Lebron's not in chill mode anymore.
Maybe not on one end of the floor.

You have zero objectivetivity on Lue.
I respect that you at least can intelligently illustrate some of the things you dislike about his decisions and I agree with some of them as I’ve maintained he’s an average coach who does some things well and something poorly.
But you’ve already made it clear that we could have a perfect game, and you would give ZERO percent of the credit to Lue. Which gets at a strange paradox wherein when we’re playing well it’s ALL in the players and when we’re playing poorly it’s ALL because things he did in game, in practice, or schematically.
LeBron in the post game interview even said they tried out several new things defensively, which is what you do when you have new personnel and a short amount of time to figure out what they can and can not do before you have to settle in on a more narrow plan of attack in matchup specific playoff games.
You’ll give this a disagree and suggest that I’m defending or endorsing Lue which I’m not in fact doing. I’m taking issue with how you assign responsibility for what happens on the floor, especially at this point here we’re still working in 4 new guys, defining Cedi’s role, and doing it all as we can only anticipate how Love will fit into and positively/negatively affect what we’re doing.
He just averaged a triple double for the month of February, but if you can't enjoy watching him play while he's still in the NBA that's your loss.Maybe not on one end of the floor.

His defense (or lackthereof) during the regular doesn't really bother me much. He's turned it on this year when he needed to. It's when he gets passive on offense and settles for jumpers that I get annoyed.Lebron in the last 3 mins attacked the basket like a man possessed. He wanted this win badly after he had realized the Cavs were in major trouble.
This was insane.
His defense though was not up to par.

LeBron with a super humble interview with Allie.
I mean, he has a right to say what he says, but that was the biggest case of sucking your own dick that I’ve seen in awhile.

This Nets team is terrible. Everything we did tonight was wrong.
I'm relieved beyond belief that the Cavs won this game, as I can't imagine how I would feel if they didn't. This just shouldn't be like this.
Every defensive PnR play was bad, every switch was late and uncoordinated, players were rotating to the wrong players...it was a total chaos.
There was no reason to switch the PnRs tonight as the Nets are one of the worst teams in the league in PnRs. Literally the only thing they are good at on the offensive end is shooting Spot ups in which they are ranked 4th in the league.
I have seen everything tonight. I'm traumatized and and disgusted by our game plan(or lack thereof) and execution.
Just by scouting the Nets though they should probably be the easiest teams to score against given our personnel. They can not defend off-screens to save their lives...Korver could have reached 30 points easily if we ran stagger screens for him on every possession.
I can't believe Nance took that 16 foot jumper...this requires some big fucking balls. Wow.
Actually all role players came up big tonight, so they might not be regular role players after all and might come up big when it counts in the playoffs.
I applaud the players on the floor tonight for saving the Nets pick. I salute them.
I almost had a heart attack, seriously.
It’s Longabardi defensively installing his shitty schemes.
But for some reason, Lue won’t let the FO axe that guy. They wanted to. Lue said he’d walk if Longo goes.
