Lakers didn't score during his hot "offensive" streak. Yea we didn't play great defense, but if we had just made a damn shot we would've sealed the deal.
EagleFan 713 He is so good at creating a false narrative though and then talking about it for a full segment. It is actually pretty ingenious because it insures that Colin is always talking about different things than other sports talk shows. That is a huge deal because most other shows are all talking about the exact same topics.
But Colin before the season you told us that IT and Kyrie were the same player when IT was on the Cavs but now it IT's fault??? Stick to one narrative and stop flip flopping your opinion
yungsosaTV been watching the Celtics since 99... they're clearly better this year and they don't have Hayword... the 17 Celtics had completely different players except Horford and Smart can't really compare
I'll say it one more time. If Isaiah & LeBron would've been given 30 games to sort their games out on the court like other teams have given their star players they would've figured it out.
This is disgusting first they say kyrie stupid for wanting out and that bron doesn't need him. Then they say IT is just as good as kyrie and once he comes back they'll be great. Didn't work out. Then they blame Kevin love. Love gets hurt they still lose. Then LeBron needs more help younger guys. Then they trade the whole team. Now IT is gone love is hurt they're younger and still struggling. Who are they going to blame now? Oh I know Ty Lue and let's not forget they fired blatt when they were 30-11 and promoted Ty Lue. If it were any other all time great losing as much as LeBron they'll crucify him.
Isaac Barrow after watching this season he realized that it wasn't true and he changed his mind. It's just because he had so much success with Boston that maybe he thought that he would have the same impact as kyrie if he went to the cavs. But this season exposed IT's flaws so badly. Everyone before this season started comparing kyrie and Isaiah. So you can't really get on Colin's neck for this topic.
Isaac Barrow he will never admit he was wrong about Kyrie tho. That’s why it will be so sweet if Boston knocks off the Cavs and seeing Colin the next morning.
imo KCP and IT have equal blame in this meltdown. stupid fouls and ill advised shots in crunch time plus missed critical free throws. this game was in hand. smh
It’s all Thomas fault. Not Lonzo shooting poorly and Dame lighting him up. Not Kuzma shooting 2-6. Its all Thomas. Never mind Thomas was on the team during the winning streak they JUST had....Cowherd NEEDS to make IT look bad so the cavs struggles can be pushed on him and not lebron
Aaaannnnndddd....the Cavs still lost in the finals last year. I fail to see the point in Colin's argument in the last part of this segment. Regular season means absolutely NOTHING, if you can't seal the deal.
Stop switching the narrative to make lebron look good Kryie left cause lebron is a drama queen and IT got traded because the same reason Lebron is great but he is not the easiest player to play robin with teammates hated Jordan and Kobe but no superstar was stupid enough to leave them remember Shaq hated Kobe but he didn’t asked to be traded the lakers didn’t resign him he would have stuck out to win says a lot about lebron 🤔
why does he not mention the Pacers in the East when they’re better than MIL and WSH.. and has TB over all three teams CLE 3-1, MIL 3-1, WSH, 1-2 but have another coming up, BOS 1-2 due to injuries to Vic and Turner, TOR 1-1
You can blame IT, but he didn't make Lebron have the worst +/- in all of professional basketball for the month of January only to watch him turn it back up after the trades. Lebron takes the blame for sabotaging his own team, IT was just a victim of Lebron's temper tantrum...
Why does everyone always act like "Kyrie didn't like LeBron" is a given? The two guys won a title together, got along, and didn't stoop to 1 TENTH of the level of rivalry that KD/Westbrook did. IT and LeBron didn't get along because IT was a whiny, bad, privileged little cretin. LeBron's been to the finals with 2 different teams and 3 completely different starting lineups; he's not a hard player to work with unless you have an ego the size of Jupiter or don't play to your potential.
abbott360 because people like you continue to watch him. He draws viewers. He doesn’t even believe all the stuff he says, he just says it because he knows people will watch/listen.
Up only 8 with 5 minutes to go is plenty of time. Especially for guys like dame and CJ. IT exerted himself too much that game but he reaching saying the game was over especially since dame and CJ were the best players in the game.
LUKE WALTON LOST THAT GAME FOR THE LAKERS, has IT ever given anyone reason to believe that he's anything except a scorer? Sometimes, he doesn't hit, and it can go bad because he has no off switch. But a good coach will recognize that IT is wasting possessions and PULL HIM, Luke Walton didn't do that. I'm not saying that it's not somewhat IT's fault for continuing to shoot, but that's what he does, how are we going to ask him to be someone else?
