Hei! I bind d hands of all villagers that have sat on top cavs matter They mistook Bogut for k love. May they continue to miss!

Bogut's health has always been an issue but I never knew he would be this unlucky.

We've got a lot of road games this month and with the way things are going, I just hope we can keep the no1 seed before Love and JR return.

Durant out or not, no team should be able to compete with the Cavs in a 7 game series if fits.
Warriors should be worried. It's now hard for other stars to lay their hand on a ring for two years at least. Looking at the Cavs roaster, I see no way they lose a playoff series to any team right now.

What of the Spurs? I fear that team pass the KD-led GSW. You know why? They have an experienced coach, defensive minded players and a consistent bench.

Although I agree with you that the Cavs are the team to beat, I don't expect it to be a walk in the park.

SIRcumalot:
The Cavs roster is really-really good if everybody stays motivated,I had my doubt but the cavs GM came through. Let just hope Lue can mange the roster proper.

And healthy, Bro! We can't afford to lose LeBron/Kyrie to injury right now.

A40:
The style is just too Boom or Bust for my liking. And this was the good thing about K.D coming. You can see on some nights Steph's shots aren't even getting near to the basket especially on the road. When you take 2 or 3 shots like that as a player I feel you should sense your game is off and try something different. This is why guys like LeFlop are tough to stop.

This,right here, is what great players do. They don't just rely on one aspect of their game.

@SmooshCHN

You mean you didnt flinch in KD joining the Warriors??

I was surprised to see KD join the warriors but I've got nothing against GSW. You had the space and resources and you went for him.

Or you're right not proved how happy you are that he might not get a chance at the playoffs?

I said it before and I would like to say it again. I enjoy seeing great guys go head-2-head in finals and It'll be interesting to see a KD-LeBron finals but your comments show we're both watching Basketball with different mindset and energy.

That's a lie

You've concluded already and I think it's unreasonable to continue with this argument.

Eruditor:
Some dolt says KD has a bad record against Lebron (the person is attempting to extrapolate that record into GSW to justify why she doesn't fear him). I say to you that LeBron's teams have historically been better than KDs until GSW. You try to bring up WestBrook and Ibaka but even you know that's garbage. To remind you why that is, I play you LeBron's tape from Cleveland (first time) until last season. Why are you then referring me to more hot garbage from said dolt?

Were Seattle Supersonics going to beat Lebron's Cavs that played Spurs in 07 NBA finals; Had 66 wins in 08/09 and played a conference final? Was OKC (with fledglings like Harden, WB and Ibaka) going to have a better head to head record against Lebron and his Miami Super team? Did Lebron come back to a talentless Cavs team that had worse players than KD and WB did in OKC?

So WTF are you telling me about facts?

Dwade has won more games against LeBron since LeBron left Miami. But does that mean Dwade has been on better teams that LeBron?

KD averages 29.4ppg on 48%FG/7r/3.5a against LeBron and LeBron is averaging 29.4ppg on 52%/7r/7a/2.2s against him. This shows KD plays well against LeBron but LeBron often plays better.

And remember that everyone expects the best player on their team to lead them to victory no matter who they are playing against.

So as I said earlier, It goes beyond just the team. We've got see it as a kind of rivalry.

Decale:
My 3 favorite players currently are Jokic, Wall and Kawhi. I can't get enough of them, mehnnnnnnn.

What of Townsend and DeRozan? Those guys dey ball, abeg!

Eruditor:
Which Bron team is weak? The one that got to NBA finals in 2007? 66 wins and conference finals 2009? Miami heat of 2011-2014? Cavs of 2015- till date?

Be careful where you get your data from. A couple greenhorns are posting stats that have no bearing to the discourse.

The first time KD won against LeBron was 2011 and he's currently 5-18 against LeBron.

It might also be interesting to tell you that KD never won a single game against LeBron during LeBron's first spell with the cavs. Four out of the five wins came when LeBron was in Miami. So, it goes beyond just the team.

The lady was actually correct and you could have done better if you had supported your argument with facts instead of allowing your emotion run through your fingers.

Eruditor:
So when did KD teams having those players become better than Lebron teams? I am listening.

Kindly refer to the post by lolawilliams on this same issue. She made reference to some data and I think that would be helpful.

Eruditor:
Can you count or is counting a fantasy as well?

