i disagree
kyrie was playing tremendous defense game 1...
yes love defense sucks but on small ball you can put him at the 5.. i have no worries of him on green but green would be out of the paint..
you can put love in when Lee is on the floor..
you can rotate Ky-shump-Delly on curry
you can rest lebron so he can actually play defense and not conserve energy
defense crumbled in the 4th.. how is that playing better defense? because on stretches they had their best defense on the floor?
why settle for stretch of defense when you can all all game long defense?
they had to use their 4th quarter defense the whole game.. sure it LOOKED more defensive but really the defense was defeating themselves.
what if?We can play the what if game all day long, the only SURE thing we know is that GS WON the one game in which Kyrie played (and actually had a big game). Let's make sure we keep that in mind.
TBH I think Cleveland discovered their true identity when Love went down. Depth is important and Love is no bum, but in this particular case I'm not positive that he would've been a game-changer against this GS team. Most of Green's attacks are off the pick and roll, and Mozgov/Thompson just had to wait for him in the paint with their size/muscle. Imo he would've steam-rolled over Love.
what if?
their is no what if in my words..
its what can... as in.. what can we do with love and kyrie on the floor..
we can play a deeper offense AND defense
cleveland already had that identity they used it many times in 4th quaters when the game was on the line..
GSW won.. we all know that.. but they beat a beat up team.. we also all know that


that wont be forgotten, this finals was ok I guess, but the most special thing that will be remembered is Lebron just balling out, but coming up short. The bay area is one of the most expensive places to live, would have been nice that a sh*t hole like Cleveland got something good to happen to them.kyrie's knee
love's shoulder
shump's shoulder
cavs undermanned.
i know it sucks but... no competitors should enjoy winning without beating a team at it's best
and on top they ducked the thunder purposely...
added bonus.. Green was allowed to maul people on defense to a point they just stopped complaining.
GSW got a giftwrap chip..
how are they going to deal with next year?
when all PG from small market will pull the delly defense to get some shine?
when every game thats not a home game next year will be like a play off game?
curry got expposed breh.. if the team didnt run out of energy.. curry would probably average 16-18 ppg
67 is going to turn to 55-58 next.. i would love a rematch.. but i think thunder is going to make it
@ david blattIt's what if when you say what you can do with players who were not there. We saw what happened when Kyrie played : Cavs lost
Beat up teams get beat everyday breh![]()


bro.. if they dont keep shumpert.. i will be madI think OP is right though, Mavs finals win was epic, they beat a loaded healthy Miami big 3 team, Dirk is a legend, got his ring, they won in 7? i cant remember, I just remember it was an epic finals. The heats back 2 back was classic, because it was bron getting his first 2 rings, the Spurs did Lebron dirty last yearthat wont be forgotten, this finals was ok I guess, but the most special thing that will be remembered is Lebron just balling out, but coming up short. The bay area is one of the most expensive places to live, would have been nice that a sh*t hole like Cleveland got something good to happen to them.
Shump is so terrible, when he was on the floor it was 5 on 4, digusting![]()

amazing defense and spot up 3s.. i dont want more fro him.


At the same time that's the reason after the finals most people focused on bron then blatt
And now the draft and free agencycavs shouldnt count on shump to bail them out...I respect you like his game, but I hate shump, he should have hit the shot at the end of game one to finish it off, he was worthless in the finals, maybe its his shoulder, but I've never been impressed with him.

Quit mentioning the thunder, they ain't never won sh!t and they won't win sh!t with a hobbled durant

feel to it.Them nikkas had 3 allstars, maybe even 3 hall of famers and couldn't get the top seed in the east. Nobody said shyt about how Cleveland got to the Finals with Paul George and Chris Bosh being out.It's what if when you say what you can do with players who were not there.

fukk dat, Dan Gilbert doesn't deserve a ring after the shyt he said. It wouldn't be right if he ended up with a ring before the Bay did. Dude is a POS.I think OP is right though, Mavs finals win was epic, they beat a loaded healthy Miami big 3 team, Dirk is a legend, got his ring, they won in 7? i cant remember, I just remember it was an epic finals.
