Except Howard played well this season; maybe not worth his salary, but he wasn’t a walking stiff like on Atlanta. LeBron + Kemba + Howard would easily win the East.

Not clearly shown in any of those photos: the huge blood spot in LeBron’s left eye. He’d better hope Draymond wasn’t marinating that finger overnight in a mason jar full of sweat, dog urine, and chicken juice in preparation for the game.

That may be true, but you’ll have to forgive me, as I often forget that Tristan Thompson is on the Cavs NOW, when I’m WATCHING THEM PLAY.

The narrative that LeBron has no help is tired and lame. LeBron has some pretty good teammates. He chased some of them off at the beginning of the year. He chased some of them off in the middle of the year. He refused to let one of them in the game last night when it was clear that his team was benefitting from his…

Yeah that hack LeBron only put up a 51-8-8 on 60% shooting. The real story is Kevin Love being the games 5th highest score and Kyle Korvers 3 points. Why is no one talking about korver?! 3 points!!

Tristan Thompson was actually the 2nd best player that year

You mean the same LeBron who told them not to trade Kyrie but they did anyway? I know it doesn’t fit your narrative that this team is somehow Lebron’s creation but it’s the truth and is well documented.

Poor LeBron - he should probably have a word with the GM that built this team.

Say what you will but this NBA season has been ridiculously good: the storylines, the personalities, the scandals, the speculative news. This week alone has been pure gold.

This is because nobody chooses to go to Charlotte.

JR Smith is James’s purgatory for The Decision.

What stops LeBron from just tapping out for the rest of the series? He’s done literally everything. He should just fly to Akron, LA or Miami and call it a day. At least the 2005 squad maximize every bit of their talent and gave the Dubs everything they had except for one person....

It’s #12 in the link.

LRW (LeBron Reaction When) Javale and Swaggy P are in the series and the dumbest player in the Finals is still on your team

In terms of the NBA Officials website (link below), I don’t know how the block/charge replay was even triggered since Lebron was CLEARLY outside the restricted area

Hot(ish?) take: Would it be better for the Cavs to start some fucking possessions with the ball in someone else’s hands? When the D knows that every trip down the floor is going to begin and end with LeBron, they don’t have to do a hell of a lot.

I don’t see how this (absolutely correct) comment could possibly be improved.

No one ever mentions them as a potential destination, but I think LeBron would love playing with Kemba in Charlotte
