    Only way I could see not referring to LeBron as a scorer is if it's meant as a compliment. Like saying he is an all-around elite player, as opposed to just a volume scorer like Carmelo. If that's not how it's meant, well, he's still 11th on the all-time scoring list. He's a distributer, but it's not like he's Magic Johnson out there averaging 19 PPG.

    Man, didn't take long for the knives to come out for LeBron lol.

      Cavs are screwed if they lose this series.

      Still can't believe they just gave Wiggins up for Love, then went out and signed Frye too, when they're already using Love as a 3 4 or 5 option.

      That dude Bosh was special, but this is not the Miami Heat either.

      All that money to a rebounding garbage man... This is just one position.

            This is why I'm going to blame Lebron if they lose. He went and got the players he wanted, and kept the ones he wanted, got the coach he wanted, they're healthy (Love is playing tomorrow night, I am 99.99% sure of this). Also didn't they trade for Frye?

              I can see some argument for Wiggins trade a little bit so they can play small and switch etc but lbj needs shooters and Wiggins is young lbj 2.0, great slasher but average shooter. Teams would just sag off him and make him shoot. This would have probably been smart idea long term but they want LBJ to stay and to make him in win now mode and went short term. Plus on paper it seemed like a perfect fit lol. Bigger problem is kyrie.

                it made no sense at all. cavs shorten their window to win a title by doing the trade. plus, minnesota had no leverage with love.

                  Yeah. Im not saying Frye is a bad pickup, but not with what they're doing.


                  Also seems like LueBron's plan is to tell the team to try this this this.

                  When that starts falling apart then everyone just says forget it.


                  He's probably in the huddle mid 3rd quarter like

                  "kyrie, we need you to move the ball, just set up the offense then get it going"

                  kyrie like "didn't AI cross you up and step over you"

                  lebron "man kyrie not right now!"

                  Jr smith like " screw it"

                    Wiggins is a player that was apart of their future, forget the win now thing.

                      There is very little movement going on within the CAVS offense and a whole bunch within the Warriors offense. That very little movement makes the CAVS much easier to defend when the other team is COMMITTED to playing solid team defense. It seems like most of the screens being set by the CAVS are on ball while GSW has a plethora of on and off ball screens going on within their play sets. This series really is a tale of two offenses. GSW's is a sight to behold with all that passing and constant movement. CAVS have missed quite a few shots inside that normally go in.

                      I hope CAVS can turn it around but the way that offense is looking I don't see how.

                      EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                        Part of me thinks Cavs will win game 3 because James and the Cavs cant get swept can they? But then part of me thinks this is golden state a 73 win team we are talking about and they can basically put things away if they go up 3-0. If any thing even if Cavs do find a way to win game 3 I am sure it will be close and Golden State will show up. I don't think it is going to be a game where Golden state is like we are up 2-0 this is not a big game or something like you see some teams kind of do if they are up 2-0 or even if they win game 1 and they kind of don't show up in game 2 on the road thinking we got a game on the road already and are happy with a split.

                          Wiggins doesn't make the Cavs any better than they are now.

                          We're forgetting how good the Cavs were last year in the post season. Way better than more gritty than this team right now. Offense was insane and the defense wasn't bad either. That was a team that was playing extremely well and playing together.

                            Against this Warriors team? Probably not. But long term? I disagree.

                              Neither does Love...and again for me its more about the future than just now, always has been.

                                And they would've brought in another max guy last offseason like LA or Deandre or someone else of that ilk.
