Watching Lebron drag this Cavs team to 3 straight finals reminds me how lucky Jordan was

Jordan had the best coach of all time, the best assistant coach of all time (Tex Winter),an innovative (at the time) system and 2 other hall of famers with him. As well as Kukoc, the best Euro of all time.

Meanwhile the King has Kyrie, and guys like Tristan Thompson who is averaging 3 rebounds a game. That's 6 rebounds a game less than Curry.

This picture is fitting. He's the only one doing anything:

Maybe if he would be accepting of a real coach they would do bettah.

the fact that he got Cleveland a title after 57 years or whatever it was is enough IMO. He's playing with house money.

In the shite Eastern Conference.

With Irving, Love, etc.



After previously having Wade and Bosh and Riley.

This has to be satire.

Thompson was worthless last night. Atrocious defense, no rebounds, real joke.

Kyrie was incredible.

In the end, it was too much Durant. Dude was money especially down the stretch. He took it from Cleveland.

So, we're just going to ignore LeBron James' triple-double and his chase-down block on Andre Iguodala in a tie game? OK.

Kevin Love is a 4-time All-Star.


No one is on that team unless LEBRON wants them on that team.

Many of the people on LEBRON'S TEAM are overpaid hot garbage because of LEBRON.



Where was all this crying before the series started ... back when your king was going to take down the Warriors?

Love is overrated as hell.

And I get to say that because I never wanted them to trade for him. They could've rolled with Wiggins that first year and traded for someone that fit this team better the next offseason. I still don't know why it had to be Love and why it had to be done so quickly.

Don't think anyone is saying that LeBron James doesn't have a supporting cast worthy of winning a title. However, much of this series has been on the shoulders of the 'big three.' Everyone else is invisible. Against one of the great teams ever assembled, that won't cut it.

You're acting like the team is a bunch of scrubs. They have 3 all-stars (including one of the greats of all-time), 3 former all-stars coming off the bench, former 6th man, etc.

Especially in the weak East. It's not some great feat that that team is able to make the Finals coming out of the East.

LeBron has it easy until he has to play the West. He also has the advantage that the Western Conference playoffs are usually so grinding that the team that reaches the Finals in the West is exhausted by the time they clinch a spot in the Finals while LeBron could skate right through the awful East without breaking a sweat.

If you truly believe this ... then it really doesn't matter who the Cavs have...and, it would only make sense that the Warriors should win/sweep....just to justify the quoted opinion.


Glad to know that you think Jordan lucked his way to 6 NBA titles and Finals MVPs.

K korver had his shot in the corner, which if it goes in, assures the win. Missed.

If you are cleveland you want korver to take that shot.
I heard legler quibble that korver could have moved more to a 45 degree angle to make it further for curry to get to him.
It was contested, not tipped.

Cleveland's shot selection in the last couple minutes was really bad imo, bordering desperate even though they had the lead.

We talking about the one where Lebron was driving to the hoop with 3 GSW contesting, then he kicked out?

It was the right move to pass to a wide open Korver, unless someone thinks Lebron's has greater than a 60% chance to make a shot over 3 defenders.
