Perk to Cleveland

[TurnUpTheHeat]

sounds about right. one game for kicking the "king's" jewels...

Here's the thing. All men have at one time or another taken a shot to the nuts.
You don't recover in 3-5 seconds like James did hence I call flop/bullshit on the severity of it.

How dare you sir!! Lebron does not flop. He even said so and Lebron always tells the truth. That's why he is being so patient with this team while they develop and not making any roster changes. Just like he said in that letter that he wrote all by himself.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Do you remember the strike shortened season when teams played 3 games back to back to back?
The Heat won all 3 on the road by I believe all over 20 points or something outrageous...

You have James. Quit trying to not set the bar to the highest level.

LOL....hey bro.....easy....i dont know why you make this about the Heat atall....I just watched 4 years of a rebuilding project- and now my favorite team has been playing like the best team in the league- and has done great during a stretch of the schedule that is obscenely difficult......when they lost tothe Rockets in overtime on the road without Kyrie-it broke a 10 game winning streak vs. the West. They just beat toronto to win teh season series 3-1 and own the tie breaker....The crushed Golden State by playing a completely different style then what they have been playing on most nights which shows you that Blatt is versatile, ...there schedule has been tough since the break and in the next week they play ATL, PHO, SAS, and DAL- im very interested to see how they play through it.

Its a ton of fun to watch them right now- and they are playing great against not only the teams they should beat- but the other elite teams in the league.

Whoever watched that Toronto game last night and saw how Kyrie and Love were playing in the 3rd quarter off of eachother and setting eachother up would see the DRASTIC difference between November and December and where they are starting to get to today- and where they could get if this team sticks together for a while

So please, this is not about your Heat and what they did a few years ago- they had a nice win against the Lakers last night- I watched a decent amount of thegame- and could not believe how many empty seats there were...

yah...in the letter where he PURPOSEFULLY left out Wiggins and Bennets name beacuse he knew they were gone....cmon man...at leaset get the facts straight on that deal.....

If you want to say Waiters and a highly protected first from Memphis constituted a panic trade for getting Smith, Shumpert and Mozgov then i can at leaset understand where you are coming from.

Myself, i find it hard to believe that trading Wiggins and a highly protected #1 from Memphis is evidence of LeBron "not being patient".....but thats just me....



for instance just think of just the first round pick for a second- right now the Cavs dont have a roster spot to add a PG - if the RIGHT guy came avaliable they would have to cut Joe Harris- a guy they dont want to cut at all- and a guy who would be picked up off Waivers very quickly.

they already have their OWN first rounder in the draft....if they had Memphis too- both of which will be terrible- they would not only have to find roster spots for late first rounders- but also dedicate the guaranteed money.

Did you see what OKC did last year?they didnt want to dedicate the money to a late first roudner since they had a loaded roster and knew a guy couldnt help them substantially-so they TOLD the guy- we will draft you in the first round if you go to the dleague and take no guaranteed money- but we will give you MORe money then a secondround pick and give you a hand shake deal you will be around for a while.

as for the lebron flopping...yo uare spot on ...it gets annoying- early in his career I woudl get worried he was seriously injured....now.....you just shrug it off when he lays there for 5 minutes wincing because 99% of the time its nothing...


now he has never done anything on the level of ultimate scumbag Paul Pierce, who called for a wheel chair to take him off the court,and then was playing 20 minutes later, LOL.....

butthat is besides the point

 

[bksballer89]

The Cavs bigs are so soft lol.

Teams keep taking cheap shots on Lebron because they know the Cavs bigs are soft and won't do anything.

Mozgov or Perk should have laid out Harden on Sunday and last night someone should have laid out DeRozan

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Cavs, Bulls and Raptors are all now tied for the #2 seed.

Cavs have had just a brutal week+ of schedule- going from GSW, to HOU, to BOS, to TOR, to ATL in just 8 days.....if they beat Atlanta Friday and come out of that 4-1 with the only lossbeing an overtime loss on the road- they will have done well.

They look really good.

But, so does Hotlanta.

Lebron's White Knight rides to the rescue again!!

[WiggyRuss]

ole Dan G.needs to have a little talk with Perk and have him understand his duties and that he will get a (wink wink) refund of any lost monies that he may incur, LOL...maybe comp him some chips at one of the casinos

OMG not this again...

LMAO this one was ALWAYS a crack-up...

If by soft you mean they are not thugs who will impulsively do something stupid to hurt their team- than you might be right. Perkins and Mozgov will mix it up with anyone- but I would rather the guys not do something to hurt the team in a close game and risk giving the other team momentum...in a lot of situations at least....

is there a time and place for retaliation in todays NBA? I dont know if there is.

I am sure the Phoenix Suns who got off the bench to go "protect" their teammate have a huge regret they did not just let the refs sort it out.

 

[bksballer89]

Who said anything about coming off the bench?

Are you really hurting your team by setting a hard pick or drilling the opponents best player with a hard foul?

Nobody is saying get into fights or commit a flagrant 2 here.

Give me a break. Saying that going 4 - 1 in those 5 games would mean they've done "well".... is trying to lower the bar?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Perk still has not played much but the Cavs are rolling....right now its not quite the 4th quarter and they are over 20+ on the Mavericks IN DALLAS.....they are looking good. That two days of rest was nice.

It was over after the 2nd quarter.

The Cavs starters look great.

this game is right up there with their best of the season. They have played a complete game on both ends against a good opponent on the road. Games like this should just keep swelling their confidence.

Let's see how swollen it is after Thursday.
Look, yes, they looked like a machine tonight, but most nights everything you throw up from behind the arc, doesn't go in.
Hell, if I'm the Mavs, I'm thrilled that when the game was close that James was satisfied launching 3's.
You just tip your cap and move on.

I mean they destroyed my Clippers. But, I agree this was about the most balanced, and lethal, game that I have seen from them this Season.

The game against the Warriors was more about Lebron being so dominant.

This win was about the Team.

Looks like the East will be exciting come playoff time.
