I called the Warriors in 5 because I don't believe in the brand of basketball that the Cavs play. It's way too ISO dependent. Kyrie and Lebron just take turns 1 v 1 with the occasional kick out to a shooter or slashing Mosgov.

Warriors in 5.

This was the worst i've seen Lebron in terms of iso-ball and ball stopping. They have no chance in this series if he is going to stagnate the offense like that.

That's why Brooks had to go in OKC. Can't win a chip with two guys taking turns going 1 on 5.

TBF, Lebron has never hogged the ball like this, I don't think he trust his teammates.

They run offense in the 1st quarter but as the game goes on lebron doesn't ISO the fukk out of the ball
Im not sure if noticed. There was a lot of times when he passed the ball and the other guys just didnt seem to know what to do with it. When he was out, the same thing happened with Kyrie playing iso

It's funny how narratives are. If Kobe was out there ISOing all games with the same amount of points and the same efficiency as Lebron, he would be getting killed and you all know that. All I know is one thing, Lebron is not beating the warriors with his iso game.

Warriors plan worked to perfection. Although Lebron shot unusually well from the outside

Same reason any other dominant offensive player does. Kobe shouldn't catch heat for that either, these guys often are the offense itself

I appreciate watching greatness but the Cavs offense when go iso mode is unbearable to watch. I think halfway from the 3rd quarter on it was LeBron iso on the block, then you wonder why their shooters couldnt hit the side of a barn. The ball has to move.

How about you get Kobe's dikk out your mouth and stop capping for a nikka whose not even playing.

But but but Kobe this Kobe that nikka shut the fukk up

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
What's funny is that I think Maccabi ball would work great with the Cavs' personnel, but LeBron isn't feeling it. You'd think that he'd learned from last year that a great system or team >>>>>> great individual play. But, he hasn't. He undermined Blatt's shyt from the jump. :yeshrug:

Yall must didn't see what the Warriors did?

They made them go LeBron on the wing cause they would not play up on Bron on the High Pick n Roll. This negates Bron's ability to drive, thus you have no need to double from penetration & you have no open shooters. Same game plan the Spurs used.

So inorder to get double teams they iso'd Bron on the Wing, hoping the Warriors would double & leave open shooters for Bron to create from there. The Warriors refused :yeshrug:


Bron will not shoot that well all series & the Warriors know it.

LeBron has always been a ball hog it's just that nikkas see assists and think that means he's not :francis:. It's just now he's even shooting more.

He gets any shot he wants in the post.
