lolawilliams: Sister, have you ever seen MayWeather close to a KO and somehow stall for a unanimous decision? Have you ever seen Djokovic a point left to win a game and give the opposition a chance? These athletes will hug you after the game and big you up, but when they have a chance to kill you during the game, they usually do. GSW is the MayWeather of the NBA. The Novak of Basketball. If they lose game 5, I fit chop my hand. 1 Like |

A40: Which Cavs? The ones that will be regretting winning game 3 at all. The same ones that wished they didn't have to travel to San Francisco for the game 5? Even if Cavs had the next 3 games in Ohio, I still wouldn't give them a chance. |

drinkmorewater: Oga, let us not kid ourselves. For all Lebron's greatness, mental toughness is a chink in his armour. Lebron has been a posterchild for the NBA. He basically waltzed in coronated. We didn't see him lose in the NCAA and all through his 13-year stint in the NBA people have made excuses for him. Compare that to Curry that has always been doubted even by his peers- even after being unanimously voted MVP by the league. If Lebron was trolled as hard as Curry was coming into game 4 he would have balked under the pressure and played more underwhelmingly. Curry was trolled by the internet, JR Smith questioned his MVP status, yet Curry was cool both off and on it. That's mental toughness. People tried to peat him against Westbrook who took the bait and started making snide laughs but when the pressure was on, West cracked and Curry was in tact. Notice I am not comparing Curry's greatness to Bron's as Bron is still way ahead there, but when it comes to that strength of Character that is usually determined between the skull and just below the neck, Lebron is maladroit. If you think Lebron carried his team last year then maybe you need to understand why you think so. Chances are, the media had already prepared his excuse for him, so there was no pressure. But now that all the concomitant excuses that would have been metted out to protect his greatness e.g no healthy roster etc., are out of the way, we are back to that version of Lebron that should consider buying a bottling company. 1 Like |

SmooshCHN: Tyron Lue was not better than Blatt. 30-11 Before his sack. 26-15 under Tyron. Under Blatt Cavs stole a Home game at Oracle and was 2-1 up. Tyron is here making dumb excuses when he knows the refs wanted to even the series yesterday. |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:39am On Jun 11, 2016 |
Eruditor:Blatt let himself get intimidated. LeBron called plays after Blatt already told them what to do, he subbed himself in and out when he wanted. I remembered when he scoffed after Blatt designed a play for Irving which didn't even actualize and had 24 sec violation. And here is Tyron who was opposite throughout and was more Stern to an extent but at the end of the day, he couldn't hold it together. I won't say they lost because Tyron didn't coach well but because some of the played the way they wanted to and I blame him for not speaking up. Even if he did it all right, GSW didn't want any part of the 2-2 the refs were trying to make and fought all odds. |

Eruditor:Lol. I dont know what to say. For cleveland to win a ring now, its not even a matter of players now, we need a great coach. I bet they gonna sack lue cause I believe he knew what to do to win the game but he didnt do the right thing. we have good players but the coach didnt use them right. I wish love injury held him down throughout this playoffs, but that green guy is the best player in this finals asfar as im concerned. But its not over until it is. IBELIEVE |

Skywalker5:Mayb when cavs take a coach like Tom Thibodeau or popovic or mavericks coach. lebron sees the whole of ohio is house. only a crazy coach like the ones i mentioned can coach him in cavs or else,i dont think he can win a ring for them with blatt ot lue...i know for sure. But its not over until it is. Lord knows, cavs still havr a chance to interrupt history. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 1:35pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
lolawilliams: Exactly, Lebron is in between the greatest and the greats. MJ and Kobe are at the top ,Lebron is in the middle and Barkely is just not far behind Lebron. |
