And if U calling Cavs supporters bandwagon fans, what bout yall GsW's eh.. When did even Gsw start making waves in the NBA, prior to recent years they've been one of the worst teams in NBA if not for curry draft or that monta ellis back then wetin dey make guys watch them? so u all supported the worst ugh?


Abeg make we just enjoy the game as one while it lasts.. Till Oct or Nov now before it begins.. sigh.

Hahaha, you know the answer to that already, a team that last won a ring in 1975 now has a huge fan base last season and this season... Before the ring they won last year, youll only find a warrior fan in oakland, but now omg, a massive bandwagon fan base everywhere. The team that has alot of fans in california before was lakers and clippers, but now its warriors both in cali and every other places.

Changed what You are picking a scrub team to make your point. No one cares about that? Then why do u want cavs to win....cleveland should be ok with the 8 titles now

The fans are desperate for this nba title.. That's all I'm trying to say whether I'm wrong about the title stuff which I accepted I am or not.

Nobody is crying about anything. Bandwagon is not necessarily a bad word depending on the context in which it is used.

I was a bandwagon Spurs fan in 2007 when they played Cleveland because Cleveland had beat the Detroit Pistons 4-2 in the ECFs and between 2001- 2007 I staunchly supported the Pistons.

Bandwagon in this context was because I knew I wouldn't lose sleep if Spurs lost. I just wanted his Travelness to lose that final- and he did.

Just like SmooshCHN said, a bandwagoner is not emotionally invested in the team. They only act in support of the team when the going is good.

You saw posts from me and Mizzzbeee talking about praying for GSW to win certain games. That's emotional investment. You should read posts from A40 when he talks about his beloved Bayern Munich or Sircumalot when he talks about Manchester United.

Again I have nothing against Cleveland bandwagoners but I was just paying Lola in her own coins as she was the one who was so quick to brandish others as bandwagoners, when in actual fact, she is the Mother of all bandwagoners.

Watch her turn ghost Saturday morning as I have predicted again.

Legendary boxer, Olympian, activist, and humanitarian Muhammad Ali passed away last weekend at the age of 74. Widely regarded as “The Greatest,” Ali was a champion both in the ring and across the globe as he fought heavyweight title bouts as well as race and political issues for decades.

The legend’s funeral is being held today, beginning with a procession through his native Louisville. The occasion is meant for those to reflect on his life and achievements, as well as the impact he has made on the American culture as a whole.

Dirk Nowitzki has a unique connection to Ali. In a 2011 interview following the Mavs’ first championship with Spiegel, a German news organization, the Finals MVP revealed the details (translated from German):

SPIEGEL: Did any German politicians call to congratulate you?

Nowitzki: I think that (German Chancellor) Angela Merkel called my adviser. I’m not totally sure. But do you know what made me the happiest?

SPIEGEL: What?

Nowitzki: Muhammad Ali sent me a package.

SPIEGEL: What was in it?

Nowitzki: A boxing glove with the inscription: “You are the greatest.” Please don’t ask me immediately about the political meaning of the gift. I was simply happy and sent Ali a golden basketball with a similar inscription.

Yesterday in Frisco Nowitzki spoke on Ali’s impact.

“He was a pioneer, he was inspirational,” he said. “He was controversial at times, but always stood up for what he believed in, and from that standpoint, (he was) an absolute role model and he meant so much.”

Nowitzki, a notorious sports fan, appreciated Ali’s gift on a deeply personal level. Ali is considered one of the best and most dominant athletes of all-time, so for him to send Nowitzki not only his regards, but also a signed glove, shows the respect was mutual. It’s a gift the Mavericks forward will surely treasure forever.

Ali sent Nowitzki a package after his finals run in 2011. Dawg, I am going to fawking cry, Freaking Hell

The inscription said you are the greatest. Freaking Hell

RIP Ali!

Donlittle:

That's another level of respect.

Looking forward to Game 4 Gentlemen and Ladies.

I have a poll setup for fun. Let's see how you all vote. Obviously it's anonymous and your pride still be intact even if your vote is wrong. Purely for fun.

Also would like feed back on how you like the poll feature. (directed to our emails of course or added to the post)

Here is the link to the poll

Today the Big day.

Lemme start with Steph Curry and the Warriors and what they need to do. Its really simple. Steph needs to come out and show why he is the MVP. If there is one thing I would give LeFlop from time to time he comes out to silence his doubters, this is what Steph must do to climb that stratosphere of the truly elite. He is not taking what the defense is giving him and that is really disappointing to watch. If they chase you from the 3 or make it tough on you then switch to your other strength. Take the goddamn ball to the hoop. I recall the 3rd game in the regular season against the Spurs he did just that after the Warriors were stifled in San Antonio and the results were awesome. The Warriors need him to be Steph, he can't be taciturn and leave this all to fate. He has to impose his will on this game

Secondly if the Cavs go small then Bogut has to go. I think Kerr left him on a little too long in the last game. His lack of mobility really hurt Golden State on both ends

For the Cavs its simple really, don't start Love

clevermob:
I'm so happy I'm seeing this thread, thought I was the only huge bball guy in this football crazy country...I'm guessing the general idea is that Cleveland might be back in the series, what do I think? they can't beat a 73 win team 3 times out of the remaining 4 games...

Welcome. I agree with you though stranger things have happened. This is the game to win if you are the Warriors just to suck the life out of the Cavs

A40:

This thread has always be void of "gender" factor. And she used the "Bandwagon" word than anybody on this thread.

Just a terrible matchup and next to useless when his shots aren't falling. Plus he isn't even great at creating his own shots

I hear you man. I'm sure LeBron secretly wishes they had kept Wiggins.

We either praise curry tonight, or slam the him. Which one is it gonna be?

Cavs are playing good defense this game. Irving been aggressive and balling. Let's see if they win this

Both teams are playing good defense, and curry is doing his job right now, not scoring, but his pass to assist is on point.

I am watching the game. Go Cavs. I must admit, the warriors are quite impressive. But I doubt they take this G4.
