I think you'll find it's YOU who doesn't understand what's going on. You went from 'they'll be playing LeBron at the 4 from now on' to 'Lue wants to play small ball but he can't'. Just take your L and live to fight another day.

:manny:
This is why you're a bytch. You take this shyt so seriously that you'll even lie to try and "win" a bullshyt sports argument. I never said what they would do. I simply spoke on what Lue reportedly intends on doing. I even provided the exact quote that I was referring to.
You're probably the only one who believes that dumb shyt tho. You literally live in your own head.

The Cavs shuffled their lineup again in what could be a significant step toward the postseason. Iman Shumpert started in place of Kevin Love, who was resting.

Cavs coach Tyronn Lue indicated, however, Shumpert's move into the lineup is long term. When Love returns Saturday night against the Boston Celtics, he will likely be at center. The Cavs have used the three-guard look to close games before; now they're going to start with it.

The Cavs have every intention of playing small going forward and that means Lebron at the 4. You're arguing with your damn self.
I used the word "intention" for a reason. I knew good and damn well that in order for the them to play small that they'll have to bench Love and was wondering how they were going to handle that. So while Lue wants to play small with the 3 guards and Lebron at the 4 he's kind of handcuffed with Love on the roster. That's why I said that they'd be better off with Wiggins instead of Love. Without being forced to have Love out there starting they could play small starting Bron at the 4 whenever they wanted. They can't do that now because Love has to play 4. He simply can't play the 5. If he can then why aren't they playing small with him at the 5? Everybody has let it be known that they like the small 3 guard lineup with Bron at the 4 so why haven't they gone ahead with their INTENTION to adjust their starting lineup? I just told your stupid ass why.

@holidayinn21 or anyone else watching the Griz regularly, why are the Griz playing better without Gasol? or are they just beating up on bad teams?
80% beating bad teams. This was the first win against a legit team all year. The record against winning teams has been awful all year.

20% Gasol grinding everything to a halt. He gets the ball and looks to "make the right play", instead of being aggressive and playing free. What we lost in defense and rim protection(which is on the decline), we've improved in offensive freedom, for lack of a better term.

The only one that's lying is you. And stop saying it's a quote - what you referenced is not a quote from Lue.

This is why I can tell you don't watch Cavs games, at all. They still go small during the game - they've been playing small ball in spurts all throughout the season. And not only do they ball small ball during games, but Love is integral part when they try to build offensive rhythm or exploit a weakness in the defense. Love at the 5 (or 4), allows Bron to post up without being hounded by a help defender (which happens if Tristan is at the 5). Lue is not handcuffed by having Love on the roster, it only adds a different and greater spacing-look for any small ball lineup he uses.

I don't know what added value Wiggins is suppose to provide in small ball lineups when he needs the ball in his hands, can't catch-and-shoot and can't stretch the floor out to the 3-pt line.
Without being forced to have Love out there starting they could play small starting Bron at the 4 whenever they wanted.
What in the fukk are you even talking about here? Breh, you're absolutely clueless. I'm sorry but there's no other way of saying it.
They can't do that now because alone had to play 4. He simply can't play the 5. If he can then why aren't they playing small with him at the 5? Everybody has let it be known that they like the small 3 guard lineup with Bron at the 4 so why haven't they gone ahead with their INTENTION to adjust their starting lineup?

They have been playing him at the 5 on occasion with a mixture of Kyrie, Delly, JR, Shumpert and LeBron partnering him in the frontcourt.

I really believe if LAC had dealt Blake and Lance to the Hawks for some type of package like Millsap, Bazemore, Sefolosha, Scott and Mack, they'd be a legit threat to GS this year.
