Despite talk of rest, Cavs going full strength.
Thunder out with Kanter and Abrines.
>getting highlight reel'd by Andre Roberson
>the city of Lelbron
>>74153512
love missed his first shot
i once read his point production in any given game is strongly correlated with make/miss on his first shot
not sure if that's still true
Vic shitting on niggas early
Thunder you need to take this game.
BOOO that man!
Sabonis just isn't ready enough. He, Roberson, and Oladipo are the key to the future.
>>74153611
>Roberson
I type this and he gets an And 1
k love on the board
what a stud
wonder if we will see derrick williams tonight since lebron is probably gonna play less than 30 minutes
>>74153638
All he needs is to bring his FT% above 70% and a reliable scoring method. Hopefully one really good summer can bring it.
Westbrook is great, but if he had another superstar with him they would be unstoppable. Somebody like Durant or Harden
Kyle Korver has been on fire these past few games, if he can keep this up for the rest of the season and the playoffs...cavs will be unstoppable
>Abrines

No YOU worry bout YOURself
>>74153747
They're going to win in the 3rd quarter when Westbrook gets benched for the last 2 minutes and until the 8 minute mark in the 4th.
Donovan refuses to change Westbrook's timetable and the bench will blow the game. Particularly Payne.
This is how it's been since Kanter went out.

why did lebron even play? it's clear he doesn't want to. is it because it's national tv and adam silver would bitch?

>>74153829
He looks gay as hell every time lol
>Derrick Williams was a literal bench warmer at Miami
>Getting solid minutes already at Cleveland
Miami confirmed better than Cleveland
If the Cavs need a backup PG, they'll need to hope for vet buyouts. Calderon and Deron Williams would be the best. Otherwise it would be slim pickings.
>>74153903
cavs are experimenting heavily this game. not pretty but interesting imo
>>74153862
I fear this. It's going to happen later in the game because Roberson will be gassed guarding LeBron, Korver, and maybe Kyrie if he starts having a good late game.
>>74153902
But Lance would've signed with the Cavs if they wanted him.
Nice dunk LeBeta
TOO BAD HE MISSED THAT DUNK
Better work on that old man game LeBron.
>LeMiss open layups and dunks

Westbrook is literally the MVP. This team has nothing without him.
I don't like westbrooks game, he's a cool dude but his game is not pleasing to watch
>elbow someone on the face
>refs call foul on the poor guy
lmao
>>74154002
It's not when he's bouncing every shot off the rim. Thunder need a shooting coach baaaaaad
Sabonis gotta get stronger and get some vert.
He can't get up for those contested layups and over powers it high.
And he lacks the stamina for those threes in a 82 game season.
He was great from three and started losing his hops as the season went on. His stroke isn't as smooth.
>>74154015
You don't know shit.

Pretty new to basketball, how were Durant, Westbrook and Harden on the same team?? And why on earth did they want to split up?
>>74154415
Harden refused a near max deal and wanted his own team so he was traded.
>>74154415
because they are all 3 douchebags
>>74154431
This
People wanna ignore this but they were all young, naive, and couldn't recognize how good they had it at the time and regret it all now.
I already know Harden regrets it but KD is still too far up his own ass to see it.
>>74154464
KD is getting that ring, I doubt he gives a fuck.
>>74154415
OKC were really really insanely lucky at drafting 3 years in a row. Basically durant, then westbrook, then harden, 3 drafts in a row not to mention moving up in the lottery a few times to get them. Very rarely do you ever see 3 superstars of that caliber all in consecutive drafts, much less being drafted to the same team.
harden left because OKC had no idea how good he was when they got him and let him go for pennies. Durant left because he's a pussy bitch.
>>74154415
i'm not 100% but
>>74154431
yeah.
money and egos, from the sounds of it
>>74154415
They were all super young and only ran into a LeBeta/Heat superteam in '12 otherwise they have a ring already.
cavs look like shit, this is over, i'm done
Morrow gotta make those shots gotta start a run.
>>74154401
Are you sure you clicked the right post m8? The fuck are you on about
>>74154474
Fucking hell Tim, it's only 8 points
>>74154474
>a fucking virgin
>>74154470
>and let him go for pennies
Adams is worth more than a penny. But that was just another great draft pick.
>>74154415
Harden was viewed as the black Manu Ginobili. OKC did not want to give 3 max contracts to all perimeter players and pay the luxury tax. They traded Harden away for young players and draft picks that turned into Steven Adams.
Harden absolutely blossomed into a constant MVP contender.
Durant wanted an easier path to a ring, despite the fact he and Westbrook were 3-1 up on the Warriors. Sure, they dealt with injuries in the time between trading Harden and last season, but it finally looked like they figured out the rest of the team.
Anyone got a stream?
>>74154470
No team in the league knew he was that good because he wasn't going that good UNTIL he got better in the off season playing as the only guy on a shit Rockets team. Read a single article about Morey and that trade and not a single person involved in the trade thought he would get that good.
Take your revisionist BS out the window.