You already called it a quip

lolawilliams:
Tbh. KD has a horrible record against Bron. The first time KD beat LeBron was March 6, 2011. Since he got drafted in 2007, he's been choking against Bron weak Cavalier's team, there was a time he hadl 40pts and still lost to LeBron by 10pts.

The only thing he has over Bron was winning the MVP in 2014, but on the court, It’s been a lot of famine and not much feast.

Thanks for the data!

I never knew the situation was that bad.

Eruditor:
When they won 67 and 73 wins, was KD there?

Besides, that was a quip to say we would keep winning games even without him.

I never knew! It looks more as a fantasy than a joke.

Eruditor:
Now that you have mentioned it, let me use this opportunity to dispel this misconception. The head to head has always been one sided because until now, Lebron always had the better team...CLEARLY.

So let us relax that awful record bant once and for all.

Durant had WestBrook and Ibaka in OKC, So, I won't agree with you on the bolded.

SmooshCHN:
Clippers success don't depend on Griffin. If Paul and Griffin are healthy they have Spurs, GSW and Rockets to decide their fate.

Of Course! But having a healthy Griffin will increase their chance of getting to the finals.

SmooshCHN:
Quit with the loser mentality already. Everyone was hyped during the December and January match up nobody wanted any players to be missing same for the finals for both teams. It'll just be courageous to say you're happy he's injured and doesn't return for the season. What does teammates do when a key player is down? Everyone's expected to steps up. Personally I think 69 isn't possible cos Kerr plans to rest players. No one's chasing records only to be fatigued going into 7 game series with a well rested Rival coming from East.

No! I've never been scared of a Durant-led team. He's got an awful record against LeBron and It would be interesting to see them go head-2-head in the finals. We were not able to see a Kobe-LeBron finals, So a LeBron-Durant finals will certainly be a joy to watch.

SIRcumalot:
If the LA clippers isn't a cursed franchise I would be cheering for CP3 to get a ring This season.
Cant do anymore warriors sheetposting till the playoff no more ammunition and man don tire.

CP3 has done a lot for the game but their success in the playoffs depends on the health of Blake Griffin. As for winning the title, I think the Cavs are in the best position for that right now.

lolawilliams:
. And they think a 69 wins is possible without KD

Erudiator expects Bron's rival to step up, start hitting 3s and then lead the warriors on a journey of 69 wins. Let's see how it goes

SmooshCHN:
He's too skinny He's just plain unlucky.

That's it! And I think trading your good veterans for an unlucky player is just a big gamble.

Eruditor:
It did not stop us from getting a ring in 14/15. But of course it is not important as the 7-8 January record of the cabs wasn't a reason for the class captain to cry for more help.

Na you sabi .

Eruditor:
Good news. It is a partial tear and he will be revaluated after 4 weeks. Beasley suffered the same injury against Cavs and was back in 3 weeks. I hope KD rests well and is fresh in 7 weeks. If my memory serves me well, Bogut had the same injury in game 5 and was available for Australia in the Olympics.

So let us refocus on getting 69 wins atleast. I need the January version of Curry back now that he will become the primary scorer again.

How I wish they could get that 73-9 regular season record again. The regular season record really means a lot to our warriors .

SmooshCHN:
We're all waiting for the MRI result. If there's no torn ligaments or muscles he'll be back in 2-6weeks depending on when the doctors wants him to.. If there's tear or damage then we talking 6-12 months. All the same, whoever loves the game don't see injuries are good news.
Our forwards would be tested as hell.

I swear! It's kind of unfortunate to lose a player like KD to injury. It's been interesting watching him this season and I hope he returns before the Playoffs/Finals. Not just because I don't want any excuse from you guys but also because I would like see a matchup between the two best players in the league.

But why is he always getting injured when things are going well for him? I remember he got injured after winning the MVP some years back as well.

SmooshCHN:
Eruditor, I'm surprised you're still answering. When you bring up a reasonable points as to why Cavs struggle to Cavs fans, it's like they become more deaf or blind or like you're saying the Cavs isn't good or LeBron is washed up or useless.
Guess the after effect of overcoming 3-1..
He's simply saying the Cavs should pick the right man for the right solution without "Severe DRAMA!!". The addition of 1st round 2nd pick in 2011 draft which also includes (Irving and Tristan Thompson) or Deron Williams wouldn't solve your issue.. Lola used to say Cavs needed a Rim protector when they obviously needed a backup PG more to help LBJ and Irving and then they got Derrick Williams that didn't solve the PG issue nor the Rim Protecting issue. But yes!! Now they have Deron and would go for Bogut maybe.. So is the Cavs doing the right thing picking Deron? Maybe Yes but he doesn't play D and your Paint is bleeding also and Lola knows this, Cavs knows this that's why they're now after Bogut.
It's not hard knowing why they have the highest payroll in history. Their money has to buy everything. Kudos!!
No one hate your Cavs, just the way you talk about your team makes you look like you know nothing about the Cavs or don't want to.
And it's is really not disappointing.

