Whether that may be true or not, you can't use DRTG/ORTG and NRTG in that manner. Sample size is far too small and both teams don't play the same competition. The main reason the Cavs have the third best DRTG, isn't because they've had the third best defense (or are the third best defensive team) in the playoffs. It's because almost all the other teams' DRTGs have been affected by playing against either the Cavs or the Warriors offenses, respectively. It's the reason why teams like the Jazz are ranked 10th out of 16 in the playoffs in DRTG, but were ranked 3rd out of 30 in the regular season. It's not because their defense lost their abilities or structure, it was because it was affected by playing the Warriors offense in 4 of their 11 Playoff games.

shyt the Raptors had the second best DRTG after the first round (100.7 against the Bucks, and were one of the best defensive teams in the RS), but then had a 118 DRTG in the Cavs series.
I'm talking the measuring stick you use for the cavs. What way would you do it.

LeBron needs to come home.

Whenever my hair gets to that level, it's coming off immediately. Not that far away tbh :mjcry:

he made the biggest adj of playing rj for love...that along with the adjustments you said (mozgov was hurt, that's why he didnt play), whether you agree with how he did them or not, the cavs won the ring, so they worked...which goes along with me saying he's willing to make the adjs that are necessary....
My thing is, he doesn't make the adjustments until his back is basically getting forced thru the wall. A great coach can get punched then bounce back, Lue has to get suplexed thru hell in the cell to get a grasp of what he should to do

nikka was befuddled when IT went down and admitted he wasn't prepared.

I'm not completely knocking him....it just shows how much he still needs to learn as a head coach.

I don't know what to think, logic says the Warriors in 5 or 6 but I thought they would win pretty easily last year too. After last year, I wouldn't be surprised with any outcome, just off the strength of how great LeBron is. Also, I haven't been a Kyrie fan but he impressed me the last 2 games of the ECF and Love has been on fire.

I hope it goes 7

I'm pleasantly surprised by the current poll results. I expected most people to ride with Golden State.

Do it again for the Land. East side, we out here :blessed:
