The Official NBA 2014-2015 Discussion (Predictions)

Well, one of them thinks he is half of a 90's rap duo and the other is probably better off in mma or wwe. What can you expect?

 

i said there would probably some really tired role players on cleveland (everyone as well as lebron) and they sure looked it. this series is probably over. my prediction on the cavs wont get there. guess ledecision wont win another this series.

 

nah, they'll recover and win the next 2.

 

There's my drunk supporter.

 

drunk, eh? not yet, but i guess w/predictions like that, you would assume it.

 

Shoulda said 6.

 

It's ironic that on the night that LeBron was so tired he shot 7 for 22 and couldn't will his team to victory was the 18th anniversery of the famous Michael Jordan Flu Game. So sick with a bad case of the flu that he should have been in a hospital instead of a basketball court, Jordan scored 37 points, had double digit rebounds and hit the game and Finals Series game winner at the buzzer to carry the Chicago Bulls over the Utah Jazz on the road.

LeBron is probably the equal of His Airness in physical talent but he will never have the killer instinct to dominate the center stage for an entire championship series. Jordan had it. Larry Bird had it. Magic Johnson had it. Jack Nicklaus had it. Tiger Woods used to have it but I don't think he'll ever get it back. Once it's gone it's gone. Joe Montana had it. Muhammad Ali had it.

That said I'm not a fan of either Cleveland or Golden State. I liked LeBron when he first came into the league but after "The Decision" I took my rooting preferences away from South Beach. Since then I have found out more about the real LeBron James and he is probably a lot better human being than Michael Jordan. Jordan was an asshole who would often get into fist fights with his own teammates at practice. LeBron is more affable and well liked by those who know him.

So with no rooting interest in either team it's more natural to pull for the long suffering blue collar fans of the city of Cleveland to finally get a championship over the effete chardonnay sipping citizens of Gay Bay. The 49er's, the Giants and the A's have all won multiple championships over the years while Cleveland hasn't had one since the Browns won the NFL in 1964. Nothing but heartbreak. Does anyb0dy remember The Drive. With the Browns less than two minutes from a Superbowl and Denver with the ball inside their own 10 yard line John Elway systematically broke the hearts of every soul in Northern Ohio. The Indians? Last World Series win in 1948. Harry Truman was President.

So, can the LeBronettes rally and bring the trophy back to The City by the Lake that was once on fire? To misquote Al Michaels: "Do You Believe in Miracles? NO, I DON'T."

 

well said on just about every point. im pulling for cleveland for those reasons listed as well as golden state is a team i alway pulled for and watched because their games have always been entertaining for as long as i can remember. now that theyre good and everyone is suddenly a curry fan, im hoping they lose. plus ive learned to respect lebron as a person first and he seems like an a1 guy who is much smarter than most. minus le decision.

also, tiger is done and thats depressing. he is now hack city.

and no, cleveland cant come back after they lose by 10 tonight.
