@hoorta said: Well, I did hear come playoff time the best spot to play LeBron is at the 4. Regarding Love- he's a serious defensive liability- posting him up is an almost automatic score, and just an OK rebounder. TT is as effective in that regard, but he has no range on his shot. If Kevin isn't hitting his threes, may as well sit him. I agree with your opinion. If the Cavs make it to the Finals and play the Warriors- you better put Shump on Curry. I do think with the addition of Frye, they can match anyone with outside firepower- if they're hitting them, see below. PS I'm still pissed the way the Cavs blew the Rockets game- no excuse for that one. This team just has an innate way of playing soft when it really matters... you could add Mello to this team and they'll still be Steph Curry's bitches!!

@tour2ma said: Sources commenting on everyone overreaching their role... everyone except for one. True enough... problem was Banner's position created a 1 to 1 reporting relationship which is a business no-no. A special advisor would work. At this point in time they need a special prosecutor, because what they have collectively done to the Browns is damn near criminal.

@douche-nozzle said:Do you think I am not aware of the Browns ineptitude? What I get and you don't is that the Browns mess cannot and will not be fixed overnight. Ever. No team in such disarray will. Ever. Happens all the time, Andy Reid Chiefs most recent. Crennel makes the team a tire fire, Reid and Smith make them a playoff team.

@roach said: BTW, if Shurmer had already lost the locker room, he would have been fired during this bye week period. Don't necessarily agree with that. Haslam said he would not fire Shurmur during the season and I'd hate to see him contradict himself, plus do we really want him to come in and his first move being that sort of knee jerk reaction?

@ravens-purple-rules said: Please.....we are so happy to have this easy game. Live a Division I school playing a J/V HS team. Then 10 days off. This is like a second bye week to us. I can only imagine how awesome your life is to make an account on an opposing teams forum just to talk crap the day before the game. I'm sure you have a lot going for you pal, don't stop believing.

Zombo said: It's not reality. With just better game day coaching from Shurmer we would have been 7-9 last year. He'll improve. McCoy is bound to improve. Six rookies in the starting lineup last year, they are all bound to improve. With the right draft, this team could be leaps and bounds better. If you look at the "big bad schedule" and see 2-14, you are not only a penis, but a Retard too. Zombo I dont think our team gets enough credit. Yes last year was rough, but really who here was expecting it to be any different than it was? IMO this team is alot farther along than what most people think. In most cases last year if we would have one more successful drive per game, most people would have a completely different feeling about the team going into this year.

NON Performance enhancing drugs!! I'm still here all week!!

At least we know all games next year will be Sunday's at 1pm.. After this Thursday's beat-down,the Browns won't see Prime TIME for a loooooong time. Feel free to plan accordingly..

The Browns are so bad, they haven't drafted first, in many years. Hey, ....wait a minute.....

@gmp said: ...They have absolutley nobody at the wide-out or TE postion.. Ok, you could make an argument about the recievers but not the TE position. Watson - SOLID, Moore - SOLID to potential star.

Whats with the Knicks hate around here? They are a fun team to watch.

I would love to see chucky come home but i wouldnt bet on it.. Looks like lamonte is going to try and push marty morningsickness off on us... Either way any of these candidates are an improvement over failgini..

@1-more-season said:Protecting Colt these next 2 weeks should be priority number 1. Baltimore and Pittsburgh wont be laying down like teams did last year allowing for the so called "end of the year run" saving EM. The teams last year did not give up.. That is total BS.. The steelers needed to beat us to make the playoffs. Kansas City and Oakland were teams just like us, they were playing hard at the end of the season despite already being eliminated. And lastly, Jacksonville was not eliminated from the postseason last year until after we beat them. So you theory is offical bullshit... I don't care if people want Mangini to stay or not, but don't twist the facts to act like the players are against him and that Mangini has made our team worse. We are clearly better than last year and I would hate to see some other coach come in next year and take all the credit for what Mangini has put together over the past 2 years. One more good draft, another year for Mangini. Holmgren will make his own decision just like he did last year. Screw the media...

@gmp said:I'll check back in mid Nov.. Gonna be UGLY!!!!! Yes, It will be ugly if you come back ..

