    Default how does Lebron's lack of teammates excuse him bricking wide open

    jumpshots, if he makes a few of them all the sudden the Cavs have a chance.

    In the end it's still his lack of a holistic offensive arsenal that cost his team. He couldn't hit a shot with defenders literally daring him to shoot

    he had so little confidence that he would rather resort to posting up and backing Steph down from the 3 point line as oppose to taking an open jumper.

    The only reason his numbers were gawdy is because he was monopolizing every possession

    so then you rather him shoot when his shot isn't falling, when the right play in backing down smaller players was more rewarding?

    and the same can be said about his teammates...if they make even a marginal rate of shots, his workload and "monopolizing" isn't needed. look at the whole game instead of focusing on Lebron only, he basically tried to make up for what his teammates weren't able to do on the offensive end, which is completely outside his normal game.

    You will always go out of your way to excuse Lebron: it's ****ing pathetic .

    Yes, if Lebron could have buried a few jumpshots the Cavs would actually have had a shot at winning, but he shot like shit, and they didn't; admit the man's basketball flaws were clearly on display for all to see, as he shot unguarded 3 after unguarded 3, and - clank, clank, clank!

    the contrast was so jarring cause Curry just be stroking it casually coming off screens in motion on one end and on the other lebron is hesitating when he literally has no one in front of him, gathering his feet and squaring up all mechanically and still bricking the shot in the end

    How are you this salty about Lebron after he left our team?

    Dude, it is bball. Not a big deal. We'll be back next year with a decent team and competing.

    single coverage and he couldn't score

    that's why Cavs lost, no excuses

    Pretty much this year was like last year in Miami..... Lebron had to carry the load for the whole season.
    No man is a superman, because games takes their toll on a player.

    Kobe stated a few years ago , that playing as many post seasons as he did took the $hit out of him because his vacation time from the NBA was about 3 weeks.

    Bron has been in how many finals in a row

    Point is he was tired , and even to generate his numbers was pretty amazing.
    Banking on his teammates to accomplish a feat against a loaded team is impossible.
    Cav's played well, not very good , or great.

    When it comes down to how many finals he has been in , his age and how many more appearances will say something in his resume.

    Please tell me how many finals series Wilt played in
    At one time Wilt was considered the best player on the planet.
