Act like JR ain’t dive in Boguts knees knocking out rim protection in game 5 for the rest of the series.. you dudes are shameful

Bogut wasn’t a factor in games 1 through 4? You forget at that point Dubs was up 3-1?

Bogut averaged 12 minutes a game before that injury, and the Warriors' +/- was the worst when he was on the court.

Warriors had Steph, Klay, Draymond, and Iggy, and you think the guy JR would purposely go after to injure would be Andrew freaking Bogut. :dead:

Didn't the Warriors just toss him to the curb when the season ended anyway? :heh:

I think Bron settles for excuses and is perfectly fine losing as long as it's not his fault. JR destroyed the team's chances in G1 but Bron checked out mentally immediately after that. I don't think the Cavs were gonna win in OT no matter what, but having Bron on the bench pouting is NOT ideal. That's not how leaders operate. That's not how professionals operate. I can't imagine a GOAT in any other sport reacting to pressure like that.
I don't think that Lebron settles for excuses but he does pout and cry too much on the court. Whether he's crying about a call or rolling his eyes at teammates, there's certainly room to criticize the way he handles things not going his way out there. Of course that's all easy for us to say because we're not the one's out there busting our ass dealing with the mental physical challenge that Lebron is up against. All that self righteous "that's not what leaders do" shyt you're talking is corny and over the top.

Even with the critique of the team...this is the team he constructed. He wanted TT to get that deal. He wanted JR to get paid. He created an atmosphere where Kyrie felt he'd rather bounce than deal with Bron's behavior, or deal with being left on a depleted team after Bron bounced. That meddling in the FO plus the uncertainty he created about his future led to THIS team.
I really don't get this "hear are te guys he wanted" talking point? What does it matter? Regardless, of why they're on the team they are playing no like shyt. Obviously if Lebron and everyone else involved in the personnel decisions know that they were going to play like shyt then maybe hey wouldn't have wanted them. Cats act like because Lebron may have wanted these guys on the team that it's his fault that there playing like shyt. That makes no sense.

I mean he def shytted on his starting 5 a lil bit, but even more so than that, hes just talking about high IQ ball. Cleveland has fielded alot of low IQ incidents since Bron came back (not saying he hasnt committed his own). All I think he's trying to say here is that you gotta look past just numbers or ability when determining a player or team's championship ability

Boston is his best move from a basketball perspective. They have the youth to D the Warriors up, enough scoring to make them pay and give him some rest, and the intellect to not consistently fukk up crucial situations. They have the assets/financials needed to bring him in without gutting their team. They're in the East. He would get a strong 5+ years of play there and be in the Finals each year. He certainly wouldn't get roasted for going there like KD since he's kicked the shyt out of the Celtics for the last 8 years.

But I don't think he'll do it.

But he should.
Im not a fan of him playing with fans that've been calling him disgusting shyt for a decade, but I think these Kyrie to Knicks rumors reeks of Ainge fabrication. I know Kyrie wanted to go to NYK during the trade season, but you'd have to be literally retarded to leave Boston, where you're the clear #1 (until Tatum takes that) and have the advantage of the franchise building around you. NYK has Porzingis and a shyt hole of a franchise. Hed basically be choosing the great value toaster pastry version of his Cleveland situation.

which I why I believe Ainge is just having this thrown out to show Bron they interested

How many times you idiots gonna mention the tt and jr signing like the cavs had a choice ?

They were already over the cap. They couldn't do anything else. And coming off a champion title were both played their asses off, it was earned.

Albeit, they fell off a bit now.

But get your facts straight

The facts is that TT got that type of money only because Bron made the Cavs do it. Whether you like it or not....

Stop lying

Heat went 58-24, 46-20 (lockout shortened season), 66-16, & 54-28.
Bosh played no less than 74 games each season (except the lockout season)
And Wade averaged 25, 22, 22, 19. plus made the all-star team every season during the big 3 era.

Stick to gossip threads & trolling homie.

It’s crazy Bron came back to Cleveland wanting to build a team to compete with the Spurs but the Warriors just came from out of nowhere and messed everything up

Son I can’t even be mad at him for that

You can definitely argue he played a role in making sure certain teammates were here (JR/Tristan) he tried to get Ky to stay last minute

But we can all see they are what they are (trash)

And he doesn’t have that MJ/Tim Duncan/Kobe trait that elevates the players game around him

He’s way too ball dominate

I would love to see him link with Pop and by into a system that requires more ball movement

Pop could arguably get another 2-3 ships out of him if he’s willing to accept the challenge
This is bullshyt. Duncan lost series. MJ did win till everyone with a great team retired or got old. Why cant ya'll just admit, this team reached its peak.

Follow what Bron saying... Talent alone ain’t getting you to the promise land

GS got the talent but also have high IQ players from top to bottom

Curry night IQ
Klay high IQ
Durant high IQ
Dray high IQ
Iggy high IQ
Livingston High IQ
West High IQ
Cook High IQ
Bell medium IQ
Swaggy medium IQ
McGee (upgraded from low IQ to Average) :mjlol:
ZaZa medium IQ

So don’t be surprised GS go after more high IQ players/Vets in the offseason
:russ: at Swaggy being medium IQ. Dude still doesn’t even know the plays.

Nope, not feeling sorry for this cat. He wasn't talking like this when sh*t was sweet in Miami and they were bulldozing the league. He tried to recreate a super team in Cleveland with him, Kyrie & Love, and he wasn't expecting two things. 1) for the Warriors to one up them has far as acquiring talent & 2) Kyrie wanting to be on his own. Not to mention, he put this cast of characters together, because he was impatient, and didn't think he could win with IT, Rose & Wade.
Except he didn't...