Cavs struggled in January but I'm glad they were able to learn from the adversity and everyone can see that from the 8-2 record in february and that's without a backup PG and a rim protector (which i believe we need). It might also be interesting to remind you that the Cavs played small in last year's finals and they won.

It's true we've got the highest payroll right now but the owner has not come out to complain. So,why should we? He knows we have a chance to go back-2-back by strengthening this team and I'm happy he's not holding back anything. Your 73-9 team got the second best player in the league and you want your rival to just fold their arms? To me, that's hypocrisy!

I enjoy reading your submissions on this thread but I don't understand what you mean by your concluding statement. I'm okay with that but I think you would do well not take any argument personal.

Eruditor:
Oh no points difference counts like numbers on a calculator. If it didn't, how else would you feel CAVs could get to the ECF and not the Heats. What worries me is how CAVS don't refer to December 25th as an example of a Warriors choke anymore- they literally have to go months back to bring up the slightest whimper of banter.

I have no concerns about Deron only that I am trying to make sure a CAVS beatdown will be balanced just like it was in January (no more we need a playmaker excuse). I am guessing all those Deron assists and 13ppg were responsible for Mavs sitting on top the WC or better still, why he helped Cavs molest the Bulls in his first outing for his new team.

Everyone knows the team with more points wins a Basketball game but the weight of the difference does not count.

Deron has not even played a game yet, and here you are getting wet on him. For your info, we' not done yet and I can't really wait for May to come cos we've got to settle this old score once and for all!

Eruditor:
You guys like to console yourselves. So why not check the record in the last 18 games, why the last 5?

In the 57/58 games Cavs have played what's their points difference compared to GSWs? So how else are we going to tell who scores more? Compare how many under 100pts games Spurs have held other teams to, to Cavs. So which of these aspects will D-Will improve for them?

Basketeball is a win or lose game where point difference does not count. What matters is who wins! (I've decided to stop reminding you about the 3-1 chokeness)

I understand your concern about Deron PPG which I think the Cavs don't need to be worried about. What matters is that we've got a good veteran as a backup PG who is averaging more assists than Curry.

Eruditor:
Maggi inside sour soup; it will make no difference. Cavs need someone to stop the bleeding not someone who could create more offense alone. Cavs can't outscore GSW and can't out-defend Spurs so D Will's 13ppg won't contribute that much without a much desired rim-protector. Print that

Maggi inside sour soup . The Playoff/Finals go tell us who the 'maggi' is. I won't be surprised if the maggi turns out to be KD.

The Cavs have won four out of the last five games against GSW. So, I don't understand what you mean by saying the Cavs can't outscore/out-defend GSW. Players get better around LeBron and I believe the addition of Deron will improve the team.

Eruditor:
Did I not say it here? What good will it do for you when you score many points and let many more get past you?

The rim-protector is still what they need over and above every thing. D Will will not stop the rain when the chips are down.

You're scared already

SmooshCHN:
Harden
Westbrook
John Wall
Curry
Kyle Lowry/Isaiah Thomas

You're entitled to your opinion but ranking Curry ahead of Isaiah is kinda odd.

Decale:
Can we see a top 5 PG list from everybody?

Modified:

If I want to fix Curry in a top 5, he'd definitely be at no 5. There's no way he's playing better than Harden, WB, Thomas and Wall.

1. Harden
2. Westbrook
3. I.T
4. John Wall
5. Lowry

No disrespect to LeBron's rival and Kyrie, but those 5 PGs mentioned are the hearts of their respective teams. They dare not show up!

Skywalker5:
Yea but Demarcus? I hope he fits in though.good thing new Orleans are trying to get someone for Davis.

It would be interesting to see those two bigs dominate the paint against your team in the playoffs.

I pray they make the 8th seed.

Skywalker5:
Demarcus cousin to New orleans? . I dont understand that trade

Don't worry, brother! You'll understand when they get that 8th seed.
