3-4 in the Finals. He's still lost more than he's won. Name any Top 10 players who still have a losing record in the Finals.

also dont forget 2 L's was with a Power 3 team and 2 championships were won by Ray allen and Irving hitting game winners.

the simple FACT is Whiteside's the better of the two!! deny it, hurt over it. let it give you NIGHTMARES...

fact is it's the TRUTH, little fella. DEAL with it...

when the Cavs are back in the Finals- and Whiteside and the Heat are back in the lotto...are you gonna feel as sstupid as you look with this post?

lol....

Jordan lost more than he won.
Magic lost more than he won.
Kareem lost more than he won.

Losing is losing... whether it comes in the regular season, 1st round, 2nd round, conf finals, or finals.

You're wrong on all accounts in terms of the finals, stop deflecting.

Hahahaha. Other than Lebron, those guys all left when their salaries outweighed their remaining talent. Sucks from a fan perspective, but Riley is doing what's best for the franchise by not paying for past accomplishments. Of course, if he was implying he would "make good" with Wade while he was taking less time after time, it's dirty pool, but it's over now.

This. I understand why Wade feels disrespected but on the other hand I also know why Riles did what he did. Saying Riles needs to go is beyond stupid.

Lets assume Warriors do what most assume they will
do.

A year from now, Wade, Paul and James are all FA.

Does the banana boat tour take itself to NY?

Jordan is 6-0 in the finals. How has he lost more than he's won?

6 seasons he won the title.

9 seasons he didnt.

err, no....

know why? because it doesn't PROVE who's the better of the 2. know what DOES? the match-up...

you're starting to look like Wonder Woman with all these deflections...

Deflecting what?

Those guys lost more than they won.

Everyone... outside of the 60's Celtics has.

Do you think losing only counts when you get to the Finals?

Pretty funny coming from a Cavs fan.
Worst overall record in the entire NBA for the last decade of years James wasn't there.

Lotto is a good thing occasionally.
Cavs basically thrived on it.

Do Paul and Melo have player options next year? I know they both have 2 years left on their full deal, right?

 

[purguy12]

I have said from day 1 that Thompson was overpaid and everyone said that is was the worst deal ever...no joke. But just think Mozgov is getting paid that this year...Mozgov. Ohh and Tristan is 25 years old. He will NEVER be a stat stuffer but he does all the little things better than 99% of the players in the league. Defend well in the post and perimeter. Rebound, especially on the offensive glass (one of the best in the NBA). In this market he is worth it to the Cavs for sure and he still is overpaid but so is 90% of the league now.

I have to agree with shane on this one. Moz is terrible. TT is the better player by a good amount. There was a reason TT started and Moz got benched.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

6 seasons he won the title.

9 seasons he didnt.

Not quite how it works but sure, if you want to go that route:

Which would make lebron 3-10

Significantly worse than 6-9

 

[gordontrue]

2 championships were won by Ray allen and Irving

This is complete garbage and anyone who isn't blinded by an agenda knows it.

 

[trojanfan12]

lakers are paying Timo Mozgov almost EXACTLY the same as what Thompson has left on his deal with the Cavs.

lol....talk about overpaid....proooooob not a road you want to go down

Both are overpaid, imo, because both teams had to overpay. It's how things turn out that determine whether or not the overpay was worth it.

The Cavs had to overpay TT because their only other option was to let him walk for nothing and even with him off the books, they didn't have the cap space to replace him with a cheaper option. In the end, they won the title, so it's worth the overpay.

The Lakers had to overpay Mozgov because they were unable to get any of the guys they originally targeted and they needed a center who is at least serviceable. If Mozgov can get some rebounds, prevent teams from forming layup lines during the game and help mentor the young guys (particularly Zubac), then the overpay will also be worth it.

Deflecting what?

Those guys lost more than they won.

Everyone... outside of the 60's Celtics has.

Do you think losing only counts when you get to the Finals?

By that reasoning, those guys have NOT lost more than they won due to regular season records.

you think the Cavs have another move in them--- or do you think that they will focus on JR and thats it?

right now the team is looking solid...as long as Jr gets resigned i think they are okay to go into the year...

PG- Kyrie, Mo, Felder
SG- JR, Shump
SF- LeBron, Jefferson, Dunleavy
PF- Love, Frye, James Jones
C- Tristan, Kaun

I think they will add a defensive minded center with the rest of the trade exceptions/vet. min deals....

other than that.....lets just run it back!

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Paul has player option.
Melo under contract but it wouldn't matter cause they'd be joining him.

Definitely.

You have never seen me and you will never see me (as things look now) argue that LeBron is ahead of Jordan.

sorry, but how's that garbage. didn't both hit the game winners...?
