Yes or No.
do you always ask everyone else to find examples for what you want to prove? If you had an argument built on anything but Strawmen and weak presuppositions I might. But for now
is all the effort I can muster up for that weak ### ####.
So you think Lebron did an admirable job in that moment of being an emotional leader preparing his team for OT. Ya?If you had an argument built on anything but Strawmen and weak presuppositions I might. But for now
Careful, short corner might throw a laughin emoji at this. Clearly it's all his teammates fault.
It's not his job to prepare his teammates mentally and emotionally. Emotionally? Seriously? Are you sure you're not getting this from the Anson Dorrance book on leadership?
Odd that you gave her a like and you have been lying most, if not all, of the blame on LBJ. I don't know whose fault it was.
I didn't ask if it was his job. I asked if he did all he could to prepare his team during that break. If pouting in his hands was the best way to motivate his team.
I'm pretty open minded when it comes to that. Lots of the loss was on Lue, on his teammates, etc. It's not all lebrons fault. Never said it was. I also can admit that lebron is the most talented basketball player I've ever watched. His accomplishments have been amazing. He's THAT good. What I said is his actions on the bench (as well as other things in his career) show me he is a very good leader. That as a leader of a team in the finals, I think it Is your responsibility to get everyone on the same page. Motivate. Encourage. Lead by example. And not look emotionally defeated which is then passed along to your teammates.
Again dodging the question and blindly putting him on a pedestal. He can do no wrong to you. He's perfect to you. He's the best leader in history and everyone should whine like he does.
Really? Everyone tonight is giving him a free pass for that moment. Saying it's not his job to motivate them in that moment.
Alright well you've proved your intelligence. And your trolling attempts. You've said nothing to defend that he screwed up in that moment.
Dude. The game was over as soon as it went to overtime. No motivational speech would have led the Cavs to an over time win on the road vs this warriors team. You are delusional.
Nothing to defend? So you agree with his actions in that moment? @Synthesizer is suggesting you aren't giving him a free pass and agree he should have handled it better.
Agreed they would have lost anyways. I still think as great of a player as he is, he should have conducted his body language better and not given up. If you want to be the best ever, you don't admit you've lost the game until it's over. I get he was frustrated. I would be too. And I wouldn't have handled it any better. But he's supposed to be better than that. I think he should have acted more mature and not let his frustrations show and rub off on his team.
I already posted what I thought but you either ignored it or were too caught up in defending your predetermined conclusion to respond.
Korver was trying to rally everyone at least.
And I have a bigger problem with everyone in the video besides Lebron and Smith....and the other coaches who I assume are huddled up 20 feet away where the huddle up normally happens. Lue also did virtually nothing upon returning to his team. It was a complete waste of time. That's not on Lebron.
Korver did some clapping when Lue returned, IIRC. I would have liked to see Kyle, Perkins, and Calderon in there as soon as they saw the tension and frustration happening. Like I said the other day, and while I have no way to prove it besides knowing the type of players and bench/locker room leaders they were, guys like RJeff, Frye and James Jones would have been in there rallying the troops.
Sooooooo, which player would be doing better right now?
Simple question. If you can't figure out what I am asking, so be it. Don't feel like spoon feeding you.
I am not sure what you are even asking for, the call in game 1, his teammates, a superstar teammate asking to be traded?
Up 2-0 is a bone bruise the kind of thing where once you can deal with discomfort you don't really benefit from additional rest, or would he be even more healed with another couple days off?
Isn't the schtick that Kerr just disregards game 3? I don't think it makes sense if they aren't pushing hard to win it in four.
no way you can put any blame on Lebron. this year I think he is in the same category as Barry Sanders. a great talent, with a sub-average team. the weight of the whole organization is on his shoulders every single F'n game. guy has to give his all, every single game, to keep the team in games. I don't know if any of us know what it is like to have to do this over and over, when you know your window is not as large as it was when he was younger. he is basically pissing away a year of his career this year.
lol, why would he not visit every team and get all he can. Celtic's fans wish, but they have no cap room that would even make any sense. they already overspent on Heyward, Kyrie, and Horford. Why in the world would Lebron go there.
OddsShark has HOU as the favorite to get LBJ as of yesterday . . .
