Refs and the NBA seem to have handed him the game. 40 to 24 in the Free throws because the East without Bron is bad ratings. Its like some fixed Boxing. This show is WAYY Too much Bron love
Mr. FOOTage whats so funny about a guy who makes history because he had 0 help of course it took him 7 games if he finish pacers in 5 or 6 then he is a god ffs
I still don't see how people are complaining about this team that has the same win-lose record as they did last year when they had Kyrie. just sounds like excuses to me.
Sweet Drop Without LeBron this Cavs team probably would have been lucky to win 10 games this year. Without Harden, the Rockets are still in the playoffs and a very good team. LeBron also had better stats. It's literally just about team success at this point.
Its what the media can sell as a story line, harden finally getting a mvp after 2 straight runner up and leading a team to finaly best the warriors in the regular season. Its a media story award
Harden has had a better story this year than LeBron. They had the best record and he has been far more consistent. It’s a regular season award not playoff award. That’s how LeBron is not the MVP this year. If we based it off talent, clearly LeBron would when it every year, but it’s not a talent driven award, unfortunately your team could cost you losing the award, and you cannot get the award without winning. Houston finished 1st in the WEST, not the sloppy East. The Cavs almost completely changed their roster this year, that also messed up LeBron’s chances. Truth is, Harden has had a more consistent and better year, allot of credit goes to his teammates hitting shots, good coaching and a consistent roster, and your MVP this year goes to that beard in Houston, period.
juanio whrn has he taken all the credit? He reguarly gives hia teameates equal credit and responsibility for wins and loses. The media is the one who constantly makes it seem like lbj is the end all be all
Russ and LeBron have got to find new chiropracters after carrying all this dead weight in the playoffs. I've never seen 2 players demanded to do so much just to stay competitive.
Cha Boiiiii he wasnt like this on the first few months on this show either haha writers definitely line him up as devils advocate most segments featuring LBJ
@@Theyaintme_cb6 when you choose to hate someone because you don't like the love and praise they receive from other people, something is seriously wrong with you.
You all making the “Lebron is GM” argument are so dumb tbh. You think he wanted Kyrie to leave? No. Kyrie was selfish and wanted to be the guy, that’s not Lebron’s fault. I don’t think he hand picked these guys
Ramon Lamb it’s selfish to say that if you weren’t traded you would get surgery done on your knee fully knowing that it would take a season or a great deal of time to get it fixed
Amayzinone He was trying to get Kyrie traded, but it didn’t work out and Kyrie found out about it. That’s when Kyrie decided it was time to go and then LeBron didn’t want him to leave because they couldn’t get the trade that LeBron wanted for him.
Nick expects LeBron to drop 40+ points, play 44+ minutes doing everything and guard DeRozan? In year 15? Is he crazy? He must really think LeBron is a machine. Raptors would either have to choke on a legendary level or LeBron's supporting cast to all of a sudden play like a playoff team (not a championship caliber team, just a playoff team) for the Cavs to beat this raptors team.
Lebron will cover the rookie ( cant say his name) but i got raps too... Game 1 is tomorrow i think, and lebron just averaged like 43 mins😦 Raps have home court, and a reliable bench. Not doubting Lebron ( 8 staight finals) but this is gonna be tough
Compton 187 If we're talking about the 05-06 season, Nash averaged like 10.5 APG that season (team player), shot a better FT% and shot a better 3PT% than Kobe. Plus that was the season where Kobe's Lakers blew a 3-1 lead to the Suns in the playoffs, If I'm correct. 💯
What can he do though? If he puts up gaudy numbers and carries the team, he gets dumped on for "playing the GM" and "putting a sorry team together", which is ridiculous in itself. If he puts up lesser numbers and they lose, he's a choke artist. All of ya'll out there who hate on LeBron constantly, what can he do to satisfy you? I'm legitimately curious.
Thomas Lawing thats the price of being the best in the world. I watched Kobe assist to terrible teammates and get 10+ assists and they say "he has to be more aggressive". Then when he's more aggressive "he's a ball hog" and "he never passes". That's the price of being great.
