LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Lebron is one of those guys that when he loses belief, it creeps into his body language and play. I think he realizes now this team is cooked. Even if we scrape by Boston we are going to get massacred. He is in a no win situation.

Feel bad for him really.

Yeah, I mean maybe he was holding out hope the Rockets could play with the Warriors and possibly get to the Finals, and then saw what happened last night.
 
If LeBron didn’t have to play elite for 40 mins a game maybe he’d play defense
 
Other than a lack of focus at times Lebron played really well and gave great effort. The rest of the team just couldn't (or wouldn't) keep up effort wise.
 
I don't like the argument that it is better for his legacy to lose at this stage than in another finals. However on a purely personal, non legacy level, who wants to be part of a one sided thrashing, having to go through all the media cliches, knowing you can't win, and you will have to watch some of your main rivals have a cakewalk to an easy ring.

No one wants to play the part of the clown in that scenario. Competitive fire might still drag him through this series but this is by far the worst Cavs team of these 4 playoff runs. At Least in 15 even without Love and Kyrie they were a great defensive team.

I feel bad to an extent. He had a lot to do with this current situation. JR and TTs horrific contracts, KI bolting.
He deserves better, but shouldn’t have pressured the FO into two bad contracts and the Irving fiasco.

Yeah because Kyrie loved Cleveland soooo much, and didn't really want to leave, lmao. Fuck out of here man, you're delusional.

His basketball IQ is off the charts he knows we have no chance against GS, can’t blame him if he low key rather lose this round than get another L on his finals record.

It’s really a lose lose situation, we beat Boston without Kyrie and Hayward nobody cares because we were supposed to do that, we lose to GS and all of LeBrons haters get more ammo we all know the illogical obsession with his finals record like it’s better to lose in the first round than make the finals...

Hiring and backing up Lue as well, he knows Lue is a terrible coach yet he did nothing to put his team in a better position to be successful by getting this fool fired, he did let personal relationships effect team success in this regard because he really likes Lue as a person

What am I missing buddy? You point blank said he pressured the front office to push Kyrie out, as if dude wasn't already set on bailing after last years loss. As if that's why he's no longer a Cav, he forced his fucking hand and made it known.

Their contracts weren't terrible at the time. No one thought that TT was going to knock up a Kardashian and become a shell of himself. We won a championship with that team, and would've won another one last year if Durant hadn't broken the league. There's nothing we could've done. And I don't think it's fair to blame LeBron for Kyrie leaving. He wanted to be the #1 guy and he knew that wouldn't happen here because LeBron is a much better player. He also had his dad in his ear. In fact, LeBron wanted to work it out and was mad at the front office for trading him.

They were though. Neither player had any offers, esp JR.
