You apparently haven't been watching Warriors games, particularly McGee. He might've been the MVP for game 3 alone against the Spurs. He actually is a decent player when given a stable franchise.

When he's asked to only play to his strengths - which are to protect the rim & rebound - he's great. On this Dubs team he doesn't have any other responsibilities. His scoring is a bonus.

His role is the same as TT's on the Cavs. He seems to blossom at this role where he's not counted on to do anything offensively.

What JaVale does is more of what I would've hoped Bogut could do in terms of blocks & rebounds.

Should have told him to keep his fucking turrets outside of the classroom, then call him a fucking asshole.


Most people don't know this, but it's pretty rare for someone with tourrette syndrome to actually yell obscenities randomly, only about 1 in 10 people with turrets suffer from Coprolalia.

So if you've met someone with turrets, and they just start blurting out curse words or call you a fucking faggot, and they cover it up by saying they have turrets, they probably don't have Coprolalia and probably just actually think you're a fucking faggot.

many of the same people who said Kyrie was not even a top 6-7 point guard are now trying to say the Cavs are a super team.

I mean- at least try not to embarass yourself by totally contradicting yourself.

I cant say whether the Cavs are a super team or not until there is an actual definition of what a "super team" is.

Is it a collection of names? A collection of top 20 guys? A collection of guys that were or used to be all stars or all nba players? Is a team a super team because of their record?

is whereever LeBron plays a super team because he is just that good? Was OKC a super team with RW, Durant and Ibaka (when Ibaka was really good).

Until there is an actual definition that you can declare and a set of criteria- people will just continue to run their mouths and contradict themselves.

Hedge all you want.

The Cavs are a Super Team.

All these experts are wrong. But, you aren't?

DEFINITELY SUPER-TEAMS

2016-17 Golden State Warriors
Superstars: Stephen Curry, Kevin DurantStars: Klay Thompson, Draymond Green*

(*You can definitely make the argument for those two as superstars, I'm just playing it conservatively here.)

2014-16 Cleveland Cavaliers
Superstars: LeBron James
Stars: Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving

2003-04 Los Angeles Lakers
Superstars: Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, Gary Payton
Stars: None

2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers
Superstars: Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol*
Stars: None

(*Nash had slipped, but was still an incredible player coming off the 2012 season; the injuries hadn't really ruined him yet because he was still with Phoenix's magical training staff. Gasol was still considered one of, if not the best big man in the league at that point.)

2010-14 Miami Heat
Superstars: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade
Stars: Chris Bosh

2007-13 Boston Celtics
Superstars: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce*
Stars: Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo

(*Realistically this was only a super-team until about 2012 when they lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. What's interesting is that they were a super-team with the "Three Amigos" and then at the time when Allen started to slide with age, becoming just a spot-up shooter, Rondo emerged.)
