Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
If you take away Brons 41 from the other night, 16 boards and 8 assist are we even having this discussion:sas2:
shyt I gave the man his credit after Monday night. he totally deserves it, that nikka was on fire from the get go but to act like dude hasn't been shamelessly statpadding during losses and blowouts is wack.

:camby:If you take Bron off of the floor/off of the Cavs, what happens :francis:
In game 2 he sat for 3 minutes and a 3 point game turned into a 14 point game.
If you take away Kyrie's 3 game 30+ point stretch and the 41 from the other night what happens? :smugfish:

Irving stalled out the offense with his chucking in the 4th in game 4 and James sat the 4th quarter since it was a blowout

Kyrie has been the best Cavs player, he's the most impactful and takes games over

Offensively. Unfortunately there's this thing called defense....

yeah they wack ass shyt, but it don't change the fact that LEPASSIVE has been shyt in 60% of the finals games this year. games 1,2 and 4. He has to play well for his team to win. Curry does not.

Which is more of a reason why he should be MVP if he continues to play well and by a miracle the steal the chip. In the games he's played extremely well, they've won regardless of Kyrie's performance

Game 5 LeBron played nice D on the interior but throughout the series he hasn't been this game-changing force on D. Outside of game 5 his defense was a non-factor, he had mostly been conserving his energy for the offensive end and guys like Shump, Delly and Tristan were exhausting their energy on that end.

Kyrie's offense has been more of a factor in the win/loss column than LeBron's offense and defense put together. If Kyrie doesn't explode in game 3 or 5 then the Cavs lose the game, reason being because he doesn't have to hold the ball and stagnate the offense in order to get his buckets. He can score quickly.

Like I said in another thread, LeBron has been wildly inconsistent on the defensive end in this series. Tristan has been the most dominant and consistent defensive piece for the Cavs.
How? He has the most blocks and steals don't he.

As far as hum dropping assignments that's just Bron being Bron

LeBron's defense on Draymond in Game 3 is one of the main reasons that game looked the way it did.

No, Kyrie's hot start, Tristan's work on the offensive glass, Klay and Steph's combined terrible performance, and J.R. Smith did (he was +33 in that game for a reason). LeBron gets credit for being a ballhawk, and he did do a nice job on Dray, but by far the most important reasons were Kyrie and Tristan. LeBron helps keep the game afloat, but he did not win those 2 games for the Cavs and especially not on the defensive end.

I'm gonna leave it at that.
