that's great, but he isn't leading the yoffs in PER/TS/WS/WS48/OBPM etc.....

kawhi still is
although shooting 97 from FT and 47 from 3 is clearly boosting those numbers
 
Lue stating that coaching the Cavs is the hardest job in the NBA. Bron finally getting some respect for being player/coach, leading the league in minutes, and keeping harmony among the assistant staff (Lue included).
 
100% agree. I bet Lebron throws a bitch fit at every call
People talk shit about James but Kyrie couldn't guard his own shadow
Kyrie has this annoying habit of quitting on defense after hes made one or two good defensive play. He doesnt shoulder Hardens offensive load so he has no excuse to be that bad at team defense. Fucking Teague was cooking him.
 
The Rockets are a poorer version of the Warriors of past seasons, the Cavs would beat them. Not sure about the Spurs, though. Maybe today's game in leaving too much of an impression on me but the Spurs can look bad for extended periods of time
Rockets have a lot of physical and long defenders whose main job is to shoot and play defense. You are under rating them calling them a poor version of the warriors when they arent. Warriors run a motion offense and avoid pnr, the rockets play a lot of pnr. Warriors only take 3's if its the best shot available, rockets take 3's even if its not the best shot available. Two completely different offenses man.
 
Yeah and that was not my best bet. The lab is going to be open lol
I wonder what lap David West and Iggy visited, they both look five years longer since the all star break. Hopefully they are able to squeeze in a few more sessions before the finals.

Defending the pick and roll is much more simple than defending the motion offense. I didn't mean to imply that everything between the two teams are the same- that's just not true and you're right in that sense. What I really meant to say was in terms of pure offensive output, the rockets aren't better than last season's Warriors team while their defense is much worse. The Cavs obviously were able to beat the Warriors (albeit w some help from the suspension) so I don't see why they couldn't do the same versus this rockets team. Sometimes you have to look at pure numbers rather than being influenced by names if that makes sense

Cavs played with a purpose last season than they havent played with this season, they also are a whole lot worse defensively. Cavs defense isn't effective if their old guys like RJ, JR, and Korver arent allowed to hold at all times. If TT isnt allowed to hold players to open lanes on offense and push players when hes going for rebounds. The only consistent players they have is Ky and Lebron.
 
it helped they were allowed to blatantly moving screen, and then grab curry on his cuts with no fouls being called

GS's kryptonite is facing the one team that gets the rigged whistle over them haha
 
What do you mean?

I asked ruthless for a bet because he said the raps don't v even win one

He backed out and you stepped up the ante

Yeah, and it isn't a great bet. Not to mention i'm going to be in town rooting against myself

Agreed on all accounts. Still think that if the Warriors came down w the bubonic plague and we had Cavs/Rockets as the finals this season, itd be Cavs in 6

This made me laugh. So true

I read your post wrong, thought you wrote "that wasn't the bet"

you're coming to TDOT?

Nice
 
BSL made its move to clear room for Pero Antic, who played with the Atlanta Hawks from 2013-15.

Lmao
 
lmao. Cleveland would still be a laughingstock if the best player in a generation hadn't been born there.

Yep.Get with Omar and we'll all hook up for a drink

Pff... He's got the easiest job of all head coaches.


I still think David Blatt was unfairly fired. How the hell does a sophomore coach that led his team to the Finals in his first year get fired midseason with a winning record?


LePolitics.
 
Couple of laughs before tonights games..
