Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

While it was about injuries, it was mainly an age factor, especially the role players. Wade is at the end of his career, while Kyrie and Love arent. That is the difference, injuries or not.

Pat Riley is pretty sharp at what he does.
He doesn't rely on lotto balls as his top recruiting tool.
No way he lets a roster with James deteriorate to a non elite level.

And who cares what physical age Kyrie is?
Injuries trump all of that. Ask Greg Oden and a long list of others.

I thought he was pretty much fully healed

If that was the case, I don't see why they wouldn't at least have him active, especially with Love out.

Then it literally must have only been Cavs fans on this website. I live in the Cleveland area and never heard that come up once from anyone here or anywhere else I've traveled.

Think about it: If his reason for leaving Miami was because Wade was injured too often, why would he come to Cleveland with Kyrie, who is injured too often? Doesn't it make sense that it would've been something else, as in what I said earlier?

That bold is pretty much what everyone else on here was telling them. Shit, turnup has been saying all season that karma was going to catch up to Lebron because Kyrie and Love couldn't stay healthy. Some of the Cavs fans here (especially Wiggy) laughed at him over it.

Yet, here we are, with Love out and Kyrie likely out and now those same Cavs fans are crying about injuries.

Well he couldnt be flexible like the Cavs and that is a fact. The Cavs got those picks and got some good pieces

Karma for wanting to go back to his hometown, you guys think way too much. Everyone knew he was going back to Cleveland EVENTUALLY, I dont see why there has to be karma involved. He betrayed Cleveland, not Miami...some believe. He owes it to Cleveland, everyone knows this.

We had no picks, because to get them, you have to suck (for quite some time).
Heat way has always been through FA because when your successful it's about the only way.

Not the point

Kinda like how you followed LBJ to Miami and repped the Heat while he was there and now that he's back in Cleveland, surprise! You're a diehard Cavs fan. Trojanfan12 already called you out so stop being hypocritical.

I think many would beg to differ. If either or both are injury prone then they may be closer to the end of the careers than you may want to believe.

 

[trojanfan12]

He isnt injured all the time, that is definitely exaggerated.

Really? So he's been 100% all season, huh? Guess we can expect him to be in top form on Sunday. The guy has been injured pretty much every season he's played, including college.

He played 11 games in his 1 season at Duke.

Since he joined the Cavs 4 years ago, he has averaged playing in 64 of 82 possible regular season games. He's only 4 years in and has already missed 72 games. Nearly a full season. This past season was his best, he played in 75 of 82 games. Yet, here he is injured again.

Over that same period of time, Wade has averaged 60 of the 82 regular season games. In 3 of the past 4 seasons, the Heat were in the playoffs and I believe he missed 1 game.

Like I said, he's left an old guard who's injured all the time to play with a young guard who's injured all the time.

I'm definitely not saying I don't believe you, I just don't see why some Cavs fans would've thought it was Wade's age/health that led Lebron to leave Miami.

The Spurs would like to say something about that.

@shane bullshitting my post. I guess some people don't like it when the shit their fanbase talked blows up on them.

True.
But that's a very, very unique situation because their best 3 players all left tons of money on the table.
Good for them.

Now this is the stuff I hate. He didn't "betray" anyone. He came to Cleveland and gave us 7 of the best years of our team's existence. He left because he was 25, playing for a team with a GM that refused to give him any sort of talent to work with, and he saw a great chance to succeed in Miami. I didn't and still don't blame him for that at all, and he "owes" nothing to Cleveland. If he helps us win a title, we should be elated, but saying he owes that to us makes Cleveland fans look ungrateful.

Well from what we saw yesterday that cortizone shot must be a helluva pain eliminator...until it's not. LOL

If you can't see how karma is involved in what Lebron did and what has already been explained, I don't know what else to tell you. We can explain it to you, but we can't understand it for you.

I guess you'll just have to keep bullshitting my posts to make yourself feel better there Nancy.

Good for them.

They also had one of arguably the best 3-4 coaches of all-time. What they did in terms of team ball with no egos in a league like the NBA is unbelievable.

the worst part of my sports calendar. the end of the NBA season and the start of the NFL season. baseball is dead time to me...

Stanley Cup, although that's over at the same time I guess.

Umm MLS? lol Womens world cup as well

tell me about it....i've been getting from him and across the court..i mean field, all day! LOL

So Kyrie is unlikely to play in the Finals any further, regardless of his MRI results, according to USA Today.

Man, if JR, Shump and TT want to earn their next big contracts, now is the time to show it.

I couldn't agree more.
