Watched every minute of the game last night and it's the first time I've really focused on LeBron. I can't believe it's the same guy that Victor thinks is still the greatest.

Just an unbelievable lack of effort on a lot of possessions. He never boxed out. Never even considered chasing down a fast break. He'd just conserve himself and not even bother running down the court. Kawhi beat him to every close ball and rebound.

His rim finishing is still great but a lot of the rest of it has already significantly declined. He needs to get back on the roids.

how he´s gonna find his groove then?
it´s the reg season, cavs are running away with the east and are playing better with the kid in the line up, no matter how often he jacks it up.

let him ball, you can´t chain a guy like kyrie too much.

Kawhi is 24 with 900 fewer games on his leg and **** to prove and he's at best a tiny bit better than slacker Lebron

I figured that would be the rebuttal,and it's fair but I don't know if he's just going to be able to turn it on when it matters when he's been turned off for 2500 minutes

Father time is catching up to LBJ. He played the same amount of mins in 13 seasons as Kobe did in 15 seasons. His drives are getting blocked at a higher % each of the past two seasons then seasons past. He never developed a great shot.

Hes had a good run but hes done winning mvps at this point in his career. Very small title window for him at this point. This season and next is gonna be it unless he goes to the spurs or warrs or something and gets carried by Curry/Kiwi.

Also I made no mention of taking him out, ofc they are better with him because he is great and te alternatives are trashy

Granted last night Kiwi took Lebron out of the game somewhat, but I think Irving has been like that in general

RayRay circa 2005-2006 is super underrated and had some league pass must see games. My top 2 league pass games OF ALL TIME are

1. DRE hangs 51 on Mavs with only a single made 3.

2. Sonics RayRay single-handedly beating the suns in OT, with a steph Curry-esque 32 foot bomb buzzer beater just because he can.

RayRay was also prescient with how Kobe kicking out Shaq would play out and nailed it to a T.

Nah, coffee shop that has breakfast sandwiches and such. Didn't really pay attention to the huge guy right by me until I heard someone call out Dell with his stuff. Then he was gone along with my opportunity to publicly beat the **** out of him.

Think about the team you root for. What would you give up for Giannis?

For me not a lot but Denver is set in that department. I could see other teams giving a mid-late first or a player who's pretty good like a Ryan Anderson.

Also I'm pretty disappointed that Ainge hasn't made any moves to this point. Maybe there are just none out there, but I would have banked on some rumors at least with the assets he has brewing and as disappointing as Boston has been.

It's not a rebuttal, it's an excuse. Lebron makes excuses all the time about his teams failures over the years, so it's a natural reaction from his fanbois.

So if you had to put together an NBA roster that would be .500 or better, but would be the most soul-crushing, irritating team to be a fan of in NBA history, who would you choose. I ask because I was watching the Cavs game, and it occurred to me both Love and JR Smith would be on the team (definitely the latter).

Maybe I would start with

James Harden
Kevin Love
JR Smith
Brook Lopez
Rajon Rondo

And I definitely want Mo Speights and Rivers on the bench

Smoove is a great choice. Are you talking about Lance Stephenson or Lance Thomas. I could see an argument for either one.
