I agree with that. Purguy made it seem like Toronto played the best that they possibly could which I disagree with. They had 39 points in the 2nd half lol. They did not play their A game. Best game of the series? Yeah but they can play even better

Plus, they could have JV coming back.

To say a team can play even better can be said about any team in the NBA. Well except the Lakers & 76ers.:D

JV is a difference maker if he is healthy.

I still don't give Toronto a realistic chance to win the series, but if they somehow take game 4, we will see how the Cavs respond to some real pressure. Only then will we know if the newfound chemistry is real.

A football question for a second. Would you be okay if the Browns traded RG III to Washington for Cousins?:noidea:

I agree. They can push Cleveland though if JV is back

Jones suspended for his cheap shot.

Cleveland should not be surprised if Toronto gets retaliation early in game 4

Oh, no....not the same medical issue at all.

Just a risk of death if a clot goes to his brain, lung or major artery.

Hanks issue was his heart.

We let folks climb MT. Everest knowing there is a better than average chance of dying.

But, that's not televised live...

I would not want to be Riley.

Yeah. Hopefully they can find some treatment that will keep him from having those clots. I'm no doctor, don't even play one on tv, but there may be some blood thinners or something that he can use. Although, those present their own challenges, especially for an athlete. I'd hate to see him have to give up being in the NBA, but end of the day, it's not worth his life.

Agree. I wouldn't want to be Riley either.

Agree. There is no question that the Cavs appear to have developed better chemistry and have been playing their best basketball since Lebron returned. But, as they say, winning is a great deodorant. If they go back to Cleveland 2-2, the pressure will be on and we'll see how they respond.

Man, I think a person deserves the right to live their life and go out on their own terms.

But, Damn....I agree with Kimble here.

It's what's best for Bosh's family and the Heat.

Bo Kimble: Just retire, Chris Bosh; don't die like Hank Gathers
wow....

The guy has accomplished so much- he has plenty of money- he could walk away from the game right now and have a nice place in its history, and a ton of cash, and he would be healthy. I dont know if there was even a 10% chance you would risk otherwise- even a 5%......


Bosh should retire and if he retires........Riley should retire...Wade should go to Chicago....the replacement gmshould sign and trade Whiteside, and just start the rebuild. The Heat wont make the Conference Finals ever again as this team is presently constituted.
