Watching the video TA wasn't saying he didn't play defense, he was saying he couldn't play defense to the level of a DPOY because of his offensive workload. He used "hunted" wrong.

No because they were still short handed…Do you think the Warriors win if Kyrie & Love play?

cavs would have lost in 5 if they played
also, don't act like the cavs weren't a better team in 2016 when love was on the bench

Kyrie played the entire game 1 in 2015. The Cavs lost. All those games matter.

He played in OT, and the warriors were up and clearly closing the game out. They still won. Thats not a hypothetical lol
You and me both no that rosters on paper don’t = wins in series. It would’ve been more competitive for sure, no doubt. Still think everything evened out regarding injuries for those 2 series (15 & 16). Can’t use injuries in one series, and ignore the others.

Bogut was all defense in 2016 ….and Festus Ezili was closing out game 7
.Festus was out the league right after that series
. The point is, you can’t use injuries and hypotheticals for one…while ignoring the other. Keep it consistent.No excuses

When it comes to Bron, all context and nuance goes out the window.
Everything evened out with injuries
CLE 2nd leading scorer was Timofey Mozgov. Nevermind the fact that KLove got hurt in the 1st round by dirty *** Kelly O.
No one uses 2019 as a mark on Steph. Stop it.

LeBron hater/Jordan stan PR strategy when LeBron switches teams:
- Wait and see which team he switches too
- As soon as LeBron joins a team start calling that team "Super Team", including the Brandon Ingram-Lonzo Ball Lakers and never played a playoff game duo Kyrie Irving-Kevin Love Cavs.
- However as soon as you mention how LeBron's championship team "Super Teams" would beat Jordan's Bulls, those same "Super Teams" suddenly become very beatable and would get crushed by the Bulls
And I love how they act like LeBron is the only player to switch teams in this era. Shaq switched teams 4 times before LeBron did it once.
Here are some star players' franchises won with-franchises played for records since 2003-04, who have switched teams 3 or more times, aka "The Easy Way":
Kevin Durant: 1-5
Kawhi Leonard: 2-3
Shaquille O'Neal: 2-5 (2-6 over career)
Kevin Garnett: 1-3
Allen Iverson: 0-4
Dwyane Wade: 1-3
Ray Allen: 2-3 (2-4 over career)
Paul Pierce: 0-4
Tracy McGrady: 0-5 (0-6 over career)
Steve Nash: 0-3
Chris Paul: 0-7
Dwight Howard: 1-7
Kyrie Irving: 1-4
Westbrick: 0-6
Derrick Rose: 0-6
Paul George: 0-4
LeBron James: 3-3, so far
As you can see winning via "The Easy Way" is so easy that anyone can do it whenever they switch teams.

You can try to revisionize all you want, but those of us who know better know that Kobe was literally booed by Lakers fans at games after he demanded a trade from the Lakers.
The only reason he wasn't traded was because it was ultimately up to the Lakers whether he would get traded and not up to Kobe himself.
You can say Kobe never switched teams all you want (even though he was drafted by the Hornets), but I can say that LeBron never tried to switch teams by demanding a trade. I know which of the two is more honorable.
