Great adjustment by LeBron changing the Cavs defensive strategy..

Indiana is a 1-man team, just like the Spurs..Warriors begged anybody but Aldridge to beat them and it's been impossible on a team full of role players..LeBron deciding to do the same for the Cavs, Oladipo getting trapped on virtually every play in the half..

Difference is Indy's role players aren't old/unathletic/non-NBA players.

Eh, I don't think Love was that open because Love had a guy in front of him. There was no one guarding Clarkson. The guy that was suppose to guard Clarkson abandoned him to go after J.R. Smith very early. That Pacer defender is lucky that J.R. Smith is an idiot because Clarkson could've gotten the ball with over 2 second left.

Zero chance Lebron staying at Cleveland, win or lose..That's much clear..

Definitely think Philly have vaulted themselves seriously in his sweepstakes..People will bring the fit with Simmons; to that the answer is clear: You don't ever fuckin say no to Lebron..

There are no guarantees in this league..You got a chance at title, you got for it while it's there..

Could you imagine the damage MJ would do in today's NBA? He'd average 50.

LBJ would get laid out prancing into the lane by the likes of Oakley, Ewing, Tree Rollins, Laimbeer, Worm, Salley, etc.

That's the type of rough and rugged frontline that awaited MJ when he got by the names of players CN tweeted. And they would give his ass a forearm shiver (common foul - not flagrant like today's NBA) which made him think thrice about going to the rack.

LBJ doesn't worry about such things and still took an L by some no-name G Leaguer after being up 17 :lmao

Not doubting LBJ's skillset. Due to his defensive abilities, I'd say his overall skillset is higher than Magic's (my favorite player of all time). With his skillset he'd be a really good player but not what we see today.

What I question is his mental toughness. LBJ complained about lil dudes fouling him in today's NBA. Back then they could clothesline you and get away with it. After they pull you off the floor, you just go shoot your freebies. Remember that forearm shiver Mailman gave Zeke? Damn near killed him. How about the one he gave the Admiral? Knocked him out cold. How about Rudy T getting knocked the fuck out back in the day? It goes on and on.

All them times LBJ was on the sideline doing the cabbage patch while his team was up 20 in the 4th with 3:21 left in the game? The very next time he played that time he played that team, the 11th man on the roster would be a starter that night. He'd use all 6 of his hard fouls on LBJ. I guarantee you he won't be dancing no more after that shit. :lol

I also don't think he has the mental fortitude to deal with The Jordan Rules, per se. They used to kick MJ's ass, literally. I'm sure they'd concoct some LeBron rules too. Depending on which dance he performed on the sideline would determine his "punishment" :lol

He wouldn't survive the same shit MJ had to, despite being the best in the game. But that's just me.

And of course Bill said that. Like Zeke, he hates MJ. Take anything they say with a grain of salt tbh.

Wade was picked #5 while Ingram couldn't get into the all rookie first team in a very weak class

nicca ....i still take ingram over any other rookie in thst class and even the one before with kat and porzingis aftee what i have seen out of playoffs Towns. matter of fact not counting the loaded class of tatum and mitchell i would take ingram and his potential over kat, wiggins, randle gordon druss porzy and his bad knees etc ...problem is he aint Simmons. best prospect since Ant davis tbh ...

He destroyed the Pistons the series they lost in 7 games. Pippen used the migraine excuse in game 7. But MJ was awesome that entire series.

But I thought MJ made Pippen and willed his teammates to victory.

Context. Yes he chases down and blocks. But, show me a clip where he turned the ball over on one side of the court, then immediately got after a player going for a layup way on the other side of the court, then swatted it away. That takes a ton of energy and drive. Kobe had it. I haven't seen that with LBJ.

Remember, Kobe taught him to play defense in the 2008 Olympics. You need proof? Show me one all-defensive team LBJ made before that year (Kobe already had a couple). You can't. Even Coach K said Kobe set the tone on that team ever since their first practice. Facts.

Besides, I don't trust CIA Pop to begin with (tanking for Duncan with a top 50 player on his roster and winning, for example). If Kiwi is on the block chances are he's not right. For our 2 best young forwards? No deal.

And in any case, if teams are scared of Kawhi status, the Spurs would be better off starting the season with Kawhi on the roster and showcasing him on the floor than trading him for less value on the offseason.
