Someone with some skills paste Kerr's face over AI when he stepped over Lue. I want the Warriors' bench in the background cheering.
 
Lue is going for the old rope a dope...have your team play like shit...other team plays down to your level then when they least expect it, bam...win the game before they even realize what's going on.
 
Cavs will be better game 2

So will curry n klay lol

I just don't see how Irving and Love will be better defensively though. There's no one on this team they can hide on. Frye can come in to shoot threes but who can he guard? They can find ways to win but some things cannot be fixed overnight.

Yup, but if I learned anything this post season, it aint ova til its ova. OKC blow 3-1 lead, spurs don;t make it to WCF, Raps actually beat Cavs twice in ECF. Anything can happen.

Shows how sad the Cavs are. The freaking Blazers would have given more problems for the Cavs than the Raptors.

It's more like how much the Cavs have coasted through the playoffs against the crap EC now once again coming back to reality.

Whiteside ain't coming. Lebron is the only player to leave the grasp of Pat Riley. He's gonna get max and stay at the heat.

Heat don't enough cap after having to give Wade Kobe money and not having Whiteside's bird rights. doesn't mean he'll come to the Lakers but unless Wade takes a big paycut again, chances of Whiteside staying there are very slim.

I thought they were the 4th or 5th best team in the NBA this year, depending on what you think of the Clippers. They'll be better at home.

So I just saw the final score.

Does LeBron need better teammates again?

It's stupid that people would regard him better if he was 2-0 in finals and had been bounced earlier in the playoffs 5 other times.

that's stupid, i don't hold it against him but i sure as hell don't see it as a big positive.
he assembled not one but two super teams, rolling through the east is the absolute minimum.

do it Ainge :D
I still think Warriors go after him , Biyombo or Dwight , max barnes will leave so might as well get a center since they need one bad

Kyrie on Barnes isn't working at all. Wonder what adjustments they do there for game 2.

It works when Barnes plays shook but since max Barnes has arrived they can't have Kyrie guard him

Yeah I don't think the cavs could get past OKC, Spurs, Warriors, or even a healthy Clippers team if they were in the West this year. Maybe a second round exit at best.

It's why I don't take his "6 straight finals appearances" seriously. The EC has been the JV of the NBA for the past decade and the West is a total bloodbath.

The Spurs - Clippers first round last year felt like the Finals.

No LeBron is staying but I will bet that Irving/Love and most of the team is gone after this season.

So GM lebron comes to cleveland and gets rid of Wiggins for Love, then he gets rid of Love and Irving because it doesnt work out.

Worst GM of all time.

That was a little surprising even to me. I figured Kyrie would hurt Cleveland defensively, but Barnes is by far the easiest assignment when playing GS and even there Kyrie was terrible.
 
If the Spurs have taught us anything it's that blowing a team up after a playoff letdown is not conducive to long term success. You keep the big 3 and get better pieces to fill in. Hell, the Heat got Ray Allen to come off the bench after their first finals loss together. No JR, none of Lebron's friends clogging roster spots (lol James Jones), Mozgov is a great trade piece if you're not going to play him.

Keep Delly/Shump/Frye. Get a younger version of RJ. This team still has a 3 year window assuming an East team doesn't get an insane upgrade through draft or trade.

This is different tough. The Spurs big 3 weren't eating up all of the cap giving them zero flexibility to improve. 2 out of the 3 of them also weren't shit defenders. This lineup will never beat the Warriors or any other team that can spread the floor out offensively in this manner.

Lebron will at least have ONE thing to compare with MJ after all: being the worst GMs ever.

Although it's gonna be tough to beat Billy King for worst GM in NBA history but hey, anything is possible. :p
 
Pretty sure Doc would take a Kyrie x Fyre trade for Chris Paul
Love x Mozgov x whatever else they have for Melo
Wade will sign if Pat the Don doesn't pay him
