Great trade Phil Jackson... 2019 second round draft pick.... Cant wait to see who it will be... only 4 years to wait

To be fair to him... you'd have taken a half eaten ham sandwich to get JR out of town

 

[Westy Bogan]

congratulations cleveland cavs and the fans. did it tough for a few years but back in town.

Must admit it feels good man. I was a Cavs fan from way way back and then my Grandma retired to Miami so I followed the Heat for a few years but this year I am well and truly a Cavs fan!!!

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Nicely done.

 

[DEVO]

this will be teh first time a player has made 5 straight finals series ever (lebron)

Did I read this right??

I'm pretty sure in that amazing era when Boston made 10 consecutive NBA finals series that at least one and perhaps four or five would have played in more than five consecutive finals.

A terrible finish to a wonderful season by the Hawks, they didn't deserve to be swept. Should have won game 3.

EDIT. It's actually 7 players from the Boston era who played in 5 or more consecutive NBA finals series. Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn, Bill Sharman, Frank Ramsay and Sam Jones.

Gotta feel for K Love.

No your right, it's the first since Russell's Celtics, first to do it on multiple teams (along with James Jones).

Ah good to see Cavs back in the finals.. But also the flip side is the people that burned Cavs jerseys when Le Bron left don't deserve it.

Which one should I wear for the finals?

I do somewhat agree though.

wear the old one so as to show you were there in the good times, before the good times. but then again one could propose that its a recent buy

actually go get this jersey to prove you've got cavalier blood through and through

Through and through since the 2007 finals. So yeah I won't lie to being a bandwagoner at the time, but I'm pretty sure I was the one driving the wagon after 2010.

I would post more often around these parts but I feel nbaman would enjoy throwing the bandwagon line at me when ever he possible

it's only natural!

Are they any chance against GSW?

 

[Drumroe]

Are they any chance against GSW?

Yep. Theyre chances are probably being underrated a bit aswell. If Kyrie is healthy they have the weapons to win.

 

[stewie griffen]

Are they any chance against GSW?

Well given that it's effectively a 2 horse race.... I guess you have to say they have a chance

I personally dont see it, but that doesn't mean much

 

[jod23]

Yeah I cant see them winning the series. Just not enough weapons and GSW are too good defensively.
