2012 Finals !!

[KilgoreTrout]

Yet another sad day in the history of Cleveland Sports is going to happen.

What shall we call THIS one?

I'm think, maybe, "The Nut-Stomp".

Absolutely true - But if the HEAT win then it will set a trend to the formation of superteams and that will mean that many small team franchises will suffer while a few big market teams will succeed. Oh and we Cavs can never compete cos Kyrie will then be forced to seek out a big team if he ever wants to compete for a ring.

Can we be real for one second. Just, one second?

No, this will not happen. Does anyone really believe this is going to happen? Do you all have any idea how much collusion and how much luck and just how much was needed to go right for those three to team in Miami? If you think that is going to start happening all over the NBA....just ... wow.

Also Westbrook and Durant only got to the line a combined 3 times.....

Its seems like the criticism got to Wesbtrook and he didn't get in the paint as much. I also saw him pass up a few decent shots.

Not that it means anything but the team that was leading 2-1 in the other two Heat NBA Finals series lost. Not that it means anything now though. As far as everyone panicking about the Heat winning the ship please chill out. It's not the end of the world and really did you seriously think he wasn't going to win? I mean outside of Gilbert's horrible prediction how does this affect us?

if it didn't bother you that much and it wasn't the end of the world then you wouldn't have OKC's badge in your avatar would you?

Honestly, I see the NBA heading the other way. Kevin Love, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, etc. have all stayed on their respective teams (and have the personality that makes me think they wont leave) and are the future of the NBA given how young they are.

I'd like to slap whoever thanked you that one time.

Also Battier is now shooting .733 for the Finals.

And Spo has made about 3 or so HUGE adjustments since Game 1 while Brooks has made just the simple in game stuff.

Hack-a-Haslem ?

Once you have a proven winning formula, there will be many that will want to follow it.

blah. obviously not a good night. but it is funny to take a step back and watch your guys mayhem.

If you watched the game you would immediately know.

But im on mobile. Search youtube for wade reverse lay up and sort by upload date.

I dont have the entire game on recall in my mind. Do you have any information that could help my recollection. Quarter? Who was the foul called on? etc....

Bottom line calls are made.....you and others hate the Heat so all questionable calls are labeled cheating or bad or something else. It is what it is. If you've played the game you know some calls go against you and if you were looking at the game from a Heat point of view you'd likely see calls go against you that you questioned as well.

KD has to play smart knowing how vital he is to the team. So he cant be reaching, making late attempts to draw charges, and holding and grabbing. 1 questionable call didnt get him 4.

I'm not so sure. I really, really, really think LeBron is going to come back in 2014. Everybody wins:

- LeBron gets his off-court credibility back (and his 2nd ring)
- Cleveland gets a championship
- Dan Gilbert makes a shit ton of money
- The NBA gets a "homecoming" storyline to bank off of

i said it before but i'm not convinced lebron will be willing to make the (mostly off-court) sacrifices that are likely necessary to come back.

i do hope it happens though. seeing the press conference with lebron, kyrie, #4, and another lottery pick in 2013 would just be ridiculously awesome. lots of time before then though and i am more concerned about the cavs possibly fucking it up in the meantime.

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

If people are smart, which they're not, they won't write anything about Cleveland. What the hell does this series have to do with us?

We should honestly just get over it. I know it sucks but man, we should all just focus on the Cavaliers and the team they're building. The Heat will be on their way out by the time the Cavs are relevant again.

yea...

Somehow Cavs fans are always the ones that have to "Get over it" when these people will go write about Cleveland anyways.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

The only way LeBron comes back to Cleveland is if Gilbert sells the team.
