It's hilarious to see LeBron haters move goal posts from season to season to deny LeBron his fifth MVP.

With the exception of last season and the season Warriors went 73-9, he had a case for MVP each season this decade, but he only won two. The haters keep shifting arguments. I've heard them all, all the colors of the rainbow:

* This season it's cause he's playing with AD.
* That first season with Miami when Derrick Rose won it was because he was playing with Wade and Bosh, despite the fact that he was putting up the best numbers in the league.
* His first season back with the Cavs it was because he missed too many games, even though the Cavs were 3-10 in the 13 games he missed and 50-19 in the 69 games he played.
* His last season with the Cavs, after Kyrie left and he dragged that CORPSE of a supporting cast (19-63 record last season, 5-18 so far this season) to a 50-32 season and later the finals, it was because his record wasn't good enough, even though they were arguing that a 47-game winning Russell Westbrook was the MVP when he ended up winning it the previous season.

And all the time they were mentioning that LeBron is playing in the east. And now that he actually is in the western conference, they are arguing that a player from east should win. Can't make this up. **** is legit hilarious.

you should hear yourself.
 
I had to do a double take when Mook Morris caught the ball on the block and jab stepped. Immediately thought Melo.
 
Take a shot every time Simmons does a jump pass when pushing the break

We’d all be dead by the end of the first quarter every game.

Embiid and Simmons both have just terrible fundamentals and it shows with their ridiculous turnovers every time and falling apart at the end of close games. Ben’s constant jumping in the air with no plan trying to pass to somebody that’s already covered and picking up his dribble with nowhere to pass is some of the most infuriating **** to watch.

We keep winning games but it literally just doesn’t matter to me til we stop doing the exact same dumb *** **** as the previous two years. This time without the spacing that JJ, Belineli, Ilyasova, Dario, Covington, etc used to give us.
 
Definitely in the minority when saying this but it’s best Embiid takes a step back on offense to focus more on the defensive end. We all know he can drop 30 any given night (except against Gasol) but force feeding him just slows down our already slow offense.

Tobias, J Rich and Al should be the focal points on offense especially when Simmons picks and chooses when he wants to play aggressive. Not worried too much about the defense as it’ll get better over time
 
oh noseeeee


Trae Young yelled "It's over!" to the Heat crowd after the Hawks went up 6 1 minute left

...The Heat ended up winning by 14.

The fact that we’re still winning and in close games in spite of that shows how good we can be. Our problem is still Simmons and his unwillingness to shoot/stay aggressive. We’ve seen games when he’s aggressive and Embiid is playing so Embiids presence isn’t an issue
 
When Lil’ Russ did this last night y’all slandered him!

Seen the L coming...The coach made a mistake down the stretch..did the offense/defense sub with Trae after this play but didn’t put him back in on the offensive possession before the Heat hit a 3 to tie the game ...knew it was a wrap when that happened cuz the Hawks ain’t deep enough for OT
 
Man this a good convo. Wish I could've gotten a prime curry & prime kobe tandem.
 
Being up six with a minute left in a college game is pretty much game over. In the NBA, you gotta treat that as practically a tie game.
