    I'm really surprised to hear KD as being labeled "Class, Personified". My father tried to tell me that KD was a classy, good guy, but I didn't believe him and brushed it off. I always assumed that he was a bit of an asshole; arrogant and just generally a dick.

    Indeed...I may have to reevaluate that belief.

    The Cavs are champions....they're not...KD has yet to be one...lot of pressure to prove what a powerhouse they're supposed to be this season. They might just be the Payton/Malone Lakers

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Cavs didn't look or sound like champions last year when they lost by 30+ at home to the Warriors and James was throwing shade at most of his teammates on Twitter.

    Playoffs will decide all.

    I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure James shuts his twitter down in the playoffs.

    My friend
    They don't sound like champions
    In the end

    They don't sound like champions, They don't sound like champions

    No time for excuses 'cause they are the losers

    To the Cavs.....

    It's how they sound in June that matters. Blowing a game in December is no big deal. It happens. It can be a learning experience. They have another three and a half months of the regular season, plus the first three rounds of the playoffs to get their act together.

    Hell, we beat the Cavs by 29 last December 26 without Lillard. That was a team that had quit on their coach and they certainly didn't look or sound like champions at the time. What a difference six months can make.

    I'm actually hoping for a CLE vs. GSW finals rematch. Not so much because I want to see who wins the best 2 out of 3 but because I think the Cavs are the only team that can beat the Warriors.

    Personally I'd like to see a DET/POR finals. But barring that, I'd take CLE/GSW - of the teams that have a shot at the finals that's the match-up that I would hate the least.

    I'd like to see a POR/Philly finals because I think we can beat them.

    Embiid doesn't have much career success against Meyers.

    I'd like a Portland/Charlotte finals.....now that Nico can finally play the game the way he always wanted to...we can jinx him and take the series...he's usually tired of basketball by playoff time

    Did you just make me see Stephen A. Smith without warning me in advance? Not cool, man, not cool.

    I think he's become too played out, his act was able to piss people off so much easier in the mid-late 2000s when he's show up on 1st and 10 (first take) once a week or so. Speaking of annoying co hosts, I wonder what happened to Scoop Jackson lol
