Revisiting... The Cleveland Cavaliers
Vložit

- The inevitable has happened... LeBron James has left Cleveland again. This time, under less controversial circumstances. There was no major fanfare, no "Decision". There was just a small announcement that most of us saw coming.
Even after a brief time after I released a vid on this team, the nuclear fallout may already be well on its way. For all of his faults and ego, LeBron was the only reason the Cavs were relevant. This may get ugly for the Cavs.
At least you've got that championship to cling onto as the fires of the Cuyahoga consume you. A lot of other teams may be joining you soon.
And this was before the Warriors signed a Boogie to rehab in peace and potentially win a championship before cashing in. This league is fucked. - Sport
Want to know the most depressing part of all of this? That NBA Haters Guide I made had a near-100 percent accuracy rating with this move. A zero-effort shitpost nearly got everything right with this league. Hooray for predictability...
UrinatingTree this league is doomed
Go Pats
atleast you got a prediction right
Tree, I invite you to join me in boycotting the NBA until Silver is fired! Let's sit down together and watch hockey and baseball instead (and maybe some football).
I expected a general NBA competition problem video, but this will do for now...
LA Lakers: "You're fcked for now but LeBron will probably come next year and make you into a contender. I will seriously laugh my ass off if he doesn't come."
- UT 2017
Nathan Tucker no shit
*JINX!*
EXE-Edits One problem. LA ain’t contenders. Nobody is after the cousins move
Nathan he's quoting Tree from last year...
So UT is not actually jinxing anybody when comes to NBA???
“Lived his childhood dream” LeBron was a Bulls fan growing up. Speaking of Bulls they need a video
The Chicago Bulls: The NBA’s Torn ACL
Cristiano Euronaldo HAHAHAHAHAA
:( We will (eventually) reclaim our greatness one day.
I have been waiting for a while too...
Fuck the front office and anyone defending them.
I can't wait for that one, considering how they chucked Derrick Rose out of the bus without remorse.
The bulls: Jordan will eventually come outta retirement
It's sad cause I'm from Chicago
Welp, there goes the rest of Cleveland's economy
Rest of the state is doing well thou.
Jeeves Anthrozaur The export of crippling depression should delay the collapse unless the browns actually do something this year. Not likely tho!
At least we are not Detroit!
But Detroit is on the upswing while Cleveland is going down hard
At least liquor sales are through the roof.
Who cares. Warriors have FIVE all stars. Nothing matters. Thanks for playing. Give them the championship. It was a good run NBA. Hockey where u at?
Jeremy Hayes Right, was actually going to watch some more games this year but after yesterday there's no need. I'll just watch he pens get knocked off in the second round
the lowest lowlife OMG, ESPN is having a super hard on right now
Will the league collapse?
I'm actually considering that myself.
Golden state drew the fifth piece of exodia. GG
"Gentlemen, it has been an honor"
-plays violins as Cleveland sinks into the Cuyahoga.
Waffles The Wookie UT needs to make this in the next Hater's Guide to the NBA😂😂🤣
They’re back in the playoffs now.
Big RIP for the Cavs. Now we have to deal with Lakers fans again.
Cristiano Euronaldo rip to the NBA because Boogie
And the band wagoners, god I hate them.
I should know. My mother's a diehard Lakers fan.
and rigged refs.
Cristiano Euronaldo those annoying Laker “fans” you refer to were the Clipper fans when Kobe was hurt in 2013, then they became Warriors fans in 2015
revisit the justice league i mean the current warriors
The Social Justice...
Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom...
The Avengers i mean The Warriors
If The Warriors are the Avengers, then wouldn't the 76ers be some kind of Suicide Squad?
zero did you mean the injustice league?
As a longtime NBA fan, I am seriously pissed off at this league. I'm now taking my talents of being a sports fan to the NHL.
So you're not coming back being a nba fan? Ok
Nice decision reference
Almost one year later and...
The "paper champions" Raptors are NBA champions
The Klaw killed the Warriors dynasty
Boogie and KD injured and allegedly leaving the team. Klay Thompson out for most of the next season
LAbron missed the playoffs, but got AD in a Billykingesque trade
NBA is crazy, but unfucked
It's no wonder ESPN is going down the drain, they invested all this money into *This* league.
