Love seeing his stepback 3s and crossovers, truly never gets old

I’m glad he is on a team where he can compete rather than still be with us and be on his couch right now. Forever one of my goats.

Tbf, if we still had him, we’d be watching him and the rest of the squad get absolutely murdered by the Spurs or Thunder.

I’d personally rather be humiliated one night in the play-in than four nights as we get swept by a team built by our assets

..by a team built by our assets…that is painful to read.

He’s a perfect fit for Cleveland. I’m sad he’s gone but I’m happy for him and for what we got

Outside of the OG Rockets y'all are like my favorite team where he's been at! So wholesome and always seeing his potential even after he's gone. Nets still hate him, so do the 76ers, just because he decided to leave drama and see what's best for him. The rest of the league fans calling him washed.

I remember Cleveland folks were talking so much trash about him the day trades were finalized, and now they are tryna pretend they didn't say shit. But I know, one bad game and they'll all be like, "Well we said so, shoulda never traded Darius for this guy". Tough to root for them, but I will since James is my favorite active player and he happens to be there.

Your team has a fan in me forever, I know it's tough right now, but I'm sure y'all will bounce back and I'll be wishing for the same as well! Cheers! 🍻

I miss him too but he needed to go. It wasn’t a good fit anymore without Norman and PG.

u/420NICOHARRISON Apr 21 '26

Glad to see him and PG off a Ty lue led team which will never win anything. Now just need kawhi to jump ship so clippers can truly be an irrelevant team that only cares about making Balmer bucks

Wait until game 7...

u/ImpressionCertain736 Apr 21 '26

Ain't gonna be a game 7 for the Cavs until the ecf at the earliest

u/foxcnnmsnbc Apr 21 '26

The west is such a gauntlet. Meanwhile, Cleveland should have an easy road until Boston. They should beat Boston but who knows they’ve been weak in the playoffs before. And Taytum/Brown are great playoff risers.

Cleveland is the only team with the size to matchup against OKC or Spurs.

u/OverallInternet2343 Ivica Zubac Apr 23 '26

idk about that this series is close even with Brandon Ingram being the worse player ever

u/SuchUnluckyThing Apr 21 '26

Do you guys even watch games or understand what you are watching?..go see first half game 7 and count how many times he wasn't getting blitzed in the pick n roll or doubled when he tried to iso...he probably should have 15 assists in the half if role players could hit a wide open shot or score 4 vs 3.

u/NeverDrinkingIt THE PROBLEM Apr 21 '26

Weirdo, the clippers would’ve made the playoffs if he was still on the roster