Tevin McCray They have never said he has to be more aggressive in his career other than when he lost to Phoenix in the playoffs. They have always said he needs to be more efficient. For the typical star player like Lebron, Harden, KD, they usually take 5-10 less shots to score the same amount of points compared to Kobe. Kobe was more of a volume shooter a la Russell Westbrook for a very long time. He got a little more efficient eventually but still shot 5-10 more field goals than the average superstar to get the same amount of points
Thomas Lawing He could actually adapt to a team system for once in his career instead of insisting on only playing the LeBron system. All I’ve heard over the years is what a great team player he is and how he makes his teammates better but it’s obvious from watching him play that it’s actually the opposite, but to most of you fans you don’t realize it because you think a lot of assists equates to team play...Westbrook and LeBron are perfect examples that it’s not necessarily the case. LeBron’s an amazing individual player that puts up huge stats, but if he learned to play in a team system years ago he’d have a much better Finals record by now.
Jeremiah Good lol are you serious? The pacers were in the game because of the refs.. The "foul" that put Turner on the line lead dropped to 6.. The "offensive foul" on LeBron .. lead dropped to 4... Then the foul on JR.. lead went to 2... And that's just at the end.. The pacers got a lot of help that the haters overlooked
One Kxng as much as i wanted the pacers to win yeah at the end refs helped a bit. If i remember correctly the one that put turner at the line was a shot clock violation by victor olidipo. But i think there was bad calls both ways
i think what ppl are failing to acknowledge is that the Pacers were much better than their playoff seed. That team I watched was the best defensive team I've seen all year in either conference. Victor Oladipo is unguardable. They had a solid bench and Thad Young's value on both ends is priceless. They could have taken any team (in the East at least) to 7. Oh I didn't even mention Miles Turner. I don't this the Raptors are that much better top to bottom, if at all.
People, stop calling lebron the GM, he did not ask for Kyrie to be traded yet it was still done anyways, lebron has influence like every other top 5 player, but he’s not calling the shots on the team
Lebron tried to trade Kyrie for Chris Paul and Paul George. Chris Broussard reported it. That's why Kyrie asked for a trade. are you doubting Chris Thruthssard? Are questioning the lightskin GOAT?
Cavs supporting cast stepped up. Not sure why the media hasn't recognized JR's defense, Kevin Love's presence, Kyle Korver's hustle and 3 point shooting, jose Calderon stepped up and made some critical plays on both sides, even Tristan Thompson stepped up....If the Cavs supporting cast were playing as week as they are making it seem, Pacers would be going to the second round.
Kyrie leaving was the worst thing to ever happen to LeBron. Yea he had great games, but now you got to play a better Toronto team that moves the ball more, gotten better at the 3, better bench and was top 5 on offense and defense. He'll be even more exhausted than before. They gonna really need him to play all 48 mins 😂😂😂. And before someone brings up "tOrOnTo AlWaYs ChOkEs AgAiNsT lEbRoN", no, they lose to a team that had LeBron and 2 other allstar caliber players with a better bench the last 2 years...and last year Kyle Lowry got hurt, which made it even easier for them to get swept. Not saying Cavs will lose, but this is Lebron's worse team in a long time while this is the best Raptors team in a long time or even ever.
Thomas hardy in a sense of getting a ring, yes it was. But he was told he was going to be the man, later they get LeBron back. Kyrie left and it was prove outside the media that he did not like the fact that they were basically saying he was going to be the man and then get LeBron like days later. He also had to play a style he didn't want to play as well. Like Kyrie said, "i want to play like a point guard". He couldn't with LeBron.
one thing i dislike about fans such as yourself is that you bring up “all-star” as a title without acknowledging production. Kevin Love does not have all-star level production in the playoffs, and i don’t remember which year it was, but Kyrie was not playing very much due to injury while the Cavs shredded the east.
Tony Boots Kyrie left because he wanted his own team and the organization was trying to trade him. Lebron told them not to trade him but the owner hates Lebron so he did it to get at Lebron. Lebron didn’t drive him alway the Cavs organization did.
