    They suck on the road. They don't have a superstar to lean on in those situations. Shooting %s regressed more towards the averages.

    He moves because Cleveland is fucking dysfunctional. See firing Griffin, the Altman bullshit, the Kyrie fiasco, etc. Also, prior to the championship, Gilbert refused to surround LeBron with talent. He literally had no choice. He played 7 years there, never demanded a trade.

    5 rings, 3 courtesy of Shaquille O'Neal and two thanks to Paul Gasol who before he was signed Kobe was telling anyone who would listen he wanted to be traded. How about the sweep that led Phil Jackson to retire? Kobe had some historically bad playoff flame outs that LeBron hasn't suffered...

    Sigh. Gilbert didn't renew Griffin. He signed some scrub Altman as GM cuz he has Jerry Jonesitis. He wants to think he knows talent but he doesn't. They were shopping Kyrie as part of a PG13 deal. Altman in his rookie ineptitude let it leak that they were shopping Kyrie. Kyrie got pissed and...

    No trolling no bullshit honestly tell me what you think he should do? Just lose, resign with Cleveland and keep losing? Put up efficient triple doubles and lose. Lead both teams in every stat that matters and lose. What can he do to all his haters that will shut them up? Anything?

    Same shit happens. KLove becomes you're #1. So they're what a worse Twolves type team. I also think people forget some of the guys who make max money. That slot doesn't guarantee you superstar talent.

    Also known as exercising his rights as a free agent. I really don't even care after watching game 1 last night. LeBron's championship window (and everyone else not on GSW) is closed for a few years at a minimum. Why keep racking up Finals losses playing for a shitty organization. If GSW can...

    LeBron never took a paycut, Wade did. He didn't join a team who had just won a title. He didn't join a team he lost to in the playoffs the year before. He didn't join another MVP winner. You already knew that though. As for the Kyrie shot it was big time. I don't think those 3 points won 4...

    There is no point about "old rules". That'd be like discussing someone vs the Warriors before there were 3 pointers. Blah Blah. Hand checking is remembered too fondly anyway, Jordan didn't have to face zone defenses did he? No. The Warriors would absolutely destroy the Bulls, no contest...

    It won't matter. It didn't matter in 2010 and it won't matter next year. If LeBron goes to Philly Celtics time is over. I love when people say series after 1 game. They lost by like 38 to the Pacers and never lost again. It's the NBA, 4 games to win.

    They're good at home. I think Boston is fucking this up though, if they blow out the Cavs then LeBron (and maybe Kawhi) end up in Philly and Boston's window is totally closed plus no way they beat the Warriors this year.

    Shit changes. That's why you can't compare eras. Look at the NFL now compared to the 80s. It's about protecting the players. On topic: I hope we get the Cs and not the Sixers.

    Pippen was the second best player in the entire league in the 90s. That's why when MJ went to play baseball they barely missed a beat.

    Ray Allen's shot didn't win game 6. It simply led to OT. Trying to turn a 7 game series into one play is silly. I can go through the game tape and find you numerous instances of them not even being in the Finals that year without LeBron doing something incredible. So let's not cherry pick...

    LeBron is 3 and 5 in the Finals because: 07 - He was 22 he had no help and the Spurs crushed them. 11 - His fault. 14 - Spurs ran them off the floor by getting and staying hot from 3. 15 - Dellavadova was his starting PG against the Warriors. 17 - A 73 win super team added KD. In more...
