Can't wait for the day that people stop making excuses for this dude. His style of basketball makes teammates codependent. That's why all his teams have the same problems. It's not team basketball, it's stat pad LeBron basketball.


That won't happen until they stop giving awards for selfish basketball play.

Yeah I didn't really understand that move, they could really use another play-maker in the worst way.
I think the locker room just became toxic so they wanted to clean house.

Their depth at the 1-3 position is pretty elite even without Irving and Hayward

Regardless if you like the celtics or not they are playing as a team and it’s beautiful to watch. LeBron can go off but it doesn’t matter, you have to be a complete team to beat the C’s this year.

Yeah. LeBron is undoubtably great, but at the same time, the Cavs offence is so incredibly LeBron-centric that these players have to be one trick ponies.

I'm not even mad at LeBron's points. For some reason he doesn't just obliterate teams in the Post or stops doing it. They have been trying to do the same thing in all three series.. No transition buckets and it's been working.

Part of that is true, but Boston being the better team is equally true. They've admitted the strategy is to shut down everyone other than LeBron and it shows; Hill, Smith, Green, Clarkson, and Hood have been no shows when given minutes. Korver and Love played well for the first half, but got shut down the rest of the game once Boston started fronting Love and going over Korver screens.

Always felt like what the Cavs did to the Raps was fool's gold. Toronto looked like paper mache.


They had an idiot coaching them.

What was JR, Korver, Thompson, Jeff Green etc before LeBron ? Giannis prototypes ? Get real...
