Seems like Lebron (cry baby) is making Basketball "one man" game.....Its Lebron vs Golden State Warriors....Plays 46 minutes per game...this guy is something...but, Cavs should play like a team since it is a team sports...

collegefootballrocks · Jun 8, 2017 7:52 AM

Well.. Lebron is the game maker. If he's not in the game the deficit is terrible because everyone relies on the Best Player in the world. With Durant, Curry, Thompson .. some of the scoring machine warriors has I would not be surprised if they win this year. All Cavs need to do is make some more three points.. they have been great in the paint.

nepalikto123 · Jun 8, 2017 8:22 AM

I agree...but hey, Lebron is trying to make it a "one man army" kinda game...Cavs is all about James...they are totally dependent only on him...he is also a human and gets tired...46 minutes a game (out of 48 mins)...thats insane.... Durant is the one who is making all this difference...Next year, Thompson might leave but still Warriors would get someone similar to Thompson for sure...they will be a superpower for few more years, I guess...

collegefootballrocks · Jun 8, 2017 9:02 AM

I seriously don’t believe in Warriors until they win the next game. Man, I still get nightmares from Finals Last year. How a team can up by 3-1 and still lose the finals? Oh wait I know how… there is this stupid Kale but goes by Green had to get a flagrant foul for no reason and let the whole team down. And why are they even playing this ZAZA guy? This guy is totally useless and has to ZAZA, if they want to win next game. -  A true but still disappointed Warriors Fan

I am not a fan of a team but a player fan. Big time fan of LBJ. But like collegefootballrocks mentioned.. YES he needs some help from his teammates. Game 3 Love with under 10 points despite the attempts made hurt the team a lot. Although he had a great offensive rebound.. but if he could have scored better I think game 3 was in favor of Cavs. And then Krover, whos supposed to be one of the best 3 point player did not add much to LBJ and team. And this guy ..Williams whats up with his game.. airball and all .. he's pathetic !!

nepalikto123 · Jun 8, 2017 12:20 PM

Lebron is one hell of a player..no doubt; though he always cries for small stuffs...thats different.... Last year's story was different...Green's ejection was debatable/disputable since Lebron was equally involved...and moreover, Durant was not with Warriors last year...More than anything else, Durant is the only player who seems really really hungry for the championship!!!

collegefootballrocks · Jun 8, 2017 12:27 PM

I think one guy who doesn't get enough credit is Steve Kerr. This guy exploited the strength of his team so well, that he won the championship for his team in his rookie year as a coach. Sure, biggest credit should go to Curry- but remember he had been in the league since 2009 and only won a championship in 2015. Kerr made the team play fast offense and let Curry take more shots. Kerr, who himself was a 3-point champ, understood the role that 3-points play played in this era of basketball (where plays in the paint are heavily scrutinized by the refs).

BadhiJanne · Jun 8, 2017 12:32 PM

Quick N Easy recipes Bro, Don't worry...this year it belongs to Warriors...unless NBA again decides to foul out either Durant, Curry or Green for stupid reason... I think 4th game would be won by Cavs since clean sweep would cost Warriors about 22 million dollars and you know its all about BUSINESS...so they might avoid half (11 million loss) by bringing the game back to Bay Area for the final win, which could be on the 5th game...Hope I am wrong though...

collegefootballrocks · Jun 8, 2017 12:34 PM

Seems like it.. this years cup will be going to Golden State. Good for Durant .. the guy deserves it. But they sure did get lucky in conference finals with Leonard and Parker out, or the sweep was not possible PERIOD !!

nepalikto123 · Jun 8, 2017 1:03 PM

I do not agree on that @nepalikto123...The series would have prolonged by one or two games but I do not buy your statement that Spurs would have beat them if Leonard and Parker was healthy....Just my view....

collegefootballrocks · Jun 8, 2017 1:33 PM

Collegefootballrocks -  Have you watched my cooking channel ? I really hope this is just one of a male stereotypes thinking that woman are not interested in basketball or any sports for that matter.

Quick N Easy recipes · Jun 8, 2017 1:38 PM

@Collegefootballrocks.. I never said the SPURS would have beat them but the sweep was not possible. SPURS has come to become a veteran team VS the young and energetic Warriors but the Sweep would not have happened. Popovich is one the best I have ever seen.

nepalikto123 · Jun 8, 2017 1:55 PM

Oh oh, I agree on that part @nepalikto123...my bad.... @Quick N Easy recipe, NO I have not watched any cooking channel....I have no idea what so ever on what you are referring to

collegefootballrocks · Jun 8, 2017 2:38 PM

I hope GS will not disappoint us like the last year. It was really heart breaking to see Cav lifting the trophy on GS home Ground. I hope GS will take a revenge winning tomorrows Game and get the title of NBA Champions 2017 with the Series by 4-0. Hope to see the GS coming back home with the trophy this Time .