Instead of putting IT before and after Brad Stevens... It should be IT before and after his INJURY. You can't sit in a chair and put this up when IT is coming off a major injury. It's not fair to the player and it's bad journalism geared towards making LeBron look good. LeBron is tough to deal with. The Cavs franchise revolves around him. Also it was found out that he was all for trading Kyrie. Why would Kyrie stay ??? He's a star that wanted to be known for his own brand and not get overshadowed by the LeBron craze. This team was supposedly his ... Until LeBron decided to come back. Some could argue that Kyrie should have left sooner. 👍
isaiah thomas is playing for a contract at this point. that's why he's trying to much. He needs a job, and everyone is saying he won't get a contract, so he's trying to ball out to get a max deal
If it was an IT issue in Cleveland then why do the Cavs still suck? 2-3 record over the last 5 games. Lebron is done and he will not win another title as "The Guy" on the team. He has declined to the point where he needs about 3 NBA Stars around him to win.
Lebron is difficult to be around for other stars and superstars but he is great with role players. In Kyrie's case he was tired of lebron talking down to him. In IT's case he just wanted to be the main guy in Cleveland when clearly that is Lebron. Just look at how Lebron lifted Dellavedova and these new guys that came into cleveland. Lebron needs to recognise this and use this as motivation to win.
I like IT and the chip on his shoulder. He has Great confidence but He has to Learn to be a team player. He needs to pass thè Ball and not take horrible shots. In his mind He is élite but He is not. This season has killed his chance of a big pay day. More so from selfish attitude than anything. Every shooter had bad nights 5-21 shooting. If your shooting bad get your teammates involved and go with thè Hot hand. If steph curry is on klay or durrant May get less shots. Got accept it wasnt your night and pass thè Ball. Walton should of sat him in most of thè 4th quartier because He has no defense, rebounding, and assists. If He isnt scoring He gives toi nothing. Blame walton for thè lose.
Tony Montana "Their best PF" sorry but Larry Nance jr. was not their best PF have you seen Randle play recently? Plus don't forget all the cap room they have this summer since IT and Frye are on expiring contracts.
joe schmo they traded 2 young productive players for a fake dream in the summer Tell me how has the big picture deal is working out for the lakers , magic chose flashy lonzo over Mitchell..Lonzo is average They trade for cap space , they ruined their stability
yorknorthyorkeastyork etobicoketorontoscarborough I'm just being a team player. Also I'm shooting a much better % and am playing very good defense. It's not a coincidence that LeBrons teammates are always bad defenders.
- THE STAN ABARCA What does that have to do with it? He also has had absolutely no competition and has played on teams that would make the Finals without him.
Lebron's legacy is cleveland and leaving again will ruin his legacy. He needs to create his own scottie and horace grant out of the players he has to go and challenge golden state.
Lol remember that report where it said the celtics players didn’t like him either? And other nba players said he talked his way off of Cleveland. And now we see him choking a game away last night, he wont be a Laker next season.
Do the Cavs have enough in them to make a successful playoff run?
The Herd with Colin Cowherd fDZi
If by successful you mean win an championships.No
Yes
No
+The Herd with Colin Cowherd The more you ignore the Raptors the more awkward this gets buddy.
IT lost that game for the Lakers, should've been their 6th straight win.
Did you see Dame Lillard????
dame time was in full affect nun a 5"8 gaurd can do about that
Lakers didn't score during his hot "offensive" streak. Yea we didn't play great defense, but if we had just made a damn shot we would've sealed the deal.
IT 5-20 17pts,, it wasn't all on him but he gotta be more efficient Lakers shoulda closed it out
LOGICAL MIND you’re high if you think lonzo better than It
I enjoy the Herd,great show. But Colin has to stop making up storylines. The narrative was never Lebron was a bad teammate . The media blamed IT
EagleFan 713 He is so good at creating a false narrative though and then talking about it for a full segment. It is actually pretty ingenious because it insures that Colin is always talking about different things than other sports talk shows. That is a huge deal because most other shows are all talking about the exact same topics.
