    Yep.

    That play sucks, but LeBron is still a thousand times better than anyone on our team and would immediately make our team a no-question playoff team. You add Paul George and we're a no question Top 4 team in the NBA.

    Lance Stephenson is back, and being physical with LLLLLebron. And instead of just going off on him in a HOF'er kind of way, he's flopping and whining. So disappointing, but also totally expected.

    It would be pointless unless we can get a closer too. He’s not that guy.

    He also doesn’t seem to be the type to handle his inevitable decline gracefully. If you think he’s bad now, just wait...

    I did enjoy seeing that he lost big followed by internet ripping and the predictable narcissism. It’s almost too easy to call.

    You have a link to this predictable narcissism you speak of? What was he saying after game 1?

    To be fair, it’s a really stupid question, which do come around this time of year. To ask a guy who has been to 7 Finals in a row how he feels or if he’s worried about losing 1 first round game, stupid. I might even go full Stephen A and call it disrespectful.

    Yeah I don't get how anybody could ask LeBron such a dumb question. I fully expect the Cavs to win this series still and it would not surprise me one bit if they won the next 4 games.

    People who say they don't want LeBron on their team are completely delusional. The guy is STILL the best player in the league by a wide margin lol.

    If we got LeBron and nobody else this summer...we're contenders. If we got LeBron AND PG13 and retained Randle too? We are right there with GS and Houston to win it all.

    I just read the SI article about our upcoming free agency and how this is essentially the summer of the Lakers. Interesting connection: the article's author, Lee Jenkins, is the same guy who got to officially report LeBron's return to Cleveland and helped him write the letter. Something to ponder...

    Looks like Lebron is on a mission tonight. Scored the first 16 points of the game for the Cavs and it's the 2nd time he's scored 20 points in a quarter in the playoffs.

    Yeah, looks like there won’t be any LeBron memes and doom tonight, sirron. Has 29 points on 12-16 shooting at halftime. Yikes.

    Too bad it's not who he is, and he can't do it every night. That's what we all loved about Kobe. He was gunning for you even if he wasn't as efficient.

    LLLLLebron is unable to sustain that type of intensity because it isn't who he is. Just like Kobe could not sustain being a facilitator all the time. It's not his DNA.

    It's why LLLLL needs a closer to play with if he's going to win anything. He's not that guy night in and night out. He'd rather make "the right basketball play" where as Kobe would say "give me the ball and get the f*** out of the way"
