No i don't have a problem with those other great teams getting better by trades. It's fine to. My point is if you are building a narrative of "going home" "for cleveland" .. " to get one for the city" but at the same time playing coach and GM, you're not a team player but at risk of being a tyrant. I'm saying be clear about your intentions .. either you're taking your team to the finals as is, or you're inviting criticism for your decision making off the court. That's all. It's not disobedience. And what's a ring worth as a player, if you don't work with the rooster you're given but build one to your choosing? Why couldn't he have just gone to a great team to get more rings instead of a medicore one and getting none? Assumption is that he has that influence. Maybe he doesn't and you're right by your assumption. Who knows until the books come out later lol.

Game 3:

btw.. home court advantage = wtf? GSW getting killed right now. I don't suspect they will be blown out by the end of this game, but the way it's looking right now.. heh.

Sure the team they built during these two years doesn't seem like the best built team to win titles. It's still a damn good team, and no I don't think ANY team plus Lebron makes it out the east.  But Lebron has not always had this much influence and he spent almost a decade as young Lebron on the Cavs when he obviously had far less influence over decisions and they were HORRIBLE at putting together a good team.  The 2007 team he led to the finals was probably the worst supporting cast ever to make it to the finals. 

So, the point is that maybe Lebron the GM isn't the best GM in the league.  But he sure seems as good or better than the management the Cavs actually have.  In Miami he certainly had a role in the team building but the competent management of Pat Riley who listened to him to some degree was clearly better at putting a team together and they won titles.   You can't be mad at Lebron for having too much influence putting together a team that isn't quite good enough unless you compare the alternative... From what we know the alternative (Cavs management) is pretty terrible.  A lot of your posts are filled with assumptions that sorry to say I think come from a weird place of anger for Lebron for being disobedient...  Do you know what plans were or exactly what as said?  For all we know Dan Gilbert planned to trade Kyrie Irving and Andrew Wiggins for Carmelo Anthony to make the unstoppable punch of Lebron and Melo... Then Lebron came and said "uhhhh hold on DG... Let's think of an alternative".  If that's the case then Lebron deserves credit rather than scorn.  Of course we don't know what the case is so why don't we stick to giving management credit or blame for the decisions that are ultimately there's and judge Lebron by what he does with the team they put around him?

This is such a good point.. Prior to Lebron leaving, that org could not put a team together to save their life. They relied on their luck to be able to pick Lebron in the first place, then squandered year after year putting everything on his back.. and yet Lebron still managed to get them to the finals vs the Dynasty-Spurs. Meanwhile at basically the same time, the Spurs built a Juggernaut behind Duncan. Lebron's early years are him putting literally everything on his own shoulders. Needless to say, that's alot to ask of some phenom coming right out of h.s..

If Lebron really is the "undercover-boss" (GM) for Cleveland, then man-o-man he's done a solid job so far. How many first year GM's or coaches, get to the finals two straight years?  :ninja: In fact, if what some people say about Lebron is true, i'd like to see him eventually get MVP, a title, coach of the year, and GM of the year all in one season... beast.

Maybe the most important observation of the game so far is why Imani?? that hair dohh!!

Highlight real Kyrie is what I expected/ hoped for. He should be going 30+ every game with how talented he is!!

Man... Klay Thompson this year >>> Klay Thompson last year. 

His improvement is really impressive.  He was a good shooter but that's about it when he came into the league...

I'm at work right now so I can't watch the game but I'm stoked that Cavs are winning. Hopefully they can get a big win and gain some confidence.

has there ever been a playoffs with this many blowouts by the team that ended up losing the series?
