And the Cavs don't have Tony Allen
Cleveland as whole has played better defense than Memphis in the playoffs. I referenced Tony Allen because you need a smart defender to stifle Golden State's backcourt. Cleveland seems to have a few capable wing defenders that can funnel everything to their bigs.And the Cavs don't have Tony Allen
LeBron wasn't going to cancel out the fact that the Spurs sagged off Wade and allowed Bosh to shoot jumpers, rather than using his quicks in the post. Golden State is certainly putting up historic numbers, but I don't see them running Cleveland out the gym. Houston has been the same team all season, Memphis has been the same for quite a few years, great defense with not enough scoring.Yeah they had experience, but were also a much better team than Miami, but folks didn't want to acknowledge it because somehow LeBron is supposed to cancel out all of that. I'm not a huge metrics guy but by the numbers this is an all time great team in GS that LeBron will be going against, I think they'll be just fine in maintaining composure. They've done it for the majority of the year save 2 games in Memphis.
Exactly.1st I'm a Wizards fan. The point of my post wasn't to list every single change that the Cavs made but rather commend LeBron for 5 years of Finals trips and pointing out how his presence leaving and returning to Cleveland changed the franchise 2 times immediately.So the only change in the entire roster from those old Cavs teams is Lebron?
Lebron makes a difference no doubt, but the fanboys make it hard to cheer for him.
If you want to get technical then YES there have been roster moves. None of which are possible or take place without him returning.
It's easy to do that when they've played Boston, CHI and ATLCleveland as whole has played better defense than Memphis in the playoffs
Underrated post right there.http://niketalk.com/t/183864/laker-...-haters-unification-thread/1680#post_23361052jesus christ
these Lakers fan simply cannot hide their hate for Lebron
they cant just state the facts in their opinion
they have to put a little mustard on each and every line
Pot meet kettle.
Don't call people out on hating an athlete when you have a hundred posts in a hater thread. Just an FYI. Have a nice Memorial Day.
seasoned vet seem like he don't quite understand how the internet works

I'm sure it is with as many personnel changes as they've made throughout the year, especially considering the fact that they've had to completely change their identity in the midst of the playoffs.It's easy to do that when they've played Boston, CHI and ATL
They go from Love to TT, defensively, that's a plus moveI'm sure it is with as many personnel changes as they've made throughout the year, especially considering the fact that they've had to completely change their identity in the midst of the playoffs.
That's incredible.
Crazy that a GSW Finals trip would mean Steph beats out the rest of the All NBA First Team roster.
Have they really had to make that drastic of an adjustment in the playoffs though? Offensively they've been an iso centric team all year that's relied on LeBron and Kyrie to penetrate and either score or draw the defense in and kick it out to the plethora of shooters (Love, Shump, JR, Jones). Now with Kyrie out, the burden has fallen on LeBron mostly. And we all know they are a better defensive team without Kryie and Love on the floor. Tristan has been doing his thing on the boards throughout the year. Don't see this complete revamp that they've suddenly had to overcome all in the midst of going against teams in the playoffs who clearly have their issues on the offensive sides of the ball, not just against CLE either. Think you're giving their defense a little too much credit. They've not seen a juggernaut even close to what GS is going to throw at them.I'm sure it is with as many personnel changes as they've made throughout the year, especially considering the fact that they've had to completely change their identity in the midst of the playoffs.
It'll be by far the most impressive run I've seen outside of what Dirk did in 2011 going through Kobe, KD, and Lebron on the way to a chip only losing 3 games total in that stretch.
Steph gonna win the Championship by eliminating each of the 4 other members of the ALL NBA First Team from the Playoffs, win NBA MVP, Finals MVP, and set all sorts of 3pt records. Hot wife, hot mom. Winning all sorts of ways
Damn, I read other dudes in here saying Curry is having a LeBron-esque cake walk through the playoffs

I would invalidate pretty much all future basketball opinions of anyone who told me Steph and Co. are cakewalking through the playoffs.Damn, I read other dudes in here saying Curry is having a LeBron-esque cake walk through the playoffsIt'll be by far the most impressive run I've seen outside of what Dirk did in 2011 going through Kobe, KD, and Lebron on the way to a chip only losing 3 games total in that stretch.
Curry took an L with his wife, doe. Should have married his mom.

Just because they're making it look easy doesn't mean it is.
No chill
