Who?

[Guest]

Cavs looking for a soft place to lay down.

looking good for the not lebrons...hope iggy gets mvp, so that two years in a row, lebron's counterpart gets the mvp

[JETSET]

Let's see if Lebron gives it his all in this final 6 minutes or if he tucks his head in to his turtle shell like he usually does in these situations.

James will have more free throw attempts than all of Golde State.

Your boy has stepped up big time since we gave him hell after game 3.  It's nice to see a player recognize his faults and then adjust his play accordingly.

kudos to you for acknowledging.

Meh, was a baby triple double tho.

Kidding. Kudos to that guy. Played a helluva series

[JETSET]

What's funny is Lebron straight quit on defense for a few plays and then J.R. gets hot and knocks the lead down to 4.  This game could have been down to one possession or tied if Lebron would have gave some effort on those plays a couple of minutes ago.  He was also like 0-6 on jumpshots in the final 8 minutes.

funny that the crowd was chanting mvp while iggy was shooting fts

Who else got mad when they saw LD?

But he's supernatural so when he's tired he's like really tired. You don't even know man.

He wasn't too tired to beat everybody into the locker room tho.

And, yeah, if he hadn't coasted for half the game it mightve been even closer.

Enjoyed this series. Go Hawks!

Iverson's 2001 finals performance >>>>>>>> than what lebron did this year. The media needs to give up on this narrative that lebron had some historically great series. He shot under 40% throughout the series and laid huge eggs at the end of game 1 and 6. Edited June 17, 2015 by JETSET

when you play 45+ minutes and 90% of possessions end on you taking a shot, or passing to a player taking a shot- your stats are going to be inflated.  I hated how even Atlanta sports radio hosts were riding his jock so hard, dude is a great player, but his narrative is worn the f out

The Cleveland drought continues!

I didn't even think about that. That's a pretty significant indictment of LeBron, but also validation for the Spur Model and the importance of having a 3 with size who can do a little of everything. Difference is the rest of the team helped Kawhi and Iggy, while LeBron is expected to help the rest of the team.

Love DeMarre like a play cousin, he's definately in the same mold but he can't handle or pass like Iggy and is 20+ pounds lighter than Kawhi.

I cringe everytime someone brings up Love and Kyrie as if Cleveland's record and advanced numbers weren't better with one or both of them out. They're both ass defensively and Kyrie speeds the pace, it would've been over in 5.

All in all this was a fantastic season. We didn't get the ultimate prize but making history in Januaray coupled with our style brethren and Steph winning it all made for an unforgettable 14-15 campaign for real team ball that stresses pace, space, defense, and depth. Hopefully next year will erase it quickly!

This just isn't true....where are these advanced numbers man?  Defense yes, but that is more a product of Mozgove than Delly.  But on offense it is ridiculous for you to say this.
