It's funny to hear any sports debate involving LeBron because the pro-LeBron side typically acts as if he's a God and is incapable of doing anything wrong. As if you criticizing him is beyond their comprehension.

Because the vast majority of LeBron criticisms are incredibly dumb and don't hold up once investigated.

Lebron is unwilling to work for his rings? Cmon man. No player has ever consistently done more for his teams in the postseason. .

Boston came out better than I thought they would.

Lebron looks spent already.

Didn't say he can't work for his rings. He has done a tremendous job with very little help this year. Also that first big run he had was a pretty bad team for championship standards. But just like that summer he will leave again this summer. I'm old fashioned and like to see guys stick with franchises, especially when they're close to winning it all. But guys these days just want the easy way out which means teaming up.

No doubt he's exhausted but I still fully expect him to take over at some point.

Carrying Nance, Thompson, Korver, Hill, Smith, and the rest of the Cavs gets tiresome.  I doubt LeBron is done though.  He'll have a spurt of energy in the second half and make plenty of FTs.

Ill give KD a bit of a pass OKC was a front office dumb enough to get fleeced by the pacers front office in a trade. Very little chance they would be able to build another contender. 

Lebron mismanaged the Cavs his first go round

I expect him to stay in Cleveland, and I really hope that he does.

I just hope the Cavs don't make it to the Finals this year. They're not beating Golden State. No matter how LeBron plays the end result for most people would just be "oh he's 3-6 in the finals now, lolz". So, I hope he goes to game 7 in all three rounds in the east before losing in the ECF, so that way he can still pad his stats.

It's shaping up just how I hoped.

I mean the Thunder were a blown 3-1 lead from being in the Finals for a 2nd straight year, he was in a solid position

Maybe for a season but they were gonna start losing pieces. GS gave him a chance to be part of a contender for years.

Haha can't blame you for that man. The only team in the West I could see him going to is Houston, and I don't think that would work. 

Lakers fans think they're going to get all the big name free agents this summer, but they've been saying that for the last few summers lol.

I think the Lakers end up with PG and maybe Boogie. I don't anticipate that being anything other than a giant disaster.

If I was a GM I'd be very hesitant to sign Boogie to anything more than a 1 year deal. Someone's gonna end up giving him the max though. It wouldn't surprise me if it was LA.

Here is the run.

[mdn82 26,344]

Sloppier game for sure but should be a good finish.

[mdn82 26,344]

Cavs out of the East.  Can they win a game in the finals?

[Crimson and Cream 5,996]

Lol Boston choked so hard and LeBron is unbelievable. They better hope Houston pulls it out tomorrow though.
