uh-oh · 08-22-2017, 07:47 PM

Oh shitttttt

Getting crowder too hes a g.

Still not enough realistically tho. Still hype

08-22-2017, 08:07 PM

Are you implying that Thomas is better than Irving? @Innovator

Diode · 08-22-2017, 08:41 PM

Awful trade for Boston

Even worse for the Knicks but WHAT ELSE IS NEW

I didn't know they traded Bradley AND Crowder.

LMFAO Ok, I agree.

Finnydot · 08-23-2017, 04:39 AM

Ok... New perspective.

Kyrie, Hayward, Horford is STILL a good team tho. That's a REALLY good team matter of fact, IF they can play defense like they did last year (not happening since Crowder and Bradley are gone) but with Smart and Brown they could still be athletic enough on the wings to put pressure on shooters. Now, they just have to rebound and I don't think anyone on that team is a sure fire 8-9 RPG player.

They have a shoe-in for the 2nd seed tho. There's not another Big 3 in the East that can compete in a 82 game season. Not a horrible trade for $$ just not enough to beat Cleveland.

yo i don't follow basketball like that, i only watch cavs playoff games lol, so i know thomas is a G. but yo, is it crazy to think thomas' play style blends better with lebron? irving was dope but i always felt like he needed to be the man. it was never like him and lebron played seamlessly together, it was like either one of them would get hot at different times of the game and run the offense completely through them respectively. so they'd both drop 30, but it was never like a full effort as a team if that made sense.

so im thinking if thomas can handle facilitating the offense more and let lebron be more of a natural small forward they could indeed be better

the problem is the golden state super villain squad

i don't know if you beat them by trying to match them though. getting crowder helps. but i think cleveland needs an elite mauler grabbing boards. the only hope i see for anyone beating golden state is to limit their second chance opportunities almost completely, and then you still gotta play lights out offensively lol. but tristan thompson disappeared till the end of the finals last year, if he could get some help under the boards it would help the cavs more in my opinion than adding any more scorers

but either way the team as it sits still needs to get better

Finnydot · 08-23-2017, 04:27 PM

When y'all had Mozgov and Thompson y'all won. Coincidence?

Inno · 08-23-2017, 05:51 PM

All I know is wade needs to sign with Miami

Make things right again

08-23-2017, 08:07 PM

All I know is you need to vote on the finals for the tourny you failed on

Make things right again

Fart · 08-24-2017, 02:14 PM

Boston won. In the long run. A young talented G and F to build around?

Cleveland might take another L in the finals, but after this year...that team...man...LOL

Geno · 08-24-2017, 03:55 PM

If that's referring to Nerlens Noel then, duh. There have been multiple offers he's turned down but he's a restricted free agent. He's not going to get the max anywhere else, and cubes won't miss out on another athletic big. Hell match any offer, Now is just mad he's not getting any other offers.
