Kyrie has been a disaster. Horribly inefficient on offense, pathetic on defense. If LeBron wants to stay in Cleveland, I'm not sure he's going to want Kyrie to stay.


What can they do, blow it up? Does LBJ want that?

Blow it up? I'm talking about trading one player.


Just wondering who that one player is?

This is a perfect example of, sometimes having "stars" isn't enough. Chemistry, balance, and character also play a part.

The Cavs will rebound in Cleveland, but they don't have the team to beat the Warriors.

Excellent post. That sums it up well. Its a resurgence of team basketball and old school basketball values. The era of the superstar that Jordan brought on has reached its slow death.

Still think the Cavs will win 1 in Cleveland. Gentleman's sweep.

Same. LeBron is too good to be swept.

Kyrie I can imagine. Cleveland made a huge mistake trading Wiggins for Love though, and singing Thompson to a max deal. Wiggins would have been a huge help for Lebron, and could have gradually taken over the reigns as Lebron got older. Instead they got an overrated injury prone wuss who is less useful than the bench warmer they gave a max deal to.

Keep Love? I don't know if LaBron can live with that.

So GS is basically completely dominating so far.  Home and away.  Hopefully GS is smart enough to play the next game like it's the series.

It's about bloody time.  That guy ruined the game.

Btw, who shot JR?  It's like he isn't even out there.

3 teams have come back from losing the first 2 on the road in the finals to win the series.

69 Celtics
77 Blazers
06 Heat

So the Cavs have that going for them i guess.

Their entire supporting cast is not championship level.
Smith is not a starter on a championship team, maybe even a playoff team.
Delly is 3rd string .

so far i am a happy camper and even my predictions on love and kyrie defense sucking has come true.

by the way, i missed most of the game, why did love only play 20+ minutes? did they simply pull his weak butt out or is he injured?

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I believe Bron on the Celtics or Raptors makes a better team than the Cavs.

Cavs have individual talent .....but sorry team chemistry