@hoorta said: BTW, you happen to be the same Gips that posts over on Cleveland.com? Had me confused with our Gipper, didn't understand the negativity. Yes, please don't confuse us. I am "The Gipper" aka, "the Brave, the Wise, and the Just". Whereas he is "Gips" aka "The Ogre, the Foul, the Purveyor of women and children".

@gmp said:CAV'S sign SAMARDO SAUMUELS!!!!!!!!!!!!. Now, doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy!!! (KNICKS gonna pounce on CP3)...that's (2)................MELO'S Next.!! What the hell is your beef with the CAVS? you are an idiot who has nothing better to do than go on a BROWNS message board and brag about your knicks, who btw won what? only 29 all last year. get a life man

Hey feeling a little down after MeBron jilted the Knicks too? Why the audacity of the Media Whore!!!!! Doesn't he know NYC is the media center of the universe? Of course the size of MeBron's ego now extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, and soon will be measured in light years. Just be thankful you didn't end up with this jerk. It's now about MeBron 24\7. Even forcefully kissing His Royal Highness's' ass will eventually get you nowhere. The South Beach crowd is gonna find out (like the Cavs just did) it takes 8 functional pieces to win a title. the Heat have three at present count.

@hoorta said:The quality of their bench will make a difference- unless the now South Beach anointed "Three Kings" can play 45 minutes a game in the playoffs and not break down. With 3 max players, that's all the Heat will have room for to fill up the roster with- guys at the end of the road willing to work cheap just to have a shot at a title. I agree. Given the garbage that they will have to end up with on the rest of their roster, how can they not have these guys playing the 45 minutes a night like you said. The joy of that situation is, the longer they have to stay out there, the more susceptible to injuries they will come. Some commentators around here have said: "I don't wish LeBron or Wade or Bosh any harm or injury". Well, I ain't them guys. I don't wish termination of their lives upon them, BUT, a couple of nice ACL's or an Achilles rupture resulting from all those minutes they will have to play would be quite a Cheshire cat moment for me.

sorry gimp, your Knicks still suck. Don't worry, they would have even if Lebron signed with them anyway.

@gmp said:IT's all about winning Titles huh, and you think going to the Bulls with Deng, Heinrich, Noah, and Rose is a Championship caliber team.. you can't be serious!!...yeah that team would have the whole NBA shakin in their boots....Keep in Mind Lebron would have a mountain to climb with beiong compare to MJ..all the time.....It's simple Chicago is MJ's town...always will be...Lebron does not want to walk past a statue of MJ every time he enters the building...Lebron looks and himself and I mean really believes this..He is the KING of B-Ball....even has a stupid King logo...that's a bit much.....so please forget Chicago, and they don't have the dough the Knicks have. In going to the Knicks...here's the way it shakes out...Knicks sign and trade for T Parker (check), Knicks sign Lebron (check) Knicks sign C Bosh (check), Knicks have a 6-11 outside youg gun who shoots crazy sick in Gallo (check) the last spot is still open....I can probably play that position...so that's a good start...then...next year...E Curry's dough comes of the books....spot open for another big timer....Melo perhaps... ?? so compare that to the all star team you put out in Chicago to what I just said...and Lebron can start his title run..in the worlds most famous arena...for years to come... Keep in mind the bar is set really low in NY (after the drought they have had) thanks Isaeh,..... Much better women in NYC too.. RED= CRACK PIPE ALERT!!! Wow, can I have some of that stuff you're smoking? Your whole house of cards is predicated on LeBron signing with the Knicks. Even if you should land LBJ and Bosh, your bench sucks. Parker? more crack? What you gonna offer the Spurs, McGrady's expiring contract and Eddie House???? :lol: Hey maybe they'll even let Duncan go for a mid-level exception while you're at it. Man, and if you can get Nowitzki from the Mavs, wow!!!! That's one hell of a fantasy team- and that's exactly what world you're living on FANTASY ISLAND. Hey, I just got a hit of your stuff- James re-signs, the Cavs are gonna get Carlos Boozer back in town, and will do a sign and trade with the Hornets to get Chris Paul.