Bruce Rivers Not true. LeBron was pushing Gilbert to make a trade for Paul George and Eric Bledsoe or somehow for his buddy Chris Paul for Kyrie and it didn’t fall through. Kyrie heard about that proposal and wanted out (as most players would after that). Then Dan Gilbert told LeBron that he wouldn’t trade Kyrie if LeBron signed an extension which LeBron was not willing to do. So Gilbert had no choice but to trade Kyrie to try to get something for him because he knows LeBron is leaving after this season. But God forbid LeBron ever gets blamed for his selfish ways, right?
Tony Boots lol why would Lebron sign away his life to a owner who is racist and hates him. The bottom line is that Kyrie has that Kobe Mentality and wanted to lead a team and unlock his true potential. He was going to leave anyway when his contract was up and I don’t blame him but I’m not going to act like he left solely because of Bron. Kyrie is a alpha and he did what alphas do.
Can anyone else point out the fact that Nick said "even undertaker lost at WrestleMania" lol come on bruh. You lost all credibility comparing LeBron to the Undertaker. Lmao
The Patriots playing in at least the AFC champ game while Brady plays Fenominal football in at least the 4th quarter of both that AFC champ game and Superbowl. Theres another guarantee for you Nick.
When trying to compare Jordan's playoff totals to Brons you have to make sure to put things into context. Some part of Jordan's post season the first round was the best of 5 series.
Nick, if Demar Derozan doesn't score more than 20 in a game, it doesn't spell disaster for the Raptors, in fact they were engineered this season in order to avoid these one-man-shows, and increase their ball sharing to generate more consistent, and more efficient offense. Demar did score more than 20 points in 4 of the 6 games in the series against Washington, but his scoring percentage didn't equate to surefire wins or losses. In the final road game on Friday, he topped off at 16, but they won handily in the fourth by outscoring the Wizards 29-14. The "culture reset" has made it so they don't have to fall back on him when they need offense to pick up. They have a solid starting line up and a deep bench that has a lot of young, raw talent. Dwane Casey can point to any one of his players and make them the focal point of their game plan, and it works. Who can Ty Lue turn to on their roster to carry on scoring in Lebron's absence? Korver? Nance Jr.? Calderon? JR Smith? None of those aforementioned players have been shooting with more than 33% accuracy from the field. Face it, if Lebron has a couple of off games, or can't play more than 40 minutes due to exhaustion, or god forbid he gets injured, the Cavs have no-one to fall back on. The Raptors identity isn't exclusively Derozan, or even Lowry. It's a collective, and it's won them the number one spot in the Eastern Conference, home court advantage throughout the playoffs, and the best home court record, tied with Houston (pssst! Who the Raptors swept this season at home).
Mike2Raw You made up a narrative though, hardly anyone says LBJ didn't contribute. On the other hand y'all act like LBJ won rings alone or had zero superteams, and that he alone carried them. When he loses it's bc his teammates didn't show up, or the chemistry wasn't there. LBJ can play passive which he has and it's "well he was trying to get his teammates involved". It's all excuses when he loses, rinse and repeat every yr.
I'm not a LeBron fan, but the man is a beast! The man beat Indiana by himself! I've never seen anything like this...ever! Not even from Jordan in the 90's.
We are lucky to witness the GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER live. Enjoy it as long as it lasts. With how much he's being overworked, I'm afraid anytime soon some part of LeBron's body will break and he may be done. Even worse than Kobe....
Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Kyle Korver, Jeff Green and George Hill, these people stepped up in Game 1 & 2 against Toronto and proved everyone who says LeBron has no help wrong. If they can keep this going then they don't need Kyrie, Cavs is hitting the finals AGAIN this year. I'm putting my words down here right now: Cavs in 4 against Raptors; Cavs in 6 against Celtics
This is a cool scenario... Chicago Bulls win the championship next year! The starting 5 is Chris Paul, Buddy Hield, LeBron, Laurie Markkanen, and Boogie Cousins. CP3 and Boogie are on player option contracts that pay in year two so they can stay under cap. Bron gets the max at around 33 million. This would give the Bulls 5 excellent shooters at the perimeter and a power house down low.
