He's good enough to carry the team to the title. He nearly did it with a bunch of scrubs and an ineffective, powerless coach in over his head around him last year. It will again come down to health and executing in four games.

It's one thing to want power. But great players don't stomp their feet and have passive aggressive temper tantrums the way Lebron does. Woj is a pretty reliable source and this isn't the first or last time Lebron made a demand so ridiculous then threw a fit when he didn't get his way. I mean, it's not even a question... if Lebron wanted, he would have snapped his fingers and told he locker room to respect Blatt, and Blatt would have gotten it.
If Lebron stopped with that shit and focused on playing basketball, the Cavs would be the hands-on favorite to win the championship. But right now, they are a team with a legendary basketball player and a ton of baggage he brought in. Just like last time.

Do you have any idea how silly this all sounds? Look, I get that you've hated LeBron since he bolted Cleveland the first time, but that doesn't mean he's some power-hungry villain solely responsible for every move involving the Cavs that you don't like or that his lack of respect for Blatt took away from his focus on the game of basketball. Shit, the team is on pace to win 60 ****ing games because of him.
And no, let's not be ridiculous, the Cavs would not be the "hands-on" favorite in any scenario (whether Blatt had their respect or not) as long as this version of the Golden State Warriors exists.
