I'm not evaluating this series. I'm looking at the season. In it's entirety. As we both agreed, there's blame to go around but we both know that's not how the narrative plays out. Cavs lost, it's Bron's fault, Cavs win, Bron gets praise. Lakers lose it was Kobe's fault. Lakers win and voila!
Magnifying all of this is the C's have been ECF for 2 yrs running and now when they should be better than either of those 2yrs, they thud their way out of the playoffs. Kyrie's team, Kyrie's fault.
And whether it's fair or not, he gets the 'questionable' leader tag until he proves otherwise without LeBron's assistance.
