kyrie monetizing the brand lol

Rolls eyes at the flat earth

bron 10 fga thru 3Q setting over/under for fga in 4q at 8

remember when bron cldnt hit a shot outside 10 feet for a whole season

one thing to consider with love is it cld just be a different guy

I have a hard time believing all four of these people are Kevin Love@World_Wide_Wob @kevinlove pic.twitter.com/ssrCupZqXM

It’s crazy how good he is at that

still not convinced the cavs are much worse without kyrie but we won’t be able to judge until the finals

cavs big problem is that they have two above average defenders on the whole team, and they play the same position

theyre gonna have to score a ton of points in the playoffs their whole team is so exploitable

Brons usage goes up and that’s obv good but he got tired in the 2015 finals when he had to do it all

ppl gassed up on them winning a bunch of games in the nba doldrums with bron playing 37 a game is uh lol

i still believe in wade as a real playoff contributor

idk theyve got a lot of guys who cld go either way, they cld easily be out in the 2nd round

He’ll come up big in some games for sure.

IT, wade, jr, korver, crowder, bron, love, tristan, the reanimated corpse of jeff green... this is a better rotation than they were rolling out last year. not that they’ll beat the warriors so does it really matter but yeah.

its not lol

is there a such thing as a win/no loss trade?

Both teams only one time out left godbless

what are they looking at here lol?

when youre factoring jeff green continuing to play well into your projection might be time to........recalculate

its not lol

KD got away w one there

absurd no call

when youre factoring jeff green continuing to play well into your projection might be time to........recalculate

half of the players u listed cld very easily look unplayable in the 'offs

All this talk of love and he had to be sat down in crunch time of this game

durant getting away with whatever he wants on D lol

half of the players u listed cld very easily look unplayable in the 'offs

well they had kyrie too

Ugh this Jax and Jvg rant we get it dudes

well they had kyrie too

the thing abt IT is even if he does come back strong which is obvs a crapshoot is how do u defend kyrie with him on the floor

the celtics saw that matchup from the other side and immediately traded for kyrie lol

Can anyone guard kyrie tho?

not really but putting someone on him who cant defend anyone is prob not gonna work out great

celitcs start kyrie/brown who does IT defend raptors have drozen/lowery wizards have wall/beal its gonna be a tough playoffs for IT on that end

he kinda has to be throwing out multiple 40 point games a series like he was last year

For sure he’s a negative if he’s not balling out on offense

and then the rest of the cavs backcourt is also very bad defensively!

look cavs aren’t losing to the wizards or raptors lol

jr smith is a solid defender, wade could conceivably lock in for stretches in the offs

the cavs can lose to the raptors and maybe even wizards sometimes the wheels just fall off, and it always looks obvious in retrospect

like an old ass no defense team playing bron huge minutes and winning off some unexpected bounce back seasons, yeaaah
