how much more help does lebron need? why not just make the NBA a two team league? that's basically where we're at anyways. give half of the league's stars to the cavs and the other half to the warriors and let them play 82 games against each other
When Cleveland was too close for comfort for Golden State, Durant took it upon himself to keep the Warriors up front with key buckets. Not only that, he also had 5 blocks. He's my early choice for Finals MVP... Last year, the Warriors did not have a player who could take up the slack while Curry and Thompson struggled with their shots.
Against the leastern conference? Nothing. Against the Warriors, they need a 6th man and/or a legitimate shotblocker/rim protector. They acquired Bogut to fill the latter role, but he went down with an injury.
Durant is playing really well. I'm not sure how the Cavs plan to win this series, but then again... they did come back from 1-3 last year.
I think Curry- Klay and Green will stay together as long as they are in their prime , they enjoy winning over having a bigger role for the latest two . KD might pull off a Lebron in a couple of years
Preach. Not only dominant big man are missing. "Little" guys playing with their backs to the basket, footwork, defense... I played pick up ball last week (first time in 4-5 years). It was a freakin nightmare, 3pt shooting contest, with million turnovers and zero defense. I was so frustrated, it's a miracle i didn't end up fighting with somebody.
I agree 100% and i actually love watching him play because he is just so absurdly skilled on offense. But last night I also got pissed at some of his TOs. They were just so careless and he looked like a drunk guy stumbling through a Bar bringing the ball up a couple of times.
Imo, even though he did provide them with a ring, I think he's way too scared of the backlash to leave Cleveland again. It could very well happen though.
Portland...Sacramento...San Antonio. All those teams were stacked and healthy at the time. We blew them all off the floor. Then one Horry offensive foul in OT to keep us from running the table.
I don't think he'd want to play there. He'll want somewhere fresh with young guys and some vets on the bench. Aka the Lakers in 2 years.
Eeek! I should have said "yet". But I didn't mean anything by that, it's the way he makes those turnovers that nerve wrecking, that's all. He's a joy to watch unlike other players, by his offensive skill set which is probably some of the best I've ever seen as a NBA fan, but when he turns the ball over like he did last night, that is what makes me have question marks.
ok i get what you're saying a little more. however i look at it like u have to take the good with the bad and in stephs case the good is actually amazing where the bad is just meh. and to use an example, i love kobe as much as anyone, but lets not forget he had his faults too. of course i think any of us would agree that kobe's excellence in every other facet of the game more than made up for those "faults", similar to curry imo
the REAL MVP is Kawhi Leonard...he had this same 'high powered' team on its heels (without the help of 2 All Stars and an injured Parker) before they injured him
That's what happens. They treat these players like they're expendable, expecting them to go out there and play with only 3 days off between games. Brutal. Probably will be looked at this off season.
