Just stick a god damn man on him and he's done. That didn't happen in the game at all. It was annoying.
Lebron hasn't been able to get into the paint all year, even surrounded by his best cast of shooters ever. He's clearly lost a step or two.
He needs to post up way way more.
My thoughts exactly. Its pretty clear that LeBron is going to get the blame anytime this team loses. He was bad tonight but he was far from the only problem. Letting Pau take his bread and butter midrange 5 times in a row was just unforgivable and like you said, Kyrie was far from perfect during the final stretch of the game.
The Cavs (especially Bron) need spacing and they arent getting. Everyone is quick to tell Bron to get in the post but it isnt that simple unless players are hitting perimeter shots.
All they really have to do is come out strong to start the next game and theyll get the W
The Cavs need to come out in Game 2 and knock the shit out of the Bulls and run them out of the building to make a statement. Remind everyone who's boss.
If they are unable to do that, well, the season is over.
Goddamn you fucking Kelly Olynyk. Goddamn you SO much.
LeBron may lose his pure physical dominance over the next few years (as would be expected), but he can still be a VERY effective player for another half-decade at least. I wholeheartedly believe that. He just needs to adjust his game and style of play some. It's a mental thing.LeBron's best years are behind him, and I wouldn't be surprised if the decline is rapid, from here on out.
It makes me sad to think of how far JR Smith has come this season only to fuck it all up. He really seemed like he turned a new leaf but apparently he was just saving his idiotic shit for the most important time of the season.
Honestly with the way the Cavs shot this game is on him
DelusionalChicago got their one game. They may get one more but the series is over. CAVS in 5. Rose had his game with more than 1 day rest. Not now. Blatt & Lu will adjust, and Lu knows Tibs very well. Kyrie's first playoff loss. He will not like this feeling and break Rose. LBJ will not play this bad again....the rest of the series. Just my two cents.
No. Wrong. Any type of win in game 2 is perfectly fine. Statements don't mean shit in the postseason.
