[StrongLurk]

This Cavs team is super scrappy.

Of course Kevin Love is injured again, what's new?

[Nike D'Antoni]

Cavs with 6 offensive rebounds and it's keeping them in the game

[Manny98]

GOAT going for 40 tonight

[Manny98]

[jmcwilliams]

Caruso had his head at the rim with that block attempt. lookin like bron.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Fixed

Its Lebron James vs Drummond till now

[LAmbruh]

Ledaddy’s homecoming is always special

[StrongLurk]

Is it just me or does Schroeder look not happy taking a backseat to Lebron when they are on the court? Dennis is a very solid player but I have noticed that he seems to kind of pout and look annoyed when Lebron takes over the offense. Lebron waved him off on the last play to spread the floor and Dennis looked really annoyed, Lebron then drove to the basket and dunked and Dennis didn't even react.

It always confuses me when role players, even good role players, have egos big enough to think they are superstars. I like Dennis and I hope I'm reading it wrong, but he's gotta accept that he is behind Lebron no matter what.

[Nike D'Antoni]

LeBron at the half: 23 points (9/10, 4/5 from 3), 7 rebounds, and 4 assists

His one miss was the retarded heat check. In fact, I don't think he's had any reasonable "heat-checks" since the actually Miami Heat days. Nowadays he throws up the lowest IQ, retarded jump shot he can attempt when he makes a few jumpers in a row...I mean why shoot a shot that you have like a 2% chance of making?

He can get traded if he keeps on pouting

[SATAN]

Good hustle by Gasol

[Manny98]

Has Lebron even missed tonight

Such a GOAT

[Nike D'Antoni]

Good hustle by Gasol

Drummond is dominating him easy

[StrongLurk]

This Cavs team is really interesting, especially with their new players from the Nets.

Also never thought Sexton would be this good.

[SATAN]

Has Lebron even missed tonight

Such a GOAT

10-12. 4-6 from 3.

Schroeder dribbling the air out of the basketball :facepalm

Wiltesque

[Manny98]

Cavs don't have a decent playmaker to feed Allen inside

Sexton can score but he has tunnel vision

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers playing with frustration. They are throwing the game if they don't cool off.

[StrongLurk]

Lakers playing dumb as hell this quarter and bricking threes all game.

[Manny98]

McGee is going to make an impact when he joins us

[Proctor]

McGee :roll:

[StrongLurk]

Bron with a horrible 3rd quarter as well.

[BigShotBob]

AD has been dreadful lately

[bobopenguin]

wtf lebron??

[Indian guy]

LeBron has looked every bit the 36 year old he is this season. 0 ability to penetrate in the half-court. Lives and dies by the jumper.

Impressed by how hard this Cleveland team plays. Lakers haven't been able to match their energy at all.

[Manny98]

Baaaaaaaa!

[Nike D'Antoni]

McGee :roll:

[SATAN]

Imagine if LeBron actually tried his hardest every game

[LoneyROY7]

LeBron 18th SZN James.

[Indian guy]

Is AD hurt? Looks like he's going to fall down any time he has the ball. He was never fluid but not this clumsy either. Worst I've seen him look in a Lakers uni.

[StrongLurk]

This game just feels like a Cavs game winner coming in.

[Nike D'Antoni]

That 2 rim protector lineup is annoying the Lakers.
Mcgee/Drummond or Allen/Drummond

[LoneyROY7]

AD been going like 70 percent all season lol.

[TheGoatest]

AD should've saved some of those meaningless overkill buckets from the Bulls game for tonight.

[Indian guy]

OMG this doesn't need to be reviewed. Inadvertent contact. Move on with the game, please.

[RRR3]

The **** is wrong with AD this year?

Awh shiet. 41 points for King James.

Can't believe some of these 3's LeBron's making this season :facepalm :oldlol:

:bowdown:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron in god mode now

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron should have contested that Okoro shot, after a good sequence of defense by his teammates

[Im Still Ballin]

LeOMG with 44!

Bump

[LoneyROY7]

2ez.

[SATAN]

Unreal

[Nike D'Antoni]

This is crazy.

[Kingwillball]

Another example of Lakers needing another big by deadline. Gasol getting dominated by Drummond and after him they get extremely small.

[Im Still Ballin]

LeBron must've been mega-dosing the zinc, because he's shooting ropey loads all over Cleveland like he's Peter North.

[BigShotBob]

That turnaround Lebron made was sick.

[ArbitraryWater]

damn Bron punking Cedi


"miss oneeee"
*misses
"yea thats my guyy"



:biggums:

[LoneyROY7]

AD coasting hard lmao.

[StrongLurk]

Another example of Lakers needing another big by deadline. Gasol getting dominated by Drummond and after him they get extremely small.

Very true, losing Dwight AND McGee is a very underrated loss for the Lakers. Harrell is good on offense, but he can't do anything on defense against True bigs and Gasol is very foul prone.

[bobopenguin]

wow, lebron showed everyone he got the biggest d*ck on court tonight.

[Nike D'Antoni]

LeBron James in a win against the Cavaliers: 46 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists.

[TheGoatest]

I am really concerned with AD's suckage this season. It's been going on for way too long now. After winning his 1st ring last year, he doesn't seem as hungry. Previous game against the Bulls, which the Lakers would've won with or without him aside, he's had a Chris Bosh 2014 NBA Finals vibe about him.

[Nike D'Antoni]

LeBron outscored the Cavs 23-19 in the fourth quarter.

[J Shuttlesworth]

LeGOAT proving once again he's MVP

[MaxPlayer]

Meh, they match up great with the Clippers and Nets, who are the only real threats in the playoffs.
