Philly bouls, Trust the Process
I thought Bron elevated those around him? :sas2:

All the sudden guys who could play like Love, Hill, Hood, Clarkson, Nance, etc can't hoop? :jbhmm:

LeGM did this to himself :francis: wanted to pay his boys and trade cats, no room to complain :yeshrug:

Not like he's playing much defense either :ufdup:

When he comes to Philly tho :ahh: :ttpblessed:

Kobe at 33 lost 4-1 to the Thunder. Duncan at 33 was averaging 31 minutes and averaging 18 points. MJ obviously was still ballin but he took a year and a half off.

What the hell is wrong wit you dudes :skip:

And once again...reading comprehension fails.


I said Bron should have left it all out there. Since you bring up Kobe...yes at 33 he lost to OKC....in the 2nd round.

In the first round that year vs Denver....when the team was flat but the Lakers were up with a chance to close out in game 5 Kobe put up 43pts 6reb 5ast 2 steals. They didn't win that game but he damn sure tried to make them get over the top.

Let's refresh your memory



Do you get it yet? Bron coasted and didn't go LeVillain to try and close out. Get out your feelings and realize I'm simply saying he could have done more but didn't and it was obvious bc even his 22pts were mostly empty.

The biggest problem is the Cavs have no real system to rely on. We usually only run plays to get open shots for Korver.

Everything else is just watching LeBron dribble, get open in the corner, or occasionally cut to the hoop. No constant motion and not many designed plays from what I can tell.

For a few possessions in game 5 the cavs were whipping the ball to the open man, cutting, setting screens, all that good shyt. They got easy buckets, and then it just stopped for no reason. We needed a buzzer beater to win.

It’s easy to blame Lue, and he deserves plenty of blame because he clearly hasn’t implemented a system, but I feel like LeBron prefers it this way sometimes.

I think we will win game 7 but holy shyt it’s looking rough after that. You never know what can happen though.

We’ll always have 2016 :manny:

:dwillhuh:

A REAL Cavs fan acknowledging the existence of bron ball?

It was on full display last night

The bron groupies had like a ten page thread denying this painfully obvious shyt on some republicans denying global warming type shyt like just four days ago :mjlol:

Kobe averaged 29 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 45% shooting

LeBron is averaging 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists on 54% shooting.

Kobe scored 22 points in game 4, also only had 17 points in game 7.

Yep the Lakers almost blew a 3-1 lead to a team led by Ty Lawson and Aron Afflalo

Where is this nonsense that his supporting cast could ball. Clarkson and Nance were reserves on a bad LA team. Hood was averaging 16 points in Utah. George Hill is old and hurt. Love is injured. :skip:

Don't quote me until you ready to catch this fade fakkit. :skip:
The fact that you're huffing and puffing in front of everyone, instead of keeping that shyt in the PMs, leads me to believe you're nothing but a frail ass cracker - but I already knew that.

Now back on topic. LeBron himself said that his supporting cast could 'ball', so how exactly is it nonsense?

At that point, Kobe wasn't physically able to do what he was able to do, even in his last Finals appearance. He had already gone over to Germany for that knee procedure, and he was living almost purely off of skill at that point.

Besides, he was 5 out of 7 in the NBA Finals by that point. His legacy was pretty much cemented by then.

Lebron may not be jumping like he did years ago, but his athleticism has declined A HELL of a lot more slowly than Kobe's AND he hasn't had the injuries Kobe had.

What is his excuse?

Either Lebron can elevate lesser players or he can't. K. Love is an All-Star. Why can't you elevate Kevin?

..and comparing FG percentages between Kobe and Lebron is stupid. Lebron and Kobe play nothing alike. Lebron is rim attacker. Kobe played out on the perimeter. Name a major scoring option jump shooter who shot a higher than a major scoring option who primarily drove to the rim?

I'm pretty sure this is a typical day at practice in Cleveland when discussing plays.

Fast forward to 3:10 into the video.
