I was just a bit shocked.Yet here he is tonight...gushing and creaming his pants. Hmmm

The Windy piece on ABC was pretty informative and makes one think long and hard about the mountain that LEBron and the Cavs have to climb. If we go on to win this - this has to be THE greatest win in the history of the NBA. I would rank think higher than the Pistons beating the studded Lakers (Maybe i am over reacting but i dont care).
Exactly so there's no reason to feel bad for him. JR hasn't done shit in the finals for three straight years outside of a few good minutes to start the 3rd last year.This is bitterness, but he could have taken a somewhat similar, if less extreme approach, with Tristan in JR.
Instead he got those boys paid, and they are nowhere to be seen. Just eating cap space.
This only works if you're a great half court team. I could see the Duncan era Spurs being able to exploit this. Cavs simply haven't played that way all season and don't execute well enough in the half-court to be effective. They've been a push the pace team all season.
Maybe you constantly get LeBron the ball at the elbow and see what happens?
To be honest, none of it matters if 3 of the 5 starters have crappy games. Cavs have zero chance at that point.
Gotta accept reality.The coward really stripped my love for the game. I don't see how this is accepted and applauded throughout the league by the media, former players, and even fan bases. (Although I expect most are against it because it killed their general liking too)
I might even try to skip these next few games, I doubt my heart could, but my head really wants me too. Problem is I involve my life to much in this, everyday I discuss basketball/Cavs/LeBron with somebody. Anybody. Call it an addiction, I guess.
But I pretty much let Durant take my soul which makes his stupid Slim Reaper nickname even better for him.
I feel so terrible for LeBron, his talent doesn't deserve this shit. He ripped our hearts out 7 years ago, but still, he does not deserve this showcase, and he can't even do anything about it because it's out of his control this time.
We fans need to rejoice and connect more than ever before because this site is great, and basketball brought us together to stay together.
Yes, it definitely is a depressing time.
That all sounds fantastic but we are strapped. We have minimal room if any.Cavs need to retool in the offseason. Don't resign Deron unless it's for the minimum. Hope James Jones and RJ retire. Develop Derrick Williams or aquire someone who can take the pressure off LeBron with defense on elite forwards. Resign Korver and hope you can turn him around at the deadline for someone of need. Find a PG that plays good defense, can handle the ball, and be above average at shooting the 3 (should have just kept Delly).
This draft is deep, there will be hungry undrafted players. Find a couple and go after them hard as hell. Find those players that will get left out of the mix when the money dries up in free agency. Get that Terrence Jones type guy.
Always wonder, what would Pop do with this team...
This. Didn't LeBron work in this area in 2015? That seemed to work well for the team. It was a competitive series too without Love and Kyrie.
Ironically getting our ass handed may prevent a team like Boston from going all in on Jimmy Butler.
I mean why even try? Keep the Nets picks and wait a few more years.
You're very likely not even going to beat LeBron for a couple more years and even if you somehow did, lol, have fun against GS!
I think it's easy to point back to that series, but last year it took the Bogut injury and Green getting suspended to help the Cavs squeak out a victory. It also took some historic performances from LeBron and Kyrie.
The Cavs maybe still win without the suspension or the injury, but the Cavs added zero players of significance to a team that barely beat GSW all the while the Warriors added the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league and potetentially the 2nd best SF of all-time when it's all said and done.
You realize that between Durant, Green, and Thompson GSW can have an All-NBA defender on LeBron at all times? The talent disparity is much larger than any of us truly wanted to believe, myself included.
Gotta accept reality.
LeBron could have joined any other team. Hell the Bulls were probably a better fit. However, he joined up with 3rd best player in the league in Wade.
LeBron basically empowered Durant to sign with Curry. Because LeBron set that precedent. The crappy for LeBron's legacy is that that Durant fit much better with the Warriors than LeBron and Wade fit together. So he only won two rings before bailing. The Warriors may be on the verge of winning 4 or 5.
So yes it truly sucks. However, LeBron set this precedent of a top 2 player joining up with a top 3 player. It just sucks that this is what has happened.
The most disappointing thing to me is that I really thought Kyrie was better than Curry. If Kyrie proves that to be the case the rest of the series then we can still win it!
Kyrie needs to be the AMAZING PLAYER he can be. Its time Kyrie.
