Kevin Love played 4 games in the playoffs in 2015, don't think he really mattered that year. Everyone says that, but he's not truly ball dominant like that, he was more so this year because Thibs wants him to be more of a playmaker, but his game is really a solid fit for playing off ball.

If they don't need a wing who will take up possessions, why exactly is everyone saying they need Paul George.

Paul George because of where he's at in his career and his skillset. He's a great 3pt shooter, and elite defender. No one could say that about wiggins as a rookie. Now a 28 year old wiggins that would be different.

We're not talking about a 28 year old Wiggins though, the Cavs won the title last year with Love averaging 8.5ppg on 36% and the series swung their way when RJ got playing time because the Cavs needed more wing players to matchup.

They won their championship, but they may have been in this position regardless since it's pretty clear the heart of the Cavs is Kyrie/LeBron. They made it to the finals with Love playing 4 playoff games in year 1, they won the title with him missing a game which forced Lue to insert another SF into the lineup with LeBron and when he did play he averaged 8.5ppg on 36%. Everyone is now saying they need a wing player to matchup with the Warriors, they had one though, they just never gave it a chance to even see how they looked together.


I'm a big proponent of keeping flexibility that comes with having players on rookie contracts (@houston911 as well), and I fully understand why the Celtics aren't trading their young guys fro PG / Butler.
No one saw the Warriors coming for them to not make that trade. Getting Love was the right decision since the Spurs was looking like the leaders in the west, especially after how they smoked the heat in 5 games.

I don't think it was the right decision, I didn't think it was at the time, even when they won the title Love had so little impact outside of 1 play. They should have at the very least see what Wiggins looked like with LeBron + Kyrie and made their decision based on that.

The Celtics made the right decision not trading the pick for Butler/George.

Bringing in perimeter stoppers like a Tony Allen would be a viable option. Klay and dray with Durant on the team are side kicks and have a hard time getting going. You plug in a guy like Tony Allen for 20-25 minutes a game and maybe he can get key stops for you on Durant and Curry. Offense isn't gonna beat these warriors. If Cavs had a guy like Tony Allen maybe Durant doesn't hit those dagger threes in game 3 and game 5 and the series could of been different.

How old is tony allen?

:philjacksonlol::philjacksonlol:

nikka no you didn't sunc00n me with Knicks AV/SN combo...should change that to Knicksrapecity with the way you nikkas losing.

Maybe they should hire Phill Jackson..or scoop up Porzingis since he's already decided he wants out of that hell hole.
