i think nba commentary also needs to catch up to what they're doing with this roster--most athletic, physical, and defensively versatile team in the nba by a mile

yeah their combination of playmaking and not mistake making on defense is off the damn charts

It's like basketball IQ is important or something.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:06 (six years ago) link
they don't have a korver or a reddick or a harden that just gets abused on defense--i think these playoffs are really going to show how teams exploit those guys to ruin team defense concepts and win significant minutes
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:07 (six years ago) link
crazy theyre going to add another tatum-brown style player in hayward next season, danny-brad was right abt size athleticism and switchablity on the wings

yeah JR, korver, rodney hood etc could barely dribble. also these playoffs are showing that guys who can only shoot can also be driven off the floor. celtics proving it in the other direction.

yeah u really need to be able to attack the close out and then make a play
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:12 (six years ago) link
so what you're telling me is you need some good players, probably 5 at a time, to play basketball at all times if possible

Every day I forget and then remember that they’re doing this without Kyrie and Hayward. It is insane.

really does not make much sense
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:17 (six years ago) link
it's going to be weird. basically a whole new team next year.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:18 (six years ago) link
opinion: brown and tatum are both better than hayward right now
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:19 (six years ago) link
addedndum: even if hayward is healthy
well tbf hayward cant play basketball rn
haha xp
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:20 (six years ago) link
i wonder if they roll into next year with rozier as the best 6th man in basketball or if they try and trade him
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:20 (six years ago) link
brown has answered the questions i've had about him in these playoffs. he's awesome.

every title team needs a lights out shooter coming off the bench, preferably a PG, its the law

jaylen has looked amazing & he's a super smart guy, i bet stevens/the celtics love him
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:22 (six years ago) link
his development as a shooter is unreal i dont think ive ever seen anything like it
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:22 (six years ago) link
What is next year's starting lineup, assuming everyone is healthy? Irving/Brown/Tatum/Hayward/Horford?
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:23 (six years ago) link
yeah same one they rolled out this year i reckon
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:24 (six years ago) link
my god that lineup is a murderers row
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:25 (six years ago) link
terry, morris, baynes, et al off the bench, favorites in the east again for like 5 years at least
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 03:27 (six years ago) link
yeah i think theyve got a real shot at a ring next year

Lineup of Hill/Korver/Bron/Love/Thompson played 0 seconds last night. If you are going to play big with Love and TT, you have to find a way to get to to that group.— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) May 16, 2018

Marcus smart was so good last night, he’s dialed back his wild mistakes but knows when to cut loose and dive for rebounds in traffic, steals, etc. him and Rozier playing with fire is just doubly effective against a team prone to self-doubt and funks like these cavs
They both increase my blood pressure when it doesn’t work out but also cause me more jumping fist pumps than anyone I can think of
Btw I think tatum and brown are both untouchable inside the cs org, Tatum is going to be a pierce level star and brown just knows what he’s doing already as a soph
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
yeah theyd only move those guys for mvp level players prob and only one of them

simmons keeps saying he wouldn't trade tatum for kawhi which to me is insane
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link
I wouldn't do it. Kawhi's injury is too weird.

man gotta say george hill is fn cooked he used to be a top perimeter defender and the celtics were seeking him out for attack last night god
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 20:14 (six years ago) link
feel like the idea of George Hill has always been better than the actual player. similar to another Cav, ya boy the assertive.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 20:24 (six years ago) link
hill was a really good defender i believe that, tho his lack of attacking on the offensive end was def a liability, u need yr point guard in the paint getting rowdy
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 20:25 (six years ago) link
he was fine. pop swindled the pacers.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 20:26 (six years ago) link
i was listening to something where some writer was expressing utter disbelief that rozier was outplaying george hill and i was like it’s not really crazy that someone with a pulse is outplaying 2018 george hill.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 21:17 (six years ago) link
i'm willing to give hill a bit of a pass since he had to get an epidural just to make it through the pacers series, but yeah he would have been a nice pick up as like the 8th man in your playoff rotation. don't think you can be relying on him for game changing minutes...
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 21:37 (six years ago) link
kinda wild to me that they are getting zero from hood/clarkson/nance. you would think one of those guys would step up and at least be a rotation worthy player.
