  Yes, Lebron was 4-14 against AI in game 1. On the last play of regulation, AI cut him off and made him take a tough shot, and Green was sitting in the paint waiting to come help either way. People like Skip Bayless say,"just put your head down and get fouled!" How many times does he drive and get fouled with a no call? All the time, it's not that easy. Sometimes you have to give the defense credit.

  Didn't Lebron score 44 points? If that's defended well, what is not defended well, 85 points?

  I have no complaints with the last play. But I thought he did a good job of muscling AI around (which he could do to just about anyone) to get some good looks. AI also committed a few shooting fouls on him as well.

  Nobody is saying Lebron is unstoppable on every possession. There are 10 years of evidence of that. The issue was he took a low percentage shot (how many deep shots has he made in the playoffs? not many), when he could have taken his chances at the basket (with a wide open lane) and maybe draw a foul with the team in bonus. The shot just made no sense.

  This.

  Except that the lane wasn't wide open, Iggy cut him off and help was waiting, the defense forced him into the shot they wanted him to take, and he missed it.

  Starts at the 4m mark. He could've got around Iggy, or even cross over and go back to his right, Iggy over played him going to the left. And yes, his path to the basket was wide open, Green shows, but, he stays in the restricted area, and had LBJ drove he could've got a better look than the fadeway he took.

  At no point did he have a step on AI, he cut him off and made him take a fall away jumper. Why do people think you can just get to wherever you want on the court when you want? There is a reason they play defense.

  Everybody SHUT THE FUCK UP. Rob is here to let everyone know he played bball and nobody else has. This debate is over.

  LBJ initially has a stop on him see 4:06 mark in video I posted, Iggy, is playing him shaded to his right side, LBJ clearly has a step to take it to his left. It's been well known he doesn't like to drive with this left, and primarily shoots jumpers when he does.
  
  Was good defense by Iggy, cutting off LBJ to the right, but LBJ could've gotten by him to the left, but he routinely, will settle for jumpers when his right hand is cut off.
  
  I'm not gonna argue the point further, as its game night, and time to focus on how we rebound.

  Pretty good odds, Cleveland +265 tonight. Worth it? I mean, if they have any shot in the series, it's gotta be a W tonight, IMO.

  Klay is literally raping delly. Finally call the foul

  LOL at that charge call on Moz. I hope we get that home cooking in Cleveland.

  Van Gundy feels like he has to make an opinion on every foul call. Just STFU

  The Cavs offense is downright bad. LeBron is literally going to need to score 50 PPG or this is a sweep.
