The game.. I expect to get killed but it should be interesting to say the least.. I think it deserves it's own thread.

I actually think Cleveland stands a chance

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

I've got Cleveland winning.

You going, Cheats?

I wonder what Cleveland would be like if James would of stayed. An improved Hickson, Mo Will, maybe they would of still brought in Sessions. Improved Gibson. I think they would be a heck of a lot better than 10-8.

Really can't wait for it. Wish I could go.

Its going to be a very emotional game and if we win, it will give the Cavs a huge boost in morale.

They'd be the same team as last year.

I see the heat winning this. *waiting for cheato to flame*

They'd be the same team as last year.

Except for better. Hickson is better, Gibson is better, Sessions is there and he is decent.

The only reason Hickson and Gibson are being given a chance to shine is because Lebron's gone. If he were still there they probably would still have been buried on the bench, and it would still pretty much be the same team + Sessions.

 

[DJT]

Eh...I think Hickson and Gibson would still get time if they showed they deserved it.

Plus LeBron likes getting triple doubles, and Hickson and Gibson playing would help him get more assists.

Going into the year, I would of said Cleveland didn't have a chance, but they have played better than I thought they would, and with the Heat and their track record, this season, they seem to struggle just about every game. They barely beat the Wizards, without John Wall. I've got Cleveland winning this.

You going, Cheats?

I tried to get tickets from a friend of mine who works for the Cavs but wasn't gonna happen.

Anyway, we would definitely be great this year if we still had Le<Censored>.. Byron Scott is an actual coach, unlike Mike Brown..

LeBron James is preparing for an emotional return to Cleveland as a member of the visiting team on Thursday night.

He was asked on Tuesday whether he'd eventually like to see his jersey hanging in the rafters at Quicken Loans Arena.

"Wow. Of course," James said. "If that's something that organization and franchise would do, I'm all respectful of that. I just tried to be the best player I could be every night, whether I was in that Cavalier uniform, that USA uniform. If that results in me having my jersey retired that would be great."

James added that he'll be ready for whatever response he receives when the Heat battle the Cavaliers in Cleveland later this week.

"I'm ready for whatever response I'm going to get," James said. "It's going to be very emotional. I give a lot of thanks to that city, a lot of thanks to those fans for giving me the opportunity to not only showcase my talent, but to grow from a young boy to a man during my seven years. So it's going to be very emotionally draining. I can tell already."

Ryan Hollins has a better chance of getting his number retired here then LeBron does.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Lol I was about to say why the hell would they retire his jersey.

 

[RipCity32]

Cleveland should give him a standing ovation for single handedly even putting that terrible team on the map lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

We are talking about LeBron James right? Embarrassed/gave the middle finger to that franchise and city on national television. Why would he get a standing ovation?

 

[RipCity32]

Did you not read my post? lol
He put Cleveland on the NBA map. He put the whole city on his back lol.
