Stanley Johnson vs LeBron - "I wish he would just talk when [the game] is 0-0, not when he's up 16."

Not really. He's a rook and has not played scared AT ALL. Tobias is the one playing like nikkas is in his head. Stanley having this attitude is the Pistons attitude I grew up loving. Zeek, Mahorn, Laimbeer, never been no bytches. Took their lumps, got better and eventually got over the hump of Lakers and Celtics. Even when they weren't as good as those teams they never baked down.

I love the young fellas attitude and work ethic and feel that with experience he's gonna be the eventual leader of the team. He's just got that personality and no fear attitude and confidence that I think it's infectious. This is exactly why I wanted them to make the playoffs and get a taste of it. This nikka gonna be putting in that work in the offseason extra hard. Gonna handle his like his momma (rip) taught him.

I can respect that, and I'm certainly not questioning Stanley's confidence in himself, yet it seems a case of LeBron's and the bench's gamesmanship getting in his head, rather than the other way around -

"He moves his mouth sometimes. Their whole team does, kind of like their little cheerleaders on the bench. Every time you walk in the right corner. They're always saying something like they're playing basketball, like they're actually in the game. There's only seven or eight players who play, I don't see why the other players are talking. They might as well just be in the stands, in my opinion."

Down 0-2 and he's worried about what the bench says and should be doing - I'd say the mental game is advantage Cavs.

I think he's just commenting on it. His play on the court doesn't reflect him being scared or them being in his head, which is the only time something like that should matter.

Again, if you wanna see somebody playing like Lebron and them are in his head, see Tobias. nikka playing soft as a microwaved ice cream sandwich right now. He's the one looking like the overwhelmed rookie.
