Who said they didn’t have talent? They had two future mvps in their prime, and a decent defensive team around them. If they had a 3&D wing...
Right. They made the playoffs? 3 WCF appearances and one finals in 6 years with two other seasons missing one of their big 2 to season ending...
He did great today, especially effort on D. In this series he could be important if he can bring effort like that. We need more fast, athletic...
If we make it through against Denver he will be a huge contributor.
What I think you and other posters fail to understand is this: - Lebron can’t attack the paint successfully every time down the court at 38. He...
Durant left because the OKC media turned on him. He got sensitive and got his feelings hurt. They were calling him Mr Unreliable and a choker. No...
Lots of this is revisionist history. Those OKC teams were either the best team in the league each season or lost to the champions in the WCF. If...
Booker is a clown, poster boy of the entitlement generation. Walks around acting like he has 5 rings.
You’re comparing a regular job and it’s expectations to an athlete contract and that’s not the same thing at all. Most people get paid per hour in...
Rui had a good offensive game but on the defensive side, he just gets abused as a chase defender. It’s a practice shot for Klay when Rui is...
It’s basketball after all isn’t it? If this is the worst thing that affects your week then you’ve had a blessed life. There are many people who...
The issue is, Klay can get hot and with enough separation he could drop 20 on you in a quarter pretty comfortably. I just don’t want to take the...
I'm just not a big fan of this approach. Rui can defend Klay fine in the post or 1 on 1. The problem is when he has to get through 2-3 screens, if...
I find it funny how much ice he had on his knees for not playing…
You need to rest Vando sometime, he can’t be playing nonstop. So that leaves DS and Reaves chasing through screens. But they also need a rest....
Reaves has high ball IQ. There was a play in the fourth where he got switched onto Curry and as he was chasing Curry along the baseline, he...
Exactly, Lebron has had a fair few blocks blowing up cuts, DS will also play for it and get some steals and Reaves is intelligent enough to be in...
I’m not sure how they’ll adjust, but AD is showing high on the PnR, I imagine they’ll try to take advantage of a high pnr with cutters in behind...
Great points about their lack of two way players - especially wings. They’ve lost Klay, Iggy and Durant.
Agree with this, I expect Lebron and AD to get back down to about 38 mins. That’s an additional 6 and if he has it going offensively, he’ll steal...
