2006 FA Centers

And you TJ, are good for a laugh as well!!! That love child bit, nice, and the Croc hunter joke, priceless. I just hope Karma is around, to testify to the real life in the Outback.....(damn hes probably drunk on Fosters by now....)

You say Bogut can match up with Z!? I hope they 'match up' all nite, until the point Karma is ashamed to be Austrailian. I like the new avatar by the way, but a pic of Barney would be more intimidating......

And Bradley is better than the "Wild Thing"?! Pahlease, Bradley is a carnival attraction and you know it.

Cavalier fans, let us not be angry, but show mercy to TJ. After all, he is a Bucks fan. He must hype Redd and Bogut, because without that, he would be bragging about how he adores 'beertown'. You know he would trade the Bucks starting lineup for 'LeYoung', and when playoff time rolls around he will be talkin about how the Bucks just 'couldnt catch a break'. TJ please post here the day after all Cavs Bucks games. It could be a sobering experience.

TJ, you have to research what the bread lines were like in the Soviet satellite states during the downfall of Communism. I'd take the crocs and jellyfish anyday. And this is why I wanted Jasikevicius for the past three years.

Oh yeah, I have a lot of respect for players from the Soviet block. Hard times build character. Jasikevicius may have helped you guys with the intangibles. I don't think the Cavs have a true team leader at this point. LeBron will be that at some point, but he's too young and inexperienced to be labeled team leader in the true sense. Eric Snow is about as close as the Cavs come but I don't think he can walk the walk anymore.

 

[highplainsdrifter]

LeBron is not a team leader!!!! The Chosen One!!! You will regret the day you doubted LeBron........(it will be the day after the Bucks play the Cavs..........)

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

Oh i'll be here HPD. Count on it!

But you do realize that the Cavs have more questions than the Riddler don't you? Here are a few of them that I tossed out at my favorite delusional Cav fan over on my Bucks board:

Who is the leader of the Cavs? No one on the Cavs but LeYoung and Eric No (who can't walk the walk) even have leadership as a personality trait. Larry "the mime" Hughes shows about as much emotion on the court as George Washington does on the quarter in your pocket. Donyell Marshall loves the background. Damon Jones is a glory hound. And Big Z defers to LeYoung.

How will Mike Brown lead a team to the playoffs with no head coaching experience? Relying on Gooden and Marshall as backup centers is not a good sign.

Outside of Donyell Marshall, who is the impact player on the Cavs bench? Luke Jackson, Sasha Pavlovic, Anderson Verajao (when healthy), Eric No, and Alan Henderson couldn't win the WNBA title. Pray for an injury free season Cav Nation.....oops it's too late.

Why couldn't all-stars LeYoung James and Slothzunas Ilkoala lead the Cavs to ONE big win down the stretch last season to save your playoff chances?

So many questions...even Frank Gorshin is like Whoa!

Once again TJ, thanks for coming in and turning this into a Milwaukee Buck fan underates Cleveland thread whilst overating his unproven team. I am a big Bogut fan. I have defended him over and over again to the doubters. But right now he is nowhere in the league of Ilgauskas. Z would school him over and over again. The fact LeBron is 100 times a player then anyone on your squad plus the addition of Hughes, Marshall and Jones to our already better team then yours makes your arguements weak. The fact you said the "retired" Bradley as an option just confirms how clueless you can at times be. You mention how underated Gadzuric is with his rebounds per 48 minutes, then you diss Henderson who was 2nd in the NBA with boards per 48 minutes. Keep up the hypocrisy son!

 

[highplainsdrifter]

You are a great trash talker TJ! Seriously, made me laugh. Love Zs nickname and the quarter crack, anyone who can make me laugh is cool with me.

The leader of the Cavs is of course LeBron. Yes hes young, but mature beyond his years. And he joined the prestigious 25-7-7 club last season. He was born to do this stuff. Hes still not in his prime, but can carry a franchise. Snow is more of a role player than a leader i would say, but has that veteran experience. Z doesnt like the limelight and hes more reserved, but he lets his game do the talkin and will be a force to be reckoned with. I also think Hughes will step up nicely and lead the team with LeBron. Those 2 are our 'core'.

Yes the end of last years season was very disappointing. The coaching staff was unstable, chemistry tarnished, Z hurt his hand, tough schedule, LeBron playing 48 minutes. I think it may have been a good thing, cuz we wouldve been swept by Miami anyways. LeBron has experienced losing, and now he knows what it takes. And now he finally has some help with the additions of Hughes, Marshall, and DJones. They will not choke again this season, thats an RCF Guarantee!!!

And thank you Debbie Downer for coming in and throwing cold water on some fun exchanges. Why take everything so seriously?

Just for you Karma, since you think TJ is "clueless" in his assessment of your beloved Cavs, i'm going to post my unbiased preview of the Cavs (originally posted last month on my Bucks board) since you appear to be in the mood for more "straight" Cav talk. The series was called 30 Teams in 30 Days (an obvious but effective rip from ESPN).

If "objective" = "clueless", then i'll be that.

 

[Karma]

Right on TJ. Sorry if I dont find you come on here deliberately bating members here fun. You just come here to draw on negatives of the Cavs whilst pimping your squad. I for one appreciate other fans opinions. However not when they just come here with an agenda. Go on, give the players stupid nicknames to hide your baseless arguements.

 

[highplainsdrifter]

Dont mess with Karma TJ! He is the cousin of Crocodile Dundee and an ancestor of an Aboriginal shaman. He will turn you into a koala and toast your feeble form with a Toohey's! (thats beer mate)

 

[PIP]

TJ must have said something negative about "Z"

Karma is usually reserved and doesn't get that animated until the big man is involved...

Your in the Dog House now TJ :chuckles:

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

Thanks for the heads up HPD. I've got a ton of Aussi jokes but Karma appears to be a little too stiff and surly today to appreciate a little levity mixed with some genuine objectivity. It's not like I said the Cavs won't make the playoffs, I do have them as the 6th seed and beating Jersey in the first round. The Z cracks are valid. He's extremely slow in transition.

Well then, a peace offering to the Z fan club. The upside:

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

The Downside:

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

All joking aside, I think Z is the Cavs' most indispensable player. The Cavs, as presently constituted, can win games WITHOUT Lebron James. However, without Z, the Cavs are a lottery team. While Lebron will certainly put up 25-6-6, the play of Ilgauskas more than anyone else will determine how far the Cavs go this season. Ilgauskas is the team's true MVP. Can he bring it every night is the only question.

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

Too bad a return to the fold is not in order for glue guy Tractor Traylor. Tractor embodied the Cavs passion and physicality last season. Not retaining this enforcer could come back to haunt this team, health notwithstanding. Jahidi White is no Tractor, imo.
