Yeah, he is full of shit.

If I said it, it was in jest mocking him as he refused to admit resigning Love was a bad decision.

He will probably quote 1 line of an quote somewhere and completely ignore the context of the discussion surrounding it.

That is what Wiggy does.
I could quote the lines about how you insisted, multiple times, the Knicks are in a better position to win long term than the Cavs. That would be a good one. lol.

Did he really say that or are you full of shit again?

Because I remember a certain person that shall remain nameless that said the Cavs would turn things around before the Heat.

Are the Knicks better than the Cavs today?

Of course not.

What I have said, and what I stand by is that the Knicks are more likely to win a title next.

Because as good as the Cavs core is, I am still betting on the field.

And someday Dolan will sell the team, the Knicks will get competent management and it is just a huge upper hand being in that market vs Cleveland.

And you know all this.

But we can make a bet if you want on the Cavs.

As much Vcash as you want. You take the Cavs for as long as Garland and Mobley are on the roster, I take the field.

If the Cavs win a ring, you win. If they don’t, I win.

Long term?

As in winning a championship?

Yeah I said that. And I own that.

Similar to @msgkings322, I am betting against Cleveland winning because it is so much of an uphill battle for a market like them to get to that level.

Has nothing to do with how well they have rebuilt the roster.

Okay wasn't sure. I'm sure you can understand why I'd question something he says.

But I think as long as Dolan is running the Knicks they'll be jinxed. If he ever sells the team then I could see all star caliber players wanting to play there. But he ain't selling.

I agree.

Might be 50 years.

But will happen someday.

And he knows exactly what I said and trying to make it mean something else.

Only way my comment is wrong is if Cleveland wins a championship.

Well, my mother-in-law was from Ohio, so I kinda agree...:heh:

Every state has it's good points and bad points, there are no exceptions.

But I understand why so many like to take shots at the state. Hell I make fun of the place and I grew up there. Of the people that like to make fun of things wonder how many have actually spent any amount of time in the state?

Ohio. Hey at least we ain't Iowa! <--trademarked

It’s hilarious to me that you’re acting like the Cavs have done something when it isn’t even Christmas yet in the NBA. I think to myself where does that come from and then I say to myself…oh Cleveland. They just don’t know any better because for the most part sports in that realm of the world is a black hole outside of college football.

Or Wyoming. I had a friend who couldn't WAIT to go back there...

I mean, can anyone tell me anything that'd make anyone run to Wyoming...?

If they add another star with those picks....they will be right there with the Cavs.

It ain’t happening any time soon for the Knicks.

But Wiggy knows full well my “long term” comments were about winning titles in the next 100 years, not who is better over the next 10
