It's his shtick with you and me since the Lakers have been eliminated.....weird obsession with the little man.

How many times do I gotta tell that goofball stop drinking directly outta Lake Erie?

I'll never understand folks who are bothered by people who don't "fall in line" and be fans of the local team. There are a multitude of reasons to not be a fan of a local team. Hell, during the Showtime era, I had a friend who stopped being a Lakers fan because they won too much. lol

Some people just need something to be outraged by. Hey wiggy can finally say the Cavs have turned things around before the Heat. It just took a lot long than he initially predicted.

It's a damn good thing UNLV basketball sucks. Even though I was a season ticket holder when I lived out there some yo-yo's would call me a bandwagoner if they were good right now.

Like I'm the only person on this site that roots for teams not in my home state. His selective outrage is always good for a laugh.

Gotta good laugh outta this. Oh Patrick what were you thinking?

"He's had eight years to bust me. He hasn't done it yet" - Larry Bird response to Patrick Ewing for claiming he used to "bust his butt"



Part of the article.

Larry Legend tellin' it like it is (or was).

"As far as Patrick, he has eight years to bust me. He hasn't done it yet. I couldn't stay around a lifetime and wait on him."

CAVS FANS: Step off the 480 Bridge for a second and realize…
- Game 1 was a trap game in every sense. We sat for a week after we swept Miami while Indiana stayed in rhythm in a longer series.
- We didnt have the threat or production of an All Star in Darius Garland. Meanwhile, theres no structural damage on his toe, so he’ll be in soon.
- We shot poorly in general, while Indiana had 4 role players (Nesmith, Nembhard, Mathrum, and McConnell) go a combined 13-18 from three (72%). It’s safe to say that’s not going to be throughout the series
- don’t be fooled by Mitchell’s 33 pts, it took him 30 shots to get it. He can play far better and more efficient.

I’m not worried/concerned as it sits. Of course you want to win every game, but given all those factors, I say it’s almost certain we win game 2 with improvements in all categories, and then likely steal one in Indiana. They aren’t Boston or OKC (although they’re a young rising team that’s becoming semi-dangerous in front of our eyes). Game 2, Cavs win, book it IMO

Nobody is worried except for the fans that haven't watched this team all season. I give credit to Indiana...they shot about as great as they could.

I also think people don't realize how important Garland is too this offense. I had questions about him in the past, for good reason, but he has pretty clutch this year and he can easily penetrate the defense. The best facilitator on this team BY FAR. Take Hali off Indiana and see what happens.
