Game 18: Heat @ Cavaliers - Thu, Dec 2, 8:00pm [TNT]

[gflem]

It's not Cleveland, it's the collection of role players Cavs management brought in to complement Lebron.
To be quite honest, nothing but a bunch of losers, none of them showed up tonight, and none had the balls to even lay a hard foul on Lebron. No wonder he left them.

Well...the atmosphere at the start of this game was awesome to experience in person. Went quickly downhill after that...watching Lebron waltz down the lane and get layups was ridiculous, lay a hard foul and put him on his ass.

Also Lebron was talking ALOT OF **** in this game. I'm not sure how much showed up on camera, but he was in our benches ear the whole damn game talking crap. After every shot he made he was running his mouth doing his little gestures.

On the one hand it's hard to be that pissed cause we've seen this movie with Lebron before. When he's hitting his jumpers there's nothing you can do. But at least put up a goddamn fight and lay him on his ass when he starts showboating.

Whatever, just a disappointing night.

God the players are idiots. Lebron didn't leave because of the fans, he left because of his teammates. He didn't think they were good enough to win with, so he bailed and left them and made them all irrelevant. No more all-star games for Mo, no more nationally televised games, he left because of his teammates. And not one of them takes it personally? They still want to be his friend? You really think he's your friend? Get a flagrant and endear yourself to Cleveland forever.

Most nba fans were pulling for you guys last night and it sucks you were not able to even make them work hard for the win.

I am not surprised that there were no hard fouls. That is todays nba. Its always a love-in between players. They are all rich and party together and want to be part of the popular crowd. How they can NOT be offended when a guy quits their team to join another is beyond me. It clearly says 'you guys are not good enough for me to win with' but they just smile and say congrats on your new team and good luck to you buddy.

I thought Hickson and Jamison started really strong for you and had that killer attitude but your guard play was just horrid and killed the early momentum. As did some bad calls early although the overall game numbers were in your favor.

Wade came out harder than he has all year and really had Bron's back in this game.

The talent differential was just too much in the end and the crowd got deflated early. Maybe expectations were too high about actually winning the game. The Heat have been running over weak teams.

Hopefully you can take at least 1 game from them this year.

Before I catch the gauntlet of attacks, I will say I was born and raised in Miami and I am a HUGE Heat fan. Now that Lebron is on the Heat, I support him, because, in my mind, the love for a team conquers my love/hate for any player - and I really did NOT like Lebron before as he was Wade's nemesis.

I will be the first logical person to say the way Lebron left Cleveland was dirty. He ripped your hearts out, and I can agree with you all 100000% in disliking the guy, much like I think you all can understand why as a heat fan, I support him now -- the love for a team is greater than that of any one player.

My point here is this --- I think yesterday's game showed you how the NBA really is. No one cares about the fans - I mean, the players say they do, and they talk to the media like they do...but look at the actions. ESPN and TNT rub salt on wounds one day in praising Lebron, and the next day trash him to make Miami fans mad. And worst of all.....

....the players. This is their job. They are coworkers and friends. Who cares what team they are on? They all get one another. It's all about fame, money, face time, etc. That's why Lebron can laugh with Cavs on the sidelines. The Cavs players aren't hurt like the fans are. They still go home and cash a nice $250k check every 2 weeks for playing a game with their buddies.

I watched the game last night and loved every minute- obviously..... but I was also taken aback of how chummy the Cavs were with Lebron during the game. I can see how THIS would make you all pissed. But sadly, I think its just a reality. The players don't care whats chanted, what fan base is hurt, etc. We are all faces in the crowd putting money in their pockets. Tomorrow they will be in a new city with new faces that they will forget the next day.

I have no idea why I posted this - its a slow day in the OR so I had free time, I guess.

Go Heat. Go Cavs. Fan Up.

I am highly disappointed in the cavs players. Nobody talks smack to your bench without getting hit. WHere is the pride. And I thought that was a tech foul????

[The Laker Kid]

more importantly, I'm disappointed that Byron Scott (who was fierce when he was w/ the showtime Lakers) who didn't say a damn thing to LBJ while he taunts the Cavs players.

Dude. You are spot on 100%. As much as I hate LeBron, this post is exact.

If you have a problem with the moderation on this board then feel free to PM me, but to answer your question: Trolling is any attempt to create a negative response. Since this is the Cavaliers board and you came on and put down our city/team that is trolling. Dont like it? Go back to the Miami board.
