I would love for Lebron to win this championship for the city
For a few reasons
For one the city Cleveland needs this ?
The city be depressing as ? until Lebron came back lol
Knowing this ? from my relatives that live in Cleveland
Two, I think Lebron is a great enough athlete to pull that off anyways
and three
Dude is my cousin
and not some long lost cousin twice removed
By blood, on my mom's side
? never believe me, so I never tell ppl
As far as how close
I know secrets about his fam, that the media don't know much about
since some of my fam lives in Cleveland
Years back
At first I didn't believe it, but since I'm from Michigan, it makes since
So I hope tha ? pulls thru
@offmychest bron needs more help
-
atleast let the warriors win the next game 1st before we go in on the cavs......smfh
Its just 2-0 not 3-0
Game 3 is very important........warriors need to win that game just as much as the cavs need to win
-
Grown, non-Oakland residing Warriors fans. That ? is a paradox.
Most people I see in Warrior jerseys are less than 10 years old, so they get a pass. Any grown person living outside the Bay area that tells me they're a fan is immediately deemed suspect. I didn't see them rocking a Baron Davis or Captain Jack jersey a few years ago.
Most "fans" of the Dubs just hate Bron.....meaning, they're probably in the Space Jammer Army or Kobeites. -

No they don't.....Golden State only needs to win 1 game in Cleveland. It doesn't matter which one. -
I know it happened with OKC and the Dubbs...
But if the Cavs come back and win this series after getting curb stomped in Oakland..
I will be genuinely impressed ... Lebron would deserve every bit of praise the media would heap on him for pulling that off.
Don't see it happening though. -
Lmao yall need to stop, this ? over with.
Kinda depressed because after this it's summer league and ? gon be gassing all kinds of players.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/16014571/2016-nba-finals-shaquille-oneal-says-cleveland-cavaliers-need-more-kyrie-irving-kevin-loveShaquille O'Neal: Cavs need more from Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love
NEW YORK -- Shaquille O'Neal played on the last team to overcome a 2-0 deficit in the NBA Finals, so he knows what it takes.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, he thinks it starts with better play from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, who he said is being "punked" by Draymond Green.
"Because remember last year, the storyline was, 'OK, Golden State, you won a championship, but that's because Kyrie and Kevin Love weren't playing.' Now they're playing, now you've got to play like you know how to play," O'Neal said Monday night.
Irving averaged 18 points but shot just 33 percent in the first two games. Love was just 9-for-24 from the floor in Games 1 and 2, and his status for Game 3 in Cleveland on Wednesday is unknown because of a concussion.
He's been no match for Green, who scored 28 points in the Warriors' 110-77 Game 2 stomping.
"Kevin Love's getting punked by Draymond, he really is," O'Neal said during an interview with The Associated Press. "I hate to be the one to say it, but he has to step up. You can't let a guy do the muscle thing in your face and you don't respond."
O'Neal said his Miami Heat never lost their belief in the 2006 finals, when they dropped the first two games in Dallas and were in deep trouble in Game 3 before storming back to win four straight. "We didn't feel like we were down and we knew we were better than that team," he said. "Our whole message was just one game at a time because they're up, the pressure's not on them. Once you start to squeeze, the pressure starts to be on them."
He thinks the Cavaliers can still get back into this series, though he's not sure they can join the three teams to come back and win the title after being down 2-0.
O'Neal, who provided analysis for NBA TV in Games 1 and 2, was in New York to take part in an event for American Express card members with his former Los Angeles Lakers coach, Phil Jackson.
Jackson's Chicago Bulls overcame a 2-0 deficit against the Knicks in the 1993 Eastern Conference finals en route to one of his NBA-record 11 championships as a coach. He recalls that series swinging when Michael Jordan became enraged after press accounts of his trip to Atlantic City following practice between Games 1 and 2 and "played like a man possessed."
"Sometimes it takes something like that," Jackson said, adding that LeBron James might need to find something that gets him to play with equal passion.
The Warriors' 73 victories broke the Bulls' 1995-96 record, but O'Neal said his 2000-01 Lakers would have beaten them. That team set an NBA record by going 15-1 in the postseason for the second of three straight championships under Jackson, back when O'Neal was an imposing physical force before rules changes loosened the game for free-flowing offenses like Golden State's to thrive.
"If you're using those rules, we'd win. Now we use these rules these days, we'd still win, because you wouldn't be allowed to touch me, you wouldn't be allowed to touch Kobe [Bryant]," O'Neal said. "So yeah, that's how I always look at it." -

Only problem is even though wade was still brand new with it, shaq gotta remember that
that heat team had mad veterans that stepped up in that series against dallas.......
besides lebron , james jones and possibly richard jefferson are the only vets on the cavs.......lol
if i remember correctly that heat team had a couple of vets who was still starving for they
1st ring.......
wasnt james posey on that team, ? ended up winning another ring with bosten in 08....
they had gary payton, jason williams aka white chocolate, antonie walker, alonzo mourning
and some other vets i think -

Frequency vibrations is the woat name by the way -
My sources tell me that the zika virus will have a significant impact on if the players are going to Brazil for the Olympics
Players are being put off by the fact that they can't bring their families and have to sleep in malaria nets during those weeks. -
So you need sources instead of using your common sense on why players might turn down the Olympic
-
My sources also tell me Damian lillard still is a long shot even with no curry or rose and Paul iffy
-
So it's their loss not having the third best pg in the league
