and Yes. Booing Varejao for Cavs fans is wrong. PERIOD. Cleveland sports fans showing their *** once again, is all that is. IN A BILLION years, Heat fans don;t boo Rio, Birdman, or Mike Miller. In fact, we have given STANDING ovations to all three since they were traded.
Why is everyone being so weird about Curry's knee? He's fairly obviously limited and feels better some nights than others. People are making this a weird black and white issue.
And yes, it's insane that Cavs fans booed Varejao. The bad thing about the Cavs being good is that a bunch of idiot Browns fans have migrated over and become Cavs fans. Are things so split in Miami? I mean - everyone cheers for all of the CLE teams, but the bigger Cavs and Indians fans sort of roll their eyes at die-hard Browns fans. Is there a divide in the fanbases for the 3 teams in MIA?
Most of us are diehard Fins and Heat fans down here...but there is a RIVALRY between certain factions from both, and those factions can be extremely obnoxious. In Baseball, we have so many transplants that there are too many fans of damn near everybody, so they don't matter.
Sounds sort of similar to hear but with some of the sports flipped - Indians and Browns fans clash a lot. Cavs fans were sort of their own animal until they got good.
The only team that truly upsets me are the Dolphins... Marlins I never expect much of anything and after experiencing two championships im more than satisfied.. The Heat are just winners.. Nothing bad to say about the Heat.. The Dolphins though, this is an embarassing team to root for at times... There are multiple weeks during the season that i have to avoid the television or radio because im ashamed to listen to the incompetence that goes on in Davie.. We are truly laughed at... I hope Gase changes that, and for some reason this draft has made me so optimistic about the future, more than i have felt the past 17 years..
In Vegas but I just can't pull the trigger tonight. I thought I would, differing too a small play on Under. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Varejao is doing for GSW what Thompson did for CLE in the first half. Offensive rebounds are pretty much what has this game so close. Sent from my SM-J500M using Tapatalk
Harrison Barnes is a fearless player out there. I think that's the NBA's blueprint to beating the Warriors. Someone has to sign him away. After that, assemble a good team. Sent from my SM-J500M using Tapatalk
I don't think I've ever seen a team take so many bad shots, have so many bad possessions on offense than the Cavaliers in a Finals game. Lue is just not a good coach. Can you imagine Pop, Riley, Phil ever watching his team blow like 8 possessions in a row dribbling aimlessly and throwing up bad shots? They really only needed a few shots to go down for this to be a close game, so many wasted possessions. Horrible basketball.
How nervous was Fin O on that under bet with all the stat padding? I think the point total was 207. Sheesh
If GSW closes out next game, whomever of Barnes, Curry, Igoudala, Green goes off is MVP. That's insane how wide open that race is. Sent from my SM-J500M using Tapatalk
Tristan Thompson truly is a boondoggle. He's $80 million Brandon Bass. More active JJ Hickson. He's a poor man's Bismack Biyombo. Sent from my SM-J500M using Tapatalk
Theyll probably give it to Curry just like peyton manning won an mvp that should have gone to Rhodes..
How hard is it to run the offense through LeBron in the post? High post, low post, whatever. Why is that so hard? He playing too many minutes?
Hell, that looked like LeBron during the '10 Playoffs against Boston, a man that knows he is doomed where he is. He should've never penned that stupid letter. He made his bed, now he must lay in it next to that spineless turd Dan Gilbert.
Most help LeBron has ever had huh Lue?? The man played 45 mins and the ENTIRE 2nd half. Bunch of bums there in Cleveland and he only has himself to blame, he put that clown show together. Just keep pluggin away Pat, we will land that big fish again and rebuild.
Any man who pens a serious letter in comic sans is a man so brave to the point of insanity. Sent from my SM-J500M using Tapatalk
As I said, be careful calling this an actual series. Cavs just don't have what it takes to win. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
C'mon LeBron. The refs? I can't imagine a world where the NBA would want a shortened series. Your team can't miss 11 gimme free-throws at home, and also blame the refs.
THIS was the perfect example of why I HATE Kyrie Irving's game. It is not a "winning" game. Boxscore stats be damned. THIS INSTANCE is WHY Advanced stats matter. The normal stuck in the 90's NBA fan thinks Kyrie played a good game tonight. he didn't. As for Lebron....he diminished himself by that display with Draymond and his post game presser was a bonanza for #TeamPetty In Miami, there was that mantra of "We are a NO excuse team". I guess that was one of the tenants of Heat Culture that LeBron didn't take over to Cleveland.
Erik Malinowski, who covers the Dubs, brought us this number.... Dubs DEATH Lineup (Steph, Klay, Iggy, Barnes, Dray) played 9 minutes in the 2nd half (most of any lineup): OffRtg: 112.5 DefRtg: 36.0 NetRtg: 76.5 That is not a Death lineup. That is a Nuclear Apocalypse lineup.
Gotta give #TeamPetty credit: [video=youtube;cGSZEC_NE6k]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGSZEC_NE6k[/video]
Reminds me of a game 10 years ago or so, when Vince Carter was with the Nets. Reporters were asking him what happened after they'd lost. His answers were, repeatedly: "I don't know. I shot 50%"
Hard to have an issue with Lebron defending himself for once, especially against Draymond "the kick" Green. Lebron has taken a ton of abuse this series....at some point you gotta fight back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
After the way the media talked about us when LeBron was here like we didn't deserve him and made us out be villains and then he went back to Cle and became a media darling again...with a team HE assembled...and he got Blatt fired and handpicked Lue to coach his team...surrounded by his posse and a bunch of players like JR and Love who don't know how to win. With LeBron trying to force these guys to play a certain way so he can ball how he wants to... I really have no sympathy. I'm no fan of Curry and the Dubs and how they play. But the Cavs just don't have what it takes. Theyre a mess of a team that is fortunate to play in a weak East. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
