but still LeBron should not have played that many minutes in the regular season. There really is no excuse for that.
THat's one thing I never understood as the season progressed.

If it's so unimportant that you just basically let Boston have the #1 seed, why not play LeBron 3 or so less minutes per night?

No one averaged more minutes than LeBron, who seemed less fatigued than every player on the court in the final 3 games, despite doing more than every player on the court, so not sure how that opinion works.

Curry and Bogut were both injured... lol

Could you be any more coherent? TIA

IIRC, LeBron went on record saying that he felt worse if he wasn't playing.

I understand enough to know that if KD says he wants extend his contract for less, that he's not "probably going to opt out this summer."

Come on, get schooled again.

Umm, he either opts out, or he opts in. If he opts in, he's taking the player option on the contract. If he opts out, he can re-sign for more/less money and more/less years.

To extend his contract for less money, he has to opt out of the current contract.

The list is growing and they haven't even lost yet. It is going to be the size of a grocery list once they do. It is never lebrons fault...ever.

Whose fault is it that you have a tired 6'9 PF playing PG and you run 102 possessions per game?


Bottomline: Lebron was absent in the fourth quarter in the finals (again)

MJ> Kobe> KD > tLeCrybaby

He defiantly hates Lebron. I have noticed that.

Not true at all. He could opt in and still restructure his contract long term while taking far less than max.

Or the current contract is merely getting amended to include the extended years and the new details...

No he can't. Durant signed a 1+1 with GSW therefore he is ineligible to sign an extension if he opts in.

Lebron sat for 1:45 seconds last night. The Warriors out scored the Cavs 12-0. Stop with the stupid Lebron is not great shite. Even Scottie Pippen today said that the Bulls in the finals against the trailblazers came back with Jordan on the bench. The Cavs have a horrible coach and a scrub bench.

KD has made Lebron his bitch the whole series. And he's playing like a villain with no fricks to give.

Again, I love it when people rank Kobe in the top 5. You all belong at the MSB kiddie table.

SO the OP that basically shows Lebron has destroyed KD for three quarters until he has gotten gassed from carrying his team before KD finally outplays him means nothing to you, or are the facts presented in the OP just too difficult for you to grasp?
