lol man down

"hand down, man down" is honestly an amazing catchphrase

i've always harbored this opinion

They've numerically been the best defensive team in the playoffs and yes its the east but that's nothing like disaster

Mark Jackson is basically the distilled form of all my dad's vices.

I love my dad but I despise Jackson more than I can say

lol

read statistically, points allowed etc.

points allowed is not meaningful

Not by itself no but
The Cavaliers lead the playoffs in:

Points allowed per 100 possessions (98.1)
Points allowed at 91.4 per game.
Blocked shots at seven per game.
Three-point shooting field goal percentage allowed (28.6%).
Field-goal percentage allowed (41.2%), among the four remaining teams.

Plus they've looked good

heres the list of playoff defensive efficiency, either the east is like super good at defense or something else might be going on

clue

FIRST TEAM
F: LeBron James
F: Anthony Davis
C: Marc Gasol
G: Stephen Curry
G: James Harden

SECOND TEAM
F: LaMarcus Aldridge
F: DeMarcus Cousins
C: Pau Gasol
G: Russell Westbrook
G: Chris Paul

THIRD TEAM
F: Blake Griffin
F: Tim Duncan
C: DeAndre Jordan
G: Klay Thompson
G: Kyrie Irving

Well look at it this way, most of the top 7 teams played notably good D in the regular season besides Cleveland so their presence in the upper portion of that list suggests at least some measure of improvement on their part

or they cld just be playing shitty teams

i mean replacing kevin love had to help but they havent played an offense that cn exploit their pretty obvious weaknesses

does using a depressed australian scrub to take out opposing players kness count as good D

harden has 8 turnovers in the game btw

Matchups have been favourable.

If they weren't shutting those shitty teams down that might give good cause to seriously doubt their defense but as it stands...

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

j0rdan's mark jackson post was amazing

cavs are not suddenly good at d let's get real here

yeah i mean mostly just consider their personal and the potential matchups w/ the warriors and it's pretty much gonna be bad

klay just made a three jumping sideways with his torso rotated 45 degrees like nbd

it looked normal

all the cavs starters recently have been either good or very good defenders, no surprise theyre playing well on that end

thompson w/ 5 fouls that's bad

hey

klay you dummy

jesus what's happening here!

lol klay whatre u doin these are terrible fouls!

my mind is blown by how dumb Klay Thompson appears to be

Klay's brain just shut off on those two dumb reach-ins

kyrie has basically never been anything but a very bad defender

good argument for pulling a player w foul trouble is to at least give them a min to think abt what theyve done

fucking klay

kyrie is one of the worst defenders in the nba tbf

rockets will not go gentle into that good night, rage rage against the dying of the light

what was wrong with the old mustard

bogut hangnail, that could keep him out a while

harden should be fined every time he kicks out to josh smith

dying at that howard outlet

god i love watching dray green play, he does so many little things right

and then he shot some garbage but oh welllll

draymond shooting as if the rec league took the winter off

that was an incredible air ball

This game is painful to watch

shit i cursd dray, taking it back

harden my lord so bad and dumb sometimes

draymond the only player in the league who can pick harden's pocket and guard dwight straight up in the same game?

HARDEN HAS 10 TURNOVERS !!!!!!!!!

brow obvs xp