Lebron still is the problem and the cavs will do well to reach the conference semi's
This dude is hella creppy with his obsession with LeBron
He's like the shooter mcgavin fan in happy Gilmore
Aclarke 96 nick wright is worse tho
All you guys are complaining about Colin yet you clicked on the video? 🤷♂️
But Colin before the season you told us that IT and Kyrie were the same player when IT was on the Cavs but now it IT's fault??? Stick to one narrative and stop flip flopping your opinion
awhite_mamba actually i.t. WITH the Celtics was far better than kyrie with the Celtics with a less talented roster ijs
yungsosaTV far better? No. But comparable. Of course
Yea far better 29 pts per game lead the league in 4th qtr scoring and won the 1st seed in the East. Kyrie ain't doing none of that this year
yungsosaTV been watching the Celtics since 99... they're clearly better this year and they don't have Hayword... the 17 Celtics had completely different players except Horford and Smart can't really compare
awhite_mamba so you've never changed your mind on something? exactly
By the early 34-15 Like ratio Colin bout to borrow them knee pads from Nick Wight
Colins Lebron obsession is starting to get creepy...
Rare photo of Colin in the front seat, usually you can't see him cuz his head is in LBJ's lap bobbin
Robert Taylor 😂😂😂😂
I'll say it one more time. If Isaiah & LeBron would've been given 30 games to sort their games out on the court like other teams have given their star players they would've figured it out.
Anyone who watched the LA/ Portland game last night would have to agree with Colin on this one. I.T. is not that good anymore.
His shot selection was really bad last night, also had some bad turnovers. 5 for 21 is not going to cut it.
Its not only IT
The coach Lets him play its his fault too
Have u watched the 7 games before last night?
InterstateStunna559 yeah IT shooting 27% from 3 and 32% amazing lol
InterstateStunna559 has nothing to do with it
This is disgusting first they say kyrie stupid for wanting out and that bron doesn't need him. Then they say IT is just as good as kyrie and once he comes back they'll be great. Didn't work out. Then they blame Kevin love. Love gets hurt they still lose. Then LeBron needs more help younger guys. Then they trade the whole team. Now IT is gone love is hurt they're younger and still struggling. Who are they going to blame now? Oh I know Ty Lue and let's not forget they fired blatt when they were 30-11 and promoted Ty Lue. If it were any other all time great losing as much as LeBron they'll crucify him.
foreal bronsexuals are pathetic
Didn’t Colin say IT was pretty much on Kyrie’s level offensively not too long ago? Lmao what a joke man
Grant D yea , BUT WITH THE CELTICS. He isn’t the same if he has to share the ball
If Torranto doesn't chock they'll come out the East in 6 games against Cavs
That Photoshop was hilarious.
Also, didn't colin say IT was 95 percent of Kyrie?
Isaac Barrow after watching this season he realized that it wasn't true and he changed his mind. It's just because he had so much success with Boston that maybe he thought that he would have the same impact as kyrie if he went to the cavs. But this season exposed IT's flaws so badly. Everyone before this season started comparing kyrie and Isaiah. So you can't really get on Colin's neck for this topic.
Isaac Barrow he will never admit he was wrong about Kyrie tho. That’s why it will be so sweet if Boston knocks off the Cavs and seeing Colin the next morning.
"His name 'IT' is now ironic. He doesn't fix anything." 😂😂
"his name I.T. is ironic, he doesn't fix anything" LOL
I'm just glad Colin shouted out Dame. Dame is a beast!
You and Nick are on Bron's payroll...
"I'm riding with LeBron braaahhhhhh"🤣🤣😂😂
LOL a few weeks ago, wasn't Colin the one who said Kyrie has a bigger attitude than IT as Kyrie was the Duke star and IT was the 60th pick?!?
imo KCP and IT have equal blame in this meltdown. stupid fouls and ill advised shots in crunch time plus missed critical free throws. this game was in hand. smh
Surprised there wasn't more IT segments today lol
8 pt lead with 5 min to go is hardly a game in the bag, Colin. Western Conference teams make that difference up in a minute.
Lmao game over with 5 mins left only up 8? What basketball does Colin watch
It’s all Thomas fault. Not Lonzo shooting poorly and Dame lighting him up. Not Kuzma shooting 2-6. Its all Thomas. Never mind Thomas was on the team during the winning streak they JUST had....Cowherd NEEDS to make IT look bad so the cavs struggles can be pushed on him and not lebron
I've literally never seen anyone blame Lebron for not getting along with IT. Colin completely made that up
stop talking about the cavs concentrate on raptors they deserve to be in the spotlight
Funny how it’s clearly IT fault Lakers loss and all the Lakers haters blame Lonzo.
