LOL.  What a fool.  I guess we should offer up IT for Tristan Thompson. That would solve our big man problems.  I guess Tristan is better than Horford too?

Geez.  The love-fest for the Cavs continues.  What a joke.

Ya think maybe Love and Tristan look just a bit better because Bron is getting all the attention? Legler is a tool.

Good. More motivation for the team to prove the media wrong

You can argue 2, maybe 3. But 4? Thompson is an all-star now?

They may have the best three players in the series, but Thompson is not the fourth under any criteria.

That said, he is a player who would fix our problems inside as a rim protector...until the Croatian beast arrives  8)

This was true last night because Crowder was better than IT.

I like Legler.  He played in the league and that perspective shows.

However, that statement is ridiculous.

While I like Legler in general, I do not agree with this. Even if he meant the last game, Kyrie didnt do much.

Well, that was the case last night. That's for sure.

Eh. We are still collecting on the BKN trade. But so far, we have been screwed... where's our 3 #1 picks in 4 years?  And if LeBron hasn't had so much as an ankle sprain in 14 years, I feel like KG could still be dominating as a Celtic with the right PED cocktail.

Who can blame him...we had no answer to TT.

And until we solve our rebounding problems then that statement holds true in this series alone not necessarily league wide. Their 4 players in that starting line up is enough to make a mockery of our top 7 players so even if many of you will disagree his bold statement still has merits. W have never had any answer against TT until last night when I saw a burly 6 foot 3 guard try to keep him off the offensive glass and was actually successful at it.

Well he got you to talk about the nonsense he said, didn't he?

He's actually correct, until proven otherwise... the qualifier is "in the series". This is a matchup league and in this particular series, if it plays out as dictated last night, then it would be hard to argue against his statement.

In the Chicago series, Gerald Green was better than Jae Crowder... the statement wasn't anything emotional just a fact if we can't properly matchup. In Game 7 at Washington, KO was better than Horford. A series is 4 - 7 games long, to say "best in the series" is not an overall indication of ability.

Because truth be told... I'm missing Sully right now.
