Glen the Oracle! He was spot on on all three points.
Great trip back in time. Sometimes people think they want the spotlight but can't handle it.
I remember when we traded Knoblauch to the Yankees. He won 3 championships but was never the same player. It really looks like all of this has gotten into Loves head. I suspected we were substantially overrating Love when we would freak out when anyone would suggest Griffin was a better 4. Now I honestly doubt Love will ever be an all star again.
It's interesting that you bring up Knoblauch, doper, because I see lots of similarities. On the positive side they were both talented athletes with a gritty attitude that allowed them to perform beyond their natural ability. But they were also both narcissistic jerks unable to build relationships with teammates, and with questionable relationships with women (Knobby's well-documented, Love's only rumored). I generally have a favorable attitude toward most athletes who starred here, but Love and Knobby are part of a thankfully small group of similar guys (Christian Laettner is in there too) that I will always despise.
I never knew LST hated white athletes until this thread.
Ha, I'm clearly a racist prick!
I like Rubio...that counts, doesn't it?
As long as you have nothing against Shane Heal, we're all good.

Oh great, now you're trying to get me in trouble with Shumway.
I have no comment on Shane Heal.

How bad do you feel for the hapless city of Cleveland? How much do you guys want a Game 7 back in Oakland? Well, you can do something to make it happen and bring some joy back into the lives of poor Clevelandites. Please be generous and do what you can to help.

That's funny LST. At least the cavs have a scapegoat in Love. Couldn't be because LeBron has been absent most of this series.

...Averaging 28/12/8 with 50% shooting from the field and has been far and away the best player on the court. What series are you watching, Jerry?

I assumed he was being facetious.

Ha, LeBron is the new NBA whipping boy...no matter what he does, the media seems to get on him for not doing enough! Not only is he an efficient 28/12/8, but he's also the Cavs' best defensive player.
I'm really looking forward to tonight's game,,,I think it's going to be terrific. The Cavs fans are going to be whipped up, but the Warriors get Draymond back and their defense is going to be completely different. It would be unusual for the visiting team to win three in a row, but I think the Warriors win a close one tonight.

If that's the case, then I'm glad. I've seen a lot of LeBron slander on Twitter throughout this series. It's outrageous what some people have said as if he's not performing at a high level on both ends of the court.

Game 5 Kevin Love got a total of 17 touches . LeBron and Kyrie combined for 120. They've decide the best way to win is the isolation game . Tough for Love to be a contributor when the numbers are so skewed .

Obviously I haven't been watching enough, those are some good stats, just seems like he's been sheepish and deferential a lot. But I stand corrected.
