There's an awesome article out there about LeBron James and his play in these first three games. Talks about how he is becoming a new type of leader. He was quoted saying that the Cavs have had a lot of losing lately and things needed to change. Passes needed to be made, shots taken by the right people, etc. Last night James scored 0 points in the second half while Irving and Waiters took 19 shots. Irving shot terrible last night and they lost big time. The whole time, LeBron took 4 shots and casually looked in from the distance. Almost like teaching a lesson. If this team can learn that lesson, they can be deadly. The talent is ridiculous on that squad.
or you know he can quit the BS, love each other crapola and take the game over himself like he should because Irving and Waiters aren't close to half the players that he is...
That's tough to do physically, especially after having to do this in the playoffs last year when Wade was hurting. Expecting a guy to do that all year is crazy.
Oh shit whats up Byz... wifi been off? lol.. but yeah anyway my sports life fucking sucks right now ..
LeBron looks physically weaker.. i dont think his little work out thing benefited him. He attacks the paint so much weaker now i don't see the unstoppable force that he was a year ago. His jumper isn't even sailing far enough they all hit the front of the rim. He should put that weight back on lol. The thing about the cavs compared to the heat is Wade gave him that green light to be the lead guy. Kyrie and Waiters are young and they are going to want to get theirs, they are building their own legacy as well as trying to win. Plus now you got Love, he has to get his shots up as well or the trade would be pointless and he plays ZERO defense. It's only 3 games i'm sure they will gel a little bit more as the season goes on but they have no identity right now & LeBron looks frustrated and not as good as we know him to be.
LeBron will be fine, but if this blows up and Love leaves next offseason I'd love to see what LeBron would do. If I had to take a guess, he'd probably run , just like he always does. But I think the Cavs will be fine, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing them implode!
Yeah i almost would have to think they still will be a ECF team when it's said and done but still.. it's kind of alarming to see that kind of play and frustration from lebron in what is supposed to be a special season.
Some things never change. Popovich again chooses the primetime TNT game to rest players. Duncan is sitting tonight, possibly others (also Ginobili, Splitter, Mills, and Belinelli, I believe). Tail end of a back to back, but Pop always chooses the TNT game as the one to rest players, as opposed to the front end. Spurs/Rockets and Blazers/Mavs tonight, two good West matchups.
2 good games indeed, but about pop, I feel like he is just trolling TNT/NBA. It's pretty hilarious actually.
Not surprised to see Manu and Duncan sitting, yeah, Pop does hate TNT games. As far as the others, Mills will be out until mid season, Splitter is still nursing an injury, and Bellinelli injured his groin last night halfway through and never returned.
