Watch game 7 of that series again
Like Game 7 was a near-loss experience. One Ray-Allen 3point shot away from losing in Game 6. The game 7 was of little consequence.

On a more serious note nobody is questioning his talent. We have said it here and even Charles has said it as well- Lebron is the most talented player in today's NBA. Which is why his crybaby and whiny antics not only besmirch his legacy but show him out to be someone who is a mental midget.

Each time he faces a cul-de-sac he starts crying for help like an entitled child. Last term he got a player suspended for calling him a b-word. Before then, he unfollowed the journalists in Cleveland because they weren't bigging him enough.

This is a player that selected his team both in Miami and now in Cleveland. He got everything he asked for including the coach and he finally got a ring for his team. All of a sudden things look rocky and he comes all out to throw his teammates under a bus.

Where is the mental giant that is chasing the ghost of Jordan? Will Jordan come out all whiny about not getting the right help? I mean, LBJ should really take a long hard look at himself because Charles is not the one disrespecting his legacy- he himself is.

You got the GM you wanted. Coach you wanted. Roster and now you need more more more and this is a top 5 player ever? I beg to differ.

If you lose this june, I just hope you dont say Zaza all star votes affected him in finals grin grin
You can try harder. If you had the capspace for KD you'd have gone for him. GSW took the L and got better. Your Diva is crying wolf. We had the best record 2 years in a row and won a ring before KD. KD needed us more than we needed him.

Iggy didnt go for his Yoga practise, he had a weak back
Barnes wasnt hitting his treys

I need a playmaker. Winter is coming.

Lool. its not old man, it can never be old as the Jefferson posterizing your Durant and Thompson(lmao), you joke alot.

What LeBron cares is about Charles tarnishing his lagacy? Charles been attacking him right from 'The Decision" calling it a punk move

Then after winning his 3rd Championship, Barkley said he would never consider LeBron as one of the "TOP 5" greatest players in NBA History. We all know that Charles is just hating on Bron for no reason.

JR and Iman were the knicks trash and still LeBron worked with them, they are far from being one of the best players in the league when they arrived to Cleveland.. and im very sure the knicks and the fans were excited to finally get rid of them.. kyle korver is still one of the best shooter in the league bt unfortunately that's the only thing he is known for. He's a one dimensional player and a one way player but LeBron is looking for a back up point guard, playmaker and not another superstar player.

I don't know where charles is getting his accusation that lebron is being lazy or not trying to compete anymore by stacking up his teams with talents that can carry him or Bron being whiny.

We have Celtics broom already. You should be bothered on how you'd beat Grizzles or Spurs in playoffs
LOL everybody was thrash and becomes one once Queen Lebrenda starts racking up Ls. You did not realize you needed back up when you won by 1 point in December. You get your arses handed to you in January by Western teams and all of a sudden people remember they need a playmaker.

I don't understand, why didn't Leflop take a pay cut so the team could have enough cap space to keep Delly? Oh wait...he was busy getting his ego blown like overpaid hookers. Now reality is staring him in the face and his butthurt self thinks he is getting at Barkley? LOL. Barkley is paid to do exactly that. Someone needs to tell LeDumb that.

You were talking about excuses and I am seeing Korver this, Love that, Shumpert this. Hahaha. If The Queen is that much of a competitor why must he whine and whine when things are not going his way?

I'd rather be Barkley who throws people through a window than be Bron who throws his teammates under a train just to protect his legacy.

And BTW, I would use that broom to sweep away your dreadful January and lame excuses before I think about the Celtics. You got fellated by the last team in the West and you want to talk to me about Grizzlies and the Spurs?

There's this African proverb that says 'A man who forgot where the rain started beating him can't remember where he dried his body'

That shows the importance of history. I know you are tired of people talking about history but we'll always remember because the 3-1 come-back is a big part of the Cavs history
Here is an adage you can quote as well:
"Truth sounds like hate to those that hate hearing the truth."

Keep reeling out moot history as if GSWs first ring is not on Cavs head. As if Ledouche did not need to beg the NBA to come to his rescue last term. As if Cavs don't have the highest payroll and started making excuses about needing a playmaker when the Ls started piling up. If Leflop did not get his feelings hurt because Barkley said the truth.

