Lebron rules the Cavaliers

Post #1 » by **supersub15** » Tue Jan 8, 2008 2:32 pm

"Early in the 2nd, the Cavs had two ugly turnovers that both led to Raptor layups. The Cavs called timeout, and James was the first one to the bench. He proceeded to yell at an assistant coach all while pointing in the general direction of Daniel Gibson. It was an overt show of disrespect (IMHO).

"Then, early in the 3rd, Sasha Pavlovic missed 3 shots and picked up 2 fouls in less than a minute of action. Lebron looked over at him, said, "you alright?" Pavlovic shrugged him off, then James looked over at Mike Brown, pointed at Pavlovic and within nanoseconds, Pavlovic was being subbed off the floor."

His buddies are employed by the Cavs, his entourage apparently goes with him to the arena, and now this.

How long before this sours?

They need a more experienced and well respected coach. I remember watching some of the team's huddles during timeouts during several games in the past and noticed that Brown is just a motivator more so than Mitchell.

When you've got a guy who can single-handedly win a game like he did on Sunday, and is probably the best player in the world, you hand him the keys, especially if you are a small-market team.

If it goes sour, it does so on his watch.

I nominate Lebron as Alpha Dog of the Week

LeBron is so freaking amazing. I'd trade anybody and any combination on the Raps for him.

It's a safe bet that LeBron wouldn't try to boss around Pat Riley, Phil Jackson or Gregg Popovich. Mike Brown doesn't carry any weight in this league, finals appearance notwithstanding.

Cavs fans are kidding themselves if they think LeBron will be in Cleveland for his next contract. It wouldn't shock me if he ended up in Miami playing with D-Wade so he could finally have somebody close to his level to support him.

Exactly why Lebron is the best player in the league. He ain't afraid to tell it like it is. Personally, I'd like to see Bosh do a little more of this. He did it for a bit earlier in the year last season but seems to have gotten away from it.

The Cavs should sign Lebron to a coaching job to, hell, he can be GM too trade larry hughes for bibby.

I also heard that Lebron forces his team mates to do this

Dont F with Lebron.

That's competitiveness for you. LeBron is a beast on the hardwood.

Conspiracy theory: The cavs will continue to employ scrubs so that lebron looks even better!

ya, but CB4 needs to be able to play at LBJ level before yelling at his team mates...
See, LBJ can also walk the talk, CB4 can not make the game plays with consistency like LeBron.
Leadership means that you also lead by example and CB4 has to consistently keep the intensity on, during crunch time.

Here's a genius thought for those comparing LBJ's "better" play over CB...

LBJ is simply more talented than Bosh is.

Bosh is a model character guy for any franchise. Any limitations he has are skill and talentwise.

Duncan doesn't rule with an iron fist and he has 4 rings. How many does Lebron have?

Tim Duncan has been around the block, LeBron James hasn't.

come on, you know that's an irrelevant comparison given their careers so far.

but anyways, if I was any of the other Cleveland players and Lebron told me to get off the court.....I'd get my a** to the bench and then ask him if he wants me to get him some gatorade

"Sasha, get in the game." (looks at Lebron) "Uhh...did I say Sasha?...Z, get in the game." (looks at Lebron) "Mmm...no forget that. Whats that? A peace sign? Ooo a 'V'! Varejao, in the game!"

Now that's good coaching.
