The Cleveland Cavaliers lost a guy by the name of LeBron James this offseason, but from Tristan Thompson’s latest comments, you wouldn’t be able to tell. The Cavs forward sure seems determined to piss off the rest of the East, despite the fact that nobody else lost a LeBron James this offseason.
Confidence is confidence, and far be it from us to tell an athlete to go into a year without confidence, but let’s see how some of the East’s contenders feel about Thompson’s comments.
Warning: NSFW language follows.
While it’s true that the LeBron-era Cavs were a yearly staple of the NBA Finals, regularly playing the buzzkill to every other comer’s aspirations, let’s just say that rivals aren’t going to be as concerned by this version led by Kevin Love and Collin Sexton in his rookie year.
Still, we know Thompson is no stranger to stirring the pot from the jump — by Game 1 of last season’s Finals, he was already beginning feuds with Draymond Green.
