We'll see if the Warriors recover from the end of the season stretch of stinkers.

Warriors just have too many dominant players.

I disagree, but do they actually win?

No, so who cares about right now.

Big picture, he has a better shot at building something in Boston that can take over the league when the Warriors decline begins. It’s better than being stuck in Cleveland after Lebron leaves.

The celts need to make a package up and trade for Anthony Davis. They were great in the playoffs this year but a lot of dudes played over their head

He had a couple of good games, that’s it. To suggest Kyrie couldn’t do any better than a role player is silly.

Kyrie is in a great place, but they need another elite caliber player IMO.

I want to see LeBron in Houston and another dominant player in Boston next year. Should make things far more interesting.

Ainge will definitely use their assets to make a move.

They need to.

I’m not sure who though. I’d prefer ad

There are rumors that they might make a move to get Bamba.

That wouldn’t be bad but I’m not sure he’s really enough. I don’t know that the two stars they have now are top line stars. I think they need a top of the line dude to lead it.

Maybe Tatum can be that eventually though

Great game last night. If Durant had been shooting better, it could have been a blowout. He really had an off night. The Cleveland Lebron's hung in there though until overtime when the Warriors flipped a switch and put them away in decisive fashion.

Lebron almost single-handily pulled this one off. He was shooting lights out most of the game. That reversal on the charge was a good call. Lebron was still moving.

I think this might go 7 games- Lebron is carrying this team.

I think Tatum and Brown could both be superstars in the near future. On the flip side, Horford, while a good leader, is not the star that he is getting paid to be. And trade for AD, are you kidding? NO is not gonna do that.

I don't know about that. The Cavs have stayed toe to toe with the Warriors when they've played good defense. Kyrie doesn't do that. The Cavs do need an actual creator like Kyrie. If JR or Love were hitting even a fraction of their open outside shots, they'd be a very different team right now. Paul George or Kawhi Leonard are a lot more of what they need. Two guys who don't need to volume shoot and can play 2 ways.

chiefzilla1501 · 06-01-2018, 11:45 AM

Lebron is an iso player. He always will be. Which is why I hated and still hate the Love trade. And it's a big reason he and kyrie could never seem to get along. LeBron is at his best when his team plays good defense. And with guys comfortable in a support role.

Houston plays a ton of iso.

You aren’t on even Clay’s level with that, let alone Skip’s. Poor effort.
