Eruditor:
If the system was that dysfunctional how did he win those titles? You do realize MVPs usually (if ever) don't come from teams not in the top 2 in their respective conferences.

So he was winning NBA regular season MVP titles by winning a ton of games but when it came to the playoffs the same winning team became dysfunctional?

Roland17:
Miami offered him a better functioning system in comparison to Cleveland.

Roland17:
So did Bron in Miami, especially during an Era when the conference had noting to offer the league.

lolawilliams:
Playoffs is still coming . We would see his stats then.

Donlittle:
A two time NBA MVP, an NBA champion isn't LeBron rival?

sapiosexual1:
And what's it with James playing down the rivalry with Curry? Abeg there is rivalry jor, hot one sef. Maybe not at the level of 'Bird-Magic as he said, but there surely is a rivalry.

popizaino:
warriors coming out of west is the easiest task of them all as they are already conference champion.

2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
*.
Milwaukee Bucks | SF
*.
Age: 22 | @Giannis_An34
*.
Drafted No. 15 in 2013
Stats & Info:Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Since blocks and steals became official stats, the only four players who have led their teams in all five categories are LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Scottie Pippen and Dave Cowens. Antetokounmpo would be the youngest in that group to do it.

realnas:
Guys do you that Andrew Wiggins is the 4th player under 22 to record consecutive 40 point games the rest being kd, iversen and lebron.i wonder why Cleveland let this go

lolawilliams:
Raptors don't even have a better chance against Celtics.

sapiosexual1:
Muna15 , let's not deceive ourselves, body no be wood.
T Lue knows better.
James isn't the 23yr old he used to be.
Kobe said similar things in his final year, we know how his career ended.

sapiosexual1:
How would the Cavs cope with Love's long term absence?
More minutes to LeBron and keep top spot in the ECF or sacrifice top spot to Celtics and keep the rooster healthy?
Cos let's be frank, now that Love is out, I can realistically see the Cavs dropping out of top spot, except they wanna bleed James' minutes.

Roland17:
How about that ankle breaker by Beal that retired shumpert into boots and crutches. RIP to those ankles, they may never come alive or be the same again.

Roland17:
Do you realize he has a history with BRON BRON especially while he was at Indiana? That is my angle..

sapiosexual1:
It would however be very unfair of the Cavs front office if they also waive Chris Anderson to add more cap space.

SIRcumalot:
A single moment doesn't determine one game,a series of moment does. As big as Ray Allen shot was it wouldn't have mattered if his mates weren't fighting back desperately or didn't close out the game.

You premise would've us believe that the other team isn't trying to comeback from being down.

Find game 7 highlight watch,you clearly don forget.imagine say Duncan scored that hook shot wetin Or LeBron didn't score the next few buckets.

Eruditor:
"Your team lost 8 games in January yet you have the highest payroll in NBA history. For someone who thinks he is top 5 you need to stop with the whinning. Print that".

Eruditor:
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.

Barkley and hopefully the entire TNT crew VS LBJ.

Eruditor:
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.

birdman:
it wont motivate anything. rondo is the wrong messenger carrying a right message. Rondo needs a mirror check before he starts pontificating on anything. I am not really a butler fan, but he and dwade have a lot more rep with me anyday. They could have handled this better, but who knows what else they tried. Rondo is a cancer everywhere he goes. Just tell the dude to go home.

Roland17:
You are right on the money!!! There is definitely a divided locker room. Wade and Butler on one end, Rondo and the younger cats on the other end. If you watched last nights loss to Miami, Rondo's group played better and actually put more points on the board in comparison to Grant, Butler who finished the night with 3 points and Wade.

Butler is not helping his development especially when he is convinced he has arrived the pinnacle of success. Many aspects of his game has regressed.

lolawilliams:
They need a playmaker for the bench not for Lebron !! He is averaging the most min per game because he has to play with the bench.

Roland17:
Where have you read about T. Lue building the Cavs roster or being asked before a move is made? Shouldn't T. Lue be crying wolf like Bron Bron is currently doing? What input did Lue have with paying JR, Shump, TT, Jones and the trading of Delly?

Chuck was very unlucky when it came to winning a ring. Charles was one of the best players in his era, he was very dominant especially under the rim.

Donlittle:
So Barkley no be Competitor?

Roland17:
The Cavs and Warriors (To a little extent considering the bulk of their stars were drafted by the Warriors) may as well trade for every all star in the NBA so the other teams can just move to the D-League. I am really tired of this mess, the league lacks genuine competitors and leaders.

When Phil Jackson made the comment about Lebron and his "Posses", the world clamped down on him but now i think we can all see what Phil meant. Bron Bron has this ridiculous sense of entitlement, and it is reminiscent of the African American community even amongst the accomplished ones.

The Cavs are way over cap the space with luxury tax tangling on their neck, and rightly so because of LeWhine. Dan Gilbert has built this roaster around Bron-Bron's need and T. Lue has had no say to his roster, no one is even asking T. Lue what the needs.

Charles Barkley put it perfectly when he said Lebron does not want to compete!!! and that is the truth. He wants to stroll to another championship without effort or shouldering the burden, however, he would bully his team mates to the finals MVP even when he was not the best player during the series.

lolawilliams:
They're are giving up to many points inside.. TT cannot handle even the average centers, he dropped 2pts last game with a weak D, he dropped 6pts last night with a weak D too. Our weak defense is making us want a backup PG so bad

Eruditor:
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.
