Serious question: Who is Kevin Love going to guard? He doesn't have the foot speed to keep up with Green or KD. I don't see how he's plays big minutes in the series.
 
I can see the Cavs competing but have a hard time seeing them win, going to be fun this time around watching Kyrie v. Steph and Bron v. Durant considering their history. Benches for both teams going to be big

So Tristan Kardashian guards Draymond? :lol: Still doesn't work.

They were able to "hide" Love on defense by having him "guard" Harrison Bricks last year, but since he sucked it didn't matter.

Ain't like draymond Karl Malone or something. Lue seems to be comfortable with TT switching on guards so it only make sense to put him on the player who sets the screens the most in the high PNR

Love actually played good defense during the Finals last yr, I guess you forgot the play he was switched onto Curry on the perimeter. It was his offense that was nonexistence.
 
Cavs sat out their 3rd option last year and still won the game he was absent.

Warriors 3rd option last year was out a game and they couldn't win 1 game, even after he returned :nerd:
 
People keep mentioning klay I'm the same breath as hb is low-key annoying me. How many times we seen son be in a slump then just explode. The Cavs gotta be ******ed to try that hb defense on him, if anything let iggy shoot. Klay not gonna think twice and once he sees one drop it's RIP then u gotta chase curry and durant and horse mouth around. Klay gonna be ready, son had his best ppg this year and even in a slump is a huge threat.
 
Love will guard zaza or mcghee or west. And he is capable of keeping up with draymond green. He'll be on the bench or at the 5 against gsw small lineups

If you wanna be "low key annoyed" at anyone, be annoyed with klay himself. He's the one slumping in the playoffs.

I don't recall anyone saying leave that dude wide open.

I mean...dude is the one shooting 38% and 36% from 3 in the playoffs. HB like numbers so far if you ask me.

He was the best player in the league last regular season, no-one can really tell me any different honestly

Holy hell, I never thought about that. I vividly remember the 2012 Finals, thinking "Man, he's 0-2 already. Even if we give him a pass for the Spurs being ENTIRELY better than the 07 Cavs, last year, his Heat should have beat those Mavs last year. And now this Thunder team... man, is he gonna be 0-3? Is it just... is he gonna be like Stockton, Malone, Barkley, an all time great that just never 'did it'?"

I definitely remember. But the Heat did it... against a guy that now we're talking about the same way.

"Is he gonna be an all time great that just never 'did it'?"

Honestly for me the reason I don't think the cavs will win is one person. Steph Curry.

He played like **** in my eyes last year. I just don't see it happening again.

He has the ability to control a game and dictate the pace of the game. He's that good. So I lebron.

But I really don't see Steph messing this up again.

Kyrie better not outplay him. He's not better than him and I love kyrie.

Kyrie, JR, love, Tristan Thompson if they switch onto Him should NEVER be able to guard him. He's shredded much better defenders than that.

And with the help of KD and draymomd and the way golden state plays offensively and defensively. He gets it done this year.

Golden state in 5 games. Maximum 6.

Oh, that's gon' happen. I think the Dubs win in 6, but Lebron is going to have decent numbers (not terrible, but not phenomenal), and Kyrie is going to give Cheph Steph that work.
