It was so crazy too. You never see injuries in sports.

I see what you did there. Injuries are legit, like when you mentioned Harden's injury earlier this season. But not with the Cavs.

Since you have an anti-Cleveland agenda, something you said you would do last summer, mentioning that injures got the Cavs bad last season is somehow invalid?

I agree that nothing more needed to be said once he was traded, but I read this morning that things had reached the point that if the Lakers didn't get him traded, they were going to send him home.

Sounds like Russ did the team a huge favor.

I am not convinced the FO includes those picks to get a deal done if Russ was trying to fit in.

And Maxey and Embiid and every year come playoff time Embiid is banged up and even out. Have you seen me use injuries as an excuse though? You are what you are…inquiries and all. Eagles OL injuries led to Carson Wentz implosion and Doug Pederson being fired. Injuries happen in sports. It is what it is.

Russ is an immensely talented player but he's also a HUGE stat padder.

The Lakers needed him to be something he wasn't. There's nothing wrong with that. It simply just didn't work out.

Worth a shot when Rob traded for him a couple years ago. Not all experiments work out.

Even liberals are often puzzled by how far the woke speech police have gone.

This guy is basically just a kid. He's going to say some off-color shit.

$40k because "No Homo" was offensive?!?

Fuck off with that BS

Hey all I'm saying is he wasn't wrong. The injury bug got the Cavs bad last season. You really think if they were 100% last year they would have lost 8 of their final 11 games? They were having a decent season before the last round of injuries made the end of the regular season even tougher.

To be fair that is crass and even young people should learn to avoid that stuff but yeah $40k is a bit much.

Yes I do. I thing their coach is just a guy. I think they started peacocking after the All Star weekend in Cleveland like they had arrived because they were a midseason 3 seed. I don’t think they handled success well and with the excuse making used to explain away the post All Star game collapse I could see it happening again for them.

Give him a warning to start at least.

And I hope that $40k is going towards an LGBTQ charity rather than funding Adam Silvers next luncheon.

So injuries to key players, namely Allen, had nothing to do with their struggles after the A.S. break? I give you credit for 100% sticking to your anti-Cleveland agenda.

See I can't take you seriously about anything you say about all Cleveland teams because of your comments this past summer. If you're gonna talk nonstop junk about a city next time don't tell everyone in the NBA threads that's your agenda. Admitting that ruined your game plan.

That's not anti-gay at all, lol.

Homo means man. People need to get off their soapboxes about words (and pronouns).

Only in Latin. 'Negr0' means the color black in Spanish, you wanna go there too?

 

[Black Adam]

If the Cavs didn't have Allen and Mobley and got Wiseman.....he'd be talking what a deal, etc.....

LOL.

All it takes is that li'l change to Wine and Gold. It's miraculous...

I apologize for ever giving you the impression that I have any fucks to give about how my opinion is received by you or anyone here.
