You don't stand on an Achilles.

There are videos of him doing light shooting. It is not an Achilles. It is a matter of how desperately do you need him.

Wade and Bosh werent past it in 2014?

So Matthew Dellavadova wasnt his second best player against the 67 win warriors in 2015?

Remeber the game in 2017 where the cavs outscored the warriors by 7 the 46 minutes lebron was on the floor but still lost by 5 because of the warriors outscored the cavs by 12 for the 2 minutes lebron sat?

Who was lebrons best player last year again? Remember how he put up 51 and got robbed by the refs and JR?
Past it but then qualified to how many playoffs after he left?

For whatever he lost in offense with Kyrie and Love he gained with defence with Tim and Della.

Cavs were losing game 1 with Kyrie. Then won games 2 and 3 without him. This narrative about how weak those players are is rubbish. Kerr had to adjust to play around the defense Cavs were throwing with those players which is why Iggy became a starter in case you have forgotten. Iggy played games 4-6 as a starter and won FMVP. Only player in NBA history to start only 3 games and win that trophy.

2017 season when Cavs were down 2-0 courtesy blowouts? The one they compensated him by fouling every GSW starter in game 4 to extend the series? The same one Love and Kyrie played in? Ok.

The very same players who had big games for Blazers, Bucks, were the players Lebron had. There is no doubt GSW had better players but it was not because of any injuries. That was the same roster that beat Celtics and kept most of the GSW games close. I don't remember Bron averaging 45ppg which means other players were scoring and with the 2017 roster you lost 4-1 so what is the big deal if you lose 4-0 w/o Kyrie?

You people should stop making everything about Lebron abeg.

Yea. GSW don't want to be that franchise that will jeopardize a player's future for present gains. We were only a Klay Thompson away from winning yesterday.

If he played all 82 you know i wouldn't give him an excuse. I saw the lakers before and after his injury. I saw them obliterating the warriors on christmas day. It was never the same after he went down and anyone who watched the lakers game will tell you that. I have no doubt in my mind they would have made the WCF if they avoided the warriors, and with KD going down? Anything could've happened.
There are a bunch of teams that obliterated GSW during the regular season. I don't see how that makes an argument for them. Blazers got swept after blowing GSW out too.

They missed the playoffs the year after he left albeit due to injuries thats part of them being past it, went to the playoffs in 2016 and got bounced. Wade went to the bulls afterwards cause riley wouldnt pay an aging old man. The fact that you're arguing that wade and bosh werent spent means you're just arguing for the sake of it.

For whatever he lost in offense with Kyrie and Love he gained with defence with Tim and Della.
cheesy cheesy I'm not even going to dignify this rubbish with a response.

In case you dont know who this guy is talking about hes talking about matthew dellavadova and timofey mozgov cheesy cheesy cheesy

All but game 7 in 2016 was a blowout, i dont understand which point you are trying to make. Small fry point is cavs outscored lebron by 7 with lebron on the court, still lost by 5 cause the warriors outscored the cavs by 12 for the 2 minutes lebron sat. Did that happen or not?

Hill had big games for the cavs too but hes inconsistent. Hood returned to being a bum in the WCF cause hes also inconsistent. Did the warriors have better players or not? Did JR smith blow game 1 or not? Speaking of kyrie i wonder where he is right now cheesy

Did the cavs say the same with kyrie and love? Or the blazers with nurkic? Or the rockets with paul? or the spurs with kawhi? when they did what did you tell them?


We dont want to hear none of that! Take your a-s whooping like men and shut the fvck up!

Lmao!! Bleachers Report is just something else with the Game of thrones reference.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:31pm On Jun 06, 2019
Kyrie joining the knicks is strange. I really dont think he can co-exist with the snitch because they're too similar except if they're trading him of course. It'd be interesting to see how that pans out. Happy for him if he does though. No place like home.

So which is it? Injuries means someone is spent so Lebron is spent since he was injured too for the Lakers?

I don't know how to relate with someone who is still learning how to think or converse. The bad contract that Tim got from the lakers is it not as a result of the way he played in the 14/15 finals?

Did the Cavs not win games 2 and 3 against GSW having lost game 1 when Kyrie played?

How many games did Cavs extend a lead against Pacers last year when Lebron sat? Who do you think you are conversing with?

For any mistake JR made, the game was tied at OT. Lebron did not make any point then. So what are you on about? I already said Warriors had better players but Cavs did not have any injuries to hold unto as an excuse.

I wonder whether you know who is behind the account you are using these words on. And I will eke out the last bit of my patience before I make you delete your account again.

This was back before you started watching basketball but wade injured his knee. Hes had one knee since 2009. Bosh had blood clots that are the reason why hes retired now. Compare that to lebron who had his first injury in forever. Injuries come with age small fry. Your analogies are sh-t!

Clown! That happened once in game 7! Dont come here and skew facts! I know exactly who i am conversing with!

What is wrong with you man? Who said its about injuries? Its about playing with inferior teams against better teams when you're the best player on the court.

Your arguments literally make zero sense! You agree with 2007 but not the rest, did the cavs have injuries in 2007? You're confused!

What errant nonsense are you spewing again? Wade had knee issues in 2009, Bosh had clots therefore Lebron was alone in 11, 12, 13, 14? What point are you trying to make?

What it does it matter when he had his first injury if injuries means a player is spent. Because if Lebron is not spent how can you make the same argument for Wade and Bosh whose teams have played playoff games after Lebron left unlike the 2 Cavs teams he left.

There is no need asking me who is better between Della or Kyrie. I stated a fact you cannot refute about how they were defensively. It is just like how GSW played the Rockets without KD and how the games went when KD was there. Some matchups work better with certain players than others.

Do you want to bet that Cavs extended leads against Pacers when Lebron sat only once and that that game was a game 7?

The reason I accepted 2007 was because Cavs were clearly overmatched in the same way GSW were overmatched yesterday without KLAY. No right thinking human will make that argument for 2014 Heats or 2015 Cavs when Klay Thompson was dropping 5pts in a series-clinching game 6.

Don't bring me 2018 Cavs to talk about being overmatched when he lost 4-1 with the same Kyrie and love that are all-stars as well. Thinking should not be that hard.

Are the Warriors better without KD? Are there matchups that favour the dubs without KD?

Recurring injuries when they lost 11 or when they won 12 and 13 and got to the final in 14? Recurring injuries when his Bulls were going to KO Boston before injuries on his team ended their run?

So blood clots prevented Bosh from playing well in 14?

The 2017 Cavs that were not overmatched lost 4-1 so how am I supposed to care if Kyrie leaves and they lose 4-0? LOL
