Tristan Thompson is def a hustle and hard work type of big man...thats how he gets his points and rebs, he's become a solid rotation player ...wasnt worth a top 5 pick but its the Cavs
Bennett is far more skilled but you can depend on consistent production/effort from TT on a regular basis

Last night was not the BEST game EVER. Hence, overreacting. And he's not the first player ever that's been a great all around player, he is the first to stay THIS healthy though. There is a such thing as a middle ground.

i know yall cats hate to admit it up here for some reason but Bron is a machine. dude does everything on the court i mean everything. only person ive ever seen play like him and im 29 is Magic (i mean at this dominate level), and really i cant count Magic bc i caught the very end of his career.

Who's denying that he's a machine or that he does everything though? Instead of that though it's no one can ever do what he has ever done. Seriously? I mean Grant Hill in his second year put up 20, 10, and 7 with a steal and almost a block a game. Scottie was guarding the 1-4 in the BEST big man era ever. So yea he's a machine and yes he's amazing all around but the hyperbole is the problem. Again why I said overreacting

there's no denying that lebron is the best all around player in the game today but its funny when people think he can guard any position, any half decent PF would dominate him in the post. he cant even guard hibbert let alone a better offensive center like bynum, dwight, cousins, brook
just because miami plays small ball and is forced to make lebron guard post players doesnt mean he can guard post players

To me, Lebron is the most versatile defender since Pippen.
Of course he can't match up with all 4s/5s, but in certain situations, he can....and that's something that you can't say about 99% of the league. He's got a unique skill-set that allows him to do this.

Win or lose I would have loved to be at that game, it was a thriller. I was yelling at the screen.

Cavs this is the worst in years, we all know MIke Brown is trash, but this team has no heart, Kyrie thinks he really is Uncle Drew out there and that's all he cares about, Waiters/Tristan, SMH, I don't get why Mike Brown and Grant have not been let go yet. Lets get a top 3 pick, and try this again.
On paper this team seems like a def playoff seed, All star PG, Andy V a rebound machine, Deng, Jack a solid bench player, Waiters can drop 14-15, and Tristan is avg a double-double, but with lack of teamwork/effort, they are bums.

I hope Cavs fans are mentally preparing for Kyrie to bounce. Ain't no way he's staying in Cleveland.

he's definitely one of the better guys to be put into this position. can't take that away from him. He's a 6'9, damn near 300 pound, beast.
but I think the way the media/general followers of the NBA play this up so much is a bit overhyped. Scrawny *** KD guarded Marc Gasol all series in teh playoffs last year. I've seen guys in the past like Jason Kidd not be pedestrian against positions all the way up to the 4/5 in PnR situations. There are more people that can do it, Lebron is just on a team where he has to do it with some sort of consistency. Same with his "facilitating" and "passing" abilities.