Nick Wright just disrespected Derozan lol wtf was that? He's obviously better than oladipo and can easily put up 30 on anyone on any night I hope JR takes some steroids or something and locks him up or Green gets some quick shoes to stay in his way cuz you can't win with LeBron guarding Derozan
If lebron makes it to the finals the GOAT discussion is back open. I’m not saying it would make him better than Jordan, I’m saying we need to talk about it again
Compton 187 why do ppl place so much emphasis on finals and not the entire playoff run. If he doesn't play greate in the final we can blame him, but not winning a final should not determine your greatness. The entire team wins a final not an individual. What i know is lebron has had team mates who don't show up when it counts so why should i put tjat on him.
Compton 187 first of all, learn to spell. Second of all, realize that Jordan never had to play a team as good as GS or Houston if they win the west. Jordan also had a roster around him. Take LeBron off the Cavs and they’d be in the lottery
One question would be why Lebrons teammates perform like trash when they play with him? That seems to be the narrative every time he loses. Then people want to know why he doesnt have help. Those same players perform much better on other teams.
Beast of the East Leading up to this years french open it is clear that there isn’t anyone playing there that can match his play. Nothing is guaranteed but nadal (when healthy) at the French is probably the closest thing we will get to a guarantee in all of sports.
The only Way your going to have Klove play well is to have him at his normal 4 position . But we have to wait and see against Toronto if Hood, Clarkson, and Nance will step up. But DeRozan and Lowry avrg 17 ppg against Cavs so they have to step it up also.
I’m not a LeBron fan, but he will probably keep this pace up until he’s 40 considering you’re not allowed to LeTouch him without having to go to the monitor for 25 minutes to see if it’s a flagrant.
Cavs would not have pulled this game 7 off if the whole team performed like they did during previous games. In game 7 cavs had 5 players scoring in double digits, that is how they made it. Give credit where it is due, guys showed up and played unlike some other games in the series.
Win or go home stats are stupid.. You can win more than you lose... If you lose you're out.. When you win, you can have another game again the next game..
Enjoy seeing this man on and off the court. He is the greatest we've seen so far. Cuz his clock is ticking. It hurt to see greats body's fail them. Understand why he looks for help. I hope he come to the bulls but they wouldn't pay him nore get him real help look what they did to rose. I would love to see him on a team like New York with paul melo etc...
LeBron is an absolute legend, but Toronto will be a very hard match up for him. Cavs do not have any depth and the Raptors are the deepest team in the NBA. I'm saying Raptors in 6.
CJ Chewjore as you saw the Cavs have a really good team for the weak east. Give credit to their players, the only reason they are not being treated fairy is the LeBron's ball dominant style and the fact they are coachless.
I think the rest of the Cavs players will be more relaxed after this series. Nobody expects anything from them and they are basically playing with house money. Frankly I think the COACHING is a bigger problem. I like Ty Lue but he just can't make adjustments and half the time he just stands there looking confused.
What are your thoughts on how LeBron played in Game 7?
with all that i saw i'm pretty sure Lebron can beat the undertaker anytime .
My thoughts are that it took him 7 games to beat the pacers lmfao. But now he has a historical game 7 right? lmfao.
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright he’s dragging the carcass that is the cavaliers further than they want to go.
Refs and the NBA seem to have handed him the game. 40 to 24 in the Free throws because the East without Bron is bad ratings. Its like some fixed Boxing. This show is WAYY Too much Bron love
Mr. FOOTage whats so funny about a guy who makes history because he had 0 help of course it took him 7 games if he finish pacers in 5 or 6 then he is a god ffs
Those "Win Or Go Home" Stats thooouuughhhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

you hate him for what reason exactly?
Jared Durham the losses though 🔥🔥🔥
Simmagin Smith Jordan’s are sitting though
I still don't see how people are complaining about this team that has the same win-lose record as they did last year when they had Kyrie.
just sounds like excuses to me.

How is Lebron not the MVP? You take this dude off the team or even if he doesn’t play a few minutes of each game, they lose. To me, that’s real value.
Sweet Drop Without LeBron this Cavs team probably would have been lucky to win 10 games this year. Without Harden, the Rockets are still in the playoffs and a very good team. LeBron also had better stats. It's literally just about team success at this point.
