the trades got them a legitimate nba lineup, not a championship lineup imho, i say they go down to a more disciplined seasoned well rounded team

i meant to call this post out at the time but to me it's clear that the cavs have as good a chance as anyone
― k3vin k., Sunday, 8 March 2015 01:45 (nine years ago) link
really have u checked out their bench, do u know they start jr smith
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 01:48 (nine years ago) link
their coach has never coached in the nba before
they have 7 playoff-quality players, that added to their top-heaviness is all you need for the playoffs
― k3vin k., Sunday, 8 March 2015 01:50 (nine years ago) link
theres not really any such thing as a "playoff quality player" i mean different guys are appropriate for different roles, and they have at least a few who dont fit the mold, jr smith as a starter, tristan thompson as yr backup center, not sure what you think theyre gonna do about back up point in this seven man rotation either
worth mentioning too theyve been playing a tighter than most teams basically an eight man rotation over their recent successful streak, so the idea that they can tighten things up for the playoffs is a bit suspect, most other playoff teams have a more cuttable minutes going to mediocre players than the cavs do now
also bron has in the past been able to ramp up his minutes for the playoffs bigtime w/o any ill effects but i suspect that might not be the case any more, kyrie for all his brilliance def seems a little not ready too, feel he could be funneled into some pretty bad play
but they will prob make it to the efc just as a default so i guess w a little luck they cld beat atlanta, still overall i dont think theyre too strong
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 02:02 (nine years ago) link
maybe the bulls will beat them in the 2nd round? wld be p cool
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 02:05 (nine years ago) link
also they def lean too heavy on the stand around and watch bron / watch kyrie offense which doesnt play well in the 'offs

if noel can find a way to do anything useful enough offensively to stay in the game he will be a force on the other side

re: cavs talk, they almost definitely make the east finals, they also prob don't move to the finals but if they don't it hardly means "welp they're fucked for good now rip cavs forever"
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 8 March 2015 02:58 (nine years ago) link
dont think anyone was saying that
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 03:00 (nine years ago) link
not you specifically, but the NBA schadenfreude thirst is real among a decent portion of close hoops followers, for various reasons
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 8 March 2015 03:04 (nine years ago) link
they have to be coming around to the fact that the cavs a pretty good now at least, tho long term love walking away is obvs a potentially a dire scenario for them long term
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 03:07 (nine years ago) link
on the other hand not like hes been any good for him so maybe they cld use that money to replace his production in some sort of better way idk

bron not getting any younger too tho it seems like his old man game will be pretty legit as long as he can keep his body healthy/maintain his roids connect

middleton w/ 30-9 on 11/20 shots incl. 6 made 3s, MCW with 12-3-9 and a bunch of critical defensive plays in the 4th (also 4 turnovers elsewhere but that's kinda low for him)

"I heard some people calling me that but I know I'm not a stretch-four," Love told NEOMG. "I'm a post player who can shoot. Right now I'm just doing what I'm called to do. For good, bad or indifferent, I'm playing my role and doing what's asked of me. Tonight, I stayed out on the perimeter." [...]

hes in denial of his true nature: boston celtic
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 04:34 (nine years ago) link
a scoring big man who can't protect the rim even passably seems like, not the move when tyler zeller is already there and could maybe learn to sort of rim protect eventually
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 8 March 2015 05:18 (nine years ago) link
(I know zeller can't score like love can, obviously, most definitely not right now)
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 8 March 2015 05:20 (nine years ago) link
the boston media fawning over love would be lol-worthy for a while, to be sure, and then would revert to its usual feeling, which is something akin to doing shots of ipecac
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 8 March 2015 05:22 (nine years ago) link
i don't think you say no to kevin love because tyler zeller has turned into a halfway decent player
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 8 March 2015 05:25 (nine years ago) link
if it somehow happened and he was a perfect fit I would 100% eat crow over it, but A. him leaving is unlikely and B. going of all places to boston seems more unlikely

Kevin Love quotes are such a bummer he should just stop talking altogether ala marshawn lynch and Bron should just pony up for any fines he gets
I mean if u can't be happy playing on a team that's getting hot at the right time next to the best player and probably has a a 50/50 shot at going to the finals what is wrong with you
Anyone know if he got dumped right before the season or something, shit seems deep
― we just form a f#!king wall (agent hibachi), Sunday, 8 March 2015 17:43 (nine years ago) link
thinking part of it may be he slimmed down too much his game relies a lot on strength and he was always very strong
― rational_skull_collector_69 (lag∞n), Sunday, 8 March 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link
cant really say why hes so sad other than he has been playing very bad and bron hates him
