Lebron James Wasting No Time In keeping Up His Rep As A Coach Killer

[dtgold88]

Please, He couldn't handle the pressure in Cleveland.

Yeah....really struggled. Only team to beat GS the last 4 years in the playoffs, and knocked off a favored Celtic team last year.

What did Lue get blamed for exactly? Maybe a few regular season losses?

The Cavs overachieved during Lue's tenure. They got to the Finals all 3 years where they were heavy underdogs against GS. They won 1 and Lue got a lot of credit for it.

He got fired shortly after LeBron left because management wanted him to rest vets and tank. Lue refused to do that. His firing had nothing to do with LeBron.

You serious? The guy got blamed for pretty much every loss the last 2 years he was here. Never credited for wins by the same people who blamed him.....including the title.

I'm not saying he's a good coach. He's like most. Give him talent and he can win, don't and he wont.

I don't know - this sounds more a like a bitter fan that is bashing LeBron for leaving the Cavaliers - but we will see

Not really. I feel the same way as a fan and thought the same when he was here.Never liked the guy. Did not care for him being a narcissistic, passive aggressive drama queen. Glad he was here, though and hoped he would stay. Also think he's in the discussion for GOAT

 

[dtgold88]

Wiggy and LB23fan are all kinds of butt-hurt James left the Cavs.

LOL.

Because they are able to look at the situation rationally?

Trust me, I don't like the guy even in our colors...

More crying

I get it...and if you don't like him but are glad you have him I get that too. Take the good with the bad.

Yeah, I am serious.

Every single aspect of the NBA gets overanalyzed to a ridiculous degree during the regular season. Whether or not a couple analysts decide to blame Lue for a few meaningless losses doesn't matter.

Facts are facts. LeBRon always backed him. And Lue's ass kicking of Steve Kerr was every bit as important in 2016 as Kyrie and LeBron's 40 point games and the Warrior injuries/suspensions.

And I am not saying he is anything special as a coach either. There are very few difference makers on the sidelines. There are definitely bad NBA coaches out there that lose their locker rooms, but most are adequate. And adequate wins when you have the players. Lue was adequate.

I love how you tried to sneak in the injury excuse. Did it ever occur to you that curry and Irving were evenly matched and they had no answer for Lebron? That was why the Durant signing was so important. Most likely GS would have 1 championship against a crippled Cavs team and thats it...

Durant saved them

Not sure why you got the impression I thought anything you just said would not be true. Other than maybe Lebron always backing him. Not sure that was the case in his last year here.....not that he ripped him either.

@ChiefsLakers67 would trade LEBron for a couple first round picks and be THRILLED with the outcome.

Probably would be a good idea tbh lol

 

[broncosmitty]

I don't buy he'd be excellent at it. Lebron is the ultimate do as I say not as I do guy. And anyone who played with him probably knows it.

He seems more than dedicated to his craft to me. Say, do, what have you, he's done as much to win as anyone I've ever seen. With a lot of not that impressive teammates imo.

I agree 100%, but I don't think that makes him a good coaching candidate.

We're at an impasse.
