LeBron Leaves Arena Without Talking to Media....

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I will say this for Lebron and the hand shaking thing...to me, it looked like he was pissed about the threes being jacked at the end of the game. Hedo jacked one and then the worst was Howard. Lebron started waliking toward him (I thought to congrat) when he had the ball, assuming he was going to run out the clock, but insteaded jacked that three...looked to me like lebron stopped and just walked off after that.

Very much agree. It may very well by my own bias as a Cavs fan, but I thought LeBron was less than pleased with Howard's behavior, and I noticed that as well. Perhaps it was LeBron just being pissed about the loss, but it did seem to me James thought Howard was acting a fool.
 
OK, we need a Center that can slow Howard down and/or give him problems. We can't let him have huge 40-point nights...we need an athletic PF here that can get us points on the low block and possibly as a bonus help spread the floor with 3PT shooting, whether we trade for a star type player like Bosh/Amare, sign 'Sheed whatever or we wait and hopefully have Hickson make huge breakthroughs to be our starting PF...

I think that's all we really need to do to get that championship...upgrade our frontcourt...
 
On the positive side for SHAQ.....

Coming to Cleveland would motivate him and he would be a matchup with Howard in a Playoff series.

Negatives....

He makes a ton of money....but only next year. He only makes $8 million more than Wallace....so you are really already paying that money anyway to Wallace....

Sasha and Wallace for Shaq works.....heck that was the deal at the deadline, right?

You're pretty much already locked in to that money with Sasha and Ben, right? I'm pretty sure even an OLD, part-time Shaq would have been a better fit than those two.

WOW.

That was quick. It took, oh, 30 seconds after the game ended for everyone to start worrying about LeBron leaving?

Seriously?

We blew through everybody in the regular season and the first two rounds, ran into a hot team that was a horrible matchup for us, didn't make the proper adjustments to counter those bad matchup problems, got poor contributions from the supporting case AS A WHOLE for basically THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, and it's this:

Ferry's gotta do something.
Shoulda got Shaq.
Z should retire.
Brown should be fired.
Our starting backcourt is too small.
Everybody needs to go.

Am I disappointed? Absolutely.

Am I pissed? Yep, that too

Is this season a failure? I guess.

But, in the end, I'll be pissed tonight, probably not read the paper tomorrow morning, probably not watch ESPN for a day or two until the subject changes............but that's it.

That's it.

If we would have won, I would have been really happy for a few days, would have taken a day off and gone to the parade, would have bought a bunch of championship T-shirts, posters, all that shit. But, within a week or so, back to more important things in life - and I'm happy to say that there are ALOT more important things in life than Cavaliers basketball, as diehard as I am.

Do we need to get better? Sure, and I think we will.

Is LeBron going to leave? I don't know. I don't think so. I hope not.

Try this one on for size: If LeBron couldn't win with this "shitty" supporting cast (who did get their asses kicked in this series) that won 66 games and steamrolled through the first half of the playoffs, then how many titles will he win with that ragtag bunch in NY? David Lee (maybe), Nate Robinson, Chris Duhon, and the boys are a LeBron away from winning a Championship? Oh wait, they may draft Stephan Curry (who couldn't get a mid-major into the dance this year). That will put them over the top.:rolleyes:

If he wants to be a legitimate contender year-in, year-out, he'll stay.

Either way, why do so many of you allow your lives to be consumed with if LeBron is going to leave? Somebody please answer me that.

As a fan, I want him to stay badly - I want him to finish his career here. But, if he leaves, he leaves.

He isn't paying my mortgage. Are some of you getting money from him? Am I out of the loop?

It's really sad to see so many people allow this to affect their lives. Honestly, I want some explanations. How does your life improve if LeBron stays? Maybe I'm missing something.

Dude, GTFO.

It's REALCAVSFANS.com, what, you expect us to all just go "Ah yeah if Lebron leaves he leaves! Wooo! Rainbows and fuzzy bunnies!"

What a joke.
 
Take the "this means he's leaving us" to the ESPN boards.

I agree that we can't go out and get more old, former stars. We need youth AND talent. Age begets injury and other wear-n-tear. Kidd and Hill would've been nice THIS YEAR. Shaq? This series!

And with Sheed...well, I just don't know how to feel about it. Also getting older, but would be more like a KG deal. One year, he would be great. The next? He could easily break down. Still, I don't know if I like seeing Sheed in wine and gold.
 
Anyone who doesn't think the difference between having Shaq or Ben Wallace (in an identical role) this series, is fooling themselves. Shaq would've been huge.

Well, I like the Cavs. Now that we've been treated to a Hall of Fame player and the greatest athlete in Cleveland history since Jim Brown, I can't imagine life without him.

With all the other problems that go on in my life, sports help ease those problems. Can you admit that? Having Lebron even eases those blows more.

I'm still not sure what branch of troll you are, my money is on Lakers (although there are a couple decent LA people here). You may even be a Cavalier troll who is just stupid. At a time where Cavs fans are upset and feeling down, I was not going to go into attack mode tonight.

But, I really have grown tired of your stupid posts. Your snide, needling comments have gone on for awhile now and they are not appreciated. If you cannot contribute anything to this forum other than negativity and rudeness then please:

Would you guys want Grant Hill over Sasha/Wally? I would not. Too old.

Easy...because LeBron IS the Cavs of today. This is different from being a band-wagon fan, however, because LeBron basically assures that the Cavs will be a perennial contender every single year - no matter how bad the rest of the roster is. If the Cavs lose LeBron, they lose everything. I don't know how to make that more clear.

Now, if you phrased your questions to be about the Cavs rather than LeBron, then I agree that some people care too much...but who can blame them?
 
well, hopefully we win the title next year, the first year of the new decade. Lebron's decade.

Wow Windhorst slamming Z on KNR.

Z was a no-show tonight.

Even the games when he played well on offense, his defense was not good. And he never once got PHYSICAL with Howard all series long.

He has hit Rik Smits territory. Part-time player, can play alot some nights when matchups are good for him and play less when matchups are not in his favor.
 
Now here's names I like: Trevor Ariza, Shawn Marion, Ron Artest, Al Harrington, Carlos Boozer (no), RFA Paul Milsap, Andrej Kirilenko, David Lee, Hakim Warrick