Aaaannnnndddd....the Cavs still lost in the finals last year. I fail to see the point in Colin's argument in the last part of this segment. Regular season means absolutely NOTHING, if you can't seal the deal.
Stop switching the narrative to make lebron look good Kryie left cause lebron is a drama queen and IT got traded because the same reason Lebron is great but he is not the easiest player to play robin with teammates hated Jordan and Kobe but no superstar was stupid enough to leave them remember Shaq hated Kobe but he didn’t asked to be traded the lakers didn’t resign him he would have stuck out to win says a lot about lebron 🤔
That pic in the car is rock bottom. It's time for therapy.
why does he not mention the Pacers in the East when they’re better than MIL and WSH.. and has TB over all three teams CLE 3-1, MIL 3-1, WSH, 1-2 but have another coming up, BOS 1-2 due to injuries to Vic and Turner, TOR 1-1
You can blame IT, but he didn't make Lebron have the worst +/- in all of professional basketball for the month of January only to watch him turn it back up after the trades. Lebron takes the blame for sabotaging his own team, IT was just a victim of Lebron's temper tantrum...
Putting some respect on dame
Why does everyone always act like "Kyrie didn't like LeBron" is a given? The two guys won a title together, got along, and didn't stoop to 1 TENTH of the level of rivalry that KD/Westbrook did. IT and LeBron didn't get along because IT was a whiny, bad, privileged little cretin. LeBron's been to the finals with 2 different teams and 3 completely different starting lineups; he's not a hard player to work with unless you have an ego the size of Jupiter or don't play to your potential.
Lebron hasn’t made the finals without at least 2 hall’fers since 07. They’re not making the finals simple
This guy is the worst....how does he keep his job?
abbott360 because people like you continue to watch him. He draws viewers. He doesn’t even believe all the stuff he says, he just says it because he knows people will watch/listen.
I’m surprised he didn’t blame Westbrook
Up only 8 with 5 minutes to go is plenty of time. Especially for guys like dame and CJ. IT exerted himself too much that game but he reaching saying the game was over especially since dame and CJ were the best players in the game.
Damn Colin you haven't aged in years
Colin you BETTER admit you’re wrong if Lebron doesn’t make the Finals. I only think Boston has a chance however
LUKE WALTON LOST THAT GAME FOR THE LAKERS, has IT ever given anyone reason to believe that he's anything except a scorer? Sometimes, he doesn't hit, and it can go bad because he has no off switch.
But a good coach will recognize that IT is wasting possessions and PULL HIM, Luke Walton didn't do that. I'm not saying that it's not somewhat IT's fault for continuing to shoot, but that's what he does, how are we going to ask him to be someone else?
LBJ is a quitter and sabotage’s his teammates when he realizes he can’t win with them. Period. Dude is a coward
Instead of putting IT before and after Brad Stevens... It should be IT before and after his INJURY.
You can't sit in a chair and put this up when IT is coming off a major injury. It's not fair to the player and it's bad journalism geared towards making LeBron look good. LeBron is tough to deal with. The Cavs franchise revolves around him. Also it was found out that he was all for trading Kyrie.
Why would Kyrie stay ??? He's a star that wanted to be known for his own brand and not get overshadowed by the LeBron craze. This team was supposedly his ... Until LeBron decided to come back. Some could argue that Kyrie should have left sooner. 👍
He just roasted himself with that picture...
They played 0 defense in the 4th lol lonzo couldn't guard him in the 4th. Stop blaming IT it was the team.
He put himself in a LeBron car? Really Colin?
Its always someone else's fault to Colin....unless its John Wall or Westbrook.
Get Kristine out of there!!! Where is Holly!?
isaiah thomas is playing for a contract at this point. that's why he's trying to much. He needs a job, and everyone is saying he won't get a contract, so he's trying to ball out to get a max deal
Wow bro! Just ignoring raptors even.
I don't know who worships Lebron more, Colin Cowherd or Nick Wright?
If it was an IT issue in Cleveland then why do the Cavs still suck? 2-3 record over the last 5 games. Lebron is done and he will not win another title as "The Guy" on the team. He has declined to the point where he needs about 3 NBA Stars around him to win.
