LeBron James

[castor777]

Jimmy Butler is by far the toughest test that Lebron will face in this playoffs outside of maybe Draymond green if that's how GSW would run it.

I actually think Atlanta is the easier matchup for the Cavs. Shump and Lebron can fairly easily shutdown the ball movement in the backcourt, and Moz and TT should do fine with Horford. Also, last time we played ATL, JR played Korver almost to a standstill, and Korver is playing like a shell of himself anyway for the last month and a half.


And if the Clippers or the Rockets claw their way into the Finals somehow, my god we might win a title this year.

Ah man, I'd love the Rockets. Clippers have never made it that far obviously so it'd be new ground for them, but I think LeBron vs. Harden is a matchup LBJ would absolutely crave.

And Harden has been straight terrible in this series. Really, the playoffs in general.

Atlanta's biggest strength against us is Teague andf Schroeder penetrating and opening up their offense for a couple of passes and eventually finding an open shot.

Shumpert is our new secret weapon against quick guards. All he has to do is keep Teague from going absolutely nuts and we can handle ATL pretty easily. Carroll won't be able to contribute as much offensively now that he's going to have to guard LBJ the entire series.

Here is the problem.

Kyrie would have to chase Korver off of screens. I'm more concerned about Korver than Teague. Yea he's been off against the Wizards, but I'd worried about him suddenly draining 3s against us.

Cavs finna pull an OSU and win the title against all odds?

If they do, it might be the best Cleveland sports year ever.

Gotta get through ECF first though. I think the Hawks would be another dragged out series going at least 6 games unfortunately. Thankfully I'm not sure it'd be as physical as the last two.

What a weirdly random and irrelevant comment to make. I wonder what spurred this troll tweet?

There was a poll done that said that thirty-something percent of fans thought that MJ could beat LeBron today.

So old ass MJ vs. current day LeBron.

ESPN did their own poll and got the same numbers.

So basically those thirty percent are brain dead.

It does not surprise me at all that 30% of ESPN's audience are certifiable idiots.

What more can you expect of people who sit around listening to ESPN all day. They're basically the Fox News of sports. Everything is motivated by agenda rather than fact.

This reminds me of the Jim Brown - Franco Harris feud. Brown was upset that Harris was going to break some of his records. So, Jim challenged Harris to a race and got his ass beat. Father time conquers all. Jordan would get his ass beat too. It wouldn't even be close.

Michael Jordan was incredible, can't deny how great he was. But if anyone truly believes today, he'd have any chance against LeBron in a one-on-one is a moron.

Michael might hurt himself just trying to play him.

Maybe Michael could probably get a few baskets on LeBron even. Nothing to the hoop, but a few perimeter shots, sure, maybe.


But LeBron is 6-9 probably 260. Does anyone really believe Michael at 52 years of age could guard that?

There's not a single player in the NBA today that can defend LeBron straight up, single coverage, and stop him from getting to the basket without help defense.

Even Jordan in his prime, would struggle given he's 6-6 and 200 pounds.

Jordan was a great defender, outstanding, but he would struggle against LeBron defensively even in his prime. I wouldn't say he couldn't guard him at all, but not single coverage without any help at all.

Lebron played a great game last night IMO. Poor shooting again, but he worked within the offense. I thought it was the best team game against the Bulls.
