    I actually think we have a small chance vs the Warriors. I give us more of a shot than i do the Cavs anyways... No offense @CavalierTillDeath

    As much as I love our chances vs you and even Warriors, I still say LeBron will take it over and find a way...

    It'll take a lot for the Cavs to even get to the finals again. I think they have to make a trade.

    He's checked out. Unless they make a big trade the Finals streak is over. I've seen this look/attitude on the court from him twice before. 1st was the first time he left after losing to Boston in the playoffs, the 2nd was when the Spurs were absolutely beating them down in the Finals.

    I know the Cavs are at his mercy because of his short term deals, perfect example are the Smith/TT deals, but you can't operate like that. MJ was furious the Bulls didn't trade Pippen for Kemp, and look how that turned out. You can't make every single move at your superstars wishes, that s--- destroys franchises for years.

    I don't wanna write off the Cavs or LeBron, but I really feel we have a chance this year.

    This is why LeBron isn't on Jordan, Kobe, Magic or Bird's level to me though. He has the ability to bring this team to the Finals, and make it a series, but to me, he likes the easy road.

    There's times in big moments, that he just totally folds or defaults. It drives me nuts.

    There was a play in, I think Game 3 of the Finals, where there was a minute to go, LeBron had the ball, and he kicked it to Korver, and Korver missed it, and Warriors ended up winning.

    Like, BRO YOU WERE ONE ON ONE WIT DRAYMOND! I don't give a f--- how good he is defensively, you can blow by him one on one, or post him up.

    And I know people will say he made the right basketball move, but there's no f---ing way Jordan or Kobe or Bird is kicking it to Korver in that scenario, not when they're one on one lmao.

    Also, I know that he said that the story wasn't true, but he hasn't said "I'm not going to the Warriors." That is bothering me. Like bro, I want him to say "No, I'd never go to the Warriors. My goal is to take them down, not join them"

    All he's said is "I won't discuss this until summer is here" It's so f---ing annoying to me that this guy MIGHT actually be considering that.

    You don't need all these f---ing superstars. You're LeBron f---ing James. You can f---ing drive passed anyone, you can post up. Draw double teams and kick it out. You legit can do ANYTHING, yet you want all these f---ing superstars and want to play GM. It's really disheartening to me as a fan of the sport.

    As a Boston fan, I HAVE supported LeBron and rooted for the guy, but to me, he only had a window of maybe 4-5 years where he truly reminded me of those greats. 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016. And I still feel 2012 and 2013 was bs because he joined the Heat, but he definitely played on another level in those years, and seemed insanely hungry, and played with a chip on his shoulder, like a Kobe, Bird or Jordan....

    Otherwise, most the time, LeBron just folds up or straight up quits, and it's just f---ing irritating.

    Sorry for the rant, but you mentioning his "look" and how franchises can't let them play GM just set me off, cuz it's so true.

    Stevens is unreal. Always got his guys in a position to win no matter who's out there. Kyrie's decision is looking smarter and smarter every game.

    Didn’t think losing Robes would have this much of an affect... But here we are, losing 4 games and basically every team looking like the warriors from deep.

    Losing him definitely is a negative but I think it speaks more to what OKC has had to put in for him, and their lack of production. Very surprised they weren't in the running for Avery Bradley. I'm pretty sure he can still be traded for a pick this season, so maybe they'll make that move.

    No doubt especially after the horrific loss to Houston. But like Brady until LEBRON gives me a reason to doubt him in the east in the postseason I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. As a Clevelander though we all know this team isn’t gonna win s---. And I hate kyrie
