Cavaliers lose to Warriors in Game 2 of 2017 NBA Finals - Blame LeBron James? | UNDISPUTED 

How much blame does LeBron deserve for the Game 2 loss?

Man you know it's bad if Shannon is doubtful about the Cavs

Steph has been outrebounding Tristan Thompson. lol

You can blame this game on JR Smith. I've never seen a more cringe worthy performance.

Steph is 100% this year, no way Kyrie outplays him in this series. His lateral movement looks top notch, his handling is back to normal and his quickness is back. All of that was missing in last year's playoffs after his MCL sprain and it's great to see him healthy this year.

Where was this Supernatural KD during the last 3 games against the Warriors...

So here are LeBron's fans excuses (including Shannon Sharpe), before the series: "LeBron is a one man army. He's better than Michael Jordan and that is why they will beat the Warriors." After they lose: "LeBron is only one man. He can't do it all by himself." Now all of a sudden they realize what it takes to win a basketball game...a team.

Is this a serious question? How can one even consider blaming LeBron? People want this man to score 100 points per game and even then they'll still find something bad to say about that. We have to put the blame on basically everyone but LeBron and Love for playing completely out of character! Really no one besides those two are anywhere to be found.

Golden State Ain't Playing......

last year Harrison Barnes was left wide open in games 5,6,7 and went 5 for 32.. yet Curry and the other stars were blamed for losing the series.. now, LBJ goes for 2 points in the 4th quarter of this game on 1-1 shooting and all the blame is placed on his teammates...

Oh so now Shannon can't blame Lebron because he is averaging triple double numbers, but when Westbrook did that in the regular season with basically no help it's all his fault and only wins matter

Yeah let's blame LeBron for everything when he loses to one of the most stacked teams ever. Seriously, it's reaching the level of absurdity.

Kyrie gotta have 40pts to win, but the best player LeBron can give 28pt games says shannon? wtf

Russell Westbrook MVP

Can't blame Lebron for this - or Kyrie or Kevin Love, etc. for that matter. Give the Warriors credit for being a great team playing well on both ends of the floor. It's not like the Cavs suddenly forgot how to play basketball, but they're playing a very talented team that is hungry to get back their title.

The Warriors did what they were supposed to do. Defend home court now they can put the pressure on the Cavs by winning 1 or 2 of the games at Cleveland.

kobe would have had 45 points

So yall crying about Steph supposedly double dribbling but when LeBron did that turnaround baseline dunk on the Celtic where we stepped on the baseline and double dribbled and you didn't say anything, you actually praised the move despite clear evidence of a double dribble and stepping on the baseline? lmao.

Brussard disappoints me, even though I consider him an honest man. Does he, or any other Lebron fan for that matter, ever wonders how come Lebron never managed to built a truly dominant super team, a dynasty, even though from 2010 onwards he's been given a stupendous amount of money and talent to support him? In fact he has lost more than he has won and he has lost much more convincingly than he has won. Why is that? The man is simply NOT the best basketball player, but merely the most dominant just like Shaq was. He has absolutely failed to really work on his weaknessess for the past 14 years and instead opted to surround himself with players that help him hide them. Instead of developping a midrange game and go to moves other than muscling his opponent out of the way, to avoid getting exposed by quality defenses, post the 2011 finals he has been surrounding himself with elite shooters and spread power forwards so no team can clog the paint without paying the price. He forced two franchise players in Love and Bosh to change their game, in order for the lane to always be open. Just like in Miami, slowly his teamates turn into motionless shooters waiting to be fed the ball to shoot. And when they face a great defense, they simply lack the rythm that a free flow offense offers and become ineffective. Furthermore, his stamina has always been suspect and it has been factually proven that when having to work intensely on both ends of the court for too many minutes and consecutive games, he gets gassed out very quickly. Instead of working on that, he killed competition in the East, forming his super teams and secured a relaxed path to the Finals each year. But that comes back to sting you bad, when you face a Spurs 2014 offense or the current Dubs. He and his team, simply lack the ability to sustain a high tempo rythm for whole games. They new what was awaiting them in the Finals since last year and instead of coming ready, they were cruising for 9 months.

