on the defensive end lebron just looks old.

he was never a great on-ball defender though
most of his defensive praise comes from him being a great weak side help defender, getting chasedowns, and being the LB of a defense.
plus who can stop KD? he's arguably a top 2 scorer ever.

idk maybe the cavs aren't stacked...
frye,tt,korver,kyrie, and jr are all one trick ponies
then you have shump, rj, and derrick williams who are trash at pretty much everything :lol:

Not true. When LeBron has the ball and penetrates into the paint leading to kick outs and open 3's, those guys you mentioned are invaluable.

The issue is that the Warriors have length to disrupt LeBron, making all the right defensive rotations and knowing when to help. None of the guys you mentioned had an open look tonight.

As if said before, the Warriors are probably better in defense than they are in offense. Scary.

Melo doesn't help the Cavs really
plus he's going to the Clips
Cavs need younger and more athletic players that can score (obviously) but also affect the game when they aren't scoring.
GSW has zero players in their rotation that can only do one thing.
 
Phil may just trade Melo and get Shump and JR byke for some championship grit. JR becoming Kobe in the triangle...what a time!
 
The Warriors being this good isn't good for business for any other team in the league.

Y'all hated Lebron dominating, y'all are really gonna hate the Warriors for the next 6 years. :lol:

those dudes are liabilities on the defensive end
what you just said is irrelevant because the cavs aren't going to beat gsw by outgunning them.
and gsw hasn't really disrupted LeBron this series :lol:
he's averaging close to a triple double for the third straight year against them.

If you guys were watching the NBA when Jordan was around, he'd easily be the most hated athlete of all-time.

I really believe some of y'all have no idea how dominate that guy was

So you're pretty much saying if they don't get open 3's they suck?

No way they last 6 years...that core will be gone by end of next season, they might secure another ring first though

Dray to Pelicans
Klay to Sac
KD to DC
GSW remains with Curry/Igodala

He and the Bulls were dominant, but they had resistance most years sans the 72-10 season.

LeBron has been playing the same way this series as he has the rest of the playoffs. The only difference is that this Warriors team is the best defensive team he's ever faced.

Like I said, you can beat Clev if you contain the "others".

how?
worst case is probably their bench will get worse every year but that doesn't matter
dubs haters better pray steph's ankle injuries come back or kd's foot starts messing up again.
