    No

    Cavs needed Kyrie to go God-Mode to squeek one out in 7. I don't see him doing that in his first playoff series.

    Also, the Warriors were much better in last year's finals than this year's finals. Last year just seemed inevitable for the Warriors to win.

    We have a group of 10 going to the parade. Planning to get to CLE around 6:30 am. I'm so fucking pumped.

    I'm definitely giving the Warriors title an asterisk, fuck them. The last series Steve Kerr had to throw shit on a wall with his lineup changes to see if it worked. He cracked the code and made a deathly lineup. I'm not sure if that happens if Love and Kyrie were there to play last year.

    I heard a half million people ..........kind of hard to believe, but who knows ........... will be fun.

    However, no way can it match the indescribable emotion downtown Sunday night ---- EPIC!

    If you remember though, he was pretty awesome game 1 vs them last year before he got hurt. Dropped 23-7-6 with 4 steals and 2 huge blocks on Steph. Who's to say if he's healthy he doesn't replicate this series?

    I saw an estimate this morning that the city is estimating 800,000 people. Then I saw another comment that Kansas City had a million less than Cleveland and had that many, so they may push 1 million people at the parade. Ha sounds like a complete cluster fuck.

    Mike and Mike this morning asking the question if you were Love, would you ask for a trade?

    Obviously BSPN hot take radio talk, but getting around that...Cavs lose game 7 and love is traded. Now they win, are we keeping him for the long haul or do we go out and see what kind of return we can get for him?

    Yeah, we're parking outside the city and taking the rapid. No way I want to deal with that traffic and parking.

    After how their fans acted in Games 1 and 2 with the "Just wait to Cavs are at full strength" memes, it certainly is deserved.

    There's no question that we win last year with EITHER Love or Irving. No question.

    But you can say the same thing if Bogut wasn't hurt and Draymond didn't miss a game.
    Agreed on Bogut. I think Cavs still win Game 5 even with Draymond.

    Bogut going down gave me all the confidence in the world that we were winning 6 & 7.

    Edit: Wanted to add, Bogut is nowhere near as important as Irving and maybe Love. I still think the Cavs win it all last year if they had either.

    Um, if Draymond didn't shoot 80% from the 3, Game 7 is a blow out. You can't really play that game.

    Love would not ask for a trade. As of now, I do not want to trade him.

    With that said, Cavs should always have the phone line open and listen to trades for him. They should do that for any player though at any time.

    Sports Science broke down the LeBron block. Said he hit 20.1 mph

    I'm not for trading Love either at this point. The question I heard posed was would Love want out seeing as he is AT BEST the third wheel on this team. I don't think Love wants out, but the question made me think if the Cavs are wanting to move on from him and get another "third wheel" in Cleveland.

    I say no, and I'm sure most do too. Just posing the question.

    Le Betard: don't be surprised if Lebron leaves Cleveland again

    Lol. This fucking guy is such a clown.
  • Dr. KnOiTaLL
    Is anyone going to the parade and have a good plan for entry into the city?

    It seems like he is quite happy in Cleveland and seems to understand and accept his role. I guess I'm saying you don't know what you are going to get with another "third wheel" Could be better things out there Love might bring but how they gel within is always an unknown to an extent...but who knows maybe someone overpays for Love and Cleveland could fleece someone, but doubtful.

    From Delly up, I think leaving everything intact is best for next season as every piece outside of Mozgov seems to fit well with LeBron but also Kyrie.

    I doubt it. Love got his fat pay day to be a 3rd wheel on a championship team. I don't see him as the type of competitor that wants to be the #1 guy on another team; he just wants money and to be relevant and on the Cavs he has both.
  • sleeper
    Also anyone now doubt TT's contract?

    I now feel he is worth the money he is getting paid.

    Well he already had that in his career and guessing 3rd-5th wheel and winning it all alongside one of the greatest of all-time is way beyond leading a nobody team going nowhere....which he likely can't even do anymore anyways. He might have the best job in the NBA.

    I feel it's up to LeBron if he comes back or not.

    Just happy he made 3 of those 4 free throws in the 2nd half of game 7. His 15/15 game 5 was a huge deal in the Cavs winning.

    We're taking the rapid into Tower City so we don't have to deal with traffic and parking.
