Isn't it kind of strange that everyone on the Cavs is wearing LeBron's ugly shoes?

So PP's point can still stand. Just say Redd is horrible in fourth quarters and Mo is horrible in the playoffs.

Neither are good problems to have.

EDIT: NVM, his point was more specific that I thought.

If Kobe and Lebron both lose this year, they shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Tim Duncan. And for everybody thinking TD doesn't have a chance anymore, remember that a healthy Manu will be back next year, and who knows they could still go after VC. I think next year the Spurs will be back like Brady and the Patriots.

Oh, go Magic.

Mo has made himself look to be the biggest tool ever. All his talk, all his chatter. Just a recap for some of you.

"I'm not disappointed for myself in not making the all-star team, I'm disappointed for my teammates."
"I'm really glad I've now made the all star team. This is such an accomplishment for my teammates."
"This is my first playoffs ever. I don't count the first time when we were an 8 seed."
"Whoever we play, the Hawks or the Heat, they only have one player, Wade or Joe Johnson."
"There's no chance Orlando can beat us four times."
"I guarantee we'll beat the Magic."
"Who cares about Anthony Johnson. What does he play, 12 minutes a game?"

Seriously, this guy is becoming one of the biggest douche bags ever. Keep the quotes coming Mo.

The Magic are just their kryptonite. A less toxic version of that Warriors to the Mavs kryptonite, or maybe a better analogy is that Mavs to the Spurs kryptonite.

They are also 2 insane shots from being up 3-1.

The Cavs have played as poorly as possible and have been all of these games. I don't know what to glean from that, but if you're a Cavs fan, it's something to hold on to.

The Cavs have played terrible, putrid, horrid, disgusting ball and some of the ugliest ball you'll ever witness, yet you're 100% correct but for a few bounces they could be a game away from winning this series now. Personally I don't think the Magic have played that well either for a lot of the series but the difference is they've had multiple guys contribute every game, the Cavs haven't even had multiple guys contribute in the entire series yet. If they'd got even a solid contribution in this series from one of Mo or Z or to a slightly lesser extent West they'd be on their way to the finals already.

The Cavs supporting cast have been a joke, I mean dismal. FWIW I think they'll bow out in game 6 in Orlando and we'll see a very different attitude on the Cavs team next season. Less of the over-the-top celebrations, showpiece high 5 productions, sleeves, leg wraps, whining about not making allstar teams, yapping in general etc and more business like focus with an end goal in mind - along with at least one other 20ppg wing. They are learning a lesson the harshest possible way right now.

Not for nothing (jerrod you'll love this) but Mo has taken every item of superfluous crap off his body now and is trying to be all business on the court (for those who weren't in the thread we had a conversation about this about 40 pages and 3 ECF games back), but unfortunately for him he's still playing like rubbish. Since game one he's now no longer tucking the underwear outside the shorts, wearing the wraps around both knees or wearing the sleeves on both arms. I know it's a weird thing to notice but I flat out guarantee someone has got hold of him and told him he looks like a jerk so take all that crap off and just play the damn game, guarantee it. It's good because he looked like an idiot, now if only he could hit a shot and stop dribbling the air out of the ball.

Oh, and Z is the funniest looking dude I've ever seen when he's angry ha ha.

If they lose this series it definitely would be filed in the "Karma sure is a bitch" section.

Mo is definitely getting knocked down a peg.

I'd say several. He's not even the best ex-Buck guard in the series right now. Rafer's been much more valuable the past two games especially.

I'd say Lue has been better as well. At least he's not hurting the team.

Although we all know this series would be over if the Magic still had Bogans. 8-)

I wouldn't be totally surprised if Cleveland comes back in the series, but it's sure nice to see Dwight do so well.

If they can blow the Magic out with some of the role players going off it could give them the confidence boost they need. I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

I'm still laughing over Steve Czaban noting this morning that Z man running up and down the court reminds him of a big penis. He said Z needs to wear a toupee or a hat or something to change that perception.

I can see that. Biggest. Penis. Ever.

lmao at Big P....errrrrr Big Z

39%, 51 assists, 28 TOs for Mo in playoffs, anyone really surprised?

once Orlando knocks Cleveland out the Bucks and Cavs should help each other out this summer if Redds knee is on schedule, one last shot for Cavs to win a title

also like the Redd/Stackhouse,#22 and Redd,RJ/Landry,TMac proposals

europa · Post #2756 » by **europa** » Wed May 27, 2009 8:20 pm

The league has rescinded the (in my opinion idiotic) technical called on Howard last night. So he's not one strike away from a suspension.

Just because he Jamal Magloired his way into the all-star game doesn't make him a reliable 2nd option.

rilamann · Post #2760 » by **rilamann** » Wed May 27, 2009 9:09 pm

It's not looking good for the Cavs although I wouldn't totally write them off yet but I knew the Cavs could be in some serious trouble when Mo popped off at the mouth after game 1.

Not only are you already down 0-1 in the series but Orlando is the type of team that feeds off that kind of thing and then to top it off you talk while hiding behind the league MVP and play like complete garbage.

If the Cavs get knocked off it will interesting to see what the Cavs do about Mo or do with him I could seriously see his ass being shipped out of town.If he keeps running his mouth he could end up running himself out of the league,no one is gonna want a guy who's mouth is bigger than his game.
