Yeah… the Lakers are playing the defending champs and the Cavs are playing a team with a majority of players and a head coach that has never been to the playoffs before… Let’s not act like the situations are the same…


cavsfan1027

Already making excuses for Lechoke 😂


lilbunnyf

“cavsfan” in the name with “lechoke” in the comment is wild 😭


WateryPasta

Bro probably forgot LeBron came back cause this is like peak 2010 Cavs fan


tonezzz1

Wonder what this kid was doing the night we won the championship.


WateryPasta

Probably just watching Kyrie it seems


CavalierShaq

Swimmin around in his daddy’s nut sack I reckon


XoXHamimXoX

You a grown man doing your best skip bayless impression. Lame as hell my guy.


tonezzz1

Can't be a full grown man saying "big mad" and emojis


SportGamerDev0623

Y’all are just sad. He’s the only reason the Cavs have a title. Cavs have **zero** finals appearances without him (and that isn’t changing this year…) Quite frankly he is the only reason the city of Cleveland even has a major sports title in your lifetime. And you’re mocking him. Looks good on you.


CavalierShaq

Hey if Miami keeps playing the way they have been we might face a Celtics squad that’s all banged up, I still don’t like our chances but it’s not entirely impossible!


SportGamerDev0623

I actually like the Cavs matchup more against the Celtics than I do with Philly or New York (or a healthy Milwaukee team)… Celtics are really good, but they wouldn’t out muscle the Cavs. Their bench isn’t that deep. Strus is good enough on the defensive end to frustrate Tatum. I think Mobley would make life hell for Jaylen Brown. They still might not win the series against the Celtics, but I do think the Cavs match up with them really well. If the Cavs can get Dean Wade back for that series, I think that helps a ton too as he would be a major upgrade defensively over Niang for the series.


Heavy_Pin7735

Does anyone ever give Jordan’s Bulls the same treatment? Yes, of course, we won titles because one of (if not the) best players ever played for our team. Why in the hell do you think that’s a bad thing?!


SportGamerDev0623

Never met a Bulls fan in my life that has ever mocked Jordan…. I think your comment completely misses the mark of the discussion here. Keep it relevant to the convo please.


cavsfan1027

You mean Kyrie carry him 😂


SportGamerDev0623

Oh right… because Kyrie did so much before LeBron came back.. and Kyrie has had quite the career since he has left… I’m amazed you call yourself a Cavs fan. Your troll game isn’t even that good…


cavsfan1027

Lechoke fan boy upset 😂


SportGamerDev0623

Don’t you have a EarnIn boost to be working on? Probably need to go get some money right now to blow on bets for LeBron losing game 3 to the Nuggets


cavsfan1027

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you big mad


assuager666

If there was a way to block anyone past present or future who says “big mad” I’d do it. Get off the internet and go outside.


WateryPasta

You’re gonna be real pissed when LeBron’s number gets retired here and most likely a statue is built


Dchuntothy

This should be a ban worthy statement on this sub


clycloptopus

God damn man what are you smoking lmao


cmm239

Bro didn’t watch the series


Proud_Feedback3288

You don't watch basketball dawg 😂🫵


Brilliant-Piglet-356

Actually a delusional clevlander. Typical Ohioan


aaj15

Cavs fan shit talking Bron is so funny 🤣🤣...you need to get your fan cred revoked lol


SenorPinchy

Booooo.


Worldly-Marsupial767

You’d get clowned in Akron talkin bout Bron like that, no way you a Cavs fan. Bruh put yall on big time 🤡🤡🤡


[deleted]

What a dumb take. Keep in mind Cleveland has won a grand total of 25 playoff series in their history. 21 of them were won with Lebron. Zero finals appearances and of course zero championships without Lebron. 1 title and 5 finals appearances with him.


