Manutd19: Yes. That's Westbrook for sure. I'm a Clippers fan but i want LeBron copping himself a 4th ring. No doubt, Kyrie is the most dangerous player on the offensive end for the Cavs. |

SmooshCHN: Seems you're a Warriors fan. I don't want an easy ring for KD, Shebi he no come Clippers, he went to the 73-9 team |

While Kyrie appears to be clutcher than LBJ, he just seems to be a player that will put big numbers and lose games without LBJ. Look at game 3 for instance, 4/6 from 3 29pts on the board but Cavs go on to lose the game because Bron had only 11. In game 4, for all Kyrie's heroics when LBJ sat due to foul trouble, Celts were still 10 up which was the same before Bron sat. This gives the impression that Kyrie can only do so much without Lebron. The Ws and Ls without Lebron even add to this fact. When LBJ sits, Cavs lose but Bron can cope without Kyrie and co. He has already done it in a few games in this playoffs. So what is the point to this? For a healthy Cavs to beat an equally healthy GSW team, Lebron has to play out of his mind even more so than he did last season. And I think that is highly unlikely. The reasoning behind this is facile: If refs allow all the shoving and pushing of Klay and SC like they did last time. If they try to snuff out the 3pt shooting of Draymond. They are left with that 7foot conundrum in KD - A player already difficult to guard even when double-teamed. There are other intricacies that go into this thought. Korver, Deron and JR Smith will be peppered by GSWs defense. KLove and TT are great rebounders and hustlers but their game depends on that of the main stars in LBJ and Kyrie who cannot iso the team into another ring. Shaun Livingston is hitting all his jumpers as well. A 6'7 guard who is going to be a matchup nightmare for any of Cavs guards. Then, SC was clearly hurt last time out and has been playing significantly free this time around. Once he starts aggresively taking on the man infront of him, it will lead to double-teams that would keep exposing Cavs to multiple free shooters not named Harrison Barnes. Anyways, the only thing that can plug all these holes is LBJ playing better than he did in last season's games 5, 6 and 7. It might be my GSW bias screaming, but I don't see that happening. 1 Like |

I'm trying to believe the mumu Tyron Lue is saying this so the Warriors think they don't need to worry.. Plot Twist: No one is listening and it's not working. If LeBron doesn't call Adam Silver this time, the world would be happy to watch a fair Series that'll end in 5.

Decale: You are right apart from the KD part. How is your babalawo doing though? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 6:05pm On May 25, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: He is actually right. Defending GSW just includes slamming, close-lining and shoving Curry and Klay while refs swallow their whistle. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:22pm On May 25, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: T. Lue is just a puppet in Bron's locker, i can imagine Cavs management would at some point be looking forward to Lebron's retirement considering he controls the franchise. Bron also has the league and the referees inside his pocket, especially Tony Brothers. |

Lebron took 4379 playoff shots attempts scoring 5995 points MJ took 4497 playoff shot attempts scoring 5987 points LBJ took 118 less shots and passed MJ in scoring Haters would still bring up the ring talk to discredit him. Best player in the league right now, no doubt Modern Era GOAT 4 Likes 1 Share |
