Man, Crowder looks checked out!

not defending Crowder but once Vince is on...he takes the most ridiculous shots and they just go in like one-legged fade away, 3 pointer.

I've gained a lot of respect for Vince Carter over the last 4 years or so. I never liked him when he was in his prime. Overhyped and wanted to be a star but couldn't be a leader. But in the twilight of his career he transitioned to being a role player smoothly and did some nice things in Memphis on a small scale. He hasn't been a star for years but he seems to still like playing basketball and he can still help a team now and then.

All of that is to say, I'm happy for him.

Jae has always been a good - and at times VERY good - defender.

Vince had a great game. No worries for Jae.

CLE is trying to win BUT at same time trying to tread water for when "IF" they meet GSW - provided they get by US and TOR and perhaps WAS.

I can see them trotting out a Defensive lineup of

LeBron, Jae, Jeff Green, Wade and perhaps Thompson...when that lineup is engaged they are VERY good defensively.

Between now and June they will need to get Tristan ready for such a lineup, though - dude looked completely lost in the Finals last year.

Is it safe to say now that CBS made Crowder better?

Crowder came apart during the ECF, his lack of athleticism and his slow foot speed really became apparent. He can only guard slow bigs everyone else can torch him.

Last year he was arguably a top ten SF.  Now he’s not.

You act like he was playing at the same level last year that he is now.

Some people here, including prominent members, argued that THIS SEASON even while he was already playing bad.
