4th Quarter Russ has been out in full force. 2 points in 2 games while getting torched on D? Yup...

 

[theregothatman]

His 2nd and 3rd option on that better team had never been to the playoffs until he came back to Cleveland. How much better were they really

Stop!
Kevin Love was playing in the west which was loaded and the Cavs were tanking with young Kyrie

Doin it big fa da late Benson..history beby

Warriors are genuinely going to have a difficult time with NO and no Curry. AD has had a lot of great performances against them. Not going to be easy.

That said Warriors don’t run iso ball so the Pels D might not look as incredible as it did against Portland.

Playing in the West shouldn’t be an excuse for being an under .500 team which is exactly what the T-wolves were all 6 years Kevin Love was there and The Cavs had 3 number 1 overall draft picks in 4 years, 2 in back to back years after Kyrie’s rookie season. When was the tanking going to stop exactly? When they got Lebron back?....yes

David Stockton was borderline garbage at Gonzaga, let alone a 4 year NBA career. All the while my dudes like Vander Blue and GPII are God knows where..

Borderline garbage is putting it so mildly. He single handedly held that Zaga team back.

I mean kyrie on a different team had a better record than the Cavs this year. What point are you trying to make?

Lebron taught Kyrie how to be a leader/winner

Torched by Rubio nevertheless...who had a triple double without stat chasing and a W.

Except for the fact that they guy hated playing with him so he forced himself out. Kyrie was always going to be kyrie. Dont let playing with a bunch of lotto busts when he was 19, 20, and 21 change that.

If that's the case then Dwade taught lebron how to win.

Kyrie hated playing with Lebron?

Sounds like an ESPN narrative spin on the differences Kyrie’s father had with the Cavs Organization and Kyrie’s position. I’m sure they had there differences but Lebron took Kyrie on one of the most historic NBA journeys of all time. Why would Kyrie “hate” that?

And yes, D.Wade did teach Lebron how to win.

I mean he did say he didn't want to play with lebron anymore. Words from his mouth not ESPN.

Maybe due to the fact that Lebron gets all the credit when they were winning and when they lose, it's always he needs more help. Every.Single.Year. I'd hate getting constantly steamrolled as well.

GOOD MORNING LIL HOODRATS

Its crazy how Melo is only a year older than Lebron and he looks so much more washed.

Genetics

And just the overall difference between someone who’s taken the utmost care of their body and who hasn’t

Actually those words were from Brian Windhorst (who works for...) Kyrie was never quoted as saying that. Regardless not wanting to play with Lebron anymore doesn’t mean he hates Lebron. Does Lebron hate D. Wade? Kyrie wanted to have more of a leadership role which is admirable and should be commended but until Kyrie wins another championship and beats a 73-win team or better to do it, his legacy will forever be tied to Lebron James.

“Bring him to camp,” James told the Cavs. He was confident he could repair whatever damage Irving felt was done to their relationship. But Irving made clear to Gilbert and the Cavaliers he wanted out of Cleveland because he did not want to play another minute with James, one source told The Athletic. Given how close Irving and James were to the ends of their contracts, the Cavs chose to move Irving while they believed he still had peak value.”

Why would lebron go to those lengths if that wasn't the situation?

I always used to laugh whenever people would say Melo’s game would age better than Bron because he could shoot better than Bron .

At the wing/guard positions....Unless you are a generational shooter (Curry/Redick) or a once in a lifetime athlete (Bron/Kobe etc)....you will regress sharply in your mid 30s.

What Chris Paul has been able to do at 33 is just as impressive as Bron this year to me. Chris Paul is the average man (athletically and physically)....playing elite basketball this far into his career with sheer skill. Amazing
