I saw tweets that he left the arena on crutches. If it is actually only a bone bruise he was being a dramatic *****.wildcats20;1730158 wrote:Saw another report that said there is a bone bruise

Also, it seemed like the Hawks were content with letting delly take wide open 3 pointers. He had a whopping 0 points, can idiots like FW settle down about him now? Anyway, if they keep doing that, and delly hits his shots, the game will be a blow out.

This was also discussed, at length, this morning on the radio. The concerns aren't without merit....

He's putting the team on his back and will continue to do so. Agreed overall that if Love/Irving were healthy it would be too much but Lebron has to play this way if the Cavs are going to win a championship.BR1986FB;1730207 wrote:This was also discussed, at length, this morning on the radio.

Korver looked like a bitch last night, but the reality is Lebron James is a big dude that most players in the league don't want to get in the way for a charge. I can't say I blame him because if he tries to take the charge he "may" get the charge call but either way he's going to get his ass knocked out.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1730199 wrote:to be fair to Korver, He obviously fell for a ball fake and is trying to avoid fouling

Nah he would have gotten a block call and a head ache.
He was no where near in position.

There's a difference between "putting the team on your back" and neutering the offense. Yes, he's the greatest player in the league but even you, a known Lebron nuthugger, should be able to see that it kills the offense when he's standing out at the arch, "killing ants" with his dribble for about 15 seconds and then hoisting an ill advised shot. This team is most effective with ball movement. It's great if he's hitting shots but his outside shooting has been shit since the Chicago series.sleeper;1730208 wrote:He's putting the team on his back and will continue to do so.

If you looked at that article, he was off the court and the scrubs had built the lead up to 18. When he came back, he didn't need to "put the team on his back." All they needed to do was continue what they were doing but he went into "eat the clock and then hoist a jumper before the shot clock expires" mode.

Don't get cocky. I'm sure bulls fans were thinking about a sweep after the first game in Cleveland last series as well. How'd that work out for them?gport_tennis;1730139 wrote:If demarre Carroll is out, sweep for sure

If Carroll is out the rest of the series (he is not) along with thabo being out, I don't think it'd surprise anybody at all if the Cavs swept. I think the Cavs would sweep due to the injury more than anything.Commander of Awesome;1730224 wrote:Don't get cocky.

Even if he does play tomorrow night, but is limited, Lebron will dice him up like a Ginsu.gport_tennis;1730232 wrote:If Carroll is out the rest of the series (he is not) along with thabo being out, I don't think it'd surprise anybody at all if the Cavs swept.

The Cavs probably won't get an 8 3-point performance like that from JR or anyone else.
Without that, they may not have won last night.
We aren't sweeping the Hawks. It'll be a competitive series.

Watch LeBron's post-game press conference. He admitted it was too much iso and that he needs to do a better job of moving the basketball, and vowed to do much better in game 2. Yes, it was a problem, but at least he's also agreeing and saying that he recognized that it's a problem. Hopefully, he makes the change and we drop the hammer in game 2.BR1986FB;1730213 wrote:There's a difference between "putting the team on your back" and neutering the offense.

We're also not going to be 0-fer for the rest of the bench. I'm not guaranteeing a sweep, mainly because I think Carroll is completely fine, but I'm comfortable with us resting Kyrie, and that should say something.SportsAndLady;1730244 wrote:The Cavs probably won't get an 8 3-point performance like that from JR or anyone else.

Yeah I agree; I'm just not worried if the best player in the league decides to put the team on his back for a stretch. We won the game so criticism is pointless.BR1986FB;1730213 wrote:There's a difference between "putting the team on your back" and neutering the offense.

1) I'm actually ok with milking the clock iso up 18 in the 4th.
2) I'd rather have a 85% Irving for game 3 than a 75% Irving for game 2.
