NBA Playoffs Thread

I feel real bad for LeBron Wallahi, two back-to-back MVPs and two back-to-back seasons of having the #1 W-L record in the league...yet two disappointing seasons with back-to-back early exits. I thought they figured things out by bringing Shaq in for a big body presence and Antawn Jamison in to take some of the offensive pressure off of LBJ...but dayum, Boston in 6? I dunno if it's cuz Cleveland flopped or Boston held it down on both ends of the floor.

Still, I say LeBron stays in Cleveland...not in spite of this disaster, but because of it. He grew up in Akron, Ohio, and doesn't wanna leave the State under these circumstances and without a championship. The taste in his mouth is too bitter and I'm sure he wants to rinse it out with champagne while holding a championship in the Q. Besides, the last 7 years in Cleveland where he literally single-handedly turned the franchise around would be overshadowed by the way he left, and that would unfairly become his legacy.

Excellent analysis YF but the million dollar question is which superstar is willing to come to CLeveland in hunt for championship?

[Mr. Yungnfresh]

A better question is....who wouldn't wanna play with LeBron?

What have has been said for years in Washington? Jamison has absolutely no impact when it comes to playing winning basketball. He can certainly score and he can grab some rebounds but his horrible defense infects the rest of team and it offsets any positive contributions he makes. Maybe you can get by with him starting in the regular season but when it comes to playing elite competition, you're destined to fail if you got Jamison playing 35 minutes a night at PF. I saw that shiggidy first hand from 2004-2010

[Moguul21]

I'm sure a lot good players willing to play with Lebron but few want to come to cleveland, do you remember what Noah said bout Cleveland, that place is horrible

[Moguul21]

Scale 1 to 10

O'neil 6
Jamison 4
Moon 3
Williams 7
West 3
Varejoa 5

Shaq is winner here he earned 20Mil and did not win a jack

[FAH1223]

that was the last year of his $100 million contract from when he got it with the Heat

and the Cavs are hooked onto Jamison's salary

muwahaha

no salary cap for the cavs, they are screwed

[Mr. Yungnfresh]

Moguul, Joakim Noah is a joker. He was just tryna get under Cleveland fans' skin and it worked . The thing is though, most players aren't in the NBA to be in a particular city...they're there to win championships. If it was on like that, they'd just retire from ball and live in whatever city they want cuz they're already rich...at the very least, they could afford to vacation every other week wherever they want. Sure, there are certain places like Orlando, LA, Miami etc. where players prefer to play AND win championships, but no one is gonna avoid a franchise with championship potential or sign with a city either.

Fah, you still salty over what happened with Jamison every single year he played for Washington

Jamison's 20 & 10 was good but he cost us so many times even when he did score 30 points...with his lousy defense

Word on the street is, Delonte West is bangin' LeBron's mom and thats the reason why he couldn't focus. Crazy shid

[Mr. Yungnfresh]

lol I heard that rumour from Terez Owens...ha u bixin, LeBron lost cuz he didn't have teammates. Your boy Antawn shitted on the Cavs franchised and shoulda been fined for missing every game of the second round.

Y'all cleared mad cap space for the offseason..knowing the Wizards front office, you'll probably blow it on a max contract for Ricky Rubio

We got Ted Leonsis as the owner. The Polin family is finally gone, a new era is in DC. If we do well in the lottery on Tuesday, the bad luck is over

Ted Leonsis has done wonders with the Washington Capitals

BTW, that LeBron Moms and Delonte Rumor:
