Cavs/Lebron

So here we go again...cavs run roughshod over the league in the regular season, lebron wins mvp, and now they have been established as favorites to win the championship.

So after they lose again to magic or los lakers, we'll all start to hear about how Danny Ferry doesn't give Lebron any help, or they don't have a swingman to guard Rashad Lewis, or "imagine if Lebron had Kobe's supporting cast"...

Sick of the hype. Let Lebron win a ring before we canonize him as greatest thing since birth control.

Signed- disrespected laker fan

Actually Ferry may have been responible for on of the best gm efforts of all time so I think your reaching with that one this year
Maybe laker fans should talk about lebron AFTER they have to face him

I think the excuses will be comming from laker fans this year, cavs team is much better then last year

A thread wanting the lakers to get more attention should be signed "typical lakerfan" lol

this isn't the same cavs team as last year. this time they have SHAQ.

and lets be honest here...

dwight howard is scared of shaq

bynum/gasol are scared of shaq

yes, shaq is old. but this is a mental thing with these big men. they still see the shaq of old when they do against him.

i think shaq will be the difference here and the cavs will win the championship.

but i hope i'm wrong and the lakers totally rape them

do you read or just wait for your turn to speak?

what did he say that wasnt true...or did you just dismiss them because hes a clip show fan?

couldnt your original post be taken as simply homer laker talk?

to think the cavs havent upgraded since last year is silly

The team that's getting no respect is Orlando.

To suggest that Cleveland is not a better team than last year is silly.

To suggest that the Lakers are not respected is nonsense. I welcome all Oklahoma City fans to the playoffs...here are a few pointers for you first timers that will help you.....Laker get all the whistles. Always.

No mention of the Magic as a realistic threat to repeat or challenge? Now, that's the true meaning of no respect!

But, i think the NBA really needs a Kobe/Lebron Finals. It's time, if it doesn't happen, I won't watch again this year

Mike Brown (Cavs Coach) = Professor Klump (Nutty Professor)

Give Coach Brown his dues, he might not be the best game time coach, maybe not even average. Although he might be the best prep coach. The Cavs will be ready, as coach Brown is one of the best defensive coaches in the the game. On the floor though THE KING runs the show. This will be his year.
9th and Prospect, the next banner will read "NBA CHAMPIONS".
"He was born here, He was raised here, He plays here, He stays here."

Cavs will not win the title, field is -185, someone else takes it, I think there's 8 teams with realistic chance to win it, even san antonio dallas phoenix or boston can win it all.

Hell there are actually 16 teams with a realistic chance to win it all. But when it comes down to the final four we all know the only wild card is the second team in the west. Cavs, Magic, Lakers and ?. BTW the league is losing its popularity again needs to get it back, the NBA needs LeBron and Howard and Kobe there for the ratings.