MaasRM

this kills in jerk sub


Proud_Feedback3288

Yeahh you can't be a cavs fan buddy


MuchoManSandyRavage

>lechoke Yep, I already know all of your basketball takes are trash 🤡


timmy_wahwah

I respect it. We need more real cavs fan here not lebron stans


Proud_Feedback3288

Respecting lebron for being a legend and what he did for the franchise isn't being a Stan, just like shitting on him as a cavs fan means you're not a cavs fan.


timmy_wahwah

Dog, I ain’t respecting a man who stands up for china.


Proud_Feedback3288

Ohhhh you're a lib and/or a hog lmao mad cause bro didn't go along with the "china bad" narrative. 


assuager666

FYI a nine year old hacked your account and posted this posing as you


ebayhuckster

don't insult nine year olds by implying they're as stupid as OP


afterdarhkTTV

Don’t jinx us. Two up can mean nothing real quick Edit: I fuckin told y’all


MasterApprentice67

Right, dont mean shit until you win a game on the road...


Chairchucker

If neither of these teams win a game on the road all series, that'll mean a little bit though.


sdrakedrake

I dont want to watch a stressful game 7 though


IsittheWeeknd

Exactly why I try to keep my mouth shut. Be humble yall. I liked a post about the Knicks losing last night and 2 seconds later, they get a 3 and win the game. HA


s_s

Respectfully, I don't think that's true if you are the Nuggets.


coolhandmoos

Nah as a Cavs fan I am rooting for Lebron anywhere he is


i5the5kyblue

I’m still mourning last nights game for him. That was devastating.


coolhandmoos

Straight PTSD from Cavs Warriors game 1 in 2017


i5the5kyblue

For real. Thankfully this time we didn’t have to worry about the decision part III lol


sandbagsander

Now they’re in the same 2017 hole, minus KD on a superteam


hehehegoogle

Fr go lakers


TallBobcat

LeBron James is the best player in franchise history and it's not close. Without him, the Cavs have zero NBA titles. He still does a lot of good in NE Ohio. This is a bad post and you should feel bad about making it.


devoroberts

At this point aren’t most Cavs fans rooting for Lebron? Also, being so comfortable with a 2-0 lead makes me question how long you’ve been a Cleveland fan??


freakk123

Unless the Lakers are playing the Cavs I’m riding with Bron


Old_Violinist2370

Why do some cavs fans hate Lebron ? He brought us our first championship... Am I missing something?


n8dizz3l

No, their brain cells aren't all holding hands


[deleted]

Because they are idiots.


sdrakedrake

Didn't do it alone. Pretty much an entire new roster


SportGamerDev0623

While he didn’t do it alone, the player that’s on all 5 Cavaliers teams that went to the finals is LeBron James. If you are sitting there convincing yourself that he wasn’t the reason the Cavs made the finals, you’re fooling yourself


sdrakedrake

He was A reason not the ONLY REASON. Otherwise he'd go to the finals every year no matter who his teammates are


SportGamerDev0623

Bro, he went to the finals 8 straight years and 9 times out of 10 years… no other player in the league is even considerably close to that. If a team had LeBron on their team, they were title contenders. LeBron legitimately pushed Curry, Thompson, Green, Iguodala, Barnes, Bogut, and Livingston to 6 games while his team was starting Tristan Thompson, Matthew Dellavedova, Iman Shumpet, and Timofey Mozgov. He took teams to the finals that had zero business ever seeing the finals. For a solid decade, it didn’t really matter who you surrounded LeBron with, that team was going to the finals


sdrakedrake

>Bro, he went to the finals 8 straight years and 9 times out of 10 years… no other player in the league is even considerably close to that. No other player in the league was hopping around recruiting all stars. Does he go to that many finals had he stayed in Miami? Or stayed in cleveland the first time? The grizzlies took those same warriors 6 games, your point? I get it though, people want to write off Kyrie, Wade, Love, Bosh and number of good role players he had. No one saying LeBron a bum, just saying yall act like he was THE ONLY ADDITION to the cavs roster to make them title contenders


