Surely it’s LeBroom?

I’ve switched over to the footy. Steph get finals mvp?

wezza · June 9, 2018, 3:51am

KD.

It’s weird. We’ve mostly seen Cavs/Lebron highlights in the post-match and all the discussion is about Lebron’s free-agency.

Seen about 20 seconds of locker room celebrations.

Riolio · June 9, 2018, 4:14am

That sounds a lot more interesting.

RockyIV · June 9, 2018, 4:15am

Shows the level of interest even the media had in the series.

Wrighty05 · June 9, 2018, 6:24am

So the word is Lebron punched a blackboard and broke his hand after game 1.

RockyIV · June 9, 2018, 6:46am

Probably pretending it was Ken Mauer’s face.

LeBron James played the last three games of this series with a significantly injured right hand, a hand that he injured punching a blackboard in the locker room at Golden State after Game 1. He’s had two MRIs to determine the severity. It has been determined a hand contusion, but he’s dealing with a lot of swelling and a little bit of stiffness in his hand. He’s been wearing a soft cast when he’s been away from the basketball court. Even at press conferences, he’s hidden his hand inside his jacket as he’s been wearing a soft cast. It’s not something he’s wanted out there. It’s not something he’s using as an excuse. It’s something that definitely was a factor.

Which is why he’s back in Cleveland.

Aceman · June 9, 2018, 7:17am

And outta there as soon as they can’t win it

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · June 9, 2018, 7:25am

In Cleveland… for the 11th season of his career. With the obvious cast of superstars like…

RockyIV · June 9, 2018, 7:36am

He went there to win them a championship and done that.

He can’t go to any team right now with the line ups they have and beat GSW. The NBA is Warriors for as long as they want it.

barry_day · June 9, 2018, 7:39am

CP3 doesn’t get injured for games 6 & 7 in the west and the Rockets progress and deal with the Cavs in equally emphatic fashion.

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · June 9, 2018, 7:53am

Yeah, I dunno.

GSW are two MVP level superstars, one almost-superstar and a gun defender. And some other dudes.

Add LBJ to any of the 45+ win teams with a couple of established stars - ie most of them except the Pacers - and they’re an instant contender IMO.

Just like CP3 to Houston took them from good to a contender

swoodley · June 9, 2018, 8:01am

If you go down that path, then you might as well put a fit Iguodala back into The Warriors and the result is a Warriors win

RockyIV · June 9, 2018, 8:06am

Did Warriors lose a game that Iguodala didn’t play in?

andrewb · June 9, 2018, 8:10am

Can’t remember one.

He adds so much to that team, particularly on defense.