Exactly, I don't know what they judge the MVP on, but it can't be actual value or else LeBron would pretty easily win it just about every year
Its what the media can sell as a story line, harden finally getting a mvp after 2 straight runner up and leading a team to finaly best the warriors in the regular season. Its a media story award
Harden has had a better story this year than LeBron. They had the best record and he has been far more consistent. It’s a regular season award not playoff award.

you can hate on Nick Wright all you want but stats don't lie. ppl have to stop blaming LeBron James for all these losses. it's still a team game.
Deejay Certified You can’t take alll the credit for wins and none of the blame for loses.
He is the star of the team. He also picked his teams for the most part
juanio whrn has he taken all the credit? He reguarly gives hia teameates equal credit and responsibility for wins and loses. The media is the one who constantly makes it seem like lbj is the end all be all

One Kxng as much as i wanted the pacers to win yeah at the end refs helped a bit. If i remember correctly the one that put turner at the line was a shot clock violation by victor olidipo. But i think there was bad calls both ways
I don't think Nick Wright watches basketball. He watches highlights and reviews stats. Idk who gave this man so much spotlight to have his own show.
i think what ppl are failing to acknowledge is that the Pacers were much better than their playoff seed. That team I watched was the best defensive team I've seen all year in either conference.

😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe its the personalities & format but Jenna is an underrated moderator
Is CC getting tired of LBJ? Because he hit it on the head you built this so deal with it.
Tony Jackson. He told ownership to NOT trade kyrie. They did it anyway. This is there mistake not his.
Raza Mohammad
Actually LeBron deserves the majority of the blame for Kyrie leaving.
Tony Boots Kyrie left because he wanted his own team and the organization was trying to trade him. Lebron told them not to trade him but the owner hates Lebron so he did it to get at Lebron. Lebron didn’t drive him alway the Cavs organization did.
Bruce Rivers
Not true. LeBron was pushing Gilbert to make a trade for Paul George and Eric Bledsoe or somehow for his buddy Chris Paul for Kyrie and it didn’t fall through. Kyrie heard about that proposal and wanted out (as most players would after that). Then Dan Gilbert told LeBron that he wouldn’t trade Kyrie if LeBron signed an extension which LeBron was not willing to do. So Gilbert had no choice but to trade Kyrie to try to get something for him because he knows LeBron is leaving after this season. But God forbid LeBron ever gets blamed for his selfish ways, right?
Tony Boots lol why would Lebron sign away his life to a owner who is racist and hates him. The bottom line is that Kyrie has that Kobe Mentality and wanted to lead a team and unlock his true potential. He was going to leave anyway when his contract was up and I don’t blame him but I’m not going to act like he left solely because of Bron. Kyrie is a alpha and he did what alphas do.
I think Lebron was sending a message by saying how exhausted he was after the game. Hopefully his teammates were listening.
Can anyone else point out the fact that Nick said "even undertaker lost at WrestleMania" lol come on bruh. You lost all credibility comparing LeBron to the Undertaker. Lmao
The Patriots playing in at least the AFC champ game while Brady plays Fenominal football in at least the 4th quarter of both that AFC champ game and Superbowl. Theres another guarantee for you Nick.
When trying to compare Jordan's playoff totals to Brons you have to make sure to put things into context. Some part of Jordan's post season the first round was the best of 5 series.
They mentioned "The Undertaker" haha
Nick, if Demar Derozan doesn't score more than 20 in a game, it doesn't spell disaster for the Raptors, in fact they were engineered this season in order to avoid these one-man-shows, and increase their ball sharing to generate more consistent, and more efficient offense. Demar did score more than 20 points in 4 of the 6 games in the series against Washington, but his scoring percentage didn't equate to surefire wins or losses. In the final road game on Friday, he topped off at 16, but they won handily in the fourth by outscoring the Wizards 29-14.
The "culture reset" has made it so they don't have to fall back on him when they need offense to pick up. They have a solid starting line up and a deep bench that has a lot of young, raw talent. Dwane Casey can point to any one of his players and make them the focal point of their game plan, and it works. Who can Ty Lue turn to on their roster to carry on scoring in Lebron's absence? Korver? Nance Jr.? Calderon? JR Smith? None of those aforementioned players have been shooting with more than 33% accuracy from the field.
