Well, you kind of get the answer to that since he's playing with Durant lol

Bron is like a Durant\Dray hybrid of passing, scoring, defense....

Minus the shooting.

Looks like Lowry's out for a few weeks due to an injured wrist. the Raptors have been playing better as of late but this isn't good for a team that could be the #2 seed if everyone's healthy.

Bron is obviously better than Durant, but Durant is on a super stacked team now

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

His #'s are worse with durant so i am not sure why it would be any better with lebron.

Dray is the playmaker.

Lebron is the best player in the NBA.

SO, YEAH...he's currently better all around.

But, let's not act like Durant is not elite.

I still find it funny that a team with Durant, Westbrick and Harden couldn't win

If Durant loses this year he will have lost with more all-stars than any player in history lol

Thankfully James back.
Need Cavs to knock off Heat contenders.

Hopefully Beasley plays well.

What's so funny about it? Harden was obviously not the player he is now. He was a bench player getting bench minutes. Also those 3 guys all need the ball in their hand to be successful. It's pretty easy to see why they did not win.

And gets gets injured.

These guys played 3 years together. Harden was not really good until their final year and they happened to make the finals that year where they matched up with a better 3 players in Miami. Don't see what's so funny. Players rarely are stars in their 1st two seasons in the league leading their teams to championships.

Still belongs to lebron

Cavs have played GS twice

Once without Kyrie and love and it went 6

2nd with kyrie and love and they won in 7

GS would have no championships if love and Irving played.

That's so fucking stupid.
Cavs won, but come on.
It was a 2 minute series that could have easily went the other way.

We'll just ignore the fact that the Dubs were up 3-1 and would have won in 5 had Draymond not gone all UFC on Lebron right?

It was on their home court, how many visiting teams win game 7 on the road?

You have to be significantly better to win a road game 7

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Beasley knee out for game+
Can just focus on Heat now.

 

[lebron23james]

We'll just ignore the fact that the Dubs were up 3-1 and would have won in 5 had Draymond not gone all UFC on Lebron right?

Would have? Lol

He played games 6 and 7, why didn't they win those?

Dude, Harden wasn't HARDEN then.

He wasn't even a full time starter.

 

[bksballer89]

There's a difference in being up 3-1 with game 5 being at home and zero pressure. Game 6 was a road game so that was always going to be tough. Cleveland is a damn good team so beating them twice in Cleveland was always going to be tough. Game 7 is game 7. Lots of pressure on both teams. And there is also something calls momentum. If you can't realize that Draymond suspension changed the whole momentum of the series then you're just a retard. No other way around it.

Im not even going that far.
I personally think Warriors spent way to much energy / emotion chasing the 72.
I said it at the time.
Compounded it in OKC series.
Then stupidly thought it was over at 3-1.
But, thats just opinion.
Cavs won, just like Warriors did the previous season.
Im not diminishing either.

Dude is a clown. I don't know why I'm wasting my time