I am not tired of the 3-1 jokes at all. Y'all said it in December and talked about choking a 14point lead. Funny how nobody talks about that December game again. It is always sweeter to shut stale jokes up on the court like the 35point blowout we dealt LeBitch and the Lavaliers in January. We would have done same in June 2017 but at this rate it is clear Boston is the team we are most likely to play. Print that.

Ain't impressed with your number of wins this season as well. You've got a big four now.
Like, get creative the 3-1 choke is more than 15 Cavs losses back. At this rate y'all would soon say Donald Trump is the reason you lost 8 games in January.

And as for big 4..give us a break. 3 of those players came through a draft we didn't cherrypick and assemble them like Bron did..and we don't whine when Charles bad mouths us. We shut him on the court unlike some floppers I know.

Choking jokes are stale mami. As old as Jefferson. Let me tell you what is recent though: 7-8 in the month of January and LeBald whinning about how he needs more help when his team are current champs, have the highest payroll and never notice the absence of JR or Love until they lose.

Tell me if your guy is not a poosie. Charles criticises LeWhine's on court antics and James' decides to attack Charles off-court antics. Or why was he telling us Phil Jackson didn't talk to him 2 years ago?

Your team is losing games in droves and what your man cares about is Charles tarnishing his legacy but that does not crack you up. You keep bringing GSW up as if they won't beat Celtics in the 2017 finals tongue grin

Mr "I take the High road". Mr "check my stats". I thought Charles Barkley called him the best player in the world. Was he hating while he said it? As long as Lebum does it I guess to you guys it is alright.

And BTW, keep GSW off your keyboard. Cavs lost more games in January than GSW have lost all season. Says a lot about the Lavaliers.

All these Curry fans. Curry starting over WB was one of the egregious snubs in NBA history, nothing can change that.

I wont lie, Curry is dropping good numbers this season(not great) averaging 24.6 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds with 1-3 other All Stars/All NBA (including a top 5 MVPcandidate and a top 3 DPOY candidate)...
And the triple double machine, Westbrook (30.6, 10.6 rebounds, 10.4 assists per game) he has willed the Thunder into a new era faster than anyone would have thought possible when Durant left. but a big thanks to Westbrook’s imperfect magnificence, that Durant wound has been healing quickly.

That’s something that should havebeen recognized, no matter how many shots WB missed along the way (he’s shooting just 42.3% overall and 32.4% from three-point range), no matter how many turnovers, no matter how many ball hogness or whatever.

Well. i think the allstar game is a popularity contest for the fans, so they can vote.. Abi OohMpa, is there anymore thing to add?
If WB had started ahead of Curry I won't have cared but as Curry is starting ahead of him I can explain/defend it and be right on the money. Instead of subtly soliciting for it, You might as well post nudes here if you are looking for likes.

WB has not willed OKC into any new era FFS he is achieving just about what everyone predicted. He is a good player I doubt anyone here has said otherwise. Any other good player substituted for WB will just about average the same stats except rebounds (but especially PPG) and at a better %. Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie, Curry. They all shoot better than him and turn the ball over a lot less.

WB plays with the aura of someone being opposed and I respect him for it but please stop using his exaggerated numbers to demand sh*t from the fans. We know what we are watching.

I have told you people on here. The NBA used to employ pure popularity before and Curry won that dept hands down. Okay, this time around they introduced Media and Players' quota into the formula and Curry still finished above WB. So except you are saying we should just take your word for it you have no case.

Someone made a good case earlier and because the only person that refuted it took it back I rested that argument. Isaiah Thomas was more deserving of a starting spot in the East than WB was in the west and the numbers can show it. At least in your own admission Curry's not-so-great season is better than what Pundits currently call Kyrie's best season abi I lie?

Cause he dropped 40+ points, that's the reason why fans wanna see him starting the all-star game ahead of WB.

WB drops more 40+pts than he does, more APP, more RPG.
That's what some of you will never get. Curry had 43 points, 9 rebounds 6 assists before the 4th quarter. If he was chasing stats like some people he would have pushed everyone away to get his 10th rebound and dished the ball 4 more times for a triple double. The stat sheets and commentators alike will be screaming "Triple double" but what good does it make? Nothing.

If Curry was on a less talented team he may most likely not out-rebound WB but guess 2 things he could do easily? Score more points and with better efficiency. That's why I don't scream to high heavens about triple doubles and what not. I look for how a player influences games whilst making his teammates better. Sure WB has had a better season than Curry if you are looking at those numbers but fans who don't only look at numbers preferred not just him but even Harden to him.