Face it, if Lebron has a couple of off games, or can't play more than 40 minutes due to exhaustion, or god forbid he gets injured, the Cavs have no-one to fall back on. The Raptors identity isn't exclusively Derozan, or even Lowry. It's a collective, and it's won them the number one spot in the Eastern Conference, home court advantage throughout the playoffs, and the best home court record, tied with Houston (pssst! Who the Raptors swept this season at home).
i thought i was a big lebron stan until I heard nick wright on this post... he spittin gospel today
When Lebron loses it’s all his fault. When he wins he did nothing to contribute.
Said by LeHaters
Mike2Raw when lebron wins he can win with anyone. When he loses he has no help. Said by lbj superfans
Eric Thomas is that not facts?
therealist811 is that not facts?
Mike2Raw
You made up a narrative though, hardly anyone says LBJ didn't contribute. On the other hand y'all act like LBJ won rings alone or had zero superteams, and that he alone carried them. When he loses it's bc his teammates didn't show up, or the chemistry wasn't there. LBJ can play passive which he has and it's "well he was trying to get his teammates involved".
It's all excuses when he loses, rinse and repeat every yr.
eazyduzit5150 just because he played with dwade and Chris Bosh doesn’t make them a super team. Stop watching ESPN to gain knowledge kid
I'm not a LeBron fan, but the man is a beast! The man beat Indiana by himself! I've never seen anything like this...ever! Not even from Jordan in the 90's.
Bojan Bogdonavic scored 30... 30 points in game 3. If that doesn't happen they are up 2-1 and end the series 4-1.
We are lucky to witness the GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER live. Enjoy it as long as it lasts. With how much he's being overworked, I'm afraid anytime soon some part of LeBron's body will break and he may be done. Even worse than Kobe....
3:32
"That's what he wants to do...."
"He doesn't want to do this..."
*thinking*
There's always 3 guys that's come up big on the Cavs, and they're wearing their whistle every game.
These Cavs have taken off probably 1/2 a season of LeBron playing in the NBA. 🤨
Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Kyle Korver, Jeff Green and George Hill, these people stepped up in Game 1 & 2 against Toronto and proved everyone who says LeBron has no help wrong. If they can keep this going then they don't need Kyrie, Cavs is hitting the finals AGAIN this year. I'm putting my words down here right now: Cavs in 4 against Raptors; Cavs in 6 against Celtics
This is a cool scenario... Chicago Bulls win the championship next year! The starting 5 is Chris Paul, Buddy Hield, LeBron, Laurie Markkanen, and Boogie Cousins. CP3 and Boogie are on player option contracts that pay in year two so they can stay under cap. Bron gets the max at around 33 million. This would give the Bulls 5 excellent shooters at the perimeter and a power house down low.
Remind me what board games the tnt crew purchased last year when it was the Toronto vs cavs series last year ?
great dialogue nailed it
Nick dropping an undertaker comment in dead
05:26 LOL i can't stop laughing at that Indiana fail hahaha
Nick Wright just disrespected Derozan lol wtf was that?
He's obviously better than oladipo and can easily put up 30 on anyone on any night
I hope JR takes some steroids or something and locks him up or Green gets some quick shoes to stay in his way cuz you can't win with LeBron guarding Derozan
dawg named nothing but stats for a whole minute straight
If lebron makes it to the finals the GOAT discussion is back open. I’m not saying it would make him better than Jordan, I’m saying we need to talk about it again
Sam Bert lebron is goat.. there's no goat discussion. Ppl have just created a demigod out of Mj's legacy
Root lmaoooo
not going to happen
Compton 187 why do ppl place so much emphasis on finals and not the entire playoff run. If he doesn't play greate in the final we can blame him, but not winning a final should not determine your greatness. The entire team wins a final not an individual. What i know is lebron has had team mates who don't show up when it counts so why should i put tjat on him.
Compton 187 first of all, learn to spell. Second of all, realize that Jordan never had to play a team as good as GS or Houston if they win the west. Jordan also had a roster around him. Take LeBron off the Cavs and they’d be in the lottery
Please don't change up if this happens to go in a different direction
One question would be why Lebrons teammates perform like trash when they play with him? That seems to be the narrative every time he loses. Then people want to know why he doesnt have help. Those same players perform much better on other teams.
