I live in Cleveland and trust me when I say you do NOT want Shaq back. He did absolutely nothing this past season except stand around. He knew he was getting paid no matter what he did or did not do. He was far more interested in his endorsements. I've seen some lazy players but Shaq takes the cake.

I wanted Lebron to stay there in his home state. It was a good healthy rivalry between Boston/Orlando/Cleveland over the last couple years. We feel bad too Cavs fans. We felt like we had a shot at a title and now our chances just went down by quite a bit. Not as much as yours did lol, but still. This isn't a good day for any NBA fan unless they're a Lebron worshipper or a Heat fan. I also think it's a good comparison to how we felt when Shaq bolted on us and won several titles in Los Angeles. Just painful. Well, if you guys don't make the playoffs this season, root for us to take down the almighty Heat. I think we're the only team in the east capable of doing it at this point. At this point I'd even root for the Celtics to take the Heat down but I'd far rather the Magic get the job done. Let's just hope the egos of the three get in the way.

Cleveland has 3 pro teams but the last time we had a championship team was in 1964-the year The Beatles came to America for the first time. I am a Magic fan BUT I am sick of other cities getting championships year after year and I am sick of Cleveland's teams being the butt of jokes around the NFL, NBA, and MLB. There was a lot of hope in Cleveland with LeBron. With his defection I guess I will be well entrenched in the afterlife before another championship trophy comes to town. Ringo just turned 70 this week. *Sigh*

We know the feeling all too well I wonder if LeBron has considered the fact that he will NEVER be able to come back to Cleveland/Akron without seriously taking his life in his hands.

3 in the starting lineup from Duke! Lovin' it.

It's Dwight's little boy who is the innocent victim here. These lawsuits, the possibility that Dwight is not spending time with him, the fighting between the parents, etc, etc, all will affect him-sooner or later.

I subscribed last season and I had that exact same problem from about mid-March until the end of the season. I contacted League Pass several times and they seemed unwilling/unable to help me. I hope you have better luck with LP Broadband than I did. I will not be renewing my subscription.

He has had some ok games, but he has been disappointing. He is making an effort, but he has not panned out yet and he is in the final year of his contract - what happened to his shot? I guess we'll still have time to see if he can do anything, but I would not be surprised to see him traded - he needs to do something though for us to get anything in return. I still think the kid could find a spot in the NBA, but he has been a disappointment here with the high expectations. I have been waiting to see him rain threes and it hasn't happened. You can tell he can play, but I would like to see him do something good. His confidence in his shot may be shaken.

Anyone else notice that when JJ put on muscles last summer, his shooting percentage went down? He has said that last year was his worst shooting season ever and wondered if changing his body type contributed to that. Granted, even I will admit that he is nowhere near the offensive player that he was in college. I haven't heard anything about a renewal in his contract. He's going to have to up his shooting this season.

I can't believe anyone is caving into League Pass this year. During pre-season last year, the regular broadband for all teams was 89.95. This year its 134.95. That's an increase of 45.00! *** are they thinking of?? Talk about raping the customer. To throw people a bone, they are offering this 7 team package. I never watch anyone but the Magic but still it's the principle. Besides-their customer service is horrible. Mine never worked consistently after February. Every time I called, I basically got blown off. I'm not caving into this. I'll figure out other ways to watch the Magic.

Everyone in Ohio smokes crack. Fact. You're just one more idiot that lives on this Board.

Junkie-You need to get over your obsession with J.J. It's getting downright creepy. I think I can safely say that most of us are sick to death of this. Go to therapy if you need to but get over it!!!!!

I'm already suffering from extreme nausea from all the carp that's spewing from Cavs' fans mouths. They honestly believe that Shaq is going to help LeBron get his championship. It's not even preseason yet. *** Off to buy a set or two of earplugs***

Anyone that brings up two year old threads should get an automatic 10 game suspension.

So the best thing this Hall guy can say about his sports career is that he shut down JJ in one high school game? These sports writers need to go on a mandatory vacation if they can't come up with something better than that.
