    Last time Lebron left Cleveland they had JJ Hickson as his replacement

    They didn't "build" around J.J. Hickson and J.J. Hickson wasn't LeBrons replacement. They don't even play the same position...

    Just like the Bulls "built the team around" Pete Myers when Jordan left (the first time).

    You know watching this WCF, i'm not seeing a lot of incredible play. Poor passing, brick shooting (By the stars no less), equals a poorly played game. The only way Houston wins is when they shoot lights out. It's all ISO in this game for Houston. Bottom line is hitting shots. Blazers with more shot makers can get to this point.

    3/20 from three. He doesn't shine in playoffs like he does in regular season. His only signature playoff moment was that record breaking overtime against us in 2016. Two championships and never even close to winning Finals MVP.

    Ha shot makers wasn't the problem.
    Portland went into the series against NO with a game plan designed by the coaches.
    'Lets hope the other teams best player isn't disciplined enough to have the endurance necessary to play 40+ minutes per game.'
    Bunch of whack and I'm still not over that bullshit game plan.

    Haha and just like that, Curry's having one of his best playoff moments.

    Lebron doesn't play a position and JJ Hickson was the number one option when Lebron left...Danny Green started that season as the number one option...Hickson took that role second half of the season...in fact he did replace Lebron's status as the go to guy that year. Hickson was already there before Lebron left...they didn't rebuild around him....they gave him the shots..if Paul George came here and CJ left, PG (a SF) would replace CJ as the number 2 option...not so hard to figure out.

    Well, this really shows how much of a homer I am....

    If we played GS, we'd lose most every game by 15.... which is much better than Houston is doing, and better than the Pels did (I think).
