    I made my point already + roles changing,less fga's and other variables factor in to who will outscore who in the future love cannot defend gasol on the block period,there's no need to go on and on for pages arguing with a non cavs fan.It must suck having to dickride other squads in the same conference your team plays in cuz your squad is trash and irrelevant to championship conversations.At least you can wait for 'phil da gawd' to trade up for another 2nd round pick or make another irrelevant transaction for your thirsty fanbase to get hyped about

    Duke was dickridin the nets in the '13 playoffs too you see how that worked out

    So ? can't discuss other teams now?

    I dickride the Cavs of all teams? I don't say ? to you when you do your annual clipper slobbing.

    And you a Cubs fan, breh. If anyone should know better than to pop that you need championships to engage in conversation ? it should be you. Stop it.

    You ? acted like me saying Cavs vs Bulls front court was closer than it seems was blasphemous.

    I then presented several facts & asked you all an A, B & C question.

    Not one person has answered those A, B & C questions yet.

    And yet again you're trying to imply that 2014 Gasol is better than Love without explicitly stating.

    And yo

    140302052638338216.jpg

    who gave yall creative license to keep talkin about Taj Gibson like he's about to be a breakout star. The ngga is almost 30. Came into the league at 24. He is and wil be what he is: a back up power forward. He's not turnin up. Stop that.

    Since when do you have to have 12 stars on your team to win a championship? Who is even saying he's a star? What I can say is on one side where Kevin Love is poor Taj Gibson is elite, and when the games actually matter and Taj is covering Love your not going to see those stats your so infatuated with

    Kinda feel sorry for Wiggins, he had to go through this whole process with a team that didn't want him from the lottery. Cavs wanted Embiid, if he didn't get hurt he would of been the pick. And since the draft he was gonna be traded at some point. Bron didn't even wanna talk to dude, and he found out he was getting traded by a reporter today.

    We'll be straight, I want to wait to see if anymore moves will be made before I comment on the squad but there's a lot more to look forward too this year than last, you can look at it like we have a cluster ? in the backcourt or you can look at it like we have a talented as ? backcourt, it's our frontcourt I'm more worried about, if Sully can hdndle more minutes and KO makes huge strides like I think he will...i won't say it but we'll be straight

    don't feel sorry for him

    he's young, rich, #1 overall pick, wit hella potential

    the only bad things are that he doesn't get to play wit and learn from the best player in the league and he doesn't get to play wit a contender from day 1

    Billups met with The Cavs, Gawd Damn Cleveland trying to get everybody

    Cleveland is going to be such a good regular season team I can't wait

    That frontline is suspect and that's with love.You got the bulls winnin the east?

    Well yea they arent 6 deep at the 4 and 5 like the Bulls

    jaguars-fan-confused-wtf.gif

    Aint that many minutes to go around. Yall gon have problems w/ that. Cleveland-

    Varajao/Haywood
    Love/Thompson

    Bron/Marion (small ball 4)

    Only question is Haywood, havent seen him play in a minute. If he is what he used to be thats all they need from him. Most nights they'll play mostly w/ Love at the 5 and Thompson or Bron at the 4. Ngga they good.

    So explain the difference between clevelands frontcourt and

    Noah/Taj
    Gasol/Taj/Mirotic

    Lol @ the bolded that interior defense will be worst than miamis was.You think you know but have no idea what you be talkin about.You're just enamored wit big names like all casual fans are

    Well first off the frontcourt includes the 3. And cleveland has that guy. That means "Mcbuckets", who cant play the 4 b/c yall are so deep, will get the 'come sit next to me' treatment vs Cleveland

    But lets say if you mean to say the 4/5.

    The interior defense, NOT REBOUNDING (there's a difference) may be a problem. Ok, and? Who's out there to capitalize on that? For yall, Gasol somewhat, but Varajao is more than a competent defender. And its not like Gasol is turnin the clock back and goin off. And as far as drives to the bucket, DRose the only guy yall have to do that!

    That leaves Noah and Gibson in the post. Umm, ok, since when did they become world beaters on offense. Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Haslem locked them up in 2012 playoffs. Dont make me post them playoff stats for Noah like i did before. Aint nobody worried about Noah and Gibson scoring. Its the rebounding, there's a difference. And Love (12rpg), Varajao (10rpg in 28mpg), and Thompson (9rpg in 31mpg) all board up.

    Bulls will not be out rebounded they've been a top 10 rebounding team for the last 4-5 years.Mcbuckets will play the 3 and Jimmy butler will defend lebron.Mcbuckets will defend the mike millers,james jones or tristan thompson he can be hidden on defense so he won't be sitting anywhere.Taj gibson averaged 18 ppg in the playoffs last year including a 32 point game you continue to expose yourself.Pau will eat vs anyone they put on him.Noah has never been a threat offensively in his career he can defend,rebound and pass the ball his intangibles/hustle and ability to defend multiple front court positions is what he does.I didn't even mention the euro

    Butttt the Cavs starting 2 guard is Dion Waiters. Soooo Doug McDermott is gonna guard Dion Waiters? Then if he guards the 4, yall have old school 4's so they're gonna be guarding 3's??. Seems like that cross match will ? yall...all just to hide a rookie's defensive woes? Thibs has a track record of being that understanding? Didnt yall ride ? outta town for fukin ? up on D? Huh?

    "Nikola's game will translate extremely well because he has inside-outside capability," Blatt said. "He has the size to take advantage of mismatches if he does play as a power forward. He has the speed to dribble around guys. He's a legitimate rebounder and has physical size and presence. He's a very, very tough kid.
    "He was a matchup nightmare
    in Europe. That will be interesting to see, how Tom Thibodeau decides to play him. I can't speak to that piece. But physically and athletically and skills-wise, he can swing between positions and take advantage of mismatches."

    6mSMb1q.gif

    I seen the tape. Over HERE, in Americaaaa, we speaka the english, and that man is not playin the 3. Get some rest.

    I doubt waiters starts cavs need spacing he's an average shooter if he did snell would most likely start and mcbuckets would come off the bench.I was saying mcbuckets can defend the weaker players like korver use too thibs has defensive system that has been proven to be effective one bad defender won't change nothin.Hilarious how you dismiss what the cavs head coach says about a player he's actually coached against and how his skills can translate to the nba.
