I don't think Cleveland even wanted to play tonight.

4. What others?

James is the only star on the team. Unlike GS which has four.

so long odds... but imagine how dominant that team would be.

6. That would just not be fair to the rest of the league

It's already ridiculous that they have Curry and Durant together (along with Green and Thompson).

7. yup... but Lebron wants another championship ring...

so where could he go and either build a team around him or join an already good team that would beat GS?

Houston?

Every other team is doing the same. you can't stay pat or others will go by you. It's up tom LBJ.

21. No, it wouldn't

Having all those superstars on one team is literally the definition of unfair.

Yes, other teams would have to get better - but they will be operating from a disadvantage.

The season will begin with the majority of the teams knowing they have no chance of winning a championship, barring a series of catastrophic injuries.

In a fair system, the teams would be more evenly matched, and every team would have a chance to win.

jumps in and finishes your sentences what would be the point of thinking? It is not a criticism of James. Or the players. It is what it is.

9. I think James so dominated his team, the others lost game.

I thought maybe Cleveland would win 1 game, but they were swept. Too bad. LeBron

Well, at least the Warriors gave the bird to tReasonous fatso from the Coach on down, telling him that they weren't even thinking of going to see his sorry, treasonous, racist, lying autocfatic ass

11. I wish they hadn't done that.

Turning down the extended invitation would be much more 'in your face,' at least IMO. YMMV, clearly...and I could accept reasoning that suggested that.

Pretty much laid down after Game 1, which they should've won.

12. I hope he joins the Sixers

We have a young, playoff ready core plus lots of money. He may be able to bring someone else of his choice over.

16. Not a fan

of the Warriors. They are bunch of douchebags. Draymond Green is like the black Trump of the NBA. Also not impressed with them snubbing Trump since any NBA team would have done the same since the NBA is a super liberal league.
