If I were a Cavs fan I'd be looking at a guy like Kristaps Porzingis. He is an upgrade from Love on D. He has crazy upside and would not turn the offense upside down.

Nope. My point is I will always be there to defend him.

Cleveland fans didn't follow him to Miami, they burnt his jersey and cursed him. They knew what would happen not only to the cavs but to the city in general, they weren't wrong.

What about the millions of NBA fans that hate him up till now for doing nothing wrong.

Like iverson warned him "they love you... But they're just waiting"

I love Kobe. My first favorite NBA superstar, many even bron and Jordan fans loved him. Defended him when you know what happened. Imagine if that was LeBron. Nah, no way.

Bookmakers are rarely wrong. In this case they were spot on. Heck, would you have bet on the cavs, be honest. Even as a kingsman with all that hope I wouldn't have. Deep down Watching our D especially when we played the Celtics in game 3 I thought we were going to get swept.

True. But in this case there was a clear favorite. Wasn't even close. It's like Real Madrid Vs Arsenal. One team simply better, the other people think might be good enough to stage an upset but we know that's a long shot from happening.

You forget something. KD! Makes this a completely different monster.

You are talking about Ohioans. The Lebron fan in Shanghai or Obalende would support Golden State even if Lebron went there. Gbagbe story

All the people that used to shout Heat Nation, White Hot Heat are now screaming Defend The Land even while Wade and Bosh were still in Miami

You people are just dwelling unnecessarily on the normal hate that comes with a successful team, athlete, entertainer. It comes with the package. If he was that hated he wouldn't sell the most shoes, jerseys (till Steph came) have the most social media followers of any American athlete, grab the most endorsements. Companies wouldn't pay overwhelmingly hated athletes to sell their product. People love Lebron more than they ever loved Kobe. Truth

Haha don't even go there. People still call Kobe a rapist till this day despite him never being found guilty and the lying a$s woman went away unschathed. I don't know how old you were in 2004 but I was in my teens and I can tell you the Kobe hate was at an all time high. Lakers Fans hated him for allegedly chasing Shaq away (everybody loves Shaq) women and people who knew zilch about basketball hated him for cheating and alleged rape. What you are seeing today is child's play. Belee that

I expected the series to go at least 6 games. I wouldn't bet on the Cavs for the Durant factor and the fact that the Warriors likely would have learned from last year's debacle. I still believed the Cavs had a chance watching how badly Klay and Draymond had been for large swathes of the playoffs compared to Steph and KD. A few Cavs players coasted and didn't show up till it was too little too late. E.g TT and J.R Smith.
Williams, Korver, Frye, Jefferson didn't do enough. The Cavs roster last year was not as deep as this year's. The truth is Durant aside the effort this year was lacking, A 4-1 L for me is unacceptable. Good as Durant is this series had no business ending in 5

The Cavs tried to play like Golden State a little too much

Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:40pm On Jun 14, 2017

Ersan:
Agreed. Lebron leveraged the front office into paying these bums too much. These guys are earning more than curry right now, i know he'll sign a contract soon but right now thats the situation.

Like KD is about to take a pay cut bron should take one too.

Only knicks are desperate enough to take TT and JR (I doubt they will + hes brons buddy) for melo and i honestly dont think melo is the right fit.

It would have to be a three or even four team trade for this to work. We need paul george and love to standard a chance.

That roster was not built for a dynasty IMHO. When you have 5 guys on 8 figure salaries there is going to be a price to pay.

Lebron would likely have Dan Gilbert pay more luxury tax. However the team as it is can't add PG. Something has to give.

Melo would be a disaster for the Cavs. You are better off standing pat. I would let go of the older bench vets if I could. Williams, Frye, Jefferson, Korver if possible and get younger guys who can contribute

The Defense is horrible too. I know they added KD but the Cavs tried to play like Golden State a little too much

I think Hoffenheim is the right spot, Leipzig is a title rival and we shouldnt be giving them more weapons.

Hoffenheim whether in the CL or if they dont qualify in the Europa cup they need all the help and probably will get more opportunities there

Karim Demirbay for now is their best midfielder, they can surely use Gnabry and Renato to fill the spot left by Rudy

I am not sure where Carlo sees Javi Martinez, As a defender or as a midfielder

As at today I will rate our chances of getting Alexis 55% our major selling point is that we are not a league nor CL rival for Arsenal.

