But MB can't make Bron play like he is capable of playing. That is 100% on Bron.

Mike Brown needs to tell LeBron that the team follows his lead...like game three. It doesn't matter whether he goes 9-11...just that he is taking the shots...draw shit away....relieve pressure.

Any moron coach can emphasize that.

I don't disagree with this.....BUT he is a professional athlete and the MVP of the League. If he needs to be told this than there are more problems than anyone thinks.

If the Cavs lose this series it won't fall on LeBron...it will fall on Brown for not making this point clear.

As it should.

Bye Bye Lebron. I cant wait to root for you and your new team next season. The smartest thing you can do for your career is to get out of that cesspool.

I haven't read every single post here, but I have a couple specific questions for Cavs fans.

1. Why would leaving Cleveland "tarnish his legacy"? What legacy are we talking about? I get that it might hurt Clevelanders' feelings, but Lebron's legacy is simple:

Win titles = discussed as potentially the greatest of all time
No titles = recognized as a great player, but nowhere near talk about being THE greatest

To the rest of the world, it doesn't matter where he wins as long as he does it.

2. When does the excuse about not having the supporting cast end?

They've been to the finals once and had the best record two years in a row...in a five year span. If that run ends with zero championships, how can it not affect Lebron's status when compared to other greats? Clearly, these teams have been ready to make the run. They just haven't gotten the job done.

Just to be sure, I do realize two things - 1) This series is not over - certainly the Cavs could pull it out and go on to a title and that changes all the press that Lebron is getting right now and 2) Lebron has many years ahead to change the current perception.

Now I'm done!
