First the build up and hype was blamed for lebrons poor play
Then Kyrie.

Blatt and love on deck.



You don't play with lebron. You play for lebron.


Nailed it Dub , I wish a member of the Heat said that so all held could break loose...the internet would spontaneously combust :lol:

And Bron going to 4 straight finals has nothing to do with if he's declining or not, if anything he's probly tired as ****....that's a lotta basketball and intense playoff basketball at that.

That's a physical and mental toll none of us could begin to fathom.

It's early but I don't see any passion, hunger, or determination from dude...just like his first year in Miami he's probly like damn I though it would be easy.
 
Wow those Celtics jerseys are terrible.

Everybody betting on the Lakers seasons now
 
OK so we've only seen Bron play a few games so far this season, but it's fair to say that he has been underwhelming at the least. What we excused as first night jitters has turned into a few straight up bad games, leading one fellow redditor to liken his play to that of a potato.
So what is it? Nerves? Pressure? Injury? A gradual decline due to age? Tanking to get Cleveland another #1 draft pick?
I don't think it's any of these things. This off-season, we've seen LeBron drop a fair amount of weight that has been credited by some to a low-carb diet. But what if LeBron's weight loss and his resulting dip in form is the result of something far more cynical? What if he has stopped using performance enhancing drugs?
Stay with me. Adam Silver took over as commissioner following David Stern's 30 year tenure as Commissioner. Stern never led a full-out war on steroid use that we have seen in baseball or athletics over the past few years. It is very possible that he turned a blind eye to steroid usage in the NBA so as to provide a better spectacle, and a steroid scandal would have ruined his image as a Commissioner.
Adam Silver's short tenure has been marked by his strong and impressive responses to potentially image-harming scandals in the NBA. His legacy would only be enhanced if he lead a war on performance enhancing drugs from the early stages of his tenure. What if Silver informed the players of his determination to do this down the line? What if he specifically told LeBron, the league's marquee player, to make 100% sure he was clean as he was about to become the most tested athlete in sports, so as to avoid a scandal that could potentially eclipse both Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrongs' respective falls from grace?
What if I'm high and all this is *******t?
I'm 95% sure it's the latter, but I love me a good conspiracy theory. Pick apart my argument young bloods....

Hmmm... I find you're ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
 
 
Not serious are you?
Chicago dodged a bullet because Melo can't figure out how to play in the triangle after just 5 games?
Completely serious. Stripping the team for him would have done more bad than good. 

Bulls would have no depth if they got rid of Taj, Jimmy, and Mirotic. 

The triangle is to blame for him shooting 24% last night?
