Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

I'll say this, Jamison failed big time in that series.

That's true...but...

well, it doesn't really matter. Tomorrow...or, well, today is a new day. Hope the Cavaliers pursue an aggressive rebuild.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

Booed off the floor? I was at all the cavs playoff games this year, if we chanted MVP, or other Lebroon chants any louder, we would all be deaf. You watch to much local TV man, or listen to bad info. There was one time I saw lebron get maybe slightly booed, and it wasnt that bad considering it was one of the worst performances out of a star I have ever witnessed. Im not even sure the booes were for Lebron, but the cavs team as a whole.

You think its all going to be roses in Miami? Just wait.

You are crazy if you think he didnt kill his Legacy tonight. Whose going to retire his jursey? Whose going to remember what he accomplished? Hes basically starting from scratch going into his 8th year, to attempt to get to the finals, which he has already done in Cleveland. He cant even realistically believe hes going to win a championship, when he has no idea who else besides wade and bosch is on his team yet.

Im going to laugh hard if wade gets injured, and its just Lebron, bosch, and some rookies, and league minimums. Lebron could still come out of this looking really silly. We will see.

Cleveland was 1 all star away from a championship. They werent that bad. They had good players, just not another star. If oneil was in his prime, him and Lebron would have made things interesting for sure.

You need to step away from the keyboard hoping injury on players livelyhoods and from all accounts all of your posts are completely bitter and half rational.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

LBJ shot 31% and averaged around 6 turnovers per game the last three games against Boston. It seemed like Mo Williams had more hunger that last game than LBJ.

I'll say this, Jamison failed big time in that series.

LOL Mo Williams told his team not to play defense in defiance of his coach.

I know it doesnt matter because its Mo

At the end of the game where everyone except Andy quit. Talking about overall. Mo was attacking the hoop more.

Either way doesn't matter.

What's done is done. Hopefully Cleveland can have a fire sale and start rebuilding.

Lets be realistic tho. We turn on players the moment they don't perform up to our standards. I'd wager Damon Jones was in town for just this reason, lol...to soak in the CLE fans getting dissed. This is a very close friend of LeBron's and as soon as Jones deficiencies became apparent, the local media and fanbase couldn't wait to dump him. Remember the name Amon Jones...no D? It was real funny back then, and I remember Jones being interviewed and talking about being bood and having the fans turn on you. I also remember Bron petitioning for Jones to get more PT since he was at least shooting the ball well at one point. He was buried on the bench, killed by the locals and shuttled out of town. What does a situation like that tell a Lebron about fan and organizational loyalty, lol?

Don't get me wrong...I'm disapointed by it all too man, but not enough to wish bad on the dude. It's not personal.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

I guess thats why trades started going down immediately afterwards, and why teams had contingency plans "in case"

And all of this stuff is happening with plenty of time before training camp. The flow is perfectly OK.

It was stupid for him to put on a show, but the NBA world is still goin, on pace.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

You can't take things like people wishing bad on the guy seriously. Cleveland fans are angry and venting. Eventually they will accept it, and won't even care much once the Browns are back in the playoffs.

I know OS is all about legitimate posting, and rationalization, and using facts to back up your statements or whatever....but some comments aren't even worth responding to.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

I don't think any of my friends know just how bad the Heat's current roster is. They keep talking about Jermaine O'Neal, Q, Haslem and Arroyo being great bench players.

I guess they're going to care for a loooooooong time.

I heard Apple is releasing a Lebron James IPhone.....But it only vibrates because it doesn't have a ring.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

Ahhh, this has been an emotional last few days for me. I am seriously glad its over. I have my opinions, but I would probably get banned if I stated them all on here. With that said, I am ready to move on. I will be a Cavs fan till the day I die. And I am actually excited to see what they will do going forward.

I really need to get out of this thread for good. It has dominated me for the last 3 days. Its been fun reading all the different opinions and seeing the passion we all have for our teams and our sports.

Lebron may have torn our hearts out tonight, but he will never take away my pride in Cleveland sports.

Take care guys.

Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

The front of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer is awesome. Full page with a pic of LeBron and the only text is big letters that say "GONE" and tiny letters that say "7 years in Cleveland and no rings" with an arrow pointing to his hand.

Made me laugh.
