All this recent Cavs failing just makes me appreciate the work Bosh did during the 'big 3' era.
Cleveland has played the GSW twice, the spurs once and lost those games. This cavs team isn't on that level.

The heat have a different culture. You could not half-ass a game with Pat Riley as the GM watching you. And yes, Bosh did things that made that team go.

Ultimately though , its on the coach. He appears to be clueless about NBA defense. Maybe he could hire Thiboudeau or something. Also, his offensive sets are anemic - Kyrie is scoring on isolation plays. ditto for Lebron and KLove - I rarely see them score easy buckets. I'd toss this season down the trash can, fire the coach and start new next season lol

Trading away Andrew wiggins was one of the stupid things that organization ever did.

Dallas won against the celtics, but man, that team is good. They just do not give up. If they only had a kevin love, chris bosh, or some superstar caliber player, they would be a force in the league. They just do not give up

A very close game, could have swung anywhere, I appreciate the spirit and resilience of the young roaster..

Abeg no mention Kevin Love...it's a no no..all the Celtics are missing right now is that perimeter shooting..

Man, if only you guys can develop kelly olynk, that guy is good. Those things he did in the fourth..... for a big man, it was crazy. Only if he gets more minutes. I do not think kevin will be bad for you guys though, a good shooter, will open up lane for other players to drive in, you know. Great Game though, you guys need a superstar though, i wonder what your GM has in mind.

Too many pieces for D. Ainge to consider, especially with one top five pick coming from the Nets in the next draft..its not going to be easy shaping the roaster.

Kevin has to leave the Cavs, even if it means moving to the 76ers....like Chuck said, Love is not being managed efficiently, his low post abilities is rusty and almost no longer visible and the style the Cavs play is counter productive..sad to see a talent like that diminish.

Are you serious? you guys have a top five pick? Danny Ainge is a wizard lol. This guy is rebuilding a team while the team is still competing. The GM/OWNER of the Philly Organization needs to take a page from his book. I do see a situation though where ainge lets go of some of his guy and a pick to get a really good player. Who that is, nobody knows.


Well apart from Ben Simmons i do not really know of any good names coming from this draft unlike the last draft.

Talking about love though, i watched him in Minnesota just a little, was his low post game ever good? Sometimes i just begin to wonder maybe he was just an OK player on a really bad team. If he does goes to 76ERS though, HIM and Okafor with some good perimeter players. That might not be too bad.

I have to agree with some of the folks on this thread CAVS May have to move love or stagger his minutes so he plays mostly against 2nd units,if things don't change.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:44pm On Jan 19, 2016
Shebi they said Cavs would have won if Irving and Love played. Loooooool

You people that still think Lebron is the best player in the game. I don't know what else to tell you

Love is no franchise player. Not on a winning team at least. Aside the weak offensive sets the mentality is also questionable

Just watched the game. Cavs relied on James too much. Its like all other players are scared to make moves. JR smith tried but he was ejected. waiting for Jan 25th when warriors play Spurs.
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 10:22pm On Jan 19, 2016

I'm going to say this once. Those players would never stop this team from getting this ring, especially the last player. Love might be the only player there to change Cavs game but still the momentum would change and players like Mozgov and Thompson wouldn't step up.

Even Cavs had an easy ride to the finals especially when Gasol got injured when bulls was in a 2-1 lead. The east was really a joke, more like a party than a combat. If Spurs could get eliminated in the first round, then Warriors need to be respected in that conference

Props to Bron but like OohMpa said "NBA isn't a one man sport"

Congrats to Warriors
Congrats to Iggy and Curry


Said this last year but someone came for me, lol.

Well except for the Love part, it seemed to repeat itself.
The real finals this year at the WCF!!!

This voting process is crap. John Wall this season is the best pg in the East, Rondo in the West. Butler should be ahead of Wade and where are the centers?

Still don't understand wetin Bryant dey do there. The coaches might include in the bench but as a starter? Come on...

Do you mean the same Ranjon Rondo is the best PG in the West? Well it's a voting process based on who the fans wants to see and not entirely performance based..

Yes, Rondo of the kings .

He's the best "traditional/purest" PG in the West. Is he an all rounder or more athletic? No. That belongs to Westbrook. Kings couldn't even compete for playoffs until this season

He leads the NBA with 11.8 assists, his assist/turnover ratio is the best. He's 5 triple doubles this season with a height of 6ft 1". Have you seen his crazy passes this season? He's back y'all...

looks like coach blatt is out! Seems someone at head office agrees. The way the warriors won that game, it was all coaching imo.

They consistently fastbreak you so your defense is never set, and will relinquish the offensive rebound in favor of getting back on defense and setting up. which is why they kept scoring easily, and on every play, and the cavs had to manufacture shots. To me this is fundamentally a coaching problem.

I now really understand what mark jackson was saying about Curry and fundamentals. All those flash, off balance 3s curry keeps making deceives a casual watcher into thinking the Warrior are flashy, up tempo team. This team is coached as well as the spurs are. Lets see in tyron lue can do anything to this team in the next 3 months

That's just how crazy it gets when the fans vote it always feel like it's programmed.....i don't think Rondo is the best PG in the west

How much rose bribe you ?
@birdman
Bron is in complete control of the cavs now.
Concerning GSW,let see how well the spurs but knowing the spurs they might wait till the playoffs before going HAM.
Curry has to be doubled immediately he cross half court that creates easy layups and corner three's for the other guys don't no how you can defend that.
