missm Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Elle4EC thanks for posting that!! I can't see it too many times. Chris, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Tommy (as usual) your observation is right on point!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I hate to bring this up, because the series certainly isn't over yet, but......take away LeBron's great clutch shot the other night, and the Cavs would have been swept in 4 straight by Orlando.....things do not look good.

chris hess Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 john o is right..it's looking pretty grim..i'm still with them,but they have met their match in orlando..good luck to them..lol,chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It looks like that 9 day lay-off didn't help the Cavs. It appears their momentum went down the crapper while they rested.Also, I don't think their kicking the crap out of the Pistons and Hawks in very short order helped. One of those teams is still a very young work-in-progress (Atlanta), while the other one was wrecked by dumping their bext player (Billups) for the aging and getting-more-selfish-as-he-ages Allan Iverson. The Cavs would have been better off with some real competition.I understand LeBron hightailed it out of the locker room last night immediately after the game, without a word to the press, his teammates, or anyone else. While the Cavs looked like they got a better supporting cast for him this past season, they were only able to put it together for 90 games (82 regular season, plus the first 2 playoff series).....Just hope this year's lack of playoff success doesn't bring the team down too much. They have a lot to be proud of....whether they feel like it at this moment or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 We need a nice pick up in the frontcourt. If the Lakershad LeBron instead of Kobe, they win close to 80 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannoman Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 LeBron did all he could. It was noted before the series began that the Cavs didn't match up with the Magic but when you have a player like LeBron anything can happen (as evidenced in Game 2). The Magic have been underrated all year but have a lot of bench depth (which the Cavs don't). Unless they build around him, next year won't be much different. That would be a shame. He deserves better.The Lakers have the talent to win it all but the Magic are no pushovers. Just ask the Sixers, Celtics & Cavs. When the Magic are focused, they will beat anyone.Should be a good finals - Go Magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I don't think the Cavs' management should do much except maybe add a player or two to upgrade their bench. Winning 66 games in the regular season is one Hell of an accomplishment, any way you look at it. The playoffs in ANY sport is a big crap shoot, luck of the draw situation, and the Cavs could conceivably win it all next year with the exact same cast intact if everything falls into place for them....or they could never win it all....as in the case of Ewing & the Knicks, Karl Malone/John Stockton & the Jazz, etc. Many of the all-time greatest players either never won a title or didn't do so until late in their career (Oscar Robertson & the Bucks). LeBron did all he could this year, but it's a team game. and sometimes great individual performances aren't enough in the post-season.

hollies65 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The big talk is bringing Rasheed Wallace or Carlos Boozer in. Ben Wallace is gonna hang em up and Wally is gone...that's 25 million per year off the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'd worry about Wallace...he's afriggin' head case...but Boozer would fit nicely. In the meantime though...the Cavs need some consistant outside shooting...sorry Mo Wms.Too bad...leBron can't do it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well, I hate to say I told you so but, as great as LeBron is, it's pretty obvious he needs a better supporting cast. I'm afraid Orlando will probably give the Lakers a bigger challenge than Cleveland. L.A. Lakers in 6!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 LeBron got trashed in this morning's Wash Post by Mike Wilbon.....seems he also forgot to shake hands with any of the Magic players after the game, choosing to email them his congrats later. WTF??? His quote: "It's hard for me to congratulate someone after you lose to them. I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sprt or anything like that. But somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them on beating you up. That doesn't make sense."Sorry, King J, but it does, and I think you'd be used to it by now, having no world championship rings yet. Jesus...can you imagine what kind of negative press Kobe would get over a quote (or action) like this? So I guess LJ's not perfect after all!

chris hess Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 being a huge cavs fan,i hated what lebron did..i was stunned..and,he needs to say more about the team in interviews,he usually talks about himself.."i this,i that"..he hardly ever says "we"..i'm a lil bummed about him...lol,chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'll take LeBron...If he leaves Cleveland...I don't even want to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is it me...or does the whole shaking hands thing seem overblown? Now I don't believe the reason King James gave about NOT shaking hands....but that's okay. What I REALLY think is a big thing however is that he skipped the press conference afterwards. He'll be fined per NBA rules.Personally....I feel this is going to end in an ugly manner. This year's crop of unrestricted free agents is a little thin, save for Boozer and Arvisis(spell check) (dude on Lakers). LeBron shouldn't sign an extension this July...and without LeBron signed....who'll want to go to Cleveland?However, I don't believe LeBron "needs" NYC to be global.....and the thought of the Brooklyn Nets playing on Flatbush Avenue doesn't excite me.Basically I see a feeding frenzy starting this time next year for King James. IMHO of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Everything points to Lebron staying in Cleveland...he hangs out with his old high school friends...his Mom, to whom LeBron is VERY close has stated she does not want to leave the area.He has just finished building a 35K sq ft home between Akron and Cleveland. A Chinese conglomerate has just become minority owner in the Cavs...which is HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Steve....the Chinese connection trumps all else regarding LeBron staying in Cleveland. Talk about going global! THAT is HUGE.LeBron speaks of being the first true billionaire athlete. He doesn't need NYC for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Personally, I can't see LeBron heading to NY unless Knicks management does something themselves over the next year about putting together a decent supporting cast for whatever big star they try to sign. The Cavs are very, very close to their goal now, and all it'll take next year is a break or two their way in how the post-season plays out. For example, had the Celtics beaten the Magic in their game 7 this go-round, I think the Cavs could have handled them.On the other hand, if winning all the marbles isn't what LeBron really wants (but I'm sure it is), and it's all about the dough, endorsements, non-stop publicity, etc., then certainly NYC would appeal to him.

Jerry Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is it me...or does the whole shaking hands thing seem overblown? I think if the Cavs had won and members of the Magic didn't hang around to congratulate 'King James', we would have heard all about how he didn't get his props, how they dissed him, and how they best recognize. I understand that no one wants to be known as a 'good loser', but even Bird, Magic, and Jordan were gracious losers. That is what sportsmanship is about, and that is what people expected out of LeBron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris hess Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 i truly think lebron will stay in the cavs uniform..i see zee gone and ben wallace,they need someone with huge muscles as a center,like orlando's howard..wally could be gone too...lol,chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Z is staying. Wallace is retiring and Wally is a free agent...Bye Wally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
