Cleveland Cavalier 2017-2018 Season

LBJ is gassed. Even Lue said it after the game. I'm just hoping his mindset was "screw this, nobody else is showing up so I'll conserve my energy for game 6 & 7." Didn't have an issue with him being tired after game 7 of the Indy series but he's got at least one more game left in this series with only a day to rest.

The pathetic part about last night is that the Cavs got beat by a team that shot 36% from the field. Kind of gives you a feel for the turds he's (Lebron) playing with.

big time--he looked like a whipped puppy last night

There must have been 5 or 6 plays where Lebron stopped to jaw at the refs while the Celtics took the ball up the court and scored. Either gassed or really dumb non-defense.

If he is gassed (for sure), who is going to blame him? The dude has probably played the equivalent of 18-19 seasons between preseason, regular season, playoffs and the Olympics since he's become a pro. Not to mention he gets more of the "Hack A Shaq" rules when it comes to fouls than the Jordan Rules so there's even more wear & tear. Also add in he's pretty much a one man band with limited to no support. The fact that he can still do it at such a high level is amazing.

My comments on his being gassed are no slight on his excellence. It's his damn supporting group that won't give him a break so he can be more effective. At some point, something's got to give.

Imagine Brad Stevens coaching LeBron. 2 titles, at least, in Cleveland this go round.

Maybe the Cavs could do a sign and trade. LeBron to the Celtics, Irving to the Spurs and Leonard to the Cavs. The Cavs could also offer to pay half of RJ's salary and throw in a draft pick if someone would just take him. :D

Last time I went out of the country during the Cavs playoff run, they were down 2-1 to GSW and came back to win in 7. I fully expect them to win it all, since I just got to France yesterday.

Also, Tribe started a 10-0 run that year...2-0 this year...lol

Nice humble-brag, Laley.

Isn’t this the “crowning achievement” thread????

I've seen absolutely no one make that prediction. 

Looks like Laley did. 

Well, what's going to happen tonight?

Cavs win by double digits...LBJ goes for 43,14,10 in his last home game in a Cavs uniform

Kevin Love has gotta be the softest player I’ve ever seen. It’s elimination game you puss. 

This may be the worst 7 game series I’ve ever watched. Home team just annhiliating the visitors in each game

Yeah!  Get your concussed ass back in the game!  Fight through it, pussy!

Hey Lue, Green was having a great game.  Great idea to keep JR in for 34 minutes!!

JR Smith has blackmail on Lue. That’s all I can think of. He caught him cheating on his wife or something.

NBA refs are the worst of all professional refs.  And I blame the league for their suck-assed-ness more than I blame the refs.

That is the worst fucking call I’ve ever seen

Lebron James is the year's NBA MVP.  The only reason he won't receive it is b/c he is expected to be super-human, and that's a travesty.  Normal guys achieve his every day status, and they are rewarded.

Should easily be mvp. I hated him for leaving but am now leaning towards him better than Jordan. He’s insane, regardless of game 7. I hope they can take it tho

Lebron is the greatest to ever do it. Wherever he plays, for however long he plays, I’m just happy to get to see it. He’s had enough “moments” to fill several careers, at this point.
