Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Indiana with all its problems, and shit maybe New Jersey will make the Play Offs in the Eastern Conference and the guy supposed to be "the next/better than" Jordan, with a teammate like All Star's Zydrunas Ilgauskas and a pretty good team surrounding him.. he can't carry his team ahead those wack teams to reach a Play Offs spot?

I was quoting 7even. Read his post in the first page! ("A good coach can't change the potential of a team and its players, which Cavs don't lack, but.."). Actually i was making fun of it. That's what i think about Cavs being wack anyway.

An Nik is the only one who understood the real meaning of my topic.

^^ wtf.. that's from the post you started the thread with.. I posted later, how the hell does that make sense?
TobyTizzle:
^^^ Exactly... how can you quote someone, on something they havent said yet... face it, you fucked up...
and I dont care if NIK is the only one who got what you're saying, im not here for a Kobe/LA vs. LeBron/Cavs war or whatever's going on, on this topic, you have clearly proven you have no idea...
seems like all your arguments keep turning into 'an obvious joke' or 'just for reaction'...
u got rolled homie :D lol

ROFL! Ok, anyway let me explain it without quoting 7even, lol. I'm saying that Cavs, playing in the East Coast and being #2 for a pretty long time, had a team who could have made it into the Play Offs easly, expecially if you think they have 2 All Stars in the team, and if you consider the rest of the players as role players playing for them. It's a pretty good team, under this point of view, to reach the #8 spot in the East. I wrote: "You gotta be kidding me!! Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Indiana with all its problems, and shit maybe New Jersey will make the Play Offs in the Eastern Conference and the guy supposed to be "the next/better than" Jordan, with a teammate like All Star's Zydrunas Ilgauskas and a pretty good team surrounding him.. he can't carry his team ahead those wack teams to reach a Play Offs spot?". I was easly talking about the East Coast. Now it's obvious that if we talk in general, Cavs are wack compared to teams like San Antonio, Phoenix, Miami, Dallas, Seattle, Detroit, Sacramento, Denver, Houston, but i was comparing them to Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Indiana and New Jersey, the teams who made the Play Offs in the Eastern Conference. Get it? I'm blaming Cavs and LeBron because it was possible for them to reach the Play Offs, considering how wack the other teams in the East are. Boston has no all stars. Washington has no all stars. Chicago has no all stars. Indiana had a lot of troubles.. But they still made it. Cavs didnt. It's too easy imo to say Cavs are a wack team. No. They are good enought (2 All Stars + role players) to reach the Play Offs. They failed. Then it's obvious the team is wack compared to the best ones of the League, but they didnt have to win the title. They had to reach the Play Offs. It's a failure.

its true, it is a failure. Like u said, only really because theyre in the East. Shit, i could put together a team at tha local YMCA that could make the playoffs in the East lol. Now, the season is a failure for the Cavs. I dont really think Lebron himself is a failure. I mean shit, the guy is a kid. Obviously expectations are high for him. Maybe higher then any player coming into the league ever. But we gotta give him SOME time to develop.