Kawhi and a bunch of role players had the warriors down 25 before injury. Lebum is getting blown out with his handpicked superteam

people keep saying golden state is just alot better team and has better players. both of these teams are stacked. and Cleveland has better players coming off the bench. dont blame golden state for being stacked when Cleveland is stacked too

LeBron doesn't deserve any blame...Love had a decent game, Kyrie was locked down and the rest of the Cavaliers were non-existent.. LeBron would need to average almost 50 ppg for them to have a "chance" to win.. I'll say like I did in the beginning on the playoffs.. I predicted both GS & CLE would sweep everyone to their way to the NBA Finals, and then GS will sweep the Cavaliers.. Keep saying they came back from 3-1 last year, but you keep forgetting the elephant in the room.. they didn't have KD last year.. the 73-9 Warriors added KD.. IT'S OVER.. time to get ready for the NFL.. Adam Silver is a joke..

People are saying the cavs are at a disadvantage yet they have way more stars and better players than the spurs did. Lenorld and some old no name players easily dominated before he got injured. Even when lenord got injured they still were competing. Lebron and cavs aint got no excuses

The difference between Jordan and Lebron is the timing. Both score a lot of points , Jordan had his points at the right time when his team needed them the most and when the game was on the line. Especially in the fourth quarter late in the games. That's the difference.

All the blame, all of this is on him...he created this scenario. He get's all the credit for winning regardless of what his team does, and when they lose he doesn't have enough help and it's everybody else's fault...you can't have it both ways. This is the team he constructed, not to mention he is a big reason why these "super teams" or teams with an "unfair advantage" are being created, so it's all on him.

it is absolutely shameful that when lebron is dropping points and cavs are winning games he gets all the credit and is made out to be the goat but when the cavs lose he doesnt want to be blamed or atleast take responsibility?every player on mount rushmore had to ability to score ridiculous points when needed to and take over the game.lebron did score a triple double but part of wanting to be on mt rushmore is being able to score when ur team needs u too and not hide behind thr fact u score 28points which is by far not the scoring standard for all time greats in the finals.when he was scoring 36 and 40 in the first round hes the goat and its great but he scores a measly 28 he needs help and it isnt his fault?

Ask a Cavs fan who the GOAT is, they say: LeBron. Ask a Cavs fan who has better handles, Curry or Irving, they say: Irving. Ask a Cavs fan who they'd rather have at center, Zaza or Thompson, they'd say: Thompson. They'd probably even take Love over Klay. Yet, somehow they still complain about KD joining the Ws as if it gave the Ws an unfair advantage in talent?!?! Sorry, Cleveland... can't have it both ways. It just sounds like whining.

I like Chris Broussard. Always objective in his analysis

Of the 6 finals wins lebron has against warriors pre KD he scored at least 30 points in 5 of those games. He needs that jordan/kobe scorers mentality cannot be too passive.

Fox Sports One or Broussard Sports One??? 🤔

If Warriors win game 3 I'm throwing a SWEEP PARTY , can't wait lol

Did they really mention someone double dribbling in the nba? LMAO!!!!!

I pray first things first is worth watching these fools disappoint everyday now. Chris Broussard u a g, keep preaching man

LeBron's 4th quarter in Game 1: 1-4 (25%), 2 points LeBron's 4th quarter in Game 2: 1-1 (100%), 2 points Reality: LeBron is virtually non-existent for his team down the stretch, when needed most. LBJ Fans: "But he had a triple-double though!" lol smh

They're Just Playing A Better Team Tbh 😒💯Can't Blame Anybody 💯

The only way the cavs can win is if their role players show up. The big three can play as good as they want but the role players are not there

Cavs fans: have y'all warriors learned y'all lesson 3-1 Everyone else: Issa sweep bro

Bet if kd has went to any other team he wouldent even be in the finals

Does anyone not see that Lebron is exhausted? Not saying his age is affecting him but all these years of being dominant and putting teams on his back is hurting him right now.

Its NOT Lebron's Fault ...Warriors are just simply BETTER and have a Better Supporting Cast, Period!!

