He's my favorite. If Isaiah Thomas could average 29ppg and win 50 games with that cast, Kyrie is good for a nice 33ppg season and 55 wins.

Kyrie will be the MVP. Boston will be the #1 seed. Again.

1.How come you idiots keep talking about Bron ball as if Cleveland didn't have one of the greatest offenses last season ?

2.How come you idiots keep taking about Bron ball as if Kyrie didn't have his best offensive season ?

3.How come you idiots keep talking about Bron ball as if Love didn't average 20p/11r ?

4.How come you idiots keep talking about Bron ball as if Cleveland hasn't made the finals every season since Lebrons return ?

5.How come you idiots are saying IT won't get his shots with Lebron when Irving averaged more shots than Lebron last season ?


The way you guys talk about Lebron,you would think he's taking 25 shots per game,and leads the league in usage rate.

Usage rate last season
1. Russell Westbrook • OKC 41.7
2. DeMarcus Cousins • TOT 36.5
3. DeMar DeRozan • TOR 34.3
4. James Harden • HOU 34.2
5. Isaiah Thomas • BOS 34.0
6. Anthony Davis • NOP 32.6
7. Damian Lillard • POR 31.5
8. Kawhi Leonard • SAS 31.1
9. Kyrie Irving • CLE 30.8
10. John Wall • WAS 30.6
11. Stephen Curry • GSW 30.1
12. LeBron James • CLE 30.0
13. Dwyane Wade • CHI 29.6

Field Goal Attempts
1. Russell Westbrook • OKC 1941
2. Andrew Wiggins • MIN 1570
3. DeMar DeRozan • TOR 1545
4. James Harden • HOU 1533
5. Anthony Davis • NOP 1526
6. Damian Lillard • POR 1488
7. Karl-Anthony Towns • MIN 1480
8. Isaiah Thomas • BOS 1473
9. Kemba Walker • CHO 1449
10. Stephen Curry • GSW 1443
11. C.J. McCollum • POR 1441
12. John Wall • WAS 1435
13. DeMarcus Cousins • TOT 1432
14. Devin Booker • PHO 1431
15. Kyrie Irving • CLE 1420
16. Carmelo Anthony • NYK 1389
17. Klay Thompson • GSW 1376
18. Paul George • IND 1348
19. LeBron James • CLE 1344



Kyrie had a higher usage rate and attempted more shots than Lebron.Thomas will get his shots.

Every elite scorer is good for 33 ppg if you fukk up the team and let him score at will :mjlol: efficiency would be embarrassingly bad though

celtics drafted tatum who is capable of scoring, signed hayward who is offensive player

thomas last year was the only legit scorer

celtics right now have more scorers plus if brad stevens is smart he will be molding those rookies I'm talmbout Tatum and Brown, they can really do some damage in the future.

How much defense did the Celtics lose ?

its more of where they lost it. they lost perimeter/wing defense. Kyrie will need help. Smart gives you a lot on defense but he is an offensive liability. with Bradley and Crowder you get good perimeter defense and shooting.

Not the same cast. Hayward just put up 22 PPG on the slowest team in the league. IT had no one close to that caliber to play with. Tatum alone is a better scorer than anyone who was on the team last year.

IT probably gonna walk in the offseason with LeBron. :dead: If Brooklyn doesn't suck this year, this trade is a L for Cleveland

That said, they can match Golden's Green center lineup now with Love at 5 and James at 4.

personally I just dont see how Brooklyn is not going to suck.

Tatum is a rookie

Tatum avg 17 points in college last year

Brandon Ingram at Duke put up better numbers and could only muster up 9 points on 40 percent shooting as a rookie, it takes time to adjust to the NBA


Tatum alone is a better scorer than anyone who was on the team last yea

The most important thing people are not talking about with this trade is......Lebron will finally get rest in the finals,and during the regular season.Crowder is the most underrated part of this trade.

And for God's sake,can we please stop it with the Carmelo Anthony going to the cavs talk ?...Lebron is not playing the PF position

The cavs don't need Wade or Anthony.What they need is a rim protector.
