The Cavaliers are making history at winning so many games in the regular season and not even appearing in the Finals the last couple years. How bad is their supporting cast really to easily clear 60+ wins two years in a row? It's mental/coaching, not talent. You win 60+ games you're talented enough to at least MAKE the Finals.

We are Cubs fans I dont feel sorry for any other teams Cleveland is so far below Chicago on the levels of sports hell.
-
I feel bad for Cleveland.

This is all about watching the death of professional basketball in Ohio now.
-
Varejao has been a huge bitch this game.
-
Good job Lebron. You have to at least look like you're trying.
-
Lebron's not even looking at the rim from the perimeter. Maybe his elbow really is messed up.
-
It's kind of silly to put that much emphasis on PER when your team is historically bad. Lopez is nice but it's not close. Putting PER in a vacuum makes Shareef Abdur Rahim look like Tim Duncan some years.

zomg chris broussard mentioned us before the knicks on the list of teams looking at FAs

Time to declare victory on the 2009 season.

Can Silva Turn Things Around and Be Useful?
SpongeWorthy replied to CubsWin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
As always, imb gets right down to brass tacks. Anyway, he probably would get a job pretty quickly but so what? Everyone knows pro sports, even the SABRized MLB, is an insular culture with retreads all over. That being said, I think we should look at Kevin Towers. -
I think this is the most I've looked forward to a non Bulls NBA game in a long time.

Your problem is that you're capable of being shamed by Canadians, not novice hockey fans. -
Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!

My mind was blown when I realized you could pull the goalie for an extra attacker on a delayed penalty. -
Lebron is a cohesive fit with any player in the NBA.
-
It'd be nice, but I'm not sure how we could get a legit big man. There is the possibility of a Loul Deng trade, but I'm not sure who'd take on Deng. None of the team with FAs would I think. Maybe Minnesota would for Al Jefferson, other than that I can't think of a good big man we could acquire, you'd be talking about Elton Brand or someone like that. You'd just kind of have to deal with Lebron and Deng as your forwards. Although Lebron would be listed as your 3, I think realistically, you'd seem him fulfilling more of a PF role on offense, and most defensive matchups would call for him guarding the 4's. A shooter I think will be easier. I could really see Ray Allen signing for a little less than $5M if we had Lebron, which is about what we'll have to spend. Isn't Asik coming over? I don't know much about him but he's supposed to be a force at locking down the paint.
-
Are you on the Knicks board on realgm poking them? Yes, I barely post on RealGM but I couldn't resist mocking the chain of thought that Bosh is a better fit next to Rose--you know, because Chris Bosh is already a Knick and all.
-
Doris Kearns Goodwin is still alive. Studs Terkel is dead (somehow he lived to 2008).
-
I can't wait for Lebron to sign here to team up with Kobe whom we traded for a few offseason ago.
-
That's hilarious. If anyone thinks Kobe hasn't played like this in a series I direct you to the 2004 and 2008 NBA Finals (especially 2004). Also check out Game 7 against Phoenix in 2006 when he basically refused to the shoot the ball. Lebron was nearly this bad for an entire series against the Spurs in the Finals. The secret Jordan stinker was against Seattle when Rodman probably should've won Finals MVP.
-
How about the 93 Bulls won the championship and the 94 Bulls didn't? Regular season doesn't really mean all that much to a veteran championship team. I mean they already proved they could win a bunch of regular season games. You've got to throttle it back in the regular season after a 3 year stretch on top. The Lakers did the same thing with Shaq and Kobe. They ran roughshod over the league in the first year Phil was there and then basically cruised in the regular seasons after that. Scottie was obviously possessed to step out of MJ's shadow and lead the Bulls to as good a record as possible.
-
I wouldn't put much stock in Mosley/Mayweather doing more buys than Pac/Clottey. Mayweather is a slightly bigger draw than Pacquaio but Mosley is a pretty big star in his own right. Clottey's just a guy.
-
I thought we were still entertaining Lebron pipedreams. This Boozer and Frye talk is ruining it. I don't want any part of Boozer and no part of Johnson at a max deal. In fact I don't really want to give any kind of deal to Johnson at any realistic price because that means we're settling on a guy that's not going to get us over the hump.
-
I still have no idea why the NBA put the age limit in place. The track record of kids jumping straight from high school to the NBA exceeded anyone's wildest expectations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prep-to-pro_players There's a handful of outright busts there, some guys who made way too much money relative to their ability level, and many more solid players to all time greats.

Are you ok with no limit on how often a coach can call a 15 year old kid? Should there be restrictions on when he can place calls? How bout visits? Can he wait outside his school every day for a week? The NCAA is FUBAR, but it doesn't mean there's no basis for their restrictions. We don't really have a problem sending young tennis/gymnastics/music prodigies that are much younger than that to go to a school almost entirely devoted to getting better at tennis/gymnastics/music. But those kids aren't young and black and from poor neighborhoods so we don't see the need to save them from themselves. Any person that you see in Olympics, and many, many levels of competition below that has had a far more regimented lifestyle for longer than the typical big time college hoops or football player.
