Agreed. Though he needs to make smarter decisions instead of contested layups or 3's with a couple seconds to go on the shot clock.Sonofanump;1730266 wrote:1) I'm actually ok with milking the clock iso up 18 in the 4th.

You don't start milking the clock until there is 3-4 minutes to go, its too easy for teams like Atlanta, GSW, House, LAC, etc. To come back in short spurts. Also if you're gonna milk it, do it within the confines of the offense so you can still get a good shot off. Going full on Iso lebron for 6+ minutes gets the whole team in a funkSonofanump;1730266 wrote:1) I'm actually ok with milking the clock iso up 18 in the 4th.

Agree with all of this. Keep the ball moving. As long as Lebron recognizes what he did and corrects it, I'm cool with it.gport_tennis;1730268 wrote:You don't start milking the clock until there is 3-4 minutes to go, its too easy for teams like Atlanta, GSW, House, LAC, etc. To come back in short spurts.

I agree with it with less than 4 minutes left. NOT at the 7:30 mark. That's way too long. The cavs built that lead with lbj getting his rest, then he came in and stopped rhe offense.Sonofanump;1730266 wrote:1) I'm actually ok with milking the clock iso up 18 in the 4th.

The whole team was iso. It didn't matter if it was JR, Lebron, whoever. There was no trace of offensive flow for the last 6:30 minutes.gport_tennis;1730268 wrote: Also if you're gonna milk it, do it within the confines of the offense so you can still get a good shot off.

I want to say we can't win if that happens, but...we just did. It's still playing with too much fire for my taste. Run the damn offense with 6 minutes left. Go into iso/kill clock mode with 3 minutes left. -

Why don't you try READING you little fucking pothead asshole? Most people are agreeing with the premise. They aren't a fan of Lebron going into iso mode with that much time in the game.DeyDurkie5;1730390 wrote:BRSPN strikes again
I agree with COA. Either contribute something of value or climb back into your hole. You're like that dude in the old ESPN commercial from the 80's where the guy is in the bar watching the game and yells Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With your Best Shot." The whole bar laughs so every time there's a nice hit he yells it again, thinking he's going to get a laugh but the bar just groans and rolls it's eyes. The "BRSPN" was cute the first time. Now it's a bit stale. -

I think BRSPN is funny. I also think it's funny that BR is telling other people to go back into a hole, considering you were supposed to be gone from this site but couldn't stay in that hole.
But most importantly, I think it's annoying that we are all taking shots at each other. This isn't the offseason where nothing is going on. This isn't the tail end of a miserable Browns season. We are SEVEN games away from winning the first championship in Cleveland in most of our lifetimes, and we are taking shots at each other. Smh just cheer on the Cavs and enjoy the ride.

You (specifically) have no one to blame for this but yourself. I was fine being away from here but instead of "talking sports" (hypocrite) you had to take potshots/digs at me when I was gone. I was informed by someone on Facebook so I returned.SportsAndLady;1730405 wrote:I also think it's funny that BR is telling other people to go back into a hole, considering you were supposed to be gone from this site but couldn't stay in that hole. -

Why did you decide to respond to that part and not the important part of the post, the part that says: everybody just STFU and lets enjoy what's happening?BR1986FB;1730411 wrote:You (specifically) have no one to blame for this but yourself.

Who gives a shit dude. You pouted and left. We weren't going to be singing your praises when you were gone, we were gonna be taking shots. But none of that matters now.
Shit, we still take shots at SQ and Crynasty. -

You truly are a fucking idiot to post this onsense. One last time...Delly is the second best 3 point shooter on the team. Anyone can have a bad night shooting. Jesus Lord you are one dumb son of a bitch.like_that;1730175 wrote:Also, it seemed like the Hawks were content with letting delly take wide open 3 pointers. He had a whopping 0 points, can idiots like FW settle down about him now? Anyway, if they keep doing that, and delly hits his shots, the game will be a blow out. -

I watched the presser and yeah LeBron did admit to the iso being really bad basketball...which it is. There's a time to kneel on the ball but not with 8 minutes to go.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730248 wrote:Watch LeBron's post-game press conference. He admitted it was too much iso and that he needs to do a better job of moving the basketball, and vowed to do much better in game 2. Yes, it was a problem, but at least he's also agreeing and saying that he recognized that it's a problem. Hopefully, he makes the change and we drop the hammer in game 2. -

Having Irving on the bench had nothing to do with LeBron playing ISO for 8 minutes.Sonofanump;1730266 wrote:1) I'm actually ok with milking the clock iso up 18 in the 4th.

Exactly. S & L with yet another stupid point. JR probably won't hit 8 out of 12 from distance but Delly, JJ and Shump won't go 1 for 11 either..or whatever they were collectively.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730249 wrote:We're also not going to be 0-fer for the rest of the bench. I'm not guaranteeing a sweep, mainly because I think Carroll is completely fine, but I'm comfortable with us resting Kyrie, and that should say something. -

Kyrie didn't participate in shootaround and is questionable for Game 2. I'm on the "sit him" bandwagon. Anyone else? -

I think people who are comfortable with doing this are way too over confident about this series after just one game.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730428 wrote:Kyrie didn't participate in shootaround and is questionable for Game 2. I'm on the "sit him" bandwagon. Anyone else?
