In game 1, Stotts' actual strategy seemed to be for his bigs to not come up/hedge on the screens. It was probably the dumbest way to defend the Warriors I've ever seen. They've changed it up in the following two games and have also basically stopped playing Kanter this game (who is essentially unplayable against their offense). [Reply]
I wonder how LeBron's teams have performed in his career without him around.
Maybe lebron should stop forcing his GMs to get shitty players and coaches? Maybe more FAs would come to his teams if he had committed to more than 1+1 contracts in Cleveland? Maybe that would help the team play better without him. Just a thought.
LeBron is the only player who "everybody would love to play with him" yet somehow always ends up with shitty teams. [Reply]

Maybe he should have if he wanted to win. But clearly he doesn't as his Lakers contract shows. Durant wants to win. LeBron wants to make movies. [Reply]
Portland's defense is laughable whenever the Warriors feel like exerting themselves even moderately. The Western Conference wasn't any good this year outside of two teams. [Reply]

LeBron is secure with his legacy at this point, Durant isn't. That's the difference. [Reply]

:-) Makes it all the more pathetic that the LeBron led Lakers couldn't even make the playoffs [Reply]
