People say the same thing about the college game and look who made the Final Four... Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke... all teams with superior big guys other teams simply couldn't defend. I don't think that will ever change THAT much because you can make adjustments to defend the three better. You can't really guard a 7 footer who is dominating you down low. |

Not this year. Lol at the thought of a Canadian rookie being able to handle an NBA playoffs. Those guys are soft. Takes a few years.

Agreed. I really think Griffin saved the season for the Cavs. And it's a shame to think of how much better the Cavs would have been if they didn't force themselves into the Love trade.

What's LeBron's career record in the NBA finals? I'm sure it's great because he's so awesome.

Griffin stuck his neck out to keep Blatt. It's well believed that Blatt demanded help on defense and a rim protector. These personnel moves were a lot more about giving Blatt the pieces he asked for. I'm sure Lebron didn't disapprove. But Griffin went against LBJ in ways many GMs wouldn't.

It should probably be pointed out that Wiggins was pretty bad this year (.034 WS/48, -2.3 BPM, -0.2). Not that it was in any way surprising considering he was 19 and asked to do a ton, but he would not have helped much for the Cavs this season.

Wiggns
Bennett Waiters Yep. That great depth the Cavs got rid. I'm sure those players would have made the difference. |

Can't doom the love trade due to bad luck though.
If he and kyrie stay healthy, I think we can all agree they have a pretty good chance of winning a title. |