Nick Wright with the facts.
Nick, I am going to look for you on Wednesday when the Cavs win the first game.
THOSE ELIMINATION GAME STATS!!! FREAKIN AWESOME
Rafael nadal lost in the french open? Where he was injured and not in form in his worst form against djokovic are you crazy nick wright
Stop Talking about tennis..... 10 french Open titles are not enough for Americans lol.....
Beast of the East Leading up to this years french open it is clear that there isn’t anyone playing there that can match his play. Nothing is guaranteed but nadal (when healthy) at the French is probably the closest thing we will get to a guarantee in all of sports.
Preach nick Wright preacj
Nobody else scoring over 19 points, means the Cavs are rested lol. Come to Canada 🇨🇦 yall
The only Way your going to have Klove play well is to have him at his normal 4 position . But we have to wait and see against Toronto if Hood, Clarkson, and Nance will step up. But DeRozan and Lowry avrg 17 ppg against Cavs so they have to step it up also.
Kevin Love, Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood need to step up the most.
You can argue Dipo and DeMar I’ll prolly take dipo but I love DeMar
I’m not a LeBron fan, but he will probably keep this pace up until he’s 40 considering you’re not allowed to LeTouch him without having to go to the monitor for 25 minutes to see if it’s a flagrant.
Jenna Wolfe is the best female sports voice right now in my opinion.
7:05 I remember in like game 3 were the cavs were up by like 20 at the half and lebron went off. Never seen him that tired during a game
Cavs would not have pulled this game 7 off if the whole team performed like they did during previous games. In game 7 cavs had 5 players scoring in double digits, that is how they made it. Give credit where it is due, guys showed up and played unlike some other games in the series.
The whole LeGM thing is a joke but there’s people that genuinely think LeBron James picked the team he has now 😂
Win or go home stats are stupid.. You can win more than you lose... If you lose you're out.. When you win, you can have another game again the next game..
Kyrie Irving impact needs to be put on notice. We underrate scoring in isolation come playoffs
those win or go home stats...
and people say LeBron ain’t clutch
Nick Wright riding on that LeDick
Tony Engardio
While the L3/8ron stan clan are there watching.
Put in Tristan at center so K.Love doesn't have to play the big tough guy (he's too soft) and can be more versatile and hit 3s
Well may weather is undefeated
Smith and Green can guard DRozan. They cannot stop him, but they can try to contain him.
Enjoy seeing this man on and off the court. He is the greatest we've seen so far. Cuz his clock is ticking. It hurt to see greats body's fail them. Understand why he looks for help. I hope he come to the bulls but they wouldn't pay him nore get him real help look what they did to rose. I would love to see him on a team like New York with paul melo etc...
LeBron is an absolute legend, but Toronto will be a very hard match up for him. Cavs do not have any depth and the Raptors are the deepest team in the NBA. I'm saying Raptors in 6.
CJ Chewjore as you saw the Cavs have a really good team for the weak east. Give credit to their players, the only reason they are not being treated fairy is the LeBron's ball dominant style and the fact they are coachless.
Haven't had a bad game for lebron in 7 years
Just look at this way. The pacers was not an easy team to beat. The pacers were phenomenal in this series.
That adds up to three rings!!!!
Jenna: "I've never seen LeBron look SO TIRED."....sorry Jenna, you don't get it and no one can explain it to you. Sorry.
Bron should take game 1 off completely against raptors
Why does Cris Carter seem like all of his comments about Lebron are backhand compliments?
I think the rest of the Cavs players will be more relaxed after this series. Nobody expects anything from them and they are basically playing with house money. Frankly I think the COACHING is a bigger problem. I like Ty Lue but he just can't make adjustments and half the time he just stands there looking confused.
people keep thinkin the pacers should have been an easy win. the pacers are a tough match up for any team
didn't OKC win the 1st 2 games in that final?
9:44 WHEN U SEE UR EX NEW BOYFRIEND
Is CC reading a teleprompter the entire time for his commentary..WTH is he looking at?
