Lebron not settling for jumpers and relentlessly attacking the paint = scary.

Yup. Toronto should sag off on him.

Agreed. Every team should imo. If he is hitting the outside shot then you are simply screwed. But that is the correct way to defend him. Easier said than done though. He is a bull. And he can post you up. I felt bad for carroll trying to defend him in the post. LeBron is too big and strong.

who's the best in the league at defending LBJ one on one ?

Probably draymond. He has the size and agility and attitude and tenacity.

 

[MVP]

Actually James Johnson could do a decent job as well, but he is in Casey's deep doghouse and not getting much of the chance to try.

 

[Miggs]

Or Kawhi maybe?

I thought about putting him down and I think he would be about as good as anyone not named draymond but bron would probably back him down and bully him.

LeBron is such a rare combination of size, strength, speed, and athleticism that he is really a mismatch for every player in the game.
He is so physically unique. I can't think of another player in history comparable to him physically.

I guess if I think of all time players to guard him I would probably choose rodman. Of current players draymond is the only one that I can see giving him any trouble.

LeBron is shooting 69% from the field in the ECF.

Just lmao

 

[Hekate]

Man, what a block. Too bad Lebron cried about it.

Toronto won every game Derozan scored over 25.

The Cavs are NOT going to beat the Warriors in a 7 game series....they just don't have the shooters GS has to win 4 games. They'll win maybe 2, just like last year, but even though the Cavs got better this year, so did the Warriors!

If the Cavs keep shooting like they have in the playoffs so far the have plenty of shooters to keep up and win.

Yeah, I see the Cavs beating OKC, but I'm not sure they can beat GS. It would be a great series though.

Go Toronto!!

 

[addictionary]

Damn. Gonna be a hell of a game imo.

 

[carolinajazz]

....yeah, Irving 3-19 was a sure vote of confidence that the Cavs can keep up with the Warriors!

This. With the top 4 teams (warriors, cavs, thunder, spurs) anything is possible when they play each other.

I think the warriors are the best team still and the cavs second. And anything can happen when steph and lebron are involved. (Top 2 players imo)

Sometimes players have games that are not as good as other games.

 

[Hekate]

Draymond with a kick to the nuts, second this time in this series. Can't see how that's not a flagrant 2.
