Game 2 nba finals tough call

[Pound4Pound#1]

but Iggy is still out. I like the Cavs coming in after an ot loss. Durant wants zero part of Lebrun. Klay is hobbled. The Cavs feel like they were robbed and will leave no doubt this time. Cavs win

How in the hell are love and Tristan even playing. Ok let love slide maybe...but Tristan? He opened hand punched green in the face. I have never seen anyone in the nba get away with that. Automatic suspension for at least one game minimum. I guess the nba wants all players on the court for this one

it's a great call by the Commish...

now have the refs call both entire teams to mid court before tip off and and make it perfectly clear in front of every tv viewer,every radio listener and every person there..

"Play the game and cut the crap.If you bait taunt swing get nasty we send your ass packing."

Game 1 was a reality check for Golden State...They can't sleep walk thru this series ....

First Quarter should see a super focused home team with home crowd fired up.

Cavs have every reason to be angry and ready as well ...

But we are once again back to overall talent...........

and Golden State simply has far more

Lebrons overall record in Game 2s:

4-4

It will take another tremendous effort :0008

why is it LeGone* records that matter in the situations and not team

believe me when I say this.........

LeGone James cannot and has never won any basketball game all by himself.

It is impossible.......despite what many may think.....

It simply can not be done.....

Even when Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game against the Knicks...

Guy Rodgers had 20 ASSISTS and his Warrior teammates added 69 points so they won 169-147



* because it is so Crystal Light Handshake Clear he is ready to "Exit Stage Left "


oke........................................:0056

i never said he has or that he could that I can remember. He needs help and it?s there if his supporting cast performs.

He might leave. Only time will tell. If he does I?d bet he stays on the east coast though.

No worries yet. The series doesn?t start until you win on an opponents home floor

Kyrie didn't want to play with him. They brought in Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder. They didn't want to play with him or he didn't like them. At some point, it's starts to look a lot like Russel Westbrook. Can't win with Harden, can't win with Durant, can't win with George or Anthony. There's a disconnect there. The other night when Lebron was talking about game one to the media, he said "my players" and then changed it later to , "my teammates." He's the King and few want to be his jesters.

I don?t know why they wouldn?t want to play with him. Maybe his attitude or sportsmanship is questionable at times but overall he has one of the solid reputations for a marquee superstar.

After game one of the Eastern conference finals he and Kevin love sat on stage while the media asked questions. They only wanted to talk to LeBron until he made them as Kevin a question. The very next post game media interview all the questions were directed towards Kevin And only a few towards Levron. Even Kevin said out loud ?wow you guys have a lot of questions tonight? couldn?t help but think Lebron had something to do with it.

I don't know. I remember after Kyrie got traded, they interviewed Lebron about it and he kept calling him, the Kid, over and over. I'm not sure that sat well him. Hence why Kyrie wanted out and to have his own team. From what I remember, nobody liked playing with Kobe either.

There are some who seem to like playing with Lebron, or maybe respect him and his work effort. But scoring 51 points while everyone else stands around and watches, is not always a good thing. Just ask Westbrook. Basketball is ultimately a team sport and the Warriors definitely embody that ideology with record amount of assists during a season.

to LeBron's defense he tries to get his teammates involved from the onset of the games.The big problem is he ain't got nobody who can shoot fer shyt other than Love .

He drives to the hole kicks it out when he may be able to make a tuff layup just to get others into the game and they throw up BRICKS....

After watching what he has to put up with again last night..I can appreciate the frustration .He can't get out of there fast enough.Granted IMHO he is a victim of his own demise and Cav fans will suffer the longest...But .....hey ya got a Championship..

Now he will cherry pick ANOTHER location and we will add a challenger to the Golden State Trio Shooting Tourney

I agree OS, but he had Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas and literally pushed them out the door. I distinctly remember him hitting a game winning shot and Isaiah tried to congratulate him on the court and he ignored him. Isaiah was gone the next day or two from what I remember. You can't tell me those two guys wouldn't have helped more than Rodney Hood and Clarckson. The word was, Lebron wanted them gone.

As the old adage goes, be careful what you wish for....

Isaiah Thomas
August 30, 2017[FONT=&quot]: Traded by the [/FONT]Boston Celtics[FONT=&quot] with [/FONT]Jae Crowder[FONT=&quot], [/FONT]Ante Zizic[FONT=&quot], a 2018 1st round draft pick and a 2020 2nd round draft pick to the [/FONT]Cleveland Cavaliers[FONT=&quot] for [/FONT]Kyrie Irving[FONT=&quot]. (2018 1st Rd pick traded to CLE is BRK's pick) (2020 2nd-rd pick from BOS to CLE is MIA's pick, and was added as compensation for Isaiah Thomas's injury)

[/FONT]Isaiah Thomas[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]February 8, 2018[FONT=&quot]: Traded by the [/FONT]Cleveland Cavaliers[FONT=&quot] with [/FONT]Channing Frye[FONT=&quot] and a 2018 1st round draft pick to the [/FONT]Los Angeles Lakers[FONT=&quot] for [/FONT]Jordan Clarkson[FONT=&quot] and [/FONT]Larry Nance Jr.[FONT=&quot]. (2018 first-round pick from CLE to LAL is top-three protected.)

[/FONT] Nance scored 2 points last night...Clarkson chipped in 2 as well.

It will all be water under the bridge soon...LeBron will go to a team with one missing link or maybe 2.........Doesn't he own 2 mansions in LA and a movie studio?
