tOfficial 2015 NBA Draft/Free Agency Thread

[Black Adam]

"Irving was originally given a 3-4 month window for recovery, but Cleveland has to be cautious with its 23-year-old star given his lengthy injury history. The Plain Dealer reports the "chances are slim" of Irving playing in the season opener on Oct. 27 in Chicago against the Bulls."


Lengthy injury history?

Maybe Wiggy will sue the Plain Dealer for slander on Kyries behalf?

well hell, he's an aspiring lawyer, right? maybe we'll get to see it on Court T.V. wait, is that still around...?

 

[trojanfan12]

funny, coulda swore I said the same thing...

Yeah, I was posting from my phone, which I never do, and missed it.

Wait a minute?

You upgraded your flip phone?

 

[trojanfan12]

I had to. I'm working in real estate and there were apps that I needed. I'm still pissed about it and still have my flip phone in case my smart phone pisses me off and I kill it.

So....Wiggy still hasn't shown his face. Guess we were right about that whole Kyrie Irving injury history thing after all. Who knew?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

With Kyrie and Love taking more and more of the load- and the Cavs resting James- and taking care of him more like the Spurs with Duncan- than the LAkers with Kobe- is extremely important.

Can you imagine the Cavs trying to get FA's? Come and play with the 3 time champion Cavs with LeBron in his twilight a la Duncan- Kyrie right at the absolute height of his powers- Kevin Love still very efficent- reminding me very much of the ages of the guys that came together towards the end in Boston- but very very much more like the Spurs in reality. Oh itll be a sweet sight fellas

I'm sure Wiggy will backtrack and put a positive Cavs spin on it though...

Can't be true..
He was back on the court with youth campers just a week or so ago...

I think he re-injured his knee crossing over a 6 year old and the Cavs are just covering it up.

lol yeah, you gotta keep those kind of things on the down-low. i wouldn't want that getting out either...

so Wiggy, tell us what YOU think of this...

um, Wiggy...?

 

[bksballer89]

But but kyrie is not injury prone

 

[bksballer89]

Hey wigg what is your definition of injury prone?

WiggyRuss also probably think grant hill wasn't injury prone

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

But but kyrie is not injury prone

He's also a slow healer.

Anyone ever try to glue glass back together?

 

[Heatles84]

There's no way to spin this. And I'm sure Lebron's not the happiest person right now hearing this news. I"m sure part of the reason Lebron left the Heat was due to Wade's health issues where Lebron was sometimes was forced to carry a large load during the regular season. Here we are now where Cavs fans are talking about Blatt's going to manage Lebron's minutes this season. Good luck with that with Kyrie expected to miss over a third of the season. Lebron's trying to make his 6th straight finals and is going to be 31. Lebron in his career (or at least for the last 7 years), has been to at least the conference finals - that's a shit ton of miles on anyone's body.

He knows Kyrie is injury prone...he's just too stubborn to admit it and he also just likes to argue. If only he'd listen more than he talks....

if only world hunger were to end...

if only crime could be eliminated...

if only, if only, if only...

btw, guess we're all officially on Wiggy watch now considering he hasn't answered to any of this. guess he's trying to come up with a super rebuttal...

 

[trojanfan12]

Considering the length of his regular posts, I'll have to check with Hammer to see if the Hoop has the bandwidth to handle it.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Impact of Kyrie Irving's absence
Win Loss Win % Div Playoffs
Irving healthy 58.8 23.2 71.7% 92.4% 100.0%
Irving out thru 12/31 57.1 24.9 69.6% 86.3% 99.9%
Impact -1.7 1.7 -2.1% -6.1% -0.1%


So missing projected 30 games lowers win projection by less than 2.

Yet some feel he's a top 10-20 NBA player?

Numbers don't indicate this.

Look at the size of Bosh....

You going to bust a nut now or later

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You going to bust a nut now or later

I don't want to make a mess in my store....so hopefully later...


And, I just put the pic up showing his new size.
Where did I say that for sure it is a good thing?

I can make cases for and against it.
Time will tell.


You just a little testy since Kyrie once again has confirmed what everyone here other then blind Cavs fans has been predicting?