IT is hot garbage, including the way he copies Lillard by looking at his 'watch' in the 4th
It’s because they’re point guards. Bye
Thought u said the Cavs weren’t going to win against Denver
No, LeBron is hard to deal with. Stop cherry-picking and worshiping at the altar of James
Lebron is difficult to be around for other stars and superstars but he is great with role players. In Kyrie's case he was tired of lebron talking down to him. In IT's case he just wanted to be the main guy in Cleveland when clearly that is Lebron. Just look at how Lebron lifted Dellavedova and these new guys that came into cleveland.

THAT WAS DUMB HE PLAYED 100+ GAMES TO COMPARE STATS OF COURSE IT DROPPED OFF
Wouldn’t surprise me if Colin had that photoshopped pic with lebron in his living room tbh
Lebron is by far the worst player with the most talent to play with. His talent makes up for the egregious team chemistry he fosters
I can't wait to hear his excuses wen the cavs get bounced in the 2nd round
I agree, IT is a great story, but he's not an elite player.
This is the same guy that was saying IT does everything just as well as Kyrie Irving but Kyrie had better branding. Hahah this guy.
He loses games for lakers but thats a good thing for the lakers in magic johnsons eyes there still tanking
I'm riding with the Raptors
No respect for my pacers
IT was only good in boston because the system look at every other team hes been with smh
IT is leaving the lakers next year anyway.
so he lost a game so that means everyone was lying about lebron? Isiah thomas can be trash and lebron james can be a bad teammate at the same time
LeGM finessed the lakers for their best PF and their best guard for a trash can 😂😂😂 thanks magic stay positive
look at the bigger picture dude
Tony Montana "Their best PF" sorry but Larry Nance jr. was not their best PF have you seen Randle play recently?
Plus don't forget all the cap room they have this summer since IT and Frye are on expiring contracts.
joe schmo they traded 2 young productive players for a fake dream in the summer
Tell me how has the big picture deal is working out for the lakers , magic chose flashy lonzo over Mitchell..Lonzo is average
They trade for cap space , they ruined their stability
LEBRON IS GOING TO PHILLY
Great piece Colin ... IT was made great by Brad Stevens..... Coach Lue though ... cant coach ...
Who's that laughing in the background
It's not Kristen
I.t. Is so trash an a selfish player and nobody even talks about it.. the lakers should just buy him out..
You mean like what you do with Russel Westbrook
It be happy 2 b the sixth man: play 26 min/game shoot 15 times a game and play 5 more years.
Pretty sure Lebron and not so clutch sports pay off people like Colin
LeBron is definitely the problem in pretty much every case. This is the 1 time out of dozens of occasions that it wasn't completely all on LeBron.
Kyrie Irving all your stats are down this year. Guess it is LeBron's fault you peaked while playing with him
yorknorthyorkeastyork etobicoketorontoscarborough I'm just being a team player. Also I'm shooting a much better % and am playing very good defense. It's not a coincidence that LeBrons teammates are always bad defenders.
Kyrie Irving shooting percentage is down. Your improved defence still sucks. Nice try
yorknorthyorkeastyork etobicoketorontoscarborough Nah, you are high.
- THE STAN ABARCA What does that have to do with it? He also has had absolutely no competition and has played on teams that would make the Finals without him.
Lebron's legacy is cleveland and leaving again will ruin his legacy. He needs to create his own scottie and horace grant out of the players he has to go and challenge golden state.
This dude + Nick Wright are even worse than Skip Bayless.
MrJBleedge you must really like bad commentary then
Don’t go that far
MrJBleedge nick wrights actually pretty good overall, he's just insane on all things Lebron which is unfortunately what he's best known for
Wrong
Wrong!
they are right right IT wants to be Alpha to compensate but it took away wins
Duuuuh!
IT had no problem in Boston and no problem in LA so far maybe its Lebrons fault
A1r_Jordan no and no
A1r_Jordan its never lebrons fault
Lol remember that report where it said the celtics players didn’t like him either? And other nba players said he talked his way off of Cleveland. And now we see him choking a game away last night, he wont be a Laker next season.
WaveMaster99 Lol shut up, the lakers are trash regardless
Grant D that is factual but I gotta add my two cents on IT 😂 he’s overrated
Stop Colin.. Just stop..
If BI would of played we would of won. Soooo 🤫
Lmaooooo
Ur high
