What?

Did I ever let u slip away?

 

[Heatles84]

No it's not the same excuse rofl

Did whiteside and dragic play? Congrats on beating our 2nd and 3rd strings i guess

Try making the playoffs in the east or being better than .500 under the great whisteside...

Started off 11-30 given the injuries that mounted during the season, now sitting at 29-34.

And yes, Whiteside and Dragic did play. But you useless cucks keep downplaying them. So what's your excuse now? Btw, beating the Cavs last night meant shit to me in terms of this being a meaningful win. This isn't the same as us beating the Warriors and Rockets earlier this year.

It was nice for you to get a W against the champs

 

[lebron23james]

Well of course Williams is a shell of what he was earlier in his career. But I don't think they brought him in to be running w/ LeBron & Kyrie. The Cavs brought him in to be the backup PG. I actually thought it was a good addition for them.

Exactly, he was brought in to run the offense of the 2nd unit and not do anything stupid like that d-league player we had bringing the ball up the court.

As for out defense and why it is rated lower this year is because of injuries. We basically have the exact same core group of players as last year.

Meh. The Warriors and Rockets were more meaningful wins.

You will change your tune when we are back to back flat world champions

So he'll be on the court with whom?
I think he is an upgrade in both talent and experience, but if he's on the court with a bunch of backups, he's not going to do much.
I think he plays with James when Kyrie is out, then Kyrie can play when James is out.
Cavs need to keep one or the other on the court at almost all times IMO.

Just another one of the 18 of our last 23 games.
All count the same.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Try making the playoffs or being better than .500 w/o LeBron. wiggy for prez-o-dent! And you can be his VP.

1 win from ECF Finals 1 year removed from LeBron and no Bosh.

Why did you ask me who he'll be on the court w/ when I said he was brought in as part of the 2nd unit more often than not? It's very difficult to have any type of reasonable conversation w/ you when you're on your never ending anti Cavs stuff. Because in your mind the Cavs can't do anything right. And you're always looking to say...I told you so whenever given the opportunity.

 

[Black Adam]

Nice to see you're a bigger man than your friend. Since you're such a man which I appreciate, I'll make a minor change to the deal. The loser of the bet just can't post in this thread for a week.

Deal?

wow...

I don't believe what i'm about to type, but props to LeGroupie23 for having the balls to stand behind his man/team...

Don't be a douche.
The 2nd unit will be whom?
Cavs just added Korver, Bogut.
J.R. coming back.

Me saying Williams is a shell of himself is anti Cavs?
Me saying Williams will be better with Kyrie or James on the court is anti Cavs?
I watched him very closely last night.
Trust me, he's a shell of his old self.


I've said since the Cavs raised the banner in October that they are a lock to be back in the Finals.
It is what it is.

It's hilarious you'd call anyone a douche, you douchebag. And pointing out your nonstop issues w/ 1 player & 1 team isn't being a douche. It's stating a fact.

You had no problem when he left the Cavs & joined the Heat. You had no problem while he was leading your team to 4 straight Finals & back to back titles. But he had the nerve to leave & from that moment on you've had issues.

And I never said Williams isn't a shell of his former self. But like I already said I thought it was a good pick up for them. Maybe you disagree? And I haven't made him out to be anything he isn't. His prime is in his rearview mirror now.

Paul George with 34.

Please find any 'issue' I ever had with him leaving.
To the contrary, its documented that I said I wanted him to leave if he wouldn't sign for multiple years with no opt out.
Why is it so hard for you to comprehend that ALOT of people simply can't stand him?
That is far different from saying he isn't a great, great player, which I NEVER have.

As far as him originally joining the Heat, I really had no say so in it, but I certainly wasn't celebrating it.
As a Heat fan it was fun, without a doubt, but by end of year 3 I was over the Divaism.

If you never had an issue w/ him leaving why did you have the phrase...fuck LeBron right under your avatar 2 years ago? And what you have never understood is I'm not a fan of LeBron's. His antics get on my nerves. He needs to just keep his mouth shut & not be such a social media diva.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

@Wamu

Since @WiggyRuss wont answer,

Why is it ok for James to rest, sit on the bench and joke around all game with Kyrie and J.R. while his team is getting their ass kicked by 30, but he's allowed to cry like a baby, insult tesmates, etc. when he and the team give it their all but lose?