You talk like the NBA isn't *INSANELY* FUCKIN PROFITABLE, like it or not. Half of yall are just talking out your asses.
My Mom Says I'm a Champion I guess not profitable enough...
If you think the NBA is what is wrong with the absolute embarrassment of a network that is TMZ Sports--I mean ESPN, then you just plain have no idea what you're talking about.
Ryan Branigan bro that is the most shit hottake I've ever seen... The NBA is NOT ESPN'S problem... Their problem is that they got rid of all of their talented anchors and journalists and that they can't help themselves when it comes to pushing their shit political agenda... If you think it would be better if they poured money into Hockey and Baseball or any other niche sports that barely anyone outside of certain regions gives a shit about you're sadly mistaken 😂... Despite all of the bitching about the NBA the ratings are still sky high...
Make a Conglaturations NBA video!
The perfect thumbnail 😂😂😂
It's impossible not to laugh when Urinating Tree drops several maniacal laughs in his videos.
Is the NBA even worth watching anymore?
Not since Cousins' move.
Not right now, no. However, we might have a lockout fixing this shit up...
No. And i loved this league until recently
Unless you watch the development of young players like Ayton Bagley or Doncic than no
+Pswizzle13 I hadn't watched the NBA since this Superteam crap gotten out of hand.
Listening to Urinating Tree's evil laughter makes his videos "must watch" television.
Who cares, they got a title. I'd sacrifice 5 years of good Blazers basketball for a title in a heartbeat!
EDIT: I KNOW they won a title in '77, lol. I'm talking about now. I'd suffer through years of bad basketball for a title in the present. That's what I meant.
InsidiousSwede they already have a title... from 1979 lul
Why? That's so pointless imo, you'd rather watch bad basketball for 5 straight years just so they could win a title? That's like saying you have no love for how the game is played.
titles are the only things that people remember
Jason Haugen basketball is only known for winning the championship. Like the warriors they had the greatest season but failed to win the championship. That was considered a failure of a season. Even NBA commentators know that your only judged positive if you win the championship
Jason Haugen yes all I care about it winning a title like everyone should
Worth noting that the Cavaliers haven't made the playoffs with a team that didn't have LeBron since 1998.
WOW.
I thought it would've been much longer since that happened.
they will this year
Don't really care, now they will. Thanks Lebron for leaving, now they realized he is bad for every team he goes to nowadays, acting as a GM just fucks every team up like we see in The Lakers now. His trades away have become studs and the players coming in are just complete mess, AD being injured every time, Westbrick, Melo too unconsistent, piling too much pressure to the younger talent and bitching about the team he build plus blaming the front office and Fogel... He is just a delusional old man, maybe he is a superstar but he ain't a GM, reminds me of MJ back in the days..
They made the playoffs without LeBron.
The NBA is fucked, I mean it’s basically just a competition for second place at this point...
And now the Cavs are trash and the Warriors fell off
**Dat feeling when the subscriptions work**
Don't worry, CZcams will find a way to add a third and fourth button to make sure you don't get notified that people you subscribe to upload.
Happens to people I sub to all the time.
TheCoolComplexity I feel like fist pumping when I see a tree video.
I’m just happy that the Finals will FINALLY look different next year.
Gulf-City Umbreon yeah but only one team is going to change
Yeah! The Golden State Invitational will feature a different team this year!
Paper Champion Raptors
well, that didn't age so well.
The NBA needs to pull an NHL and have a full season Lockout
Trollvisor Yep
Fuck no. I still want to see my team play basketball. Idk about you but I’m a true fan of THE GAME, and I’m also a realist. There is absolutely no conceivable fashion in which most teams, including my team, could beat the warriors anyway. So idgaf, all I want to see is some great basketball. I hate that team but I love watching them. Just give it a rest. Hopefully they suck ass with Boogie.
Rishab Prakash Watch college basketball instead. Not only is it 1000 times more unpredictable, but the athletes actually put effort into the game. People are scrambling for offensive rebounds, nobody is taking 3 steps without getting called for a walk, and players are driving to the hoop instead of putting on 3-point contests day by day.
