DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) It's hard to like LeBron. While he doesn't get into trouble off the court or anything, and his support of such a shithole in Cleveland and Ohio in general (because it's where he's from) is heartwarming, he is the epitome of what's wrong with basketball nowadays. Coaches are no longer allowed to coach, and you know why? Because the best player in the world dictated it with his constant under-the-radar whining if things are exactly how he wants them. Now we've got second tier stars like James Harden refusing to take any coaching whatsoever because...well, LeBron does it, so why can't I? Star players have begun to pick and choose their teammates, creating superteams that often cakewalk through their conference playoffs. You know why? Because LeBron thought it'd be great to play with his buddies. LeBron James is an incredible player and a joy to watch, but as a person I can't like him because I honestly feel like he's ruined a lot that was great about basketball. So many players are uncoachable, now. It's ridiculous. LeBron's whining about coaching even got a very good coach in David Blatt fired in favor of Lue, who is nothing special whatsoever. His rotations are silly. His decision to start Tristan Thompson was fucking dumb and only worked out because the East is a laughingstock. Not liking a player because he's not willing to put up a front office that doesn't bring results? That has no loyalty to a player beyond how much revenue they can bring in? Additionally this isn't new as many superstars since the Jordan era have either demanded, or complained about being traded, etc due to losing. Kobe did it and admitted to it. Same goes for superstars ignoring coaches, or rebelling against coaches. These guys are professional athletes, and just about every superstar choses to freelance at times. These coaches and GMs bending over backwards for 2nd tier superstars is as much a reflection of how soft and willing to bend over backwards they are as it is superstars supposedly developing bigger egos. It's your opinion so I'm not going to try to somehow convince you or anyone else otherwise but.... I don't buy that reasoning...

Thanatos 2,847 Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Cav fans everywhere are looking for excuses.... But the bottom line is, Cleveland can't play defense, and they are going to get swept. This makes my heart happy. Way to go, LBJ carried that damn team to a Finals victory. Dominating performances all around. Better be MVP too.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted June 20, 2016 Steph Curry being a dumbass was the Cavs MVP in that game. So many poor choices in the 4th, but that's basically Curry's game, poor choices working out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) ^And the craziest part about it is that Kevin Love played great defense on him down the stretch (Steph). Edited June 20, 2016 by DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted June 20, 2016 Like last year when Cleveland likely would have won with Kyrie/Love, I think GSW would have won with Bogut. Cleveland got a bunch of points on fouls under the basket while guys were fighting for rebounds and GSW got called for legitimate fouls, most obviously in the latter parts of the third quarter. While Andrew Bogut is GSW's 4th or 5th best player, he is a lynchpin in what they do. He provides great rim protection, rebounds very well, minimizing second chance opportunities for the opposing team. He would have gotten some first chance rebounds that guys like Draymond, Barnes, and Iggy couldn't get tonight. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 20, 2016 Andrew fucking Bogut is the Warriors lynch pin? Lmao. If that's true, the Warriors are a joke and nowhere near as good as people made them out to be. Although perhaps that can be said either way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucman 891 Posted June 20, 2016 Bware stick to what you know and that's switching favorite teams every month. Bogut may be the 10th best player in that team. Iggy, Barnes are certainly better 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iggy, Barnes are certainly better Building a Brick House Barnes better than Bogut? ROFL. And JD, Bogut is their rim protector and best rebounder. He negates so many of Cleveland's extra possessions last night. Don't underestimate the impact of a great defensive Center. Just to clarify, I'm not selling short what Cleveland accomplished. Just pointing out that Bogut would have made a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KLove is a not on the same level as either Bron or Kyrie, especially after he lost the weight to become pretty much just a shooter offensively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