I wouldn't be suprised if Leipzig fall off badly next year. They might lose Forsberg and even Naby Keita.

For me the two things I would factor in any loan would be playing time and playing style of the teams they go to

My first choice defensive partnership would still be Boateng and Hummels and I don't believe we would get the best of Javi at CB. The problem now is Javi maybe due to injuries has lost a step and I don't know if he has the mobility to work as a modern DM like he used to. Injury na bast@rd

The Sanchez matter don dey tire me. I would draw a line in the sand for Sanchez and his agent. Because if we are being factual the wage demand is obnoxious. Infact with Tuchel gone tempting Dortmund with a €70m bid for Dembouz suddenly looks appealing

This was exactly the same report I got from another forum

"From what little I have seen and read, he will play as the DM, Alonso's replacement if you will. He possesses a good shot, is good with the long passes and has good pace. He could also cover Vidal's role in a double pivot alongside Thiago."

His transfer fee between 37-40M and he is young also

If we can get Alexis Sanchez, loan out Gnabry and Renato to Hoffenheim. I think I can call this a good summer

If Costa leaves that provides funds for a Sanchez deal. I have heard Wenger almost swear he is not selling Sanchez to City even if it means leaving on a free next year.

Our midfield lineup I would be really keen to see. I heard Tolisso is more of a Box to Box guy and his numbers suggests this too. Maybe he is used interchangeably with Vidal and we play Javi at DM

--Thiago--Javi---Tolisso---

--Thiago--Vidal---Tolisso---

As for Renato and Gnabry my worry is if these clubs would give them playing time. There has to be some clause in their contract ensuring this. Hoffenheim would be the perfect club to send them too. They need as much help as they can get to represent Germany in the CL and escape into the Group stage

I've seen this somewhere before. Its unfortunate we may have to give up love, i want to eat my cake and have it. I want a big 4, not a big 3.

Thanks to Lebron and his posse that will most likely not happen. JR Smith has no business being on an 8 figure salary, TT too tbh, Lebron has earned his $100m/3 but you could argue that maybe he could have taken a little bit less. Kevin Love a little bit less than $120m/5

It is almost a given that a big earner has to leave to make any sort of room for PG

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by A40(m): 9:29am On Jun 14, 2017

I have heard nothing but good reviews about Tolisso. The way Chelsea fans are wailing makes it seem we have gotten a decent deal. Looking at the youtube the guy get shot for leg oh. And he is very mobile but suprisingly good passing range

14 goals and 7 assists in 47 games from central midfield is no joke

I like the direction we are going. A 22 year old

Well Seb's lead has been halved. Disastrous start but heroic finish from Seb. People who used to say he can't race now look stewpid everyday. Montreal is Hamilton's playground so his W didn't suprise me one bit

The Scuderia and Seb need to show up every race with their A-game. Seb needs to be sharper on his starts. He should realize by now he is essentially racing two cars and try to get on pole when he can, he made a few mistakes in qualifying that cost him pole

Good. Stop shitting on lebron.

Don't be so sensitive mate

VomeSchakleton:
His haters far exceed his lovers. You know this. Like someone posted, people dont care warriors won. All they care is that lebron lost.

Do you know the millions upon millions of fans that ran from Cleveland to Miami to Cleveland again? Nobody even talks about the Heat anymore. People love Lebron. Forget

You people just like Lebron have martyr complex. You rarely hear Kobe and the GOAT fans talk about hate. Our faves embraced the hate and the fans emulated that mindset. Kobe was even more hated than Lebron, go and do your research.

VomeSchakleton:
Before the start of the series. Its not just them, its bookmakers and prediction algorithms as well. Analysts can be subjective but these indicators are precise.

You are not a betting man so you might not realize that in sports 1+1 does not always equate to 2.

Ridiculous predictions like that is how we chop bookmakers from time to time. Those odds are prohibitive and not totally in tune with reality as the games showed

VomeSchakleton:
Best offensive team with as
good a defense as anyone vs
a strong offensive team with
no D. Lets be honest, it was
always gonna end this way
unless the warriors choked.
The ball was always in their
court.