And give the Warriors a healthy DeMarcus Cousins with more time to heal from his Achilles? Not good.
I predict it by 2021 at the latest.
Might as well drop the haters guide to the 2019 NBA Finals
NBA really is the worst league🤦🏽♂️
That vid will probably be even lazier and half-assed than last year's version.
Who's coming out of the East though? Now that LeBron is gone, will the Raptors step up (probably not lol)? The Celtics are my pick but Philly is looking good and if Ben Simmons can attain a semblance of a shot, then Brad Stevens' job gets a lot harder. Dark horse is Milwaukee but I doubt that.
My magical globe tells me the 2019 NBA finals will be the Celtics vs Warriors- Warriors win.
High5 that’s my pick too! And the pick of at least two thirds of anyone who even pays a little attention to the NBA
Golden State vs Boston go watch some hockey!
RIP NBA 1946- 2018
*1949
the lowest lowlife You are right about the first thing. You are very wrong about the second, super teams and players not getting credit has always happened. Charles Barkley is an all time great who will never get the credit he deserves, because RINGZ ERNEH
the lowest lowlife You are true to your name. Don’t understand the hate for KD or the Warriors. When you’re a free agent is it not your job to sign with the best possible team? You’d do the same fucking thing.
The nba died in 2016 when snake 🐍 KD joined the warriors
Pablo Morataya it has been resurrected
RIP NBA 1946 - 2018. Twas fun whilst it lasted.
Charles Meyer it was?
You can't spell Cleveland without an *L*
Koopa Troopa Can’t spell Los Angeles without two *L* s
Lost
Again
Something that the Dodgers will lose the NLCS to the Cubs this year lol
The Real Jay Stone actually dodgers going to lose to the braves in the division series
Koopa Troopa unless you're illiterate
The Brykie Braves just got started so not a real team yet.
I clicked out of an old UrinatingTree video to watch this
Ok? Thanks for sharing that.
UrinatingTree has been spoiling us lately.
JR Smith disliked this, then forgot, then disliked again.
Meanwhile, the NHL free agency is going places. John Taveras to Maple Leafs, Vegas gets Paul Stastny, and Erik Karlsson may join the other unrelated Karlsson in Vegas.
Just watch hockey again.
LG GM im waiting for football to start fam 😃
LG GM there’s still MLB although I would say this season hasn’t been as good as last season, hopefully the playoffs won’t disappoint.
Mesousa Gaby Karlsson is at San Jose. Pacioretty is at the unrelated vegas
...and Boogie got injured and wasn't the same after that, oh, he still doesn't have a ring, even going to the Lakers, getting injured again, being replaced by DWIGHT FUCKING HOWARD and they won the title without him
3:51 "Maybe he wins a Championship in LA"
1 Win away from actually doing that
You called it buddy.
And now Boogie Cousins has become a Warrior. It's official: the NBA is an unwatchable shitshow
Omar Awad At least he won't be playing until January.
Ruptured Achilles
The only reason why the Pelicans didnt offer him is because he told them he wanted over 20 mil a year (which 18-20 was their initial offer before free agency). Either that or the news is a joke and is spreading lies.
Sam Ortmann Hold on, some teams did make offers but it was nothing significant because nobody is offering big money to a player who may never be the same again.
Except he's a locker room cancer. He may poison the Warriors.
The entire state of Ohio is going to Hell
Quaglium Quagnarr If there's a god, he hates Ohio with a passion.
We have no natural disasters so God fucks with us in other ways.
Hell has good local restaurants. Very spicy
Ohio professional sports are just dreadful, particularly over the last 30 years.
Bengals haven't won a playoff game since 1990, Browns haven't won a playoff game since 1994, Reds haven't won a playoff series since 1995, Blue Jackets haven't won a playoff series in their 18-year existence and have given up 3+ goals in all 21 playoff games they've played, and the Indians have lost 3 World Series including one in which they led by one run in the bottom of the ninth and one in which they had a 3-1 series lead. Their one bright spot has been LeBron James and the Cavs, and we've already seen a preview of what the team will look like without him (2010-2013).
late 80s - early 90s Cavs were actually pretty good
Ante Žižić is just too good right now
Luka Dobrincic Better than you trying desperately to cling to an old worn out saying.
