Kyrie Requests Trade from Cavs.

No.

Irving does not fit the Spurs style at all. He might actually hurt their offense and he ain't helping the D. Put a ball stopper as a primary option on a team with great ball movement and it usually doesn't work that well.

Also,

It is a rather large assumption to say the series would have gone 6-7. You don't know that.

There you go making sense again. Quit it.

I think a coach like Pop could make it work.....and let's not pretend like Irving is Melo......he has averaged 5.5apg for his career and averaged 5.8apg last season.

I don't think it is a large assumption. Spurs were going to win game 1 had Leonard not got hurt and my guess is they don't lose both home games with leonard playing. I think it goes 6 if Leonard doesn't get hurt. I do agree saying it goes 7 is a large assumption

But he is Melo. A guy who plays PG is likely to avg more APG than a guy who plays SF/PF so those assist numbers means nothing to me.

Saying I THINK it could have gone 6-7 is a lot different from saying it WOULD have.

Yes, the spurs could have won 2 games with Leonard. It is also possible GS still sweeps with him. THey can put up 20 point runs in no time at all, even against top teams. Game 1 was not over.

Sorry man. I'll stop.

Not at all. The Spurs had injuries and that prevented the series from being as good as it could have been. A lot of fans thought the same.

Right on.

Guys who have the ball a lot get assists. That doesn't mean they aren't ball stoppers.

Just don't see the warriors coming from down 23 with just over 19 minutes to go with Leonard in the lineup. Also let's not forget Leonard was destroying them. He had 26 in 24 minutes on 13 shots. Yeah highly doubt the Warriors come back to win the game if the best defensive team in the league had their best player who just happens to be the best perimeter defender in the league. Warriors were going to lose game 1.

Definitely would have been a better series. That doesn't mean SA wins more than a game.

I probably should have typed could have, instead of would.

Grammar nazis!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow......BKS siding with me.......must be a full moon tonight.

Should have typed could? Or COULD have typed Would?

Awwwww......the good life. Beer with home-made burgers on the grill, technically a grill mat. Easier cleanup.

Burgers made out of sirloin meat, not just ground beef.

The only reason I don't agree is because I watched the Warriors outscore the Spurs by 30 over a 15 minute span this year. That game was played in SA with Kawhi and without KD.

Spurs get the decisive advantage over GS if Irving joins bottom line. Especially if Parker takes a bench role with the 2nd unit its over and decides to stay on.

Leonard will only get better. Hes entering his peak. They got a 100x advantage inside. Warriors got NO HOPE against that. Unless they can somehow get some dominant BIG man. Which good luck since Curry is hogging a ton of payroll now with that new contract

Bully ball? I bet you are one of those guys at the YMCA that calls a foul when anyone barely touches you. Bully ball

10 teams today that play like the Showtime Lakers? Wow the lack of understanding here is beyond redonk


This is comedy gold here. Man.... the snowflakes these days. Don't even know that a hard foul is perfectly acceptable and part of the physical play in the game of basketball. Intimidation. Something many of these players today have no clue about. Which is why the center position isn't even relevant anymore.



Yeah I'm dick ridin the 80s Showtime Lakers because that's the first game I ever witnessed at the old Forum. No one was like the Showtime Lakers. Also dick ridin the 80s Celtics and those bullies. 90s Bulls why not they were ok and had a guy that could take any game over.

And you can throw in the late 80s Pistons too. Those guys were bullies. I love the game where Bird hit Lambier in the head with the bball. Players were a bit tougher no doubt.

Yes we know all this. This is your preference. Others have different preferences. Whatever.

You can say it 100 different ways, it still won't be true.

Well to be fair none of us "knows" anything, it's just bullshitting about sports.
