    First thing I saw when I turned on the replay of last nights game was a miscommunication on defense and an easy wide open dunk for Blake...but anyone can put up 14 and 6 we don't need Al he's been disappointing all year he's washed

    Nah crawford went ham in the 3rd/4th.He was pullin up on some curry ? for real.Clippers bench put the game outta reach they went on a 42-14 run they were causing turnovers then taking off on fast breaks converting.That's what lost boston the game.

    I was pointing out how lost we look defensively without Al

    Is it ok to admit LeBron ain't the best player in the league anymore or we gotta hold that facade a lil longer

    LeBron is still the best player in the league.

    The disparity isn't as big as it once was though. Guys like KD, Westbrook, and AD are in the rear view mirror imo.

    None of them can carry a team quite like LeBron can though I can see LeBron losing a step here in the next 2 seasons or so though that athleticism is already starting to fade ever so slightly. I still don't think he'll completely fall off just yet though.

    He's not. I was just the gauging the temperature. I'll just wait til it's more apparent and we can rationally look back and say that's it's been that way (a la Kobe-LeBron)

    My eyes don't support LBJ being the best and the numbers don't either

    If you want to put the top guys in a tier, he's in there

    But LeBron just being the best player in the league, that's not a fact anymore

    I've heard several analysts claim he has the best team he's ever had and that's not a stretch

    As guys get older they start to pace themselves, the regular season is a marathon and not a sprint and LeBron isn't 25 anymore.

    LeBron kinda defers and lets Kyrie eat during these regular season games and even occasionally takes plays off but by the Eastern Conference Finals or so when competition gets a little stiffer we'll see a LeBron's A game.

    No different than what guys like Kobe and Shaq did in their primes although I still somewhat agree LeBron is on the downside of his prime.

    He had 2-3 terrible turnovers late that really hurt us but he carried us most of the game.....I think he sat too long in the 4th too though

    Those players mentioned dont have his IQ and his BALL VISION AND HEALTH.

    AD is already injury plagued and injury prone
    Westbrook wont be on his Tazmamia devil mode in three years
    KD is injury prone.

    I disagree LeBron relies a lot on his size and athleticism a little too much at times. I agree he does have good health and a high ball IQ but there are also holes in his game like a suspect jumper.

    He also defers too much to lesser guys when he's the alpha on any team he plays on.

    Sounds like a casual point of view to me

    Kyrie aint no lesser guy, he is a superstar
    Shumpert is good
    Korver is a demonic shooter
    Frye never shooks

    Lebron is the most clutch player in the NBA this year. His jumper is not the nicest but ? dayum!! Ask the Wizards bruh.

    That being said he does it at a high level for 13 years now. Hes has 6 NBA finals in a row.

    And he has taken Larry Hugues, Delonte West, Ilguaskas and Jamario Moon to the Finals by blowing the mighty Pistons.

    I m waiting to see Harden and Westbrook leading such bums into the western conference finals.

    Harden elbowed Lee in the stomach to make room which couldv'e been an offensive foul. Now NeNe got hit on the arm and had more of a reason to complain than Harden on the Rockets lsat offensive play but it is what it is.

    Yeah after looking at it again looks like a good no call on harden. Lee maybe grazed his hand but again you dont call that.
