Let it all out. The Cavaliers Rant Thread

[Mr. Orange]

Fuck this entire organization. What a miserable end to that game. Here come the fuck you awards to the Cavs.

Fuck you Chris Grant...You were shit at your job. Literally made 1 decent draft pick in Kyrie and could have done better if you were a monkey throwing darts. Oh and you hired Mike fucking Brown again? And gave big contracts to Jarrett Jack and Bynum? You fucked us,

Fuck you Dan Gilbert...for creating a culture of fear, a culture of chaos, and for being a miserable drunken dwarf. Stay out of the basketball decisions. You think you can build a team without LeBron? You think you don't need him? Fuck you man. You and Truck Stop Jimmy prey on the poor. You ain't getting a dollar out of my ass. I hope your empire crumbles.

Fuck you Ty Lue. You have no plan, no system, no fire. Why in fucks sake are we posting up TT when down 12 in a Finals game? Is that the fucking plan? Why do guys stand around on offense? Why can't we know our defensive assignments in June? Why do you give guys rope, bad shot after bad shot, bad pass after bad pass, lazy defense, out of control ball movement? I want your ass gone.

Fuck you David Griffin...I don't know what happened, but why didn't you trade Kyrie for CP3, knowing what you knew? Why isn't Delly on this team?

Fuck you Koby Altman....just fuck you. What were you possibly thinking? Of course this was going to be a year the Nets played hard while 10 other teams tanked. Of course IT was damaged goods. You got conned by Danny and fleeced by the Lakers. Moron.

Fuck you Kyle Korver....for being a giant pussy choke artist in the Finals. You took your game 3 2017 performance and decided to try that shit out for 4 games in 2018. You suck. Why would you even attempt that pass to Nance Jr who was double teamed in the post?

Fuck you Clarkson. You steaming pile of horseshit. Tunnel vision, can't hit an open shot to save your life, out of control, and shit on defense. I can't believe you make what you make.

Fuck you Kevin Love. Show some fucking fire. You big stay-puft soft piece of shit. Bang bodies, get fucking pissed.

Fuck you Jeff Green. Why do you take so many bad shots? Why do you move like you are in quicksand? Why do you show no emotion?

Fuck you George Hill...I saw you shitting yourself. You don't want the shot. You don't want this moment. You are an 80% FT shooter but when they count, little George fills the diaper. Thanks for costing us game 1.

Fuck you JR...I love you man, but it's time for a break up. We just want different things. I want a high IQ basketball player. You just want to put up shots outside of a system.

Fuck you TT...why haven't you learned to shoot in 8 years? Just put up 1000 shots a day. Sigh.

Fuck you Kyrie Iriving...you are a snake and you totally fucked us. And for what?? You aren't even the man in Boston now! That is a Tatum/Brown team!. They are not going to respond to you BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A LEADER. Fuck off.

Fuck off Kevin Durant. You still have 0 championships as far as the old heads are concerned. You get no respect from the basketball fans.

LeBron...ok you're still cool. You are too good at the game to deserve us, but why string us along? Just sign a 5 year max and let's retool. Sure hope this isn't the end. 8 Finals in a row. You are the GOAT.

No rant

We won a title

Motherfuckas said we wouldn’t

Fuck is there to rant about

 

[Jake]

Outside of LBJ, what a poor excuse for a team. Look at the fkin numbers for the rest of these clowns, worse than pitiful. A bunch of part timers and no shows. A total mess.

 

[Dr. Claw]

Chris Grant deserves the biggest Fuck You. The Warriors could have not happened if reached for Klay at 4 in 2011 and didn't draft Dion. His non-Kyrie drafting is 90% of the frustration we're seeing now. If w/same picks, 2011-14 is: Kyrie, Klay, Drummond (or Middleton), Giannis, they're a 2014 first round playoff exit, and most of all... No Warriors. LeBron still comes back in 2014, no need to trade for Love, no need to get the 2 Knicks United, dominance of the NBA for at least 3 out of 4 seasons.

 

[Dr. Claw]

and I'm still mad Kyrie got traded. Already I'm seeing the spin about the reasons why.

It sounds like you are saying that having a GM that can spot talent is vital to the success of an organization ..... wow, who would have ever thought it (We are talking about you Dan Gilbert).

All time post right here. Opened the thread all worked up to rant but this post says it all

 

[Dr. Claw]

as for the Jarrett Jack/Bynum deals... I swear that was Dan Gilbert insisting playoffs. that Chris Grant line was the best of Mr. Orange's post. Bringing back Mike Brown... for what? He wasn't the reason the Cavs won 60+ games. Drafting Dion Waiters at 4 but passing up on Klay at the same spot the year prior. GRRRRR.... if not for Kyrie I would have seriously considered bandwagoning the Spurs or something

Thank goodness LeBron saw how good Kyrie was, because clearly the front office did not.

 

[-Akronite-]

I'm honestly not mad. Swept sucks, especially when Game 1 was ours and it was stripped away from us. But I'll take it, because we basically met expectations. Once Kyrie wanted out, it was a question whether we'd even make it back to the Finals.

Sure, it would've been nice to steal one or to pull off some miracle of miracles, but look, we got to watch the best player on the planet lead us to:

4 straight 50+ win seasons
4 straight Eastern Conference titles
& the greatest NBA championship of all time

Were we a mega-dynasty? No, but so many of us begged for just one title for years, we got so much out of this group.

Injuries, a punk-ass KD, and an enigmatic Kyrie held us back some, but I'm not sitting here full of regret. LeBron is probably gone, but I don't feel the need to be greedy.

Long term we got some shit to sort out, but we kept LBJ's finals streak alive, beat those fuckers from Boston, and we'll always have 2016. I'd rather have that than a couple hollow trophies.

You can't mention Chris Grant Fuck you without including Anthony Bennett. Just look at the first 15 picks in the draft for that year. Anyone except Bennett is a starter or a bench player in the NBA even today and we picked the one guy who sucks so much that he is not even in the NBA. This is worse than the Browns taking Manziel @ #22.

[Gus Zing]

LeBron averaged 34/12/10....in 3 finals losses against the Warriors. FUCK THOSE GUYS.

 

[Jake]

I'm still pissed as hell about JR and TT inability to show up when we needed you fkrs the most. LBJ got you two paid (in error) and you ain't did nothing but coast since. We could of got a couple of random D league players to out perform these clowns.

 

[Ruken]

I just cannot get over how totally we fucked up the Kyrie trade. We ended up literally agreeing to the worst trade possible and it’s so frustrating. LBJ can walk and I don’t blame him at all.

I will say though, I think if he stays, between trading love and the 8th pick, we can seriously retool always by with the young guys getting a full training camp.

New coach goes without saying.

Same here. I could live with missing out on championships if the Cavs didn't go to 4 straight finals. But 3 losses to Those Assholes, all 3 of which really need the asterisk really piss me off.

and then they traded the guy who said this:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgH1cx1u4MQ


until after the title for reasons I highly suspect have to do more with trading him rather than him "being the man"

yes, I know "after the title". but after his role IN that title win.... he should have been untradeable.

Kyrie had the option to leave in 2014, AFTER they drafted horribly and they were still in the lottery and he stayed. I remember his tweet after this. Then LeBron came back. It was like the greatest moment ever... until 2 years later. So as far as I'm concerned he definitely held on to his word.

This front office. Fuck you Chris Grant so much.