I literally drop everything when UT uploads a video.
LeCarnage ikr...I even drop my phone
1. Like the mac miller music.
2. Cleveland has no right to complain, he delivered a championship and kept his promise.
Sominboy27 no one is really complaining. Most of us understand why he left this time
NBA fans, after LeBron goes to the Lakers: Aw, my life can’t get any worse.
Golden State Warriors: NBA fans, report for much worse duties.
NBA fans: D’oh!
The Sonic 1 Game Over music was genius editing.
JR: Aw man LeBron left... well at least we still have Kyrie
Collin Sexton: Umm. JR I’m not Kyrie
Insert JR meme face lmao 😂
Kyle Rudart "how is LeBron leaving we still gotta play game 5 vs Golden State" - JR Smith
DUDE, you screwed us at Game 1, so you have no excuse.
😂😂🤣🤣
Why do people even watch the NBA still? The parity is borderline nonexistent, the playoffs are extremely predictable and all the superstars join forces to win easy championships.
Carolina Blood Because we love basketball
awa Watch college basketball than the NBA if you love basketball
Because I support my team no matter the consequences. I love watching the players improve and grow
if you watch the NBA just to see players improve you are watching the wrong sport Huskey. What about the NFL or the NHL? There you can see players improve not basketball where yes you can see players improve but that does not improve the team like football and hockey.
President of Atlantica Tried it, don't care for it. I'd rather not watch Meme Madness. Have fun with it though.
3:51 He DID win a championship in LA.
And now that the Lakers are eliminated LeBron isn’t winning another one very soon.
ehhh he won it in disney world
Can't wait for the "This Week In Sportsball" video for the month of June.
The NBA is such a damn joke. You can't pay me at this point to watch this garbage. Hell, not even FORMULA 1 is as predictable as the NBA has become. There's no point in watching when you know damn well the Warriors will win it the next 4-6 years.
Balto Racing Damn, you mentioned F1. That hits home.
Go Orioles!!!
The Warriors will win the next two years max.
Hell, even NASCAR has a better unpredictability rate with the big 3 drivers, which are Busch, Harvick, and MTJ. But you never know who's gonna win each week, which makes it somewhat enjoyable.
Aw come on, F1 ain't that predictable....
I was really happy seeing how many NBA fans ditch watching the finals this year in exchange of the Stanley Cup Finals. NHL > NBA
The '18 NBA Finals even with a 4-game sweep still did much better in ratings in US than the Stanley Cup Finals. However the Cup Finals Clinching game drew close to 10 Million TV viewers in America alone. Not that long ago as late as 1994, the Cup Finals did not have any games on the Big 4 stations i.e NBC, ABC, CBS or Fox at all.
AmericanGiant100 and that’s just America lol. Not to mention everyone in Canada
Very true Ben. At least in Canada, always every Stanley Cup playoff game was always shown on a major national channel on free tv or basic cable on either CBC/Rogers Sportsnet (currently) or in recent past TSN, ESPN's sister channel in Canada.
It was maybe the biggest travesty in tv sports history, that other than of then handful of viewers who had cable tv then i.e I think ESPN had US NHL TV rights during most of the period say 1980 -'94, and the US teams in the Cup finals, almost no one in the US saw the early '80's Now Legendary Islanders team or the Wayne Gretzky led Oilers. At least back then the then big 3 US networks i.e CBS NBC or ABC (Fox started in early 1987)should have shown say at least the weekend games in the afternoon or any possible clinching Game 6 or 7 in prime time as well. Well that history though lol.
Back to the upcoming 2019 NBA season. Other than games with say Lebron's now Lakers club or the Warriors(which almost every game will be on so called National TV on either NBA TV or the main channels ESPN/ABC and Turner)I am sure the TV ratings might tank mainly with the lower level teams. Until the NBA playoffs start as a Long time NBA fan, I may not even watch hardly any games in the regular season anymore until this "Superteam" crap stops.
AmericanGiant100 we are in agreement
Campbell Kane At least they have Ohio State football.(?)
Tree, love the Waves instrumental in the video. That song is so good.
That Sonic game over music at the end sums it up perfectly.
