chunkles posted:I don't really like the Heat comp though because they were a top 10 offense and defense that season, they just needed to retool the offense around motion and small ball. Mozgov helps the Cavs but I don't see what moves they can make to be competitive with the West. Easy, it's called staying healthy because apparently the West is slowly dying to injuries outside of Golden State and that has the usual ticking bomb of Bogut/Curry.

I think the Cav's biggest problem currently, and this was kinda unexpected, is that the bench is Tristan Thompson and that's it. Mike Tirico said today,and I believed him, that Irving is #2 in the league in minutes and Lebron's #3. Miller and Marion are done, Shumpert looks like an NBDL player, and Dellavedova is... fine for what he is but you pretty much have to play him with Irving or Lebron because he can't run the offense by himself. And there's nothing else. Maybe that's on Blatt but I don't think so. I don't know what that means for the playoffs. Even with Love being kinda mediocre the starters can probably play with anybody.

It means Lebron will have to play a couple of 48 minute games, like he seems to do every playoff because he's never on deep teams.

I'm getting the vibe that in order for LeBron to really make sure this team gets to where it's going to go? It's going to take him doing just what you said. ESPECIALLY considering the lack of experience the coach, Love, Irving, and a few others have in terms of not having any playoff experience. I think eventually he won't have to do this with this team, but for now? He's going to have to put a lot on his back to make it happen. Going to be rough though.

There aren't a lot of teams that run 8 or 9 deep with good players. He's probably got the best supporting cast in basketball. Playoffs have longer timeout breaks and he'll be able to play more minutes.

(loving 2009 was bullshit). LeBron again...has his work cut out for him.

danucleus posted:It's especially bad now that agriculture and medical community overuse antibiiotics and you have all these super-resistant staph bacteria. From working in the medical community, it's pretty much the most dangerous thing about going to hospitals. These strains are in hospitals and near impossible to get rid of, once infected, because doctors have no viable antibiotics for them. Late on this but I got one after a surgery via a central line and I can look back on it and laugh now but the antibiotics I needed for that were so loving strong THEY nearly killed me as much as the infection did. I hope Blake is okay.

This is true but Kyrie is loving things up. I think the Cavs would be better focusing more on a Lebron/Love pick and pop game.

Just wanna say that despite some bad shooting the Raptors probably played their best game of the year tonight. Defense and rim protection was locked in something fierce. That said, if you're going to start James Johnson then please sub Patterson in for Amir Johnson. We got to see that lineup after Amir got two quick fouls and it predictably owned.

I wasn't able to catch much of the game but from what I heard the people's line-up (JV-Paterson and James Johnson) finally got some run and played well. Looking forward to Casey reverting to Amir/Pyshco-T next game...

Oddly enough the one thing I kept recalling being drilled into my head during the first fling with LeBron was that he "Needed a point guard", to play Pippen to his Jordan. (though positions obviously reversed). It feels like Kyrie and Love seem to both match up well in that regard, but it feels like they've yet to establish a good balance between the two. To speculate, is it posssible LeBron has been working extra close with Kyrie to elevate his game to an "elite" level, and that's why Kevin Love has looked a bit average?

If Rubio inexplicably learns to shoot would that automatically make him the de-facto second best Point Guard in the Eastern Conference?
