I'll say it then breh. when is the last time LeBron had a performance that made you say wow?

Westbrook had them for 2 months straight.

I love how Lebron is averaging a 26-11-9-2-2 on bad shooting with everyone on his team injured, just hit a game-winning shot, and you're comparing him negatively to Westbrook.

If Westbrook had done the EXACT same thing, you would be calling him the GOAT point gawd. Oh, wait, that's exactly what happened.

But I guess putting up gaudy numbers on tons of shots against crappy teams on your way to missing the playoffs is more impressive than doing it against the Bulls in the 2nd round.

Lebron aint a diva...... NBA is a superstar's league and always has been since they stop having quotas after integration....

He made a boss move, and it worked..... I don't think the team doesn't respect Blatt..... I just think Lebron has the final word....
That's not an extraction though - Bron is a diva. I'm not saying that I condemn him for being one, I'm just telling it like it is. If Bron has the final say, how do you expect the team to follow Blatt, when he's trying to build trust and a strong foundation in his first season? Will this constant undermining and overruling carry on until the team falls on its sword and Blatt is the scapegoat?

Yup....... You need a certain type of personality for superstars.... Its no coincidence that the same types of personalities have won most of the championships in the last 15 years.....

Phil, Riley, Pop, Larry Brown..... and I'll throw Doc in their for GP.....

Foh. If announcers and sports writers are still gonna call him best in the world I expect him to play like it.

He is basically a brolic Iverson with better rebounding in this series.

I want Bron to succeed don't get me wrong. If he doesn't end with at least 4 or 5 rings I'll be disappointed

That's partly why he's a diva. He wants everything done HIS way. Again, like I said above I'm not condemning him for being one. He is who is, just like we all are. That's why this team doesn't REALLY respect Blatt, because at the end of the day his word doesn't mean a cotdamn thing.

Juan Roberto's bald spot
despite his defects, you gotta feel for Blatt, the media is clearly gunning for him and when he gets fired they'll put it all on Lebron. That Rose buzzer beater also wasnt the play called, which he clearly states in the post match interview and no articles were written about that. On the other hand Blatt asks for this by being over defensive on this issues creating the chum in the water.
