who they gonna throw at him? tatum? brown? perhaps smart is the best they have to defend him but he is too small

at least stevens is not casey, he will just let lebron get his, stay home at their shooters and do a solid job on love - that's basically what pacers did and nearly eliminated the cavs with

Arkon, OG

Don’t you dare say anything less.

He hasn't been the same since she dumped him. No, seriously. This isn't a troll post.

DeRozan got into contact with LeBron over a loose ball and after the whole thing was wondering is he still alive and breathing. That's how scared he is of him.

You don't defend LeBron with one player, it's a team effort. While I agree that the Raps having issues defending him is a bit bizarre, the Celtics don't have defensive rotations issues like the Raps do...on the flip side, they don't have the bodies. Size / athleticism wise, Ojeleye (someone I wanted on the Knicks) looks like he can match up. But, again, it doesn't really matter how good the 1:1 defense is if the team defense is poor.

They play great D. The TO's are killing them.

It's a shame LBJ never got to play with a 3pt sniper like Korver/Allen in their primes. Just imagine the assists and open looks that would've been created.

For as bad as Kyle's D, his shot just so silky...

Okay that’s hilarious. Lebron literally told them to change that call.

Right call, but I didn't even know you COULD change that.
