of that team isn't being loyal to your team IMO I don't care how the other teams finish only my team, like every other true one team fan

exactly....i have no feelings of loyalty and am not invested in OKC's success- i just like watching RW and hope he does well....the fact htat some think that makes me LESS loyal to the CAvs is ridiculous....100% every single time they play id root for the Cavs. Some teams i REALLY dont like- like if OKC was playing Miami- im rooting for OKC everytime- but its not like i have any loyalty or tie to OKC.

Unlike some *cough* *cough* LAD who acts like the Warriors' success is part of her fandom even though she is supposedly a Lakers fan first. I just will not be happy until the Cavs win it. Plain and simple, no point in repping another team and taking the easy way out lol

You mean like 90% of the cavs fan base who mysteriously turned in to heat fans between 2010 and 2014?

Too funny how the only two here that have already been bust out for repping other teams on the DL but claiming to be die hard Cavs fans are now trying to justify why they root for more than one team- all while having something to say to others who are up front about liking more than one team.

To satisfy your attempt to ignore an obvious fact: gordontrue. He publicly admitted to switching sides multiple times as more of a lebron fan rather than a fan of a team. And there's nothing wrong with that.

But he is a Lebron fan, everyone knows that and always has been. So name this 90%? Looks like you are pulling numbers outta your ass to me
