Cavs a lot of pathetic whiners evidence thread

[W. Unseld]

Is there a way to get the transcript of Letravel's press conference last night? I don't think there could be any more compelling evidence of whining other than maybe a compilation video of him doing that g*y "Hey!" scream to the refs every time he thinks he was foulded (which is pretty much every time).

I dont know why the cavs keep thinking the wizards are fouling hard..

Probably the same reason the Refs think the Wizards are fouling hard. That's because they are fouling hard, and that's because their coach is telling them to foul hard.

Here's a couple bullet items for EJ to remember:
1) If you are going to tell your team to foul hard, don't tell that to reporters in advance. Ref's read newspapers. What EJ did is like wearing a T-shirt that says "I *heart* drunk driving" when you walk by the cops on the way out of a bar. Even if you are driving legally, you can bet they will pull you over anyway. It's like asking for Flagrant fouls.
2) As Flip Saunders learned in Game 6 last June, when you tell your team to start fouling LeBron, don't be surprised if your players get into foul trouble early.
3) As Flip Saunders learned last June, don't expect it to win you games either. Make him shoot from outside like the Spurs did.

Well, the theory is that LeBron is a whiny wus and if you foul him hard a few times he'll stop going to the basket.

I don't think that's working now, I think he's thinking "why take a jump shot? All I have to do is make a move to the basket and get fouled."

I think the foul hard strategy works if you only do it every once in awhile. If you foul on every drive you're going to get twenty easy points from the line, why stop driving? Cavs effectively stopped the zards from driving by swatting away all their drives to the basket. That's how you stop people from driving.

I dunno, I think the zards are incapable of guarding lebron. Try to keep him under forty and then just stay close to the other shooters, and put BH on Z and hope he does a good job. The zards aren't going to win any games with their defense.

Letravel whines like a girl

"I definitely saw DeShawn coming, but I didn't know that he hit me with a closed fist until one of my teammates told me," James said. "If we were on the park, something definitely would have escalated. If we was on the park where I grew up playing a lot of basketball, something would have happened. But I guess that's what I want to do. They want to hurt LeBron James. It's not going to work."

I'm still at work, but my boy told me they are currently ripping Bron Bron on 1st and 10 on ESPN and saying he's acting exactly like Brendan said he acts. If that isn't refreshing I don't know what is. I wish I witnessed it.