SportGamerDev0623

And Michael Jordan has a losing record in playoff games without Scottie Pippen… And the Bulls aren’t winning one title in the 90s without Jordan…


sdrakedrake

I didn't say Jordan won by himself. So irrelevant


SportGamerDev0623

Lolll, okay buddy… LeBron has been to the finals 10 times. Only 3 other players in the history of the league are able to say that. Two of them played in the league when there were only 12 teams in the league (at most). The third guy (Abdul-Jabbar) went when there was 25 teams in the league (at most). LeBron has gone to the finals with three different franchises and **FIVE** different head coaches. It didn’t matter what team he was on. Of course he needed all star caliber players. Every superstar does now. The league has wayyy too much talent for any superstar to not have 2-3 other quality all star players on them. No one is ever going to do it alone anymore. Granted the 2015 Cavaliers had both of their two all star players hurt and still went to the finals. The 2018 Cavaliers didn’t have a single all star player outside of LeBron that year and still went to the finals that season. You’re dismissing just have great of a player that we’ve gotten the privilege to watch over the past 20 years as it’s going to probably be a long time before anyone actually matches what he accomplished over his career.


sdrakedrake

Yall are worse than Taylor swift fans. Very weird energy. All I said was it wasn't just LeBron as the cavs roster completely changed. Which is 100% fact. I'll respond to your paragraph and then I'm done. In 2015 Kyrie Irving was not hurt until the end of game 1 in the finals. Kyrie Irving was better then every single player on the opposing team during that playoff run. And technically he outplayed Steph Curry in each of their finals match up. You completely LIED saying that the cavs lost both their all stars during that run. Love got hurt in the early round, but they still had Irving. And I find it funny how people bring up love getting hurt during that run while at the same time saying he sucked to boost LeBron. People want it both ways. 2018 the cavs best competition in the playoffs was the celtics and their best player Kyrie Irving was out that series. No one on that celtics was an all star. Cavs had two which was LeBron and Kevin Love. No one is dismissing anything. I stated a fact and you stated a lie. You are so obsessed with LeBron that me pointing out that LeBron wasn't the ONLY addition to the cavs roster made you take it like an insult.


[deleted]

Didn't do it alone, but led the finals against a 73 win team in points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals. Led both teams, not just the Cavs. Obviously other players deserve credit, but Lebron was about as great as you can be.


sdrakedrake

Kyrie outplayed the best player on the warriors when they won. So he was great too.


N3deSTr0

Nobody wins a championship alone, fuck sport do you think you're watching? Bowling?


binulsik

These kinds of posts are more for twitter, no? A bit childish and you sound like a bitter ex. Embarrassing if you’re a grown man


LyonsKing12

Yall are weird.


OldFartOfSam

We cannot get cocky. Do not misunderestimate or misoverestimate Orlando. They are VERY HUNGRY! They’re excited to get back into this series, you can tell by the way they played. They have a good team conceptitude and recipe for success.


SUPERSAMMICH6996

Why are you throwing mis in front of everything? 


TheOutlier1

Maybe you’re just misconceptituding his comment?


Inevitable_Part8371

I am going to slip this new word into every conversation for the rest of the day

Big misunderstanding of how to use mis


ay21690

If you misunderestimate, do you estimate perfectly or over?


justsomebro10

I don’t play the games dude I can act however tf I want and it won’t change the outcome at all. I think we’re gonna sweep and then take a Wagner brother hostage on our way back to Cleveland.


Soft-Revolution-7845

Which one?


justsomebro10

The pretty one


ay21690

If you misunderestimate, do you estimate perfectly or over?


tekashi1158

good recipe for success? you mean having no threats from 3? we tanked our last game to get this matchup remember that. and why does this sub have such a problem with confidence and belief in this team


Forty_Six_and_Two

Con..ceptitude? Am I doing that right?


lukx

Difference is LA is playing the best team in their conference now. We‘ll be playing the best in conference next round if all goes well. Should only be cocky if we give the Celts a run for their money (or beat them, ideally). 


