Truth be told...Kanter and Adams lost form last season..Adams just rejuvenated back this season..

Westbrook has his faults which i criticise a lot but he can't be blamed for everything.

When no member of the team is ready to take the bull by the horn,someone has to step up and stepping up may be negative or positive.
Big men get into a rhythm by getting rebounds and posting up. When they stop touching the ball and getting into their rhythm it tells on the offensive and eventually overall. These same arguments I made then.

When no member bla bla...so PG and Melo are also not taking the Bull by its horn now? Like I said, anyone can make excuses for Brodie. From he had scrubs to we can't blame him for everything. He is never at fault. But when he gets it right, it was all him.

Tualé.

Steve Kerr thank you. God bless. Sub 300 team prior to today + at the Oracle. Nice touch.

Faf around with the regular season till you overdecommission your players like Pop did in 15/16.

Continue.

So when the big men fail to get their layups and post ups,the team should be waiting for them till they get it. I was referring to last season about no one stepping up.

Never at fault?who gets the blame most when we are losing?

For now,the team generally is in crisis..thats all i can say

Rhythm. I said so. When he is pushing them off the ball to count rebounds and pounding the ball till 3 secs left, even McDermott, Sabonis, V Oladipo started shooting rubbish.

8 in a row! We bulldoze the streak killers tonight!

60 wins Countem!

No matter what happens, that bum TT should not be ahead of Frye in the Cavs rotation. He should be used to trade for Marc Gasol or some other big already.

Also, as it stands there are only two players in the MVP conversation right now, harden and LeBron with the beard having a slight edge. Those who feel differently are deceiving themselves.

Grizzles won't leave him without getting something good in return, Cavs would need to add the Nets firstround pick with TT and maybe Shump. Marc would be a great addition to bounce back on the Warriors
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:36am On Nov 28, 2017
Tough loss...hopefully we can get a win in our next game.



Who are we playing next?




GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

It was his fault that whenever he goes on the bench,we drop points and tend to lose more?

It was his fault too that oladipo was brickering in the playoffs when we needed him to shoot in crucial periods?

McDermott has changed team now...what is he shooting atm??

This argument will get cyclical. Kobe and even Curry say the best way to get out of a shooting slump, is to shoot more. That is what decent shooters like V Oladipo and McDermott needed.

How good a shooter is Omri Casspi? But how has he been shooting 3pts this season? Good. That is because he does not get plays enabling him shoot 3s repeatedly like he did in Sacramento. It is science.

Your point that whenever he went to the bench the team dropped points is sequitur but cliché; When a ball dominant guard goes off, the team will have it hard readjusting. If they do it long enough and make him less dominant they will flourish. Kyrie is flourishing without Lebron pounding the ball all game.

Nobody is arguing that he was your best player but the strength of his game and mentality will make other stars flail around him whereas where other stars can customize their games to accomodate others - Russell can't. Melo and PG are testaments to that fact and he is single handedly the reason Kanter and Adams looked below par.

Billy D might not be Pop, but he beat Pop with a roster many did not think was possible and he was within a game vs GSW. The difference between him then and now is, he is now reliant on a player who is mentally fvcked up but he does not realize it.

Again, this is not a knock on Russell's talent or skill. But mentally, Russell is a basketball midget who seems more interested in personal stats than team success.

Harden was my MVP last season, and hopefully this season he would win it finishing as second seeds to my GSW grin AMEN.

We might get lucky since I think they're about to blow things up. Marc Gasol is old and grumpy so his trade value isn't exactly very good, they might let him go for TT shump and young pieces in cedi and ante though I'm not sure i want to let either of them go. Either way we have rebounding and rim defense issues and I don't trust TT to solve them. We need an aggressive big because love just keeps getting bullied.

He's old and grumpy but he's still the face of the franchise, no way they'll let him go for players you listed and I think with the nets pick they can potentially select a new face of the franchise, anything apart from that, I doubt they will make it happen.

Watching that Clippers Cavs game the other day, DeAndre was just bullying Love. I still prefer Boogie to Marc I swear.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:47pm On Nov 28, 2017
They fired a coach because he didn't play Marc in the fourth quarter, it is the same dude you want them to trade for Pako biscuit something and not cabin biscuit? You miss road

Worse trades have been made in less complicated situations, like I said we could get lucky.

Lol! Of course Boogie and even deandre would be preferable options but there are aot of situations that have to align for either trades to be plausible. We get Boogie we sweep the warriors.

Boogie is the man we all wanna watch in finals, a solid perimeter shooter, if we get him we would dominate the Warriors on the glass and in thevpaint, grinding the game to a glacial pace, but I feel this trade will still require the Brooklyn pick but the organization don't wanna touch him cause of LJ

Don't forget Boogie vs draymond. He will eat him alive grin

Exactly. Situations have to align. But seriously, lbj is being selfish right now, he needs to commit so we can actually make this team complete. Our second unit is already looking frightening with wade leading (obviously the sixth man of the year currently) and a trade for Boogie will push Crowder to add to that bench.

Maybe the front office should take a gamble because if LBJ cares about winning and you give him a team that wins or gives him the best chance I doubt he'll leave because there isn't any other team his addition would make this formiddable.

Then there's the issue of pay cuts in this hypothetical situation because IT Bron and Boogie would all want a pay raise next summer, are they all selfless enough to do what's best for the team and create a dynasty in cleveland?

Well like you said there are a lot of situations that have to align for either trades to be plausible. One just got to love Wade new role as a leader of the second unit coupled with a brilliant games from Jeff Green. The second unit had 57 last night, this is it.

Exactly, I don't think LJ will leave a team with core players like Boogie, Love and IT to any other team, only a bad trade will make him think differently about ending his career with the Cavs. For now we can't really tell if he would be leaving or not but with a good trade, he's more likely to stay. The Cavs got a good value for Irving, the can still get something great out of it. I also want the front office to take the gamble

Boogie got traded for little to nothing because he was at loggerheads with everyone and couldn't lead a team for filth. Couldn't make the playoffs, was constantly fighting the team, and coaches. Kings decided to rebuild from scratch, and so traded him. How many of this problems does memphis has?

It's easier to rebuild when you only have one big player, for Memphis to attempt a rebuild, they will be moving chandler, conley, and gasol. It was easier for kings to rebuild because they only had to trade one player, Memphis has to trade at least two, and buy out one player to start a rebuild.
