So, why is Kyrie better?

Cuz he's on the Cavs. Duh!

Cuz he's on the Cavs. Duh!

Cavs have James, then according to Wiggy, the best PG in the East, a C better than Whitside, a top 10-15 player in Love, a deep bench..., but yet he won't bet anyone that they will win the Finals.

Why is that?

Kyrie owns Wall. you know it. i know it. anyone that watches the game knows it. not only that- but Kyrie's contract is one fo the great steals in the NBA...he makes like 16-18M for the next 5 years...its amazing

him and LeBron will do great things here together and eventually both wear Cavs hats at their Springfield initiations.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Wiggy gonna Wiggy.

what odds do the Cavs have to win it all right now? like 5-2 or something? Why in Gods name would i make a bet unless i can get the odds that the public gets?

Too bad they likely won't have any more rings than they currently do.

If you're truly as confident in your Cavs chances as you claim, you'd accept a bet. If I were as confident in the Lakers chances to win 30 games as you are that the Cavs will win the title, I'd have taken any of those bets back when they were being offered.

Basically, if you are so confident in the Cavs, take the bets that are offered or stfu about how great they are.

Because people who truly believe in their team do that.
Heat fans took 'field' bets because we believed we would win.
We're not talking cash, like in Vegas
Don't be so dramatic

i KNOW the Cavs will make it out of the East- and I without a doubt feel that if Kyrie/Love/ and LeBron are playing in the Finals- not even totally healthy- just healthy enough to play- they will win it.

GSW, OKC, SAS and the Cavs are the only teams that I think have a realistic shot at winning a Finals game this year.

I 100% know it will be a great series if the Cavs face any one of those teams- but like I said- if healthy- I think the Cavs beat them all

how dumb would it have been to make that bet *last year at this point only to get to the Finals and have no Varejao, Love, and Kyrie for one (albeit a good one) game?

obviously they can withstand pretty much anything short of lebron losing a foot in order to beat up on the rest of the LEastern Conference.

If James NEVER wins as a Cav, you don't think he enters as a Heat?

 

[WiggyRuss]

i would love if they could get home court- but thats prob not gonna happen if they face the Warriors-- might happen if they face the Spurs and probably would happen if they face the Thunder.

With Love, Kyrie and LeBron all together the Cavs are pretty much unbeatable on their home floor. I probably expect them to lose 2 maybe 3 games to GET to the Finals...after that--- who knows...we shall see

once we get to that point- and if the Cavs are healthy- i would be OVERJOYED to make a Finals bet.

Because we have no idea if any injuries will occur to player(s) on those teams...PLUS, you have said that Love/Kyrie aren't injury prone..so why worry about it?

Varejao isn't a big deal anymore healthy or not.

no chance

hes gonna likely play 12 years in Cleveland and had what? 4 in Miami? 3 MVPs in Cleveland right? or is it 2 and 2?

I think he wants to add a 5th and put him in rarified air but with Currys numbers that will be tough THIS year anyway.

2/2 as far as MVP
But 2-0 as far as titles and Finals MVP

I agree he'd prob go as a Cav, but his best years as a player occurred here.

Since it's clear that you don't have the confidence in your team that you claim to and therefore, won't be taking any bets, I trust that you have have chosen the stfu option.

It's an interesting question. He's an Ohio native, started and will likely end his career in Cleveland, but won his 2 titles in Miami.

I think he ends up going in as a Cav though. Too much history with them.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Wall is definitely the better PG lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Celtics and Bulls in an uuuuuugly game right now. The refs need to check the ball, I think it might be warped.

 

[bksballer89]

Wall is definitely the better PG lol

We are talking about Wiggy here

 

[bksballer89]

It is never a good sign when you're just 27 years old and the commentator say "that is vintage Derrick Rose"