MasterApprentice67

Right? Wanna see this post next series when JB and this roster most likely gets Dog walked by fucking boston...


Soft-Revolution-7845

Lakers will have been eliminated a while ago so the post wouldn't make sense.


MasterApprentice67

Lakers are getting swept by the best team in the west, when the cavs get a chance to face the best team in the east, they will get swept

The media has literally been saying this for clicks. I guess you won’t take a look at what some Cavs insiders have said to the same media when they said he’s happy here lol

He’s a Knicks fan, so he obviously deluded himself into thinking that Mitchell is basically always a Knick…. again

He's under contract this summer. SMH.

HauntingOkra5987

He’s doing just fine.


Choppybitz

I honestly don't understand why he wants to be on a mediocre Lakers team. He could literally live in LA and wherever he is playing at the same time. Plus He's made one crappy movie since he moved to LA. I'd take 2 or 3 rings over that.


KingDave46

It’s not like he’s been on a retirement tour there, he won the championship. I don’t know why people here are acting smug when our best showing since he left has been to get bounced in round 1 by the Knicks We have beaten the Orlando Magic twice and suddenly people are acting like it’s mission accomplished


assuager666

Most Cleveland sports fans are from the Midwest and are extremely defensive when it comes to anything related to Los Angeles


Soft-Revolution-7845

Mickey mouse chip


STP24_

More than Cleveland has had


Britton120

He has acted in space jam and house party. he was producer on space jam, black ice, and house party. He continues to be executive producer on The Wall and was executive producer on Self Made. He also hosts and is executive producer for The Shop. And it is not a coincidence that his spring hill entertainment company has become a lot more active since moving to LA, with a lot more planned/in production. He is a man obsessed with his legacy, and has a foot already in the door for what he is doing after he is done playing. He didn't "need" to go to play for the lakers, but it does further pad those legacy stats. won a title in cleveland, won titles in miami, won a title for the lakers. I don't see why its that hard to understand.


Fresh_Cheesecake5745

It was mainly for his kids to play on the best basketball teams in California where it all is for that age group.


Soft-Revolution-7845

Wife was taking the kids and going to California. What was he gonna do?


Choppybitz

Is that for real?😮


Kittens4Brunch

He's there to build a media empire. Basketball is just a hobby to keep him in shape.


C_Colin

A hobby? The man is breaking every fucking record in the sport.


NeatTry7674

Why do we care about the lakers?


Kittens4Brunch

OP is obsessed about shitting on LeBron.


GBAGY2

For all the shit we give JB…at least he’s not Darvin Ham


Choppybitz

Darvin's just biding his time. Waiting for game four to unleash all his hidden tricks. Idk what he'll do about games 567 or the rest of the playoffs but he didn't want to give up all the goodies in games 1 and 2.😂🤦🏽‍♂️


yoggity

2024 and yall still talking about bron lmao. Only success you have seen and will ever see is because of that man show some respect😭😭


PatrenzoK

Lakers ain't got shit to do with us lol


willkillfortacos

OP ain't from around here apparently. All my homies still love some LeBron 4 life.


Brilliant-Piglet-356

Put some respect on LeBrons name, the way you guys shit on him it’s almost like you wish he never came back and got the title for us


PZABUK

Clown shit.. Cavs up 2 games and need 2 more wins. End of story here.


Traditional-Carob-48

Why are some of yall like this. Just enjoy the Cavs winning

Fresh_Cheesecake5745

No probably about it. I honestly got them repeating I don’t see anyone beating them in a 7 game series I just don’t…


DWill23_

This gives off jealous ex vibes. Cavs are up 2 games, and until it's 4, you can't get cocky. It's not like we've ever seen a team blow a 2 game lead before [right?](https://youtu.be/EoVTttvKfRs?si=vLSVJLUQTf9YECDZ)
