So how hard is it to get banned?

With few exceptions...very hard. There are 3 offenses that tend to bring a quick banhammer. Making an alt, spamming/promoting other websites (especially one's selling shit) and being an unentertaining troll.

If I really gave a shit I'd be calling people out on a daily basis & saying stupid shit defending LeBron like wiggy does.

Uh, you do call people out on a daily basis.

Man this week is going better than I thought.

If Miami win their next 2 games this week vs NYK and DEN then I will be almost set to pencil them in. That would be 39 wins.

To address the last point - the Heat with their big 3 run was a bit of a disappointment in my eyes. Was it a failure? No. But we didn't realize our full potential - and it all boils down to a missed opportunity in 2011. In 2014 I was able to accept that the Spurs were just flat out better. But when you have Lebron and 2 other all-stars in a relatively weak conference and are in the Finals every year, winning at .500 or less is a disappointment considering the advantage of having an easier road.

Agree. Anytime you get a title, you can't call it a failure. Even if the Cavs don't win another title (I don't think they will), Lebron's return can't be called a failure, imo.

However, there are varying degrees of success and it certainly wouldn't be considered as successful as his time in Miami because he'll have won fewer rings despite a longer period of time to win them.

Lebron's losses in Miami were bad. I don't need to dive into 2011 because that one's a given.

In 2014, we got annihilated by the Spurs. You didn't see this Hurculean effort from Lebron like we saw in his last 2 Finals against the Warriors. Lebron seemed satisfied knowing that he was pulling his weight and that he had no help - IMO he was already mentally checked out because he knew he was leaving.

Had he put that same effort in the Finals, maybe a light bulb goes off with some of his teammates and makes it a more competitive series.

But yeah, Lebron was the one that made that delivery, even though it was ridiculously absurd even at that time.

When you're the preeminent star in the game or even just the best player on your team, and your team wins a title, you get the vast majority of the credit. Because of that, when your team doesn't win the title, you get the majority of the blame.