I'm a warriors fan..and I thought lebron brought his A+ game

after 14yrs lbj midrange is still trash he need that arsenal to save his enery come 4th quarter

Man all i really want is for skip to say it just say that no matter what happens the bench does not ever and I mean EVER show up when they needed most

series it's not over! warriors need to play the same way and get the job done! get back what it's theirs! and keep this team together for years! here in the bay area we love our guys and we want them to be competitive for many years! lebron you are one of the best players all time but you know what? you ain't a warrior!!!

Jimmy Butler or Paul George going to the Cavs next season NBA is about to be non-competitive smh

Lebron isn't to blame for the Cavs losing.The Warriors are to blame for the Cavs losing

I'm tired of people asking how much blame LeBron deserves for team losses, find a new question.

Broussard Goat 🐐🐐🐐

Kobe : 5 rings Lebron: 5 Finals Loses

dont blame lebron, him and kevin the only ones who showed up. maybe if JR hit a few 3s like hes supposed to the momentum would have changed

i swear skips making these questions after every game they look straight at lebron lol

as much as lebron positively improves the play of his teammates statistically, we never talk about his mental toughness and body language being a negative influence....his team follows him and when he doesn't look focused or checks out his team follows....I kept waiting on him to get his team fired up somehow but it never came

Lebron chokes HARD with prime Wade and Bosh, to an old team with 1 star: "Their first year together! He needs to adjust! Don't blame him!" KD DOMINATES with the warriors vs a team with 3 stars (only 1 less than GS), 1 of which is supposedly the GOAT: "Lol he gets no credit for that, it's too easy" So easy that Lebron couldn't do it 🤔

as a warriors fan I say you can't blame lebron because he has two other guys are supposed to be super stars and there playing bad ! but that's because warriors defense so the blame should go to warriors

This social media age is SAD! So much hate for a guy who's an absolute all time great athlete of any sport. Let alone basketball. People will miss him when he's gone....or just hate on the next best thing.

Offense wasn't the Cavs problem in game 2. They scored 64 points in the first half. There is no defense and you can't beat GS in a shootout! If there will be no defense in the finals, look to the future and bring in another guy can get buckets like Melo Anthony!

MJ23 and KB8 would have gone down shooting not disappear in the 4th qtr...

Jordan never lost 2 games to JaVale McGee in an NBA Finals. Curry>LeBron

Lebron is to blame, if he sees his team is struggling he should be shooting more , 18 shots is not enough for a player of his caliber

This emphasis on stars is the problem. LeBron is not the only good player on the Cavs, why is he monopolizing the ball?

I Still Got Cavs in 7!!!

Real Goat doesnt dissapeared on second half..enough said

JR, Thompson, Kyrie, and a few others have to take the blame. Only two that you can't blame. Love. And LeBron. Because they're BackPacking right now.

That milisecond that Curry had both hands on the ball didn't make James jump. It's not like Lebron was defending him and then realized "oh, he touched it with both hands, i shall jump". He didn't even complain, nobody did from Cavs. It was such a brief contact. Having that said, it is double dribble, but no excuses for James.

go cavs

If KD is a snake for leaving a city he has no connection with and made no promises to, to join a great team, then what is Lebron for: -visibly quitting in his last series with the Cavs, even his die hard fans noticed... -because he knew he was about to team up with 2 superstars that he had planned for a while already -makes a 1 hour TV special to pick a team, because he's too important to announce it regularly -only came back to join 2 younger, newer stars, and gets on his high horse for returning to Cleveland AT LEAST KD DOMINATING LIKE LEBRON SHOULD HAVE THEIR FIRST YEAR IN MIAMI. Instead, he pulled off an ALL TIME CHOKE

they need to start shump and put him on KD...shumps physical defense was too much for KD

Top 5 teams - 2017 NBA Season 1. Warriors 2. Spurs 3. Rockets 4. Jazz 5. Cavaliers

warriors just have to much fire power for the Cavs they have 4 all stars on the floor at once LeBron is not super man

Kawhi better. hold kd to 12 points and lebron to 17 while scoring 30 on them

cavs should've traded for pat beverly, a star on the defensive end , best pg defender, they (rockets) wanted shump for him and they passed to get a worn out d will...

best believe Cavs will make more adjustments and will play better in games 3&4 an hopefully they will keep the momentum going back to Oakland

