Lebron is decent

The block/charge.... Whether you want to argue if it should have been reviewed or not is fine, but ultimately the correct call was made. LeBron wasn’t set, and he was still leaning into KD after KD had already started his shooting motion.

Also, why was LeBron sitting in his backcourt arguing with Steph and Klay while his team was losing and on the other end of the court playing offense? That ignited the entire TT/Livingston thing. Hopefully no suspensions come from this and we get 6 more close games.

And that wasn’t Lebron’s first bitchfest of the night. No one will mention this because he had 51 and is getting to play the victim of the block/charge reversal, but he also spent two plays in the final 3 mins of regulation arguing with the refs and the warriors scored 5 points on those two plays. Again: 5 points in the final 3 minutes of a game that went into OT because LeBron decided to argue with refs instead of getting back on D!?! I’d argue that’s even worse than JR’s stupidity, because you can’t control JRs rampant stupidity. I’d argue that’s even worse than not even looking to score on the final possession and instead opting to pass it off to George ******* Hill to win you an NBA finals game, because that’s typical LeBron...pushing the blame or the potential for the blame on someone else so he can play the victim of subpar teammates. 

I think LeBron is insane. He’s the best baller in the NBA going on 14 straight years. He’s truly an admirable King off the court and makes me want to like him so much. If you want to argue that he’s the GOAT over Michael, I’m not going to give you sh*t for it. But the way he’s been playing himself up as a both a victim of his team’s circumstances while also acting like he’s their puppet master is a microcosm of what he’s been for his entire career: an insecure, bitchy uberstar.

Well. I mean he did beg for the Cavs to sign JR Smith. So. Play in the mess you made. 

His moves as a shadow GM have been awful for years. If he weren’t so good and the rest of the east weren’t so bad for all these years, people would be talking about it so much more.

One of the worst NBA calls I have ever seen . . . which, is really saying something

13 point spread in the game last night.  Refs knew their only shot to take care of the sportsbooks was to get it into OT and they almost got the warriors to cover

 

 

bring on legalized sports betting!

You don’t have to be “set” to get the charge. 

All sports are plagued by bad calls. We’re in 2018 and we’re still reliant on humans to judge fairness. Not sure what the alternative is, but it’s rampant throughout all sports.

Yeah, but that was egregious though, and it went through a replay! And the replay was illegal! And rules-harpy Van Gundy was still talking about the restricted area even as the replay showed Lebron way out in front of the restricted area!

Still infuriated by that charge call. That was some slimy Jake O’Donnell sh*t

Right! Forget the JR crap.. that charge would of changed everything.. Bron would of have got the ball back and ran the clock out.. secured the win with one last bucket. And you are 10000% right. You do not have to be necessarily “set”. He was in a legal defending position and as far as I’m concerned he sold it good enough.

I really feel bad for Bron, man. He had one of the best finals performances to date...and one idiot messed that up. ...if he would of dished that ball to George Hill earlier than he did.. I think Hill had a decent chance of getting that basket. Just terrible. I hope this doesn’t change the dynamic of the entire series. 

Cleveland played this game so tight but because of acceptable defense and they were monsters on the glass. Now Tristian Thompson is going to get suspended and the lack of his presence is going to hurt. They played size versus the Warriors and it worked to a decent extent. This sucks. I hope they can have the same success next game ... minus a JR Smith **** up.

Methinks that last night’s game was the chance for Cleveland to change the dynamic of the series. LeBron is not gonna play like that again and Durant is not gonna miss 60% of his shots again. I think.

LeBron will most likely play like that again. Trust.

His last 8 games have all been 40 point games. He’s in a zone right now.

The people feeling bad for lebron in this thread sound like the people who feel bad for Sanchez in other threads.

Why is Lebron holding the ball and not even looking to score on that final play? He’s down 1, and he’s putting the game in George ******* Hill’s hands after running the clock down to 4 seconds? Cmon. 

Lebron gave up 5 crucial points in the final 3 mins by complaining about calls/no calls instead of playing D.

If Lebron gets all the credit for dragging this team to the finals (“greatest achievement”...even better than bringing a champ to Cleveland ?), then he needs to be blasted for things like this.

Hopefully Lebron wins at least a few of these next games so we get a fun series. Game 1 was awesome.

'Michael Jordan would never have __________ to win' cannot be made into a true statement. Formed a superteam, ****ed a goat, blown the guy who offed his dad, it doesn't matter how you fill in the blank. It was kind of his thing. And everybody acknowledges it except when it's time to face reality. Michael Jordan would have done anything to win EXCEPT WHAT LEBRON DID. Yeah, okay. Grow up.

Michael Jordan's ego would never have allowed him to go to another team to win.  Lebron wanted the easy way out and took it.

Love is NOT better than any player Jordan played with you are absolutely nuts, My Guy. NUTS.

We really gonna act like a washed up Wade who had little to no impact from the bench is better than anything Jordan had?

Kyrie, ok. But let’s just not act like he can really make an impact when the ball is not in his hands. He’s a shooter and honestly an elite iso scorer. Bosh? Better than Rodman? 

NO.

I said any player besides Pippen and he is.

washed up Wade? wade was a top 3 player in the league when Lebron won those 2 titles in Miami.

Bosh was a better all around player than Rodman.

If it wasn’t for JR Smith being a horrible waste of time Lebron beats the Warriors tonight in their building

 

Nyjunc you can continue with the Be Like Mike nostalgia but Lebron is the GOAT

Sure, it was all JR Smith's fault.  Not Lebron w/ the ball in his hands and Steph Curry on him passing the ball, not Lebron for his "leadership" after the smith goofup(did you see the video of the Cavs bench heading to OT? real inspirational stuff from Lebron) and not w/ Lebron not showing up for OT.  it was all JRs fault.

Whose fault was it in game 2?  it's funny how it's never Lebron's fault. he just gets all the credit when his team wins.

Another day another post talking about MJ being the greatest even though Lebron is the more well rounded player who was on inferior teams

 

yeah im sure if Lebron had led JR Smith well enough he’d remember to check the scoreboard

I feel bad for him too, w/ the ball in his hands and a chance to win w/ Steph Curry guarding him he passed the ball.  Then he did absolutely nothing in OT.  Poor bron bron

The whiny LeBron on the bench is every reason I hate him all balled up into one. 

he's whiny on the bench, whiny on the court, he's whiny off the court.  That's who he is.

Lebron is a better passer b/c he is afraid to take shots like Jordan. if Jordan wanted to be he would have been a better passer and Lebron has played w/ more talent. Jordan was just better.

If Lebron wasn't scared to take the last shot and didn't pass the ball before the Smith play then the Smith play never happens.

I’d respond to this but given your history I’m sure it’d result in you arguing that Chuck Person was actually better than Lebron James.
