How do you elevate people who continuously miss open shots ?

I can't answer that.

I always thought 'making your teammates better' was some bullshyt, anyway. Every man got to carry their own weight. Lebron, far too often, tries to carry too much weight. Just like in life, if you present yourself as someone willing to carry the load, most people around you will let you. Overtime, it erodes people's confidence, and when you need them, they lack the confidence to do it, because they put their confidence in you.

Let those motherfukkers do their job.

Jordan and Kobe won rings without being triple-double threats. They did what they were asked to do, and let their teammates do what they were paid to do.

Lebron's style does allow him to carry bums, but that shyt eventually wears you down.

How about running some sets that play to the players' strengths. so they're not restricted to shooting spot up jumpers for most of the game. That would work, but we all know Bron Bron's not going for that.

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:

Dudes told me "watch the game tomorrow and see how many backdoor cuts LeBron gets" :laff:

He should've embraced Kyrie and they would probably win the title this year (if Ky stayed healthy)

Making your teammates better is nothing more than getting them easy opportunities in areas on the floor where they're most effective; nothing more. Guys like Magic, Kidd, Pippen turned players like Byron Scott, Kenyon Martin, Horace Grant & BJ Armstrong into all-stars/all-star caliber players doing just that.

Bron Bron's stans swear he's the GOAT and the best at making his teammates better, "he can carry any little ol' team to the Finals," blah, blah, blah. So expecting him to make a 26 &12 player like K. Love better, or to not force a 31% three-point shooter like Jeff Green to primarily take corner threes shouldn't be too much to ask.

The Cavs should be able to beat all of those teams in a series.
Their second best player this series is a 37 year old who’s never been much of a defender, playmaker, or ball handler that’s averaging basically 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. Aside from LeBron the rest of the team is averaging about 60 points, 28 rebounds, and 8 assists on 40% shooting from the field and 31% from distance. Who exactly do you expect them to beat when the rest of the team is playing that badly?