5:28 This guy is the only one who straight up called out Boogie on why he pulled the shit he did! Urinatingtree, you are a fucking genius!
In other news, Greek Freak announced his undying loyalty to Milwaukee, because that worked out for KD SO WELL~
Emp lemon sent me here and I’ve never looked back great videos UT 🤟👍
Love the 'waves' instrumental in the background
LeBron might have left but me and Gloria are staying right here.
Until I meet Doncics mom.
Delonte West good for you man. I hope you and your stepson LeBron can finally bond together one day.
Can you do a more full length video on the NBA after Cousins moved to the warriors. Like how you do lolcow vids for teams, but for the league as a whole being the biggest joke in American sports
The Sonic the Hedgehog game over music at the end, perfect
1:21 not even a Jazz fan but Clarkson's amazing now
UT: easy ring for warriors ... again
Kawhi: A HA HA ha
The NBA isn't even worth watching anymore. I'm checking out and hoping that I can be able to come back in 5 years to see if the league is still alive and hopefully better than now.
I know by 5 years from now, the Golden State guys are going to enter their mid-30's. Meanwhile, there will be some teams like Boston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Minnesota (assuming Karl-Anthony Towns doesn't leave them), and probably a few others I'm forgetting about that will plan to rise up against the elder ashes.
AKay this didnt age well
Dude I know exactly where you got the music for this vid from and I love you for it
love the give up the goods sample at 3:13
Waiting for the inevitable comments saying cavs fans are now laker fans LOL
Kingof Grim yep!
Kingof Grim so bandwagon fans?
Kingof Grim they’re not Cavs fans, they’re LeBron fans
I feel like the NBA has turned into a dumpster fire. The two best teams in the East now are young and don't stand a remote chance against the Warriors, who then add Boogie to a loaded lineup. Can we just hand the next year's title to the Warriors without playing the games? I mean there's no point anymore. As for the Cavs, they are going to bomb again and I'm not going to go through this all over again. The NBA is dead to me.
By the way how are the Warriors doing?
Expect the warriors are dead this year so don't expect them to get to the finals again.
The Opps of the Fab5 Moment😈
I love your positivity!
I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I think Game 1 of the NBA Finals is the reason why Lebron left Cleveland again.
The Engie That Cried Nope that’s not a conspiracy theory. That one game sums up lebron’s entire career with the cavs
The Engie That Cried Nope he knew he was leaving before that, especially once Kyrie left.
At least the East is actually interesting now. I hope.
Gulf-City Umbreon it's not. Now Boston will go to the finals. Every other team sucks. Including the Philly
And if there's anything we wanted to see, it's a Boston sports team winning yet another championship in the 21st century...
This is why I wanted LeBron to go the 76ers despite Philadelphia being known for having shit sports fans and give Boston competition besides maybe Toronto. The East should be relevant again in like 5 Years with the rebuild of Detroit, Pacers with a decent young core and the Bucks with the Greek Freak.
The East was actually interesting last year. The Bucks nearly shocked Boston and the Cavs got lucky 3 times to get to the finals.
The Eastern Conference playoffs will decide who will be the next sacrificial lamb for the West.
That young sinatra background is so nostalgic
The sonic death song hits it perfectly
Most predictable transfer ever. Let's see if LA will win a championship by Lebron, and the Cavs will not go to the playoffs. And who could forget the bandwagons.
The answer is no because DeMarcus Cousins is in Golden State right now...
LeBron isn’t winning shit with the Warriors in his way.
Lakers to the finals in 2020 against the Celtics.
The Real Jay Stone good one
Haven’t watched the nba in 2 years and I don’t regret it one bit , nhl has upsets and that’s what I want
Was waiting for this
0:55 I friggin laughed so hard at this part
The game against the warriors was sad, if JR just put it in we would have won game 1 and the whole series would have been different, Kevin Love was playing good, and the team just had momentum.
The league is dying out. David Stern did a good job keeping teams from becoming a super team, with rejecting big trades, he kept it well even. Now its just a travesty. I liked NBA more than anything else, now its my least favorite sport of the Big 4. Smh
Sports And Gameplay Nation They are killing basketball
Sports And Gameplay Nation The reason why the league meddled in that trade was because they owned the Hornets at the time. It's a bad precedent, especially seeing that David Stern never gave a reason.
