Try paying attention and not expect someone to hand feed you.

This Celtics team is not good. Call me when he beats a real team.

code for "there's no evidence of this, but it fits my narrative"

Everyone who's anyone knows Kyrie wanted his own team.

Lebron essentially made Cleveland pick between him and multiple other players. So yes, he made the deals because that's not even a real decision for the Cavs.
LOL
So much nonsense in this post.

He halfway begged Kyrie Irving to stay. Mr Flat Earth wanted his own team.

And Cleveland HAD to get rid of Thomas. Dude was leaking info including private meetings to the Boston media like he was on their payroll.

Also newsflash, Thomas wasn't healthy. He had another surgery on the same injury and didn't finish the season with the Lakers.

“This was a very very challenging decision at first but after a while, when you understand and you have that confidence in yourself to understand the magnitude of what you actually can accomplish and potentially can do with other great people. And now that I’m sitting here it just echoes in terms of me just being very appreciative of not only the Cleveland fans, all of Ohio, but as well Bron [for] incorporating me into that special team that we had in Cleveland. Because three Finals in a row, all the shared memories, all the individuals, [Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith]. I could go down the line with the guys that I played with in Cleveland, they all know how I feel about them individually as well as the amount of love that we have for one another. The brotherhood exists … and it will continue.”


Kyrie was forced OUT! DONT FORGET!

Kyrie felt shadowed and probably hated getting called "kid" all the time but I don't think LeBron forced him out. He just wanted his own team and to grow as a player and have his own team.

More like code for pay fricking attention. You need a player to specifically say “I want off this team and they better trade me now” or what?

Absolutely.

This team's more offensively talented but that '07 team was 5th in the league in defense.

WHy does he get so much credit for carrying a shitty roster? He's the reason it's shitty. He forced out every other player capable of consistently creating their own shot.



You fricking haters have held on to any little nugget you can because you bitches have NOTHING ELSE.

its even more of a testament to lebron because he got them to the finals.

His GM skills are already 8 times better than Mjs and thats not wven debatable.

The East is a dumpster fire. I mean Jesus Christ the no 1 seeded Raptors just fired their coach who had them at 59 wins.


If Lebron has defeated the Celtics with Kyrie and Hayward Id be impressed. Cavs will be run off the court against the Rockets or Warriors

Indiana stretches them 7 games

and a Boston team running on 2 cylinders stretches them 7 games and with a lot of ref help in the 4th qt get a win...yeah they are so bad arse.

frick OHIo, frick the cavs, bring on whomever from the west, and for the record, HSTN vs GSW is the finals, sometimes that is just the way it is.
