I’ve always said this. Lebron has never had that kind of shooter on his team

It's a shame LBJ never played with prime Ray Allen/Korver/Reddick type guy who is just a energizer bunny running all over the court off picks and was just a sharpshooter from 3. Maybe LBJ gets the chance in PHI next year "if" Reddick takes a discount, that's the closet LBJ will get to play with another Top 10-20 ALL-TIME NBA type shooter unless he teams up with Steph/Klay at some point in the next 5 years...

James gave Korver a bounce pass earlier was negotiating the screen a good distance away. James just bounced to to where he was going to be after getting around the screen and curling to the ball. Sweet how those two can work together.
Only 7 Players in NBA history have 21,000 points, 5,750 assists and 5,750 rebounds. LeBron has double those numbers.

Yeah this is disappointing when you want to see a competitive game, you want to see them push each other. Its like playing a pickup game where no one is really running the floor......

Especially with how bad they have been on the road.

I hate how Cedi's become the Cavs human victory cigar. He deserves more than garbage time minutes.

Coaches are trying to get things working for next game. It's like focused practice.
In '03-'04, Jerry Sloan coached the ESPN predicted "worst team of all time" to 42-40.

What is with Lebrons teammates? They just decide to play all of a sudden

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Series will be 2-2, I don't think Boston will get a game on the road. I said before the series that Boston would have to win all home games, they aren't good enough to beat a team on the road in the playoffs without it's star players around. They only got one in Philly because Philly was inexperienced and had no verterans nor playoff experience on the team. They would have to win the series similar way as they did vs Milwaukee.

Cavs will win this series in 6. LeBron will have legendary performance in Game 5 in Boston and Boston fans know that.

They’re either really old or really inexperienced. Only love and korver are dependable.

Lebron is not the only great player to never play with a great shooter the caliber of a Ray Allen..at least he got Ray Allen for two years and now Korver.....
I'm so tired of the typical......
