Why, cause you said so? LeBron has always played well with scoring PGs. You need to get that hate our your heart, you too strong of a woman to let a man like Bron get you down :hubie:

When has anyone ever averaged that playing with Bron?

Kyries a far better scorer than IT, IT won't average more than 22ppg. Ain't nobody hating on that nikka. Y'all foolish thinking IT is an upgrade.

Nobody will know til a year from now.If i.t.& lebron bounce and that nets pick isn't top 5 cavs didn't win.

celtics won for not maxing a 5'9 liability and got a younger pg who is offensively a problem.Boston still needs a big(5)

If IT was even 6 ft, he would've never been traded. And truth be told, he would've probably never been a Celtic.

...and a for sure lottery pick. I remember when that draft happened and there was a question on another board about who were the biggest sleepers in that draft and I said IT was going to really surprise people and be a good player. I thought he was a special player. However, I didnt think he would be an All-NBA player that avg 28ppg. Never saw that coming.

Brooklyn is putting out a better team this year than last year, while other teams have taken steps to be worse than brooklyn this year. Brooklyn is actively trying to get better while under pick probation

I agree that they are moving in the right direction and have some nice young talent to work with but I still dont see the wins with that team which is a lot of guys who never played together before. Levert and Crabbe need breakout season too.

Cavs will still make the finals, yes, but they're a worse team
Wouldn't be so sure about that. Jae Crowder actually gives them a defender at that small forward position, and Kyrie vs. Isaiah (both healthy) isn't a bigger difference than that addition. Derrick Rose replacing Deron Williams, Jeff Green (presumably) taking some minutes, on paper the Cavs should be better than they were last season, even though I agree that Kyrie is a better player than Isaiah. They're still not better than the Warriors, but they're still ahead of everyone else in the league.

Smart has guarded Millsap. That's the only 4 he's done well against. Bradley was their best defender and Smart is a liability on the other end of the floor being one of the worst shooters in the league. Hayward is nowhere near the defensive player Crowder is. Morris isn't consistent from 3 either. Kyrie is best in iso situations and isn't exactly willing passer and Hayward isn't some generational offensive threat.

Spoken like a true casual.

You got this though...:hubie:

A layup and a turnaround fadeaway are both worth 2 points.

Flashier =/= better.

TYRONE GA!
Boston showing how racist it is. Burnin jersey of a man who played his heart out for you after his sister died. They would never do this to a white star. Kyrie enjoy your new plantation.

Why burn the jersey of a dude who had no say so in the trade? :wtf:
