Fouling out in basketball is the stupidest shit. Imagine if in the NFL if you got ejected for holding 3 times. Just give the ball back and two shots for every foul after 6

He can't he's worried about fouls now. Lebron isn't used to having to worry about fouls.

This is what happens when you don't have a coach.

Ok serious question without sounding hot takeish to Boston fans
Legit-was IT THAT much of a defensive liability or is this just a cute run?

Celtics warriors would be a fun possibly 5 game series with IT, they match up decently well with him.
Without him,eeeehhhh

We can only hope. Assuming the Cavs win this series, I don't care what happens against the Celtics, it will be a tough road to win four. Love to be proven wrong by a Warriors beatdown but I just don't see it.

All I know is that Lebron won't be telling people to drink Sprite while on the bench.

This is what happens when the refs call James even.
It is wonderful.
It is wonderful.
IT is a liability on both sides of the ball when he's playing hurt. That plus the Celtics finally hitting their open shots
Right, it's not like LeBron is fouled on nearly every drive attempt or anything.

Get too many fouls in the NFL and you're getting benched anyways. I don't see the problem. Encourages cleaner play and less chance for injury.

He gets more calls than every other star in the league before Harden came along. What more do you want?
What exactly does any of that have to do with what I said?

At this rate they may not get a chance with the Warriors. I checked out of the NBA playoffs after that game 2. I learn today that they lost game 3 and now Lebron with 4 fouls? After watching NHL and NBA for so long it always seems that in the NBA the home team has an incredible advantage. I will be shocked if the road team wins the first 4 in this series. I don't think I've ever seen that happen in the NBA

His 3rd foul was bullshit though.

We ready to go with the narrative that this team is better without IT?
It happened in Round 1, Celtics vs. Bulls.
Cavs haven't lost yet. Don't underestimate Lebron. I remember I thought Pacers would win that one game they were up tons at half. Instead Cavs came back in a big way.
Edit: I'd like to see this series go to 7 though. Maybe God Olynik can twirl that basketball in front of the Cavs bench once Lebron fouls out.
It's funny because they are actually better in this series without IT.
It just happened in the first round with the Celtics and Bulls.
Yeah because Thomas was playing hurt, no shit they're better.
You know that's not a half bad idea.

Funny, this past semester, my statistics professor gave us an assignment to see if there is such a thing as home court advantage in the NBA. We were allowed to choose any team--using last year's regular season W/L records, mind you--and found that it basically doesn't exist.
I chose the Cavs and it's showing... ¯\_(ツ