Sports And Gameplay Nation The NBA needs a hard salary cap. With a hard salary cap none of this happens. Don’t know how people can blame teams for taking advantage of the system. It’s not like your favorite team can’t do it as well.
It's still doing better numbers than almost every other sport.
NHL is probably my favorite sports league honestly. Maybe MLB too. They at least have more parity than the NBA does.
The instrumentals used in this video... well done.
big ups for the freddie j instrumental usage, Tree
The nba has themselves to blame with everyone trying to take the easy way out, but at least in defense of LeBron Cleveland never really built around him.
Ryan Williams+ With who?
Jonathan Issac Guys like Baron Davis, Mo Williams, Shaq, etc...
Ryan Williams bull shit. Cleveland did build around lebron. Lebron got what he wanted. Older guys who could shoot. The first year we went to the finals he had guys that could play defense.
Two years in a row after that the cavs were the number one seed in the east and blew it. The cavs should have beaten the magic that year.
When lebron came back the cavs gave lebron everything he wanted. We over paid all of lebron games guys. The cavs made lebrons friends coaches.
Look at the situation now. No one wants to play with lebron in LA. That's his fault.
Literally every move was stamped and approved by LeBron. The organization (minus the owner footing the bill) knelt with their faces in the dirt to grovel at the feet of LeBron. It's impossible to say they didn't build around him when he was the one calling the shots. When he wanted a guy, they went after him. When he told them to resign someone, they did, damn the costs necessary. If they couldn't get a guy, it was 100% LeBron's fault, just like when guys wouldn't come to L.A. because of Kobe's ego.
I just find it hilarious that LeBron is going to L.A. to compete, even though this just means he's unlikely to even see the Finals again in his career if the Warriors don't break up eventually or suffer awful injuries. I also find it funny in a sort of pitiful way that Cleveland's fervent grip on LeBron in a bid to stay relevant will likely cost them at least a decade in the basement. They could have let LeBron walk like we all knew he would, and if they had done so when Kyrie wanted out, they could have made him the face and built around him.
That's the biggest lie I'll read all year... Lebron WAS the GM this go-around in Cleveland and it still backfired
Time to roll out the tanks, Cleveland!
They’re back in the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
Appreciate the Waves instrumental
Do you think about doing one about the Chicago Bulls?
Who is watching this in November now that the Cavs are living up to the hype of being the worst in the nba
The state of Ohio is awful for not just its sports teams but also giving us the Paul Brothers.
The Bengals are relevant and the Guardians and Cavaliers are playoff contenders.
That Waves instrumental as background music tho 👌👌
is there a way to do the nuggets and Jokic?
Spoiler alert: The Warriors win the 2019 finals
Apparently some magic force did the league's job by balancing that Warriors 5 all star system with injuries, it's literally a rotation to keep the all star count to at least only 3 LOL. Poor KD, Boogie and Klay though lol
Nope
Clearly this statement didnt age well
This aged well
the raptors win
There will be a warriors video soon, I hope
*NBA
The last 5 seconds of this video are golden
Smooth jams in background
Well, look on the bright side: at least the finals won’t be Cavs-Warriors for eternity.
For the first time in 4 years, there won't be a Warriors and Cavs final...
5:28 Yup, that theme best describes the NBA as a whole.
CONGLATURATION, NBA!
I hope you are going to make a video on the Leafs and how ridiculous how everybody seems to think that they are going to win the cup WITHOUT a decent defensive core
Can you do a Rise and Fall on the Spurs Dynasty?
The dynasty hasn't fallen.
@@espn2383 I know.
But it's fitting now
The Spurs Dynasty was fun while it lasted
Nhl free agency video please !
Demarcus cousins: lolcow of the millenium
You and Ali's productions are my favorites that cover basketball. You both should make a video roasting someone.
Golden state drew the fifth piece of Exodia. GG nba
inb4 he leaves nanosecond he gets pissed at a GM and Ref or Coach after he gets a ring
Finally!! The newest season of Warriors vs Cavs has been cancelled!!
Hip 2 da game instrumental? Nice touch tree
Another GEM , UT...BRAVO!!!
