    I mean he's not wrong. They've been incredibly fortunate. If he's trying to compare it to them losing Kyrie though, it's more like "let's see them do that without Harrison Barnes!"

    I think Lebron knows ( better than both of us) staying healthy isn't only a matter of luck ...

    You leave Miami and injury prone Wade to join a roster with Irving and Varejao on it ...

    Dang, subbing himself out like that comes off as a really d*** move. Could have asked for it and waited a few seconds. And the quotes about the Warriors, it's not really a compliment if you qualify it and add a "but". Compliment ends after saying you commend them for being this good. I look forward to the day LBJ retires or declines so bad he is embarrassing out there.

    Touche Lebron. Same can be said about you and the Cavs

    They're 11-4, but they're acting like they're 4-11. The Raptors are also a good team that match up well with them, and they don't have Irving, seems stupid to me to panic right now. He wants them to be as urgent as GS, but they aren't catching them anyway, if they meet in the finals again they won't have home court again.

    I think Lebron is realizing he's not the center of the NBA universe anymore and can't handle it.

    They are 11-4, why are they acting like its the end of the world. They pretty much are going to make it out of the east unless they have a big injury or Chicago finally figures it out. Now if they were 8-7 or something then maybe the freaking out would make sense.

    Props to them for not settling for 11-4 honestly. I support LeBron in that.

    I do agree that he's feeling strange not being considered the center of the NBA world. I also agree they're not catching the Warriors.

    I'd say Lebron knows his time as an elite player is almost up and the Warriors start got him really nervous .

    At best , I think Lebron can compete for a title until the 2017-2018 season ( included )

    I'm actually a pretty big LeBron fan. Didn't used to be, but he's grown on me since he left Miami. I think he's shown good leadership this season. I don't think it's so much about their record, but their lack of consistent energy, effort, and tenacity. With that said I hope he learns a lesson from Kobe. When to get out. He's gonna have as much if not more mileage. Don't stick around and struggle and embarrass yourself on the court.

    In hindsight, Lebron's reign as "best player in the league" was a lot shorter than I expected. He pretty much just filled that gap after Kobe declined enough and before Steph developed until what he is now.

    I just got an ESPN app alert that LeBron hit the game-winner vs the Nets. So what's that for his career, like...3? 4? King of clutch. I guess it is news when it's that rare.

    Game winners? I don't think so. They're probably using that "last minute go ahead bucket when tied or behind" generous stat. I'm talking MJ/Kobe game winners, hell Joe Johnson has more of those than LeBron.

    Nah real GW ...

    On top of my head I can remember :

    Cavs : first one over Turiaf

    Playoffs : 2 against Wizards , " The shot" against Orlando

    Heat : a driving layup against Orlando, a tough 3 at Warriors

    Cavs : the three in the playoffs against the Bulls

    Stop hating :rofl::rofl:;)

    Exactly, and hope it is before he blows by Kobe into 3rd all time scoring in less years. Get out LeBron ..... you don't want that record. :Magic Brows:
