Put prime Kobe on this Cavaliers team and they are contenders

[BigBoss]

Fact. Lebron was a non-factor last night.

[JohnFreeman]

Bring Budadiii back. Trolling has been terrible.

[Doranku]

Even current Kobe would have the Cavs at least .500 in the lowly East. :oldlol:

Lakers are better without the current Kobe... All he does is shoot bricks :facepalm

[Artillery]

Without Phil or MVPau? Kobe would just lead the Cavs to the lottery.

[JonatanRey]

I think Irving, prime Kobe, Lebron, Love and Mozgov would be contenders, yea.

[I<3NBA]

prime Kobe missed the playoffs

[HOoopCityJones]

You're a clueless idiot.

[Mr Feeny]

Absolutely. 11-18 shooting is non-factor stuff.
Meanwhile, your boy is shooting 36%fg for the season:wtf:

Doesn't change the fact that his statement is accurate tbf.

Mhmm..

[HOoopCityJones]

When did Kobe miss the Playoffs in his prime where he wasn't hurt? :rolleyes:

[tpols]

Empty
Yup.. Cavs were getting blown out with Bron back.. Jr's third quarter where he went 6-6 from three.. Literally hit back to back to back shots at one point and was the only reason the game was close. Kyrie and Loves games predictably fell off a cliff.

Their games get marginalized playing with Lebron.

He needs all the rebounds, assts, pts and he has to be the Coach.

With Kobe, all they have to do is rebound. Simplicity is key.

They wont have to worry about that with Lebron. He'll be gone by next season. :applause:

in 10-11 years, this approach (Lebron-ball as many call it), has resulted in 5 Final appearances, 2 titles, 2 FMVP, 4 MVPs, etc.

lay that hindsight out to any coach/organization for their next 10years and tell me if they would balk on it :rolleyes: :facepalm

Obviously not working right now.


How much more of a hole do you guys need to see? :biggums:

does this "obvious" statement include the 1st part of the season where it wasn't Lebron-ball and a shoot-happy Irving/Waiters, or the 2-weeks that he's recently missed with rest/injury?

we haven't seen the Lebron-ball approach much this season (as we have in the past)...but continue to blanket your rhetoric with "obvious" idiocy :rolleyes:

Wdym? , that entire run right before he started sitting out was
Lebron ball. :biggums:

[r15mohd]

exactly my point...it's been a toss-up between Blatt's system initially, then reverting to Lebron-ball, then Lebron on rest/injury, and now back to Lebron-ball approach.

there's been about 40 games so far for the Cavs...Lebron missing 8-9 (IIRC). so basically 30 games where half was Blatt and the latter being Lebron-ball (which included the win-strak). and you blanket the season so far to "failing" Lebron-ball? :confusedshrug: :facepalm

[edrick]

So the Cavs go 1-8 without Lebron. Then lose the first game he plays after coming back, and Lebron is the problem? :roll:

Kevin Love's defense was awful, and it was the second game this season he sat out the entire 4th quarter because of his awful defense. What an amazing superstar. :rolleyes:

Prime Godbe lead a team with a Timofey Mozgov tier player as his 2nd option to back 2 back championships:roll: . No shit if you add in 26/12 and 22/6 players on top of that they're contenders. That's basically guaranteeing yourself a 4-peat given how young they are. And 5-peat isn't out of the equation.

You're dumb as hell if you believe Gasol and Mozgov are equal. lol

This is why Pau is ballin out now. Taking shit like this from our fanbase for the last 4 years.

2014-2015 LA Lakers without Kobe +3.6pts/possession

Number of teams LeBron James has played on that has ever been +1.0=
ZERO.

[Demitri98]

Yes, Irving/Kobe/LeBron/Love/Mozgov would be contenders

[STATUTORY]

Current Kobe replacing Lebron would get this team to the finals easy. East is absolute barren wasteland of basketball yet Lebron is losing 9 out of last 10 games :faceplate

They were losing before Lebron ran to Miami for "rest". You guys are delusional as ****. :biggums:

[Kvnzhangyay]

I for one would love to see prime Kobe playing alongside Lebron

[edrick]

What is the Cavs record with and without Lebron? :rolleyes: Sure, the Cavs had issues, but they weren't ****ing 1-8. lol

[HurricaneKid]

They were losing before Lebron ran to Miami for "rest". You guys are delusional as ****. :biggums:

Cavs without LeBron are -8.9 pts/100 poss. Thats worse than the Knicks.

[Dave3]

They were losing before Lebron ran to Miami for "rest". You guys are delusional as ****. :biggums:
They lost 9/10 before LeBron went down like written in that post? Man I must've missed that.

[HOoopCityJones]

The point is they were a losing Team. I don't care what the exact numbers say, what does it matter if they were already losing? That's why I always thought him sitting out would only dig the hole deeper.

I'm not gonna give Lebron credit for making a bad Team mediocre on his return. Wtf.

[r15mohd]

what does "before" mean to you, a week...10 days? well in the 10-days leading up to Lebron's rest/injury time off, they were 5-3. if 5-3 is losing to you, the only thing delusional would be your statistical interpretations :facepalm

how many fails are you looking to gain in this thread? :confusedshrug:

Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me and I can see that this type of shit will keep up til they're ousted in the first round. Then it'll be wait til next year.

ousted in the 1st round, you say...sounds like a Kobe move :lebronamazed:

[Keno]

put lebron on lakers 2005-2007 they are contenders.

Yea, he shoulda changed Teams when he had the chance, like Lebitch will do again this Summer.

Only on NBA 2k..

:oldlol:

Lebron wasn't even a real Contender with his 60 win Cavs Teams.
