Just cuz you can last one round longer than us is nothing to be overtly proud of.  Nobody remembers who lost in the 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs either.

Kev, if you ever wonder why as great as Lebron is, hes so hated it's this kind of response after a game that has fans hating him.

https://youtu.be/_zjegZOC4w0

"It's a feel out game for me".

So you're telling me Lebron that you never give effort in game 1's of series because you have to feel them out? How about they took it to you and we including myself need to play much better?

I could have played harder but I need to feel them out.  Yet you've seen everything  already.  That you have so why do you need to feel it out?

I'm not so sure.  Yeah, game 1 was an anomaly in that Boston played REALLY well and Cleveland played REALLY poorly.  But I feel like it is also the game where Cleveland's true lack of depth and ability outside of LeBron was exposed, and I'm not sure they overcome that.

This team really feeds off of Lebron. Every member of the LeCavs will double their effort. I know the Celts are expecting it.

I could have played harder but I need to feel them out.  Yet you've seen everything  already.  That you have so why do you need to feel it out?

That's not what he said.

He obviously means he is not going to show his hand early.  He is smart enough to realize that this will be a long series.  He is playing a long game instead of going all-in and showing all of his cards in Game 1. 

Not sure what the issue is.

And really, with the exception of Tim Duncan and maybe Kareem, every mega NBA star since I have been watching the NBA has been both loved and hated by a lot fans.

Show your hand?  Come on now.  I won't show my hand and take a loss.  The dude is the best player in the league.  He doesn't have to play games. Teams know what he can do.  Can they stop him doing it?  Realistically, his team was bad around him and that hurts your game even if you are a superstar.


LeBron is very polarizing because of this.  more than other superstars.

I doubt he wants to take a loss, but it just happens.

Sure, he is polarizing, but, again, find me an NBA superstar in the 21st century, aside from Tim Duncan, who isn't.

I get why Boston fans hate him, though, as the Celtics have been his personal whipping boy for the better part of a decade. :lol :biggrin:

Plus the Cs don't move the ball as much and can't seem to make their shots. Their defense doesn't seem as tough as in Game 1 either.