Cavs are going to be fine. They are going to win the next two games. No need to panic my friends.

man I love to see LeBron lose lol keep it going warriors.

the Warriors are stacked. it's almost impossible to beat this team it's like putting Michael Jordan bird Kobe Bryant Elijah one and Shaquille O'Neal all on one team . it's not even worth watching because you already know who's going to win. 😪😪😪😪😴😴😪😴😴😴😪😪😪😪

They should let LeBron guard klay, put shump on KD, let LeBron run point, rotate Kyrie, and make a mismatch with Steph. I think they should let ppl rotate on guarding KD and let LeBron rest and roam. That'll help tremendously on defense

Steph with yet another double dribble on that move on lebron

Odel Beckham might wanna stay away cause he chocks to much like the cavs bench.

Lebron gotta score 35 Kyrie gotta score 35 and kevin love gotta score between 17 and 20 honestly and be efficient jr gotta show up too

LeBron can't run all game. Why? Same reason Harden couldn't? Nope. Harden can cut back on his minutes, be there next year. Not LeBron. He's old. Old before his time. His time? Almost over. The window is no longer LeBron's window. It's the W's window.

Im surprised how many warrior fans r saying its over. Didnt u learn your lesson last year?

Never heard an analyst saying Scottie pippen needs to score 40 or have a great game in order for the bulls to win.. reasons why lebron could never pass Jordan

Let's not forget aside from KD, the Warriors is a well drafted team. Great organization. We need their staff in NY.

WHO LET THEM DOGS OUT😹😹. Golden State Champions 🏆2017

With the mindset of Lebron I wouldn't be surprised if he joined Golden State #coward

KD ruin the competition

Everyone talking about how Kyree needs to step up, I love his game he is a monster but so is Klays defense

If you want to learn the truth about basketball, never miss a chance to listen or watch Broussard. Guy is the best around

*Lebron on/off the floor contribution to the Cavs (Offensive Rating): On = +14pts, Off = -12pts. Difference = 26 pts.* *Durant on/off the floor contribution to the GSW(Offensive Rating): On = +20pts, Off = +11pts. Difference = 9 pts.* Stop pretending Lebron is not trying his hardest to carry this team...

KD's defense was the game-changer - 5 blocks and altered many other shots. Completely took the Cavs out of their offense.

The series doesn't start til game 3. Warriors did what they were suppose to do and take care of home court. Now let's see what the Cavs do. I'm a warriors fan but it is far from over.

One of the main reasons the Cavs can't win this series without a serious injury to the Warriors: In order for Lebron to take over entire games, they're going to need someone like Jefferson to come off the bench and guard KD. This is an offensive liability for them, and he really can't do much to guard KD anyway. The Cavs bench just won't be able to get stops...and the Warriors don't need to take Steph and KD out at the same time, meaning one of them will always be on the floor. Even with Green out with foul trouble last night, the Cavs couldn't make a serious run. KD played center and destroyed them! There's just too much offense on that team for the Cavs to have a real shot at this series.

29-11-14 and the Cavs still get blown out by 20. And people got butthurt when he asked for more help smh

If anyone is to blame, it's JR and the bench. Lebron is averaging a triple double whilst JR has 3 points in 2 games and Tristan is not being the offensive rebounder we know he can be. Shump needs to start game 3 and the bench+Kyrie needs to have a big game or this series is over.

Smith,thompson,korver,williams,frye Damn thats a lot of players that didnt contribute much, it was so painful to watch They could barely score above 5 points damn

This is how you know these analysts don't really watch: Broussard said lebron didn't settle for jump shots when he literally drove to the basketball 0 times in the second half. He's just going off of the 3-point shots and making an assumption

I said at the beginning of the series, LeBron needs to play 48 minutes a game if the Cavs want to win this series. He did not play 48 minutes a game in the first 2 games and they lost. If they want to defend homecourt, he'll need to play the full game and have at least 40 points. I know that's asking a lot but that's what it will take. I don't see how else the Cavs will win unless LeBron has a God-like performance.

not a LeBron fan but I don't blame him for this loss...

Warriors should hire delonte west as a "consultant"😂

to get kyrie irving going set some screens and gobe the man an iso
