    That's not really what I saw. His layups and close shots started falling short late in the game like maybe he was a little gassed. He's still human after all. Anyway I'm not going to criticize a guy for generating solid shots for his teammates. And the one hole in Lebron's game is that he is not a particularly reliable free throw shooter, and that's even IF he gets the call - so I can understand him thinking a good shot for a guy like Korver is a solid decision to make in that spot. LeBron has always been more Magic than Jordan, as great as a scorer as Lebron is, distributing and creating shots for others is his game. He played lights out and made good decisions. They just lost to a better team. It happens.

    I actually thought Love played a really solid game despite his shot being off. He put in some good work, passing, getting steals, rebounding like crazy... he just didn't have the stroke.

    And yeah KD makes a huge difference but let's not act like Steph and Klay aren't able to be 'clutch' on their own. One bad game 7 by Steph last year doesn't erase that.

    Steph is out rebounding Tristan Thompson and doing Steph things off the dribble. KD will probably be MVP because the narrative is shaping up for him to win the award and because he hit the big shots in game 3, but Steph has been every bit the same player he was when he was healthy and winning a unanimous regular season MVP award.

    Crystal Ball moment....Remember where you heard this first...

    Cavs will trade Kevin Love to Celtics for Crowder, Bradley, Zeller and the 2018 Brooklyn pick.

    The Cavs will then trade Thompson, Shump, and whoever is necessary to make the salaries work to bring Melo to Cleveland. And they'll resign Bogut.

    The Cavs will be doing enough to make it back to the ECF, but also cleansing their cap and restocking draft assets to reboot when Melo and Lebron both leave to go out west to the Clippers.

    A small ball lineup of Irving, Bradley, Crowder, Melo, and Lebron will lose to a Celtics team starting Thomas, Smart, Hayward, Love, and Horford.

    melo to the cavs is a given and should have been done this season.......

    All the talking heads are saying lebron will leave after next season because he would have filled his promise to bring a title to Cleveland...

    I cant see lebron going to the west to try and win another title unless its to a loaded team.....cp3, lebron and mello will not be able to handle the west.....hell, our pelicans will take them out imo......lebron is staying in the east where its easy for him....

    Those guys will all be 33+ and have made more money than God in summer of 2018. They won't be worried about their basketball legacies, IMO, it will be all about doing those priceless things they can't buy with money, like finishing their careers together. This will be about winning at the game of life and making moves that will elevate them in their next stages of life. Plus it will be fun for fans to watch and see whether the best group of old guys ever assembled can beat the young guys.

    That would be a really fun ECF to watch, though I doubt Smart would start over Jaylen Brown in that scenario.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    Can't forget FultZ! Btw can this thread die already? Who the hell wants Melo on this team like seriously? So much more to talk about right now like the NBA draft, summer league, AD on Jimmy kemmel, yet this dumb thread keeps getting responses. I just don't get you guys interests in a washed up player like Mello
