LeBron's shot chart so far vs. the Bulls
 

 
He's the Cavs best passer, that's the rationale. I would have been completely find with an inbound play set up for a JR Smith jumper. Even with Kyrie hobbled, I trusted him with a stand still jumper if they could get him open. 
It's still idiotic. You put the ball in the hands of your best player in that spot

I'd say that automatically going off that is fairly short-sighted thinking

 

Now, I could see a debate on whether you want LeBron passing it out because even if you're not drawing the last play up for him, at least he's going to command attention, but I also understand wanting him to pass it out because he's the teams best passer.

 

JR was 4-4 from the field, and 3-3 from three in the 4th. I would have been perfectly fine with LeBron taking it out and finding JR. I also would have been fine with Shumpert taking it out and LeBron slashing towards the rim and Kyrie coming off a JR Smith screen, forcing movement in the Chicago defense, creating a window for JR.

Is LeBron using migrant farm workers or creating american jobs for the work that has been done on his hairline?

So the Pels organization practically said "make the playoffs or lose your job" and then fired Monty anyway. That's pretty funny. He had a lot of very strong points, but his shortcomings (terrible rotations and usage of his bench) were so damning and he never seemed to improve in that aspect. He's not much for an in-game coach, much like Houston's struggles with McHale, who looks utterly confused and overwhelmed the instant his team isn't playing well. At the same time, will they hire somebody who works as well between game days? That's my question. And for a young, developing team, it's probably more important than being a great in-game coach. Most coaches simply aren't.

Im excited that the organization recognized that a change was needed and they fired the right guy (Monty instead of Dell). There are some rumors going around, like Monty and Dell pointing fingers at one another and the organization realizing they couldn't move forward to both. I heard Dumars was brought in to help the organization decide who stays. Also heard that AD wanted Monty gone. I'm so excited because I know Dell will bring in a guy who fits the roster he has built, ball movement, up tempo...AD playing on a team that doesn't play at a snails pace will be brilliant.

When you can put Jrue, Reke, Ryno, and Davis on the court together the Pels offense is very deadly. Actually a little better than what the Warriors put out there offensively. Problem is the Pelicans can't match GS's defense, not even somewhat.
 
Umm no? That 4-man combo you mentioned was 116.1 ORtg. Warriors' best 4 man combo (Steph/Klay/Green/Speights) was 120.7, and their second best (Steph/Klay/Iggy/Draymond) was 118.9.

I guess this is where Lebron starts to not suck.  Bulls should have taken advantage while they could.  Series over.

So if your legs get tangled you're now allowed to kick players intentionally? 

 

edit: Jae Crowder baited JR Smith into punching him, but it still isn't justified and deserved the ejection.

I never said you could, but it doesn't allow you as the opponent to kick someone (yes, it was a kick). All he had to do was stand still and say something to the ref who was right near him, but he kicked him. 

 

Him shoving Dellly in the back to initiate it all didn't help his cause either.
