You acting like we want the others to be Chris Paul or something.

Same exact post.
I didn’t “shift the convo” by saying Hood has never excelled as a playmaker, I responded to what you posted.

Let me ask you this. When you go to your local gym to play pick up ball, how much effort would you say you give when someone stands around and dribbles the ball for a crap long time? If I get on a team with a dude like Harden or Westbrook that dribble the ball around then take some dumb *** shot or expect me to sit in a corner and do nothing, you arent getting **** out of me defensively.
if they win a game against the Warriors that would be a success...word to AI's Sixersthey won't get destroyed in the finals
Boston's crowd is amazing
I don't think it's fair lue gets all the blame .we really don't know how good or bad of a coach he is. People used to say spoelstra was garbage and he's proven to be better then decent.Pretty sure Ty Lue is a NT
I can't dribble or playmake so it's cool. Let me play d rebound and feed me wide open shots once in awhile and I'm gravy .Let me ask you this.

The guys he plays with aren't giving him enough though. They are being outplayed. Why they're being outplayed is another story, but the Cavs others are definitely being outplayed.
Let me ask you this: Do you think the Cavs are better off with Clarkson, Hood, Green, etc. running PnR and creating plays against the Cs? Like do you honestly believe that in an ECF game against the Celtics, on the road, that that would give the Cavs a better chance at winning?
If this was a russ west situation I get you. He isn't even breaking 5 games in the first round playing his way. But bron ball has made finals runs, netted chips, he's insanely successful at it. If it isn't working against the Celtics, then the Celtics may just be a far better team than the cavs. Giving the ball to bron and letting him make all the plays has proven to work. If it doesn't work against the Cs then I mean, so be it.
This isn’t the rec man it’s the ECF.

I'm just using human nature as an example. Would you be more apt to do more if you knew you were going to get an easy bucket out of it or if you were going to stand around for 20 seconds of the shot clock and someone is going to jack up a shot?
People say that Lebron and Harden need more out of their teammates, but thats hard to get when you are running ISOs for half the game.
I can finish layups with either hand , roll and illegal screens are my calling card.Can you set illegal screens, roll, catch the ball and make layups?
You sound like my ideal teammate
He's insane man
This is a reach. If I'm playing with a guy who's winning every game in pick up playing his way, then what can I say about that?
This isn't the Rec, this is the ECF. Mind you, LBJ has won 7 straight ECF's and has 3 chips to show for his style of play.
It's not like he's some above average player we're talking about. He's INSANELY proven. In theory, you'd be right but not with LBJ, and not with these teammates.
I'd love to see an NTer coach the Cavs
junglejim is basically collin cowherd with these metaphors and reaches its disgusting
I think for as great as he is , (imo hes the best player ive seen whole career play out despite me disliking his game ) and he is great he could've and should've won more. Talent wins out sometimes but in a better system he could've won more. I feel like he left alot of meat on the boneThis is a reach.

I’ve always thought Bron and westbrook had similar games on offense. They don’t pass the ball for movement and to beat the defense. They’re usually passing for an immediate shot attempt. The glaring defense is shot selection and that’s because of she they drive. Bron is half a foot taller and 60lbs heavier. Russ has to drive and avoid people to get to the bucket. Bron runs through defenders and rarely gets called for a charge.
When Russ gets those exact numbers, he’s padding. Bron is playing with bums when he gets them.
No hate; Bron’s one of the best though.
