LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

LeBron has to protect the ball against the Warriors better. If he turns it over more than 4 times he's really putting a dent in our chances to win a game. They absolutely feast off of turnovers offensively. Most of Bron's turnovers aren't even forced. He's throwing bad passes for no reason a lot of the time.

His handle has always been too high. Attacking his dribble is his biggest weakness IMO. In the first half when IT was handling the ball and Lebron was cutting, the cavs were unguardable.

Lebron has to get that 3 pt shot back too. That would have changed the complexion of the game. His slump coincides with the everyone else's.

It doesn't matter how much easier things are for him if he's consistently putting up 30+, grabbing boards, getting assists and being a dominant rim protector.

Durant's averages GO UP against the Cavs. Thats a problem.

It'd be one thing if he was just averaging like 24/25 points against us.

NO ONE thought KD would be this dominant against us.

Speak for yourself. A lot of people thought the league was ruined the minute he joined the 73 win Warriors. And we were right sadly. It's impossible to key in on a scoring machine like Durant with that sort of spacing and bball IQ around him. And he has a fraction of the burden LBJ does as a playmaker, defender, etc.

Literally ruined the NBA. Durant can fucking sit on his soft cowardly beta ass for a vast majority of a fourth quarter while LeBron exerts more energy just to keep the team competitive against Golden State, then Durant can stroll in and make a couple easy jumpers or threes and Golden State runs away and these idiot commentators, analysts, writers etc fawn over him and declare him the new King of the NBA. It's so fucking disrespectful to LeBron and what he's done for the league and what he's meant to the sport. Fuck Durant for ruining LeBron's hard earned legacy. Fucking fraud! Not an ounce of heart there, not a single ounce. Cried like a bitch to his mommy when LeBron beat him in 2012 and went and joined the best team of all time that he just lost to. Fucking tissue paper soft beta male.

LOL @ being this salty about an NBA player to which you have no affiliation. Jesus, I feel legitimately bad for you
 
It’s disapponting that LeBron’s second best player is either Kevin Love, or a 5’9” guy that can only play one half of the floor.

If that stays true I wouldn’t blame him for leaving.

Him and IT in the PnR is pure cheese. They couldn't guard it and never will be able to. LeBron moving with the ball in his hands would really push our offense to a new level.

The reason we lost to the GSW is the same reason we've lost most of our games against tougher opponents. We turned the ball over and we couldn't hit open shots.

This is admitting we have a ton of room to improve defensively. Quite frankly, as bad as we played I can only be encouraged that this game was competitive as it was. As bad as we were defensively, as badly as we shot the ball, and as sloppy as Lebron and IT were with the ball, we should have gotten blown out. But instead, we gave enough resistance defensively, and Lebron/Love scored enough to keep us in the game.

I have a hard time believing Lebron is truly as careless and sloppy with the ball as he has shown in all of these close losses. I almost think Lebron is making just enough bad plays to throw some of these games just to keep pressure on the front office to make roster improvements. If Lebron was making the right play we would have won about another 5-6 games that were easily within reach.

Lebron feeding TT post touches in crunch time is most likely Lebron making a statement. He's saying, "If you're going to put this guy out here with me in crunch time I'm going to use him, see how that works out?"

LeBron must be irony's #1 fan.
 
Let's be honest here, TT was an integral part in 2014-15, 2015-16. LeBron didn't know TT was gonna sleep with the shit show and his talents would decay with a drop of a dime. TT was very good at switching, defending, and hustling for 2nd chances, guy was actually hungry. That much we know, we won a championship and he got paid. Now it's all a blur. LeBron is probably pissed and wondering what the hell regarding TT.

There was a real hope after 2015 that TT would be our "Draymond" in terms of just an ultimate glue guy.

We watched him punish the Hawks and the Bulls. He was actually solid in the finals (although needed to be better).

Now...man...

I don't blame LeBron for pushing the Cavs to sign JR, TT, etc. to big contracts. There was no way for him to anticipate Durant going to Golden State. In hindsight it looks bad, but we had a championship contending squad at that point.

Agreed. There's a lot of hindsight 20/20 going on.

Are they the best deals? No. But they certainly aren't our main problem, either.

Our main problem is that Dan and LBJ are not on the same page, and this is affecting everything from coaching all the way down to player attitudes.

I'm not pointing fingers at LeBron OR Dan individually, but at both of them together. They are both to blame equally. These two fuckers need to get in a room and have an honest conversation about the future of the franchise.
 
Let's not pretend the Cavs have not been a cluster fuck since LeBron came back.

GM's and coaches fired, cryptic messages all over, annoymous players bitching, it goes on and on
