If you are the owner of Cleveland it all comes down to, you want to win a championship for Cleveland. Who is going to give you the best chance, most likely the ONLY chance? Lebron.
He put himself in a corner and now he is stuck in it with Bron Bron's balls dangling in his face.


I get that approach.

But weren't all those 'fans' supportive of what he said in the letter?

Like I said, ME PERSONALLY, I'm sticking to my guns.
Gilbert chose not to.
If he wins a championship now, or soon with James then I can't say he did the wrong thing.

If he doesn't though.....

Every fan has their own opinion on the matter, so I dont know.

All I know is Gilbert is ALL-IN. If a championship isnt won at some point, it is a fail. Plain and simple.

I knew nothing about Gilbert. He founded Quicken Loans. Impressive.

I hated when they changed the name. It sucks bc basically every stadium name is changed bc of endorsements and extra money of course. Gund Arena, I liked it. damn

Tell me what you all see here.

I see Green jump stop and set a pick with his body and an elbow to Delly's Neck/shoulder, then Delly hip check Green.


I see 2 good no-calls too. Some homers think this is a good screen by Green and an illegal play by Delly.

Yeah, I believe that is a way, I just dont think they are going to do it. The way I see it if they havent done it all year after winning 67 games then why change it now, but I agree something needs to change.

Hmm...didnt know that

So double him? I know he will find the open man, but they need to change something.

Yeah, I agree. What they are doing, clearly isn't working, so they have to try something different.

Right now, Lebron's teammates are playing without much pressure on them. Lebron is completely controlling the pace of the game and they are just filling in as needed (and doing a very good job of it). If they can tire Lebron out and/or force him to give the ball to his teammates earlier, it puts his teammates in position to have to make decisions with the ball that they aren't comfortable making.

The Indians sold the left field foul pole to Walgreens, for fuck's sake.

I did read that letter from Gilbert because it was a pretty big deal around here when james left. I'll say this, I'm not really even a Cavs fan, but that letter was embarrassing for Cleveland.

Did someone here say it was kept up online until last year?

Yeah, turnup did. Apparently, it was kept online until just before he announced he was returning to Cleveland.

He actually founded Rock Financial and then it became Quicken Loans. Dude is one hell of a businessman. His model at Quicken is genius in terms of making money. He also founded Fathead (the wall hangings, not the Brewery) and I believe he also started OneReverse.

Lebron hits that jumper in game 1, we're talking sweep. Curry has been shut down, neutralized, demoralized.
I'm not sure. He didn't exactly look demoralized when he was lighting up the Cavs in the second half on Tuesday.