PyaaroSajha · Jun 8, 2017 3:30 PM

Yes: history shows that they chocked winning 3 games. Hope that willl not repeat this year.

magorkhe1 · Jun 9, 2017 8:05 PM

If Cavs shoot the ball like they did in game 4, Cavs got it again.

sinope · Jun 10, 2017 1:47 PM

Hopefully Cavs and the cry baby (Lebron) now understands that Basketball is a team game and not an individual sport...Playing 45 minutes on average may increase his stats but the team gonna lose..Distribute the ball...

collegefootballrocks · Jun 13, 2017 7:24 AM

Collegefootballrocks - so playing 45 mins every game and averaging triple doubles in final is Leborn's fault? I am not a Fan of LeBorn or Cavaliers but showing this kind of disrespect to probably the best playing in the history of Basketball is such a Shame. Not putting a good team or getting contribution from other players cant be the fault of Lebron. He is in his 14th year in the league and still plays better than anyone out there. I was heart broken to see the lost by Warriors last year and redemption this year was sweet but i also think it came with the price.  I am afraid last year could have repeated again, if not Durant. So, Please dont get carried away with this win and insult someone who took a series away from you when you were up 3-1.  Last edited: 13-Jun-17 09:35 AM

So I guess this was just a fluke..You bet it is for Collegefootballrocks lol and Dont even look at the stats below because that doesnt make any sense Last edited: 13-Jun-17 10:58 AM

@collegefootballrocks, Lebron is first to have averaged tripledouble in the finals ever, if tripledoubles were that easy then why nobody else was ever able to do it on the finals ever? Averaged 33.6 points, 12 rbs, & 10 ast and shot 56% from the field and 38% from down town. I dont know if you know but 38% is pretty good for a shooter like him or any one not named Curry, Klay, korver and few others. Lebron has assisted 33% of his teammates postseason baskets throughout his career and that my friend is far more than any other player has done save for may be 3 or 4 point guards in the history of the game. BTW he is known to be the most unselfish superstar the game has ever seen. He's been criticized far too many times for passing the ball instead of shooting. In this Finals Warriors outscored Cavaliers by 37.4 points per 100 possessions when he wasnt on the floor, hence he had to play 46 minutes in game 5 and 43 minutes on average these past 5 games. You dont have a clue on what your mouth is yapping. These finals he had a TS% of .630 and EFG% of .615, its just that his team ran into a jauggernaut named Golden State Warriors who are arguably one of the best teams ever assembled.

Truth be told but warriors had no chance this year without Kevin Durant. Respect to Cavs they gave a superb game with the same team to one of the best shooting team in NBA.

nepalikto123 · Jun 13, 2017 1:28 PM

I guess when you counted those turnover did you look at the usage rate for all the players? Ummm.. let me answer that question for you in a resounding NO. Lebron is a defacto Point Guard for his team even though he is a Small Forward. Lebrons Usage rate for the entire 2017 Playoffs was 31.7% in which his turnover rate was 13.8%. Steph Curry's Usage rate for the entire playoffs was 30.0% in which his turnover rate was 13.8%. So, you have have to look at the whole context. Above example tells us that Curry turned the ball over at a higher rate than lebron all while having a lesser usage rate. Durant turned the ball over 10.8% with 28.3 usage rate. I can give you a lot of examples like these. If you handling the ball and running the offense then you are bound to have turnovers. Jose Calderon is one of the best at having a very low turnover ratio with decent usage% but you dont tell him to run a team if you have Lebron on your team.

You stat does not stack up if you stay on the court more minutes than the next guy. What kind of logic is that? What are you 12? I just gave you a reason on my first post, why lebron had to log more minutes. Without him on the court Warriors were outscoring Cavaliers by 34.7 pts per 100 possessions. Look a their offensive rating with him on the court and without and look at his VORP, its night and day. With him their offense becomes historic without him their offense is putrid. And you asking why he want to do it all by himself like he has other options. Look at Cavaliers record for the past 3 years without Lebron and you can come at me with some argument with substance. In the last 3 years Cleveland is 4-21 when Lebron does not play.

Listen, i already told you to bring substance and stats to back up your claim instead of frothing of these nonsense. Yes they have one of the most expensive roster but they lack defensive peremiter guys who can stop the point of attack outside of the paint. Their two stars in Love and Irving are both defensively underwhelming, they could not stop Warriors when it mattered the most. Whereas, Warriors have plus defenders in Klay, Draymond, Durant, Iguodala. BTW no, all the money is not sucked up by lebron. WTH, he is getting paid 30% of the salary cap a designated star player with 10+ yrs of experience gets. Have you looked around the league, Mike Conley is making 30+ mil, Horford is making 27 mil, lot of the free agents this year will be making as much as Lebron. If you want me to educate you on nba salary capalogy and analytics then let me know because thats what i do.

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. My intention is not to hurt anyone's feelings however here is my two cents to Basebook. As per my Father.....There are some stones better left untouched or unturned because they didn't have toilet paper back then.
