Lakers Fans you no longer are a subject of my hate you now have my respect, in fact I will be rooting for you guys to make it to the finals so I can watch Artest wring Lebron around the neck when he tries to drive in the paint, during the first game of the finals. I am now a Knicks fan, as well as a fan of any team playing the heat. Wasn't fucking the Knicks over once enough for you Riley? I guess not.

Wu Welsh I agree as a bulls fan Lebron is dead to me fuck that nigga real talk he's a ho. I no longer fucks with D. Wade either. I never liked Chris " The rupal of big men" Bosh he can suck a dick with his sweet ass.

enjoy your 3 man team with no depth, miami.

3 things:

1. When he blew it with that passive bullshit in game 5 vs. the Celts, it really made me question his desire and then to watch Kobe's intensity and will to win to get the title, it just made me kind of look at him differently

2. This ego rubbing free agent wooing thing he's done has helped to further confirm that its really all about LeBron first

3. I think its funny that he's going to DWade's team where Wade had already lead that franchise to a title (with Shaq of course) so LeBron could become his Pippen- I just wonder if there will still be that asterisk, like there was with Kobe, if Miami does win a title or two

I believe this 9pm special managed to quell the Oakland riots.

There is a huge banner on the side of a building just west of the Q thats like 100ft by 100ft and it used to say "all for one" and when i drove by it yesterday it said "we are all witnesses" I'm pretty sure when i go back it'll be gone. This just prolongs the Cuyahoga Curse, Cleveland sports is fucked. I fucking love it.

wow, i don't get the miami heat hate. from the couple years i've lived down here and handful of games i've been to, their fan base isn't just a bunch of rich ass idiots who just started watching in 2006...fuck, actually they are, but i once met a girl whose father's been a season ticket holder since the zo' and tim hardaway days when they were getting swept by chicago in the first round every year. pat riley is the fucking al pacino of the L.

i don't think they'll have any problems filling in the rest of that roster, i would like to see how much cap room they'll have left after all the contracts get signed and how much they get for michael beasley.

the only fans that can be legitimately angry are cleveland's, but i mean they shouldn't worry, the owner says they'll win a title before lebron does.

i really didn't like lebron for as long as he's been in the league, just like i disliked kobe bryant when he first started, they were young and stupid to think they could do it all by themselves. kobe has finally turned that selfish mentality into a winning one and i think lebron is on his way.

EDIT: THE EASTERN CONFERENCE IS BACK!

i only dislike the heat because of a rigged 2006 finals, haha.

Blame the fucking octopus for this one too.

It's going to be tough shit if they don't bring a title to Miami next season. No bench might make that a harsh reality.

"...narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment."

"You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal."

the comics sans was a nice touch

Dan Gilbert writting checks his organization can't cash.

kilgore. · « **Reply #917 on:** July 09, 2010, 08:49:28 AM »

dan gilbert shut the hell up, you surrounded him with second fiddles that consisted of drew gooden, mo williams, and antawn jamison, an aging big Z, and wally Szczerbiak. and let's not even mention Mike Brown as your coach..

everypennyfedcar · « **Reply #918 on:** July 09, 2010, 10:11:38 AM »

You forgot about Anderson Varejao.

kilgore. · « **Reply #919 on:** July 09, 2010, 10:16:48 AM »

he was never a second fiddle offensive guy. he's a glue guy. at one point cleveland actually had drew gooden as a low post "threat" that they expected to get double doubles...

SFblah · « **Reply #920 on:** July 09, 2010, 10:59:29 AM »

If Riley does come back to the bench, which it seems he may, then he once again proves that he's a douche. The guy wants nothing to do with coaching until he sees a chance to get a ring and he will have no problem booting his coach...a second time.

kilgore. · « **Reply #921 on:** July 09, 2010, 11:02:17 AM »

naw, i think spoelstra will be the coach for sure, but riley will definitely be in his ear. not a bad mentor to have. but yeah riley ring chased like a mother fucker in 05 and 06 with shaq.

StabMasterArson · « **Reply #922 on:** July 09, 2010, 11:31:03 AM »

Dan Gilbert can eat a dick. Lebron did to the Cavs what him and Quiken Loans did to the state of Michigan. Peaced out.

ctsskate · « **Reply #923 on:** July 09, 2010, 12:20:11 PM »

Adrian Wojnarowski is an NBA insider who writes for Yahoo! Sports, great writer, and if any of you guys want some more insight into how this whole conjured up, free agent fiasco with Lebron came about definitely read some of his stuff, its that kind of peek-behind-the-curtain info I found very interesting:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-lebrondecision070710 Right when his TV infomercial was announced

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-lebrondecision070910 Reaction to last night's events

"He wasn’t picking a basketball team as much as a party. He’s 25 years old, and yet somehow this felt like a cloistered teenager picking a party school for college."

Lebron said he knew his basketball history during the announcement. looks like he forgot about the outcome of the 2004 Lakers "dream team."

yeah i saw that, that's fucked. as much as an attention whore as he has been, i do commend him on making a decision based on winning more so than the money. that was unexpected, honestly. he's going to be a different player next year, he'll be waaaay more magic than jordan. i can definitely see this as an oscar robertson year for him 20+/10/10.

Does this mean he'll be more like Magic Johnson than MJ, or a better player than MJ? At first I thought you meant the latter, but then I remembered that I'm an idiot so I thought I'd ask.

I hate Lebron but this is going to be exciting to watch. They also have that Team USA chemistry which is sick.

dan gilbert is a comical man. i guess he owns fatheads, and lowered the price of the lebron james fat head from 100 bucks to $17.41, the year benedict arnold was born...

anyone else watched that tri-ami circle jerk? really don't want D Fish to join the dark side.