I go with the fans.

To me, it is not a rivalry anymore. When you get to beat someone as many times as the Warriors have beaten Clippers since 14/15, we can't with a straight face call it a rivalry again.

BTW, notice Curry's crazy 3s again and how he splits double-teams easily. This is reminiscent of MVP Curry. If he can take this form to the Playoffs, Durant or Klay will have the easiest path to averaging 30+ppg.

to prevent lbj from playing so many minutes and running so many plays. There is no reason anyone with that much mileage should be logging highest minutes in the league, I dont care how physically fit he is. Get a scrappy savvy PG...doesnt even have to be a prolific scorer - someone that can keep offense moving when things stagnate for cavs like it usually does. Instead of inserting LBJ to bail the team everytime there is trouble
Trust me I agree he plays too many minutes for his age but, this is a guy Lebtards almost say can cure cancer. I think he should man up and trust his teammates. They started well this season and got Korver midway. Their offense was flowing and they did not look defensively inept as they do now. I agree with people who say they need to take defense more seriously. I still don't think they lost those games due to LBJs many mins.

You still haven't explained how you need a playmaker. To stop the opposition from scoring or for helping Cavs close well? I don't understand.

Butler and Dwade public show of shame will definitely motivate the young guys to do more but I don't see the team playing together for a long time. The incident shows that the management can not trust Jimmy with the leadership role and that some players among them don't trust the coach.

They need to offload those three goons they call leaders.

Sorry to hear that if you're a fan of the bulls cheesy
The coach is decent but for another roster. He needs faster players. Wade is planning his way out. Butler is in over his head. I understand what Rondo was trying to do but...that guy is a dressing room nightmare. They should all leave while Bulls restrategize and recoup.

You know your man is making excuses. Accept it.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 12:17pm On Jan 27, 2017
All parties involved in the Bulls' debacle are guilty as sin.

Wade had a bad previous game but I did not see him call himself out. Now he plays one good game and decides to call his teammmates out. That's just bad leadership. On the flipside, he is one player on that team that has had 12 All star years and 3 rings to show for it so he might have a case.

Butler on the other hand is overrated. 6 years in the league and 3 All star places- what else? An Olympic medal but it has nothing to do with his NBA team so what is he on? He should STFU and achieve something before thinking he could throw his teammates under the bus. Noah, Rose and Deng have left the team for him and the Bulls still look like a$$. If he sees Wade talking in public he should have taken his own grouse to the dressing room not to come online and be using expletives like an ignoramus.

As for Rajon, he too should have been the more mature vet and discussed with the teammates away from the media. Maybe he has forgotten he too is a vet with a ring to his resumé. For someone whose IQ may be the highest in the whole association, he sure does and says some stupid things for glory hunting.

Perhaps, they are making their way out. Maybe Lebron wants to reconnect with Wade at Cavs because one never can tell with that crybaby and his posse. But they should all do some self-introspection before calling GMs or other players out. I do recall that LBJ opted out of his contract and was given something really heavy this pre season. I also remember he unfollowed most of the Cleveland and Cavs' media/journalists who weren't kissing his Butt before the playoffs kicked-off. Dude has a history of whining and acting like a diva till he gets what he wants. He has no excuse this time around.

2nd time in his career last time being 2011. His numbers are not bad. Neither is Kyries or even the team as a whole. They just leak badly. If they keep thinking it is a personnel issue, they would be sorely mistaken. I think that "coasting", "this isn't the NBA finals" mentality has decommissioned them.

I totally agree with you but the Cavs management also did a poor job on that roster. The team is not balanced right now and any injury to Kyrie could cost the team a whole lot.
What position does Kay Felder play?

Well, their cap space did not let them keep Delly as someone rightly said. I can't blame management. This was the roster that began the season save Korver. It is obviously a bad patch for the Cavs but I think it is more tactical and mental. They defend piss-poorly.

these guy are remembering things different.
Remember Tristan took less than the max.
J.R in his first F.A opted out of his contract to test the market and he wasn't properly courted so the cavs lowballed him and he had to sign for less until after the cavs won the championship.then he had all the power.
Any decent Agency would have gotten the same for their clients.
what I find very distasteful is how the NBA allowed an active player to have his own sport agency at least don't allow him to sign NBA players.
Not just his agency; but that he could affect deals of players under his management that play for the same team.
