Last season, during play-offs, after the Eastern Conference runners-up, Cleveland Cavaliers, beat the Eastern Conference Champions, Atlanta Hawks, 4-0 in the Conference finals, to some there was no doubt that King LeBron would end Cleveland's thirst for the NBA title and no talk of any mismatch between CAVs and GSW.
In fact even though they now faced the Western Conference champions, Golden State Warriors, who had eliminated Western Conference runnesr-up, Houston Rockets, 4-1, the CAV's fans here led by Raimundo and Nzi never gave the regular season number one seed, GSW, a team of below average players, any chance of lifting the trophy.
History, as expected, is slowly repeating itself...well, here goes, like childbirth, let's all go through the same motions again.

Usijali, sitaki tu kuona mnakasha huu unapoa, najitahidi tu kuukoleza moto wa NBA msimu huu wa 2015-2016. I hope nobody's taking all this too seriously...moreover it is just a game. Bila haya makorokocho, maisha hayaivi. Siku hizi nimeachana na stress za siasa, niko likizo nikifuatilia tu kwa mbali taifa linakoelekea mikononi mwa Pombe John Magufuli...I am merely giving him all the space he needs...

No, you aren't offending me,
A loss is always painful, especially 34 points differential; you need to find some words that won't give your opponent a pride.
You try to downplay the fight when you lose it.
Frankly, that was a bad loss and there are no enough words to explain it.

most of them are too young to define their career as below standards...The most senior veterans are Bogut(former No 1 Pick) and Barbosa....they all have had quite descent careers..AB was phenomenon since his Bucks days...The Brazilian Blur did exceptionally well during his days with the Suns..(if you remember,the Jump shooting Team concept,originally began with them)...Livingstone(Former no.4pick) was balling well before his career took another turn following an almost career ending injury...With exception of Speights and B.Rush(Injuries) the rest of the squad is per standard and above average..
I HOPE you know its unrealistic to have the whole squad averaging superstar levels...especially considering the salary cap thing...Remember this team officially began to be assembled during 2010/11 season...And for that short period(5yrs)...We have atleast three candidates who qualify for the ''Super Star Level'' conversation(or atleast an all star conversation)...
at first you said they were below average players(which I firmly believe you are wrong)..and then you brought upthe ''Super Star level'' card of which is debatable....
Recheck and put your facts together....Klay was an All Star last season..he is on his way to the 2nd all star appearance...
FYI Iguodala(although you havent mentioned him here) was once an All Star....
HONEST SPEAKING THIS DOES NOT PROVE ANYTHING..
Advice-To atleast determine if a player is below average or not you could have come with his career stats vs NBA AVERAGE STATS based on his position...
nb:most of GSW players are less than 5yrs in the league...young enough to learn and improve. ....Rather than discrediting them based on their rookie,sophomore years...Check their development over the years...Good day..

KLOVE ni mzigo so far..........I would take TT any day of the week....His rebounding skills remind me of Rodman....I supported him getting a max deal(thanks to lebron)....contrary to Klove.....He has yet to live to fans' expectations.As a power forward,He is no defensive maestro.His rebounding numbers have declined big time...

I got a feeling...or rather I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe LeBron may never win another championship.
I kinda feel sorry for him, though.
I'm at the point where I don't even want to see him make it to the finals anymore, especially this year.
I just don't see how the Cavaliers can beat either my Spurs or GSW [barring any unforeseen circumstances, of course].

No buddy, all he needs to do is to move; he dosen't need to have roots at any one place because that way he avoids responsibilities and cares! People like Steph Curry realize that though grass may appear greener on the other side, it is just as hard to mow but not LeBron...to him a moving stone gathers no moss, period. If he still needs a ring, all he's gotta do is move but I wonder what his destination ought to be this time.

Hahahahaha move to where? Wizards, Raptors, there's no way it can be Indiana and he can't really find a place to settle in the West conference... And with that move perhaps he's going to again be the most hated athlete as he once was when he left the Cave for Miami... I've never seen a best Combo and I doubt I'll ever see LeBron James get best counterparts than Wade and Bosh... The two Mega superstars who accepted to embrace him as a best player in the team and gave all what they had...
On the other side of the card, he's an unlucky player... He's finals appearance to the Rings he has won is incredibly frustrating... And this year it seems like he's going to add another poor record on his shoulders... I've always had one unanswered quire in my mind... Is LeBron James a winner???? Does he always need a full and healthy team to win rings?
Don't expect KLove to be better than how he's now... The Timberwolves let him go coz he had failed to lift the team to playoffs rather lift his own incredible numbers... He was the star there, he was the Timberwolves... He would've suited the Lakers better. His game will always have the ups and downs.

Sh..sh! Please keep your voice down...don't let Nzi, Raimundo and the rest of King's subjects hear you. LeBron could move to the city of OK (Oklahoma not Oakland!) or Houston who knows! Of course he doesn't have much of a choice but then who cares...it's the number of rings that count don't they? Nyani Ngabu probably knows better.

The thunders already have a ball hog in Russell Westbrook... A clutch shooter and their MVP in Easymoneysniper Kevin Durant, there's no way he can be added there... He'll always need that spotlight which under the two talents it's very difficult to get.... It's their home and even Harden had to leave..
Houston can be a case to discuss.... But is the Beard man ready to give away the leading role in a team? His MVP dreams will deepen with Bron's arrival....

There's one thing though...I am not sure whether it's only me. The CAV's game has changed, this season they are all trying to play like LeBron, emulating his moves which happen to rely heavily on bulldozing opponents. While this can work on teams like Raptors or Heat, it is a non-starter with a team like the Warriors. They create space and rely more on teamwork, skill and speed rather than a one man show where brute strength takes priority. At the end of a match the Warriors look fresh and relaxed rather than winded and spent like the CAVs...I stand corrected just in case I am looking at all this through rose-coloured spectacles.

I don't think he needs to move somewhere else just to win another ring.
But then again we may just be overreacting here because we are such prisoners of the moment.
I mean, the season ain't even halfway through yet and here we are talking like we already know exactly what is going to happen.
LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are talented out the wazoo. There is a reason why both of them were the overall number one draft picks.
So as far as I'm concerned this thing ain't over till the fat lady sings.
