This is the one time nobody can argue with this.
I know we've said this many times, both seriously and sarcastically - Bron's been on some shyt teams and sometimes he's been on great teams and there was no excuse and he didn't need more help
That said
It's never been more true in his career than now that
LeBron needs more help y'all
After his game winner in Game 5, after losing a double digit lead, I was assuming this would be a tough game and was hoping that the Cavs would not have their paint open for anybody who wanted to walk in (Sabonis did in this game so I was wrong). But still: I thought 'if ALL goes perfectly, they can win this game, they will beat the Raptors who always shrink when LeBron comes to town and then there's the possibility of beating the Sixers).
But after seeing this game, and thinking back to how often this team loses double digit leads and how it always - not sometimes, always - comes down to LeBron (even though Korver has stepped up often).. I for the first time think that the Cavs and LeBron might not go to the Finals.
Don't pop shyt now because many of us thought LeBron would go to the Finals as always and I still think it's possible, but am less sure than before. The issue: his team mates. Kevin Love should be paying to play not be getting paid... Kyrie's obviously gone so there's the big 2 but Kevin Love is not contributing, and the way the players are playing their energy is just not high, aggressive and serious enough. Clarkson has basically disappeared.. I mean I can go on. There are some strong moments but they are very few and far between...
HE NEEDS HELP. A second scoring option. Korver's been the saving grace here and there, but a star player who can score and also lead.
Look at this box score.. in a close out game
Only 2 other players in double digits in scoring.. Hood (12) and Green (13). Love: 7? Come on..
