Thank you, New York, for kicking LeBron's ass. And to think that "experts" were saying Cleveland was gonna win the championship this year. LOL. It's gonna be a fun season.

Statistically LeBron was the worst player on the court, that obviously won't last. I do think the Spurs are the team to beat this year because it's going to take the entire season for the Cavs to figure out how to play effectively together, but I don't think it's impossible they pull it together in time for the Finals.
I agree it'll be a fun season, I'm excited to see how my Bucks do. 35 wins would be a huge year for us.

With a Healthy Derek Rose The Cavs wont beat The Bulls for Top Seat. But I think Heat will be in the championship Game because D Wade has something to prove if stays healthy.

The Cavs will beat the Bulls, no question. People are so hyped about the Bulls, there's no reason to be. I don't see it. And the Heat might make the playoffs, there's no way they're going to the Finals. What drugs are you on Vader?

Hopefulness is not DRugs cause I wanna see Miami win a ring without King James Just because he Lebron was always a pretend Heat Player. He loses and goes home. Im sorry but that makes him less then Bryant,Duncan and Jordan.

I prefer to look at LeBron's transition as though he's returning to Cleveland more so than he's leaving Miami if that makes sense. I think LeBron feels indepted to Cleveland and wants to win them a title, I think it's honorable he went back rather than going somewhere entirely new where he might have had an even greater chance of winning a title (Chicago, for example). You can fault him for leaving Cleveland and going to Miami in the first place all you want. I don't think you can fault him for going back though.
Miami isn't going to win without LeBron. Wade isn't capable of carrying a championship team on his own, he couldn't when he had Shaq and he couldn't with LeBron.

You are why I hate sports fans neverending... knee jerk reactions... after ONE game. This isn't college football. They have 81 games to get it right.
Gonna take time to gel with his team mates and he won't shoot that poorly every night. In fact last night was clearly an anomaly if you look at his career stats.
That being said, it is all on Kyrie if they win or lose. He is an actual point guard, not like Mario "I'm the best player on the court" Chalmers.

Truth be known My colors are Red And White Bulls or Charlotte Hornets colors. Miami was my back up team and Wade was my favorite Player after Jordan. Now its Durant. I cant explain it but I just never liked Lebron.

Last night was clearly an anomaly if you look at his career stats. LeBron has been on the NBA for, what, 11 seasons now? Haven't we learned that he has no "heart" for the game? How many times have we seen him literally give up on the court? He may have talent and skills, but he's a really bad player and I'm tired of people comparing him to Jordan. He's not even on Kobe level. Or Magic level. Or Bird level. The fact that he makes his big return to Cleveland and delivers that shitty ass performance says everything you need to know about LeBron. |

That's your counter argument? I guess I'm right.

You're arguing heart, last I checked they don't have that as a stat in any professional sport. You are essentially arguing using a hypothetical. It is basically a straw man. "A really bad player" lol, listen to yourself. Troll away Neverending, Troll away.

You want stats? LeBron is currently ranking 4th in scoring average and the Cleveland Cavaliers are ranking 7th in the Eastern conference. Where's your savior now, Franklin?

I can't tell if you're saying all of this tongue-in-cheek or not.

The Miami Heat have won the first 3 games of the season. They join the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets and the Memphis Grizzlies as the only teams who haven't lost so far. Oh, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have dropped to 8th place. I can't tell if you're saying all of this tongue-in-cheek or not. A little. |

I'm not really sure why you're even making these arguments in the first place. Unless a team goes on an incredible run winning 10-15 games in a row, I don't think the standings really matter until after the All-Star break. I mean, the Spurs are 1-1 too tied with the Cavs. But I don't see anybody getting all up in arms about that. As somebody else said, this isn't football where every game can potentially make or break your season. I understand the cheekiness to this, but it just feels like a waste of everybody's time, including the time I spent writing this post.
And calling LeBron a "really bad player" is maybe the worst trolling post I've ever seen in my 11 years between the two forums.

I don't wanna give the head troll more bait, but I hope he knows I am a Rockets fan first and foremost.
I await his dwight howard bashing.

James Harden is winning MVP this year, dude has been playing out of his mind. Now if only we could get Josh Smith to stop shooting, that guy is frustrating as hell to watch.

Instead of playing out the next season? Hmm, as a Yankees fan that just saw Derek Jeter's farewell season I would think Kobe would want to do the same to say good-bye to the fans. At the same time, the Lakers are a disaster and going nowhere so maybe it's not a bad idea.