Its rare for two teams to ever go into a matchup with the exact same strength. It is likely one is more favored than the other or stronger than the other in some areas no matter what. I liken these Finals to the Pacman vs Mayweather fight. Floyd might have been the favorite but had Manny won you won't catch me calling it an upset.

The Cavs were 8-11 vs Golden State going into this matchup. 5 of those 19 games the Cavs were without Love and Kyrie

VomeSchakleton:
He gets all the praise because with what hes given its his greatness that helps them thrive. If they dont then they werent expected too in the first place.

Its his greatness that allows Kyrie drop 40+ pts in multiple Finals games? Or Mike Miller drop 7 3's in a Finals game? You can't have it both ways mate. He can't get credit for role players doing their job and be free from blame when they don't

VomeSchakleton:
The heats werent the best team in the league, not by a long shot. Even if they were (They weren't), they didnt add the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league to make things even worse.

They were the best team in the league. Its erroneous to claim the Bulls who punched above their weight were better. Their 2nd best player was goddamn Luol Deng. Don't use no fluky 1 season show to obscure the view. 3 All stars! They didn't call them the Heatles for show

VomeSchakleton:
KD+Curry+Thompson can but they dont have to. Their bench and role players are great. We have deron williams

Thompson couldn't he was shyte all series. Lol only two guys worth a damn on that Warriors bench. Iggy and Livingston

Depends on your generation. You would understand when you get older. To some Drake is better than Nas. Sport like art is always subjective. But when you shit on other's favorites then expect feedback

VomeSchakleton:
Ronaldo, another much hated GOAT. But no, for every hater ronaldo has, he has 2 fans. He is quite loved.

Lebron has like 50million followers on Twitter. He ain't that hated. I have friends who can take a bullet for Lebron. He's sorta like John Cena. You either really love him or really hate him

VomeSchakleton:
2014. This year? according to ESPN's numbers the cavs had a 7 percent chance of winning.

After they went 3-0 down most likely. If its before which I doubt then it would explain why ESPN is in crisis right now

No team he's ever been on compares to this warriors team. As a matter of fact, take him out of the teams and put anyone else in his place, what are they?

That is the problem we have with you Lebron fans. You people are never consistent. He gets all the praise when it goes well but he is above blame when it doesn't

How you are feeling now is how the rest of the league felt about that Miami Heat team from 2010 to 2014

I'm challenging you now to bring out any 3 man combination from the Warriors that would generate the 80pt average that the Cavs big 3 did.

Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:53pm On Jun 13, 2017

VomeSchakleton:
What convinced me even more about LeBrons greatness is the stu.pid arguments your blind witness put forth about Jordan. If what you lot have been arguing is what makes him the goat then he's no goat at all. That's what this mind deduced. If people didn't hate him so much they'd see that too, probably the most hated athlete in the world and for no reason.

Jordan has always been his idol. To surpass your idol, nothing better. He's just happy to be in the conversation. He's winning.

And this year? The Spurs? SMH

If Lebron is your preference that is perfectly OK. There are people that also think Lil Wayne is better than Nas. Don't disrespect the GOAT by tagging him a flat track bully and act distressed when shyte is thrown at your Queen.

It is pointless to cry about hate. I doubt he is as hated as Ronaldo, even KD it can be argued has faced more hate this year alone than Bron ever did. Mamba was hated even by Lakers fans. The best athletes all get hate same way they get groupie love and the love of the creepy kind (check Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright). Its a yin and yang situation and sports would be boring without it

Which Spurs? 07? I included them already. This year? No way Jose! That team had a shot.

Take balls to realize that there is no such thing and even more to say it out loud against all adversity.

There is nothing ballsy about wilful ignorance

A more intelligent mind would try to find out what was it about the GOAT that made him the Greatest. Even your Queen aspires to be him.

2007 and 2015 are the only two Finals I can point to and say Lebron did not have a prayer. The rest could have gone either way and no amount of noise would wipe those 3 L's from his C.V.

Lebron critics are just fighting fire with fire. I don't believe there is any true hoops fan who doesn't respect his talents and feats. You were not here circa 07-09 when I was on this forum defending Lebron from even worse Lebron haters.
