Are we still running with the narrative that LeBron has no help or nah?

[MalikX]

Well genius, if you think Kyrie's 35 alone is gonna offset, 31, 30, and 26, then you might have issues. but to further expound why someone would say he doesn't have help, because one or two players is obviously not going to be sufficient help against a team of this caliber, any moron should be able to understand that, the next two scorers, J.R and Love combined to score 27 points, which isn't exactly great nor bad, but they did it on 6-19 shooting. To also add, Tristan went 0-1. That means the next best 3 players, at least 1 of which are likely to be on the court at some point, were not giving you a fair share of points. That's 9 per person. That is what Cleveland needs out of BENCH players to beat Golden State sir. Speaking of bench players, Golden State's bench, their top 3 scorers went as follow, 7, 7, 6, on 8/15 shooting.

These are the people rotating off the bench, scoring damn near as much as Cleveland's other main contributors more efficiently. At some point, I have to believe you're intentionally ignoring that no one is saying he has no help whatsoever, but from game to game, he's getting contributions from at max maybe 2 people, with rotations of up to 9 or 10. Do you think that it is copping pleas or trying to force excuses to point that out?

Kyrie had 38, not 35.

And yall lost by 5 points. The game was yours to win. If LeBron drives instead of passes, he either gets the layup or draws the foul.

Stop making excuses for this nikka.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

youre such an idiot. the third leading scorer on GS scored 26 damn points. that is pretty much the difference between these teams.

You still don't get it.

This is the hypocrisy I can't stand with y'all LeBron stans. When he wins it's all about him, when he loses it's all about how he doesn't have the proper help. Y'all prop him up as the best player in the league by a wide margin. Now why is it, you don't say any other star player in the league doesn't have the proper help when they don't win, and yet the 'best player in the league' is given excuses for not winning, time and time again?

Give it the fukk up.

The amount of misnomers in this thread is insane.

Four of LeBron's teammates dropped 71, one dropped 38, one dropped 9 in 37 minutes on god awful shooting numbers, and the other dropped 8 in 24 and basically composed the scoring for the entire bench. INCREDIBLE help

nikka shut up....Love grabbed 13 rebounds and harassed the Warriors D all game long. If he wasn't out there yall would've got blown out by 30.

This is why nobody likes Bron Stans.

It was all good when yall was about to win. Now yall lost yall back to calling your whole team trash.

Stop talking about basketball breh. It ain't for you.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Lebron when he wins - He makes his teammates better

Lebron when he loses- he had no help.

Which is it you dumb muhfukkas

This is the main reason why I can't stand Bron. People are CONSTANTLY making excuses for dude.

 

[010101]

its not a game of 1 on 1 you dumb fukk. what cant you comprehend about that ? having the best player doesnt automatically mean the TEAM should win.

lebron doesnt have enough help IN THIS SERIES because its the most stacked team in the history of the league.

no one said other stars dont have enough help. in fact people say all the time guys like westbrook, davis, and PG simply do not have enough help. kawhi even falls into this category to some extent. i have no idea wtf youre talking about. you live in your own world and create your own narratives

You still don't get it. And probably never will.

 

[Cynic]

Without any Tristan Thompson contributions this team will get swept .....

 

[Loose]

Who says LeBron has no help? The problem is he is playing against an all time great team.

people don't understand this logic

So if he scores what would've at least been 40 points, that excuses the talent deficiency? It sounds like your problem is with what LeBron did. There is a massive gorge in talent difference between these two teams and what was given tonight didn't change that narrative. If they won or didn't win, I always believed that. I expected role players would be able to give more than absolutely nothing, and they did. I didn't think Kyrie and LeBron would be the only ones past 20. They won this point last year when J.R hit that barrier, I didn't set that as some arbitrary line for whoever the third scorer was gonna be, but I deemed someone was gonna have to be in the general realm of the other duo as a scoring threat. I would say not having that clearly cost them when they went 0-8 down the stretch. 0-8 doesn't just fall on one person, and if they go 1-8 with LeBron winning the game, that doesn't make that a non-issue anymore. I guarantee you wouldn't win 3 more games going 1-8 down the stretch.

Did you not read all the posts in the game thread before the first half? nikkas was talking about the Cavs needing to trade Kyrie.

 

[Ben.]

Kyrie was playing like shyt in games 1 and 2, he showed up big time in this game no doubt and so did JR.

THIS game Bron should def get some shyt for not stepping up on Durant more when he came down for the 3 that gave them the lead and getting stripped by Iggy for the GT shot

 

[Rigby.]

people don't understand this logic

These idiots are throwing a facade up, no one could seriously think that the amount of contributions this team needs right now is some quantifiable amount that's the same to the Finals two years ago, or the Finals 10 years ago, that's just stupid. When you're playing a roster that is probably the best of all time, you're gonna need more than 12-42 or whatever. It can't just be 3 or 4 people giving you some respectable ball. It has to be a unit that beats them, that's exactly the same shyt Kerr has been saying to his own team. Spurs didn't get up the way they did cause of just one or two people getting buckets, they had guys who were in their clamping, guys rebounding, every role player was hitting his niche perfectly.

 

[TenChambers]

LeBron gets way too many excuses from stans when he loses way too many.......but it's not really wrong on this team.
It's all his fault though he wanted to play GM.That's what he gets & that's what the Cavs get for still being an inept franchise & letting him be the GM.

Kyrie is a "name" but he is a 1-way player. If he's not doing what he did tonight he brings no value. One of the only reasons they won last year was because Kyrie basically turned into Curry for the last 3 games. Shumpert gives the illusion he's playing D but he's trash & he has serious BBIQ issues. JR brings no value unless he's hot. Tristan Thompson plays average D & rebounds so he brings some value without scoring.

For the most part though it's just a roster full of "names" and the skill doesn't match up with the names.

For fukks sake Richard Jefferson was playing in the Finals 15 fukking years ago & they got this nikka chasing Curry, Klay & Durant around screens.

Miami got it right for the most part with the roster. Riley was right when he told him to shut the fukk up & go play.
