any of you follow Irving?  i do not so i'm curious...  his shot selection during iso seems pretty poor to me.  in couple of the clips above he should've pass to the cutting team mate.  is he being selfish or is his court vision that poor?  has he improve over the years or remain the same?

he has been an awful custodian of his talent and legend. A better man would have more results to show.

i couldn't have put it any better.  to me his ego really got him good, which might not be all his fault since all the hype he received and huge endorsements at such a young age.  some argue he turn out pretty good but like you said, could/should have been better.  a lot better.  but his ego never subsided over the years, in that aspect i think he never learned to be truly humble.  yeah he claims to be but it's an act.  with his athletic performance seeming fading pretty fast if he don't make his mid range jumper more solid and add some real footwork improvements the sun is setting quick.  footwork is simply practice until second nature and you'll certainly know yourself if you did it wrong when you travelled.  when he can say it with a straight face "i don't travel".  what does that say about him?

another thing i heard and fully agree with since returning to CLE is LBJ "player" is doing well, but LBJ "GM", and LBJ "coach" has been disaster...  he should let other people do their jobs.

to me CLE's biggest mistake was the both the timing and firing of coach Blatt.  he did a good job and yet CLE didn't show him much respect.  i don't buy it one bit LBJ had nothing to do with the firing.  LBJ's on court disrespect for Blatt was clearly on display.  get the team to the Finals and fired when the team is at 30-11?  SMH.

hmm, LBJ's defensive body language is not looking good.  the effort seems poor and he seem to have lost a bit of speed and hop.  CLE are not very good at switching defense.  lot of poor communication.  and Irving and Love are out right poor defenders.

overall CLE doesn't look cohesive on offense or defense.  seems like they have lot of internal problems...  just for the heck of it i'm predicting a double digit win by GSW in game 3 with splash bro going for 50+ combined.  115-92.

it's pretty hard to see CLE having any chance...  GSW can easily match any points production of CLE and turn it up few notches for just few minutes and easily pull away.  can't really see the reverse for CLE, maybe once in a long while.  thus there is no way for this rendition of CLE winning 4 games against current GSW.  GSW has a strong chance of sweeping CLE clean this year, that  would please me the most.  and a fitting ending of this very special year.

 :trollface:

but damn if CLE can't even win one game at home it'll be pretty sad and CLE will be truly exposed.  East is weak and has been for some times...  CLE can't even seem to challenge GSW at all, not after losing 7 straight to GSW.  unlike OKC who always poses a threat and the battle with GSW are always exciting.  psychologically CLE might be just done...  out matched, out played, out coached, out defended, out team worked.

game 1 q1 just finished.  at a glance it's fairly easy to see CLE isn't a huge match up problem for GSW like OKC was.  i think it'll be GSW in 6 or less.  GSW just have too much firepower and too deep of bench for CLE.  Triston Thompson is one of the most over paid dude in NBA.  dude has no offense.  and why?  because apparently he's LBJ's buddy...

i'm glad CLE is well rested and at full strength.  after GSW kick their butt again this year CLE will have zero excuses and GSW will have finished a truly legendary year.

what are you talking about man?!  i get it, you love lbj.  i said i don't like his style and i never will.  end of story.  i never said he was a bad person or anything like that.  i've only talked about his bball game.  you seem to take it on a personal level.  *shrug*.  and my love for the game is greater than lbj's because i said so.  ha.  i know my freethrow is way better than his.  that's for sure.  take that.

 :trollface:

i had high hopes of kd and wr in 2012 and 2013 but they also really haven't grown.  that's probably the most amazing thing about gsw is their growth individually (klay, steph, draymond) and collectively as a team.  each year you can clearly see them making improvements.  as a nba pro you get paid big bucks to play a really fun game that is deep and super dynamic.  how can you not like it?!  it's arguably the dream job for many.

kobe, mj, i love many aspects of their game.  the fadeaway (which i do very well), the footwork, both i can copy and learn.  lbj's game?  nope i'm not gifted i can't imitated his game at all except maybe his passing game.  i'm a great passer.  and his awesome ability to travel?  i can't imitate that unless i try really really hard.

ps, i know lbj doesn't bust his ass working on his game because if he did, it would show.

my disdain for lbj is purely from the way he approaches bball.  he is very powerful and athletic but just don't have a whole lot of finesse.  the way he moves isn't as appealing as other players to me (probably just matter of personal taste).  if he truly loves the game of bball he would be balling all day everyday and making himself a better player.  i'm 42 and i still improve my game each year, if little by little...  if he wasn't so egotistic then i wouldn't hate him, he'd just be another nba star to me.

and i absolutely hate floppers.  i look down upon all floppers.

look at his hilariously bad footwork.  and the blind ass refs don't even call it when they're right in front of it...

lbj's huge ego (calling himself the king, the decision, calling himself the best player last year when he clearly wasn't anymore), the flopping, acting, and the lack of notable improvement in skills over the years.  his shitty footwork, tons of non-called insane travels...  he is elite i'll agree but i just don't like him.  never did, never will.

he simply hasn't grown that much (skill wise) he's the same every year.  i don't like his game one bit.

i can't stand lbj.  never liked him one bit all this time.  gsw all the way.  :)  plus they're my home team afterall...  sfbay.  btw you guys should check out papa greg's sound clip after game 5 (linked below).  he predicted the outcome.  team work + skills > hero ball.  westbrook is a bit too reckless.  he's gotten better over the years but not by much.  he still relies too much on his athletic prowess.  he should learn to slow down...

i went ahead and got #2 and #3 to try.  price difference is not huge between the 3...  i've been sweating so much between lifting, bball, and yoga.  some days doing all 3...  4-6 liter of water i needed to drink.  i guess i might need to think about taking vitamin supplements again.  in the last 3 days i'm always feeling hungry 2-3 hours after a solid meal.  i probably need to start tracking my diet in more details including macros and micros soon to better gauge where i'm really at.