>A great draft
>>74154509
I remember Rockets fans were ready to bail on the team after that trade. They thought it was a robbery
Adams gotta get better at tipping balls.
>>74154519
Thanks man
>>74154535
>Adams isn't a top tier center already
Dude and hes still like 23
>>74154541
adams is the only good player on the team
>>74154541
Hard to do that when you're getting hooked as much as he is and the refs miss it.
LeBron misses Delly so much
>>74154554
top tier as in top 15 or so, he's shit imo. Yeah, great notion of how to use the physique, but I'd still choose Tristan over him for example
>>74154428
wrong, he was a restricted free agent, Thunder could have matched any offer - oh and they traded him with a year still left on his contract
And it's ridiculous to expect Harden to take a pay cut and come off the bench when he'd get a 5 year max offer from any team that could. OKC owners fucked themselves and the city out of a dynasty over like 8 mil a year.
>>74154415
Thunder owners cheaped out despite the fact that they were raking in profit. They could have kept all 3 + Ibaka and still been completely fine. The increased value of the franchise had already exceeded the additional price they paid to move the team to OKC (they had to pay the NBA $100+ mil in additional to what they paid for the team).
And now the value of the franchise is over a billion and they paid like $500 mil total. Had kept KD/WB/Harden it would be at least a coupler hundred mil higher too.
>>74154586
Lol stay in Europe loser. Adams is a stud and is only getting better.
>>74154600
Lmao you're still spamming this debunked trash.
Look up how the Rose Rule fucked over their salary cap and projected plan.
>>74154470
How the fuck did they have no idea how good he is. He was arguably the best player the WCF win against the Spurs. If a few stinkers in the finals at that age prevented them pull paying a few extra than that's pretty sad.
Harden's offensive production was massive in his limited role and volume. Pretty easy to see he was gonna be an amazing all-around offensive player. Always had a laugh when people said he was a product of KD/WB.
Korver is looking good lately, hope he continues. always thought he was better than atl used him for.
>>74154620
I know all about the Rose rule bud. Still doesn't explain their garbage decision making. They have zero excuse, trade Ibaka if you have to. Harden was bordering on elite already at 22.
>>74154638
O i am laffin. I love how much you're ignoring how bad he was on defense that he had to be limited to a bench role while Thabo was the starter.
>>74154600
>t. Bill Simmons
>>74154654
Lmao, he was far from elite and Ibaka was top 5 shot blocker leading the league in blocks at a point.

At least they got adams from harden.
Durant leaving like that, they got nothing.
>>74154708
Durant is a beta bitch
>>74154613
Still got the time to improve, sure, but I honestly think he's shit rn
>>74154672
Only casuals couldn't see how good Harden was his last year in OKC. His efficiency was INSANE. It was obvious he was gonna be an elite scorer and literally was from day 1 in Houston when he put up 2 monster stats lines his first 2 games with 37 and 42 points. He was also their best playmaker and usually had the ball in the 4th quarter creating KD/WB.
You weren't watching if you couldn't see he was going to be a top 10 player. Even I didn't think he was gonna be this good but still, their fuck up was clear from the day of the trade.
God awful pass by Roberson there. Gotta know what the score is before making dumb moves like that.
REFBALL AGAIN SHOCKER
>>74154721
I'd suggest you rethink how you rate players. Or open your eyes.
>>74154732
It was an obvious foul, though.

>Uncle Drew making people look like chumps
>>74154721
>>74154739
yea portugal, Adams is an elite big at this point. he's at least getting paid like one
>>74154753
Best handles in the game
i do like the cavs willingness to experiment, putting derrick in the spotlight like this
>>74154675
nah, he had 2 really good games, 2 bad games, and 1 in foul trouble. if you seriously drop a 22 year old because of 2 or 3 bad games after what he did the entire year than you deserve to get shat on cause you cost yourself 2 MVP level players
>>74154778
probably the best i've seen him play in a while, he looks fresh and pretty in sync considering.
>no practice with the group yet
>>74154726
Well the trade was a good idea. Better trade him and get something instead of losing him for nothing.
Not offering him max to stay....that was stupid.
>>74154743
THE DUDE IS 6FT 10 AND GOT A HAND PUT ON HIM AND DROPPED|
IT WAS A FLOP LEBRON TEACHES ALL HIS NEW PLAYERS TO DO THIS
If you rate Kyrie as a PG he's not top 5, if you rate him as an undersized SG he's top 5
OKC only winning this game if Cavs just drop off a cliff. They don't have enough skilled players to keep up with 3 all star players.
6 minutes on the clock is too much I ain't got no faith in this team. Westbrook gotta turn god mode just to beat the Blazers and shit. He gotta go super god mode if they wanna beat the Cavs.
Oladipo also has to make all his threes.
>Thunder getting fouled everytime down low
>no calls
Just trade the bench for Carmelo already, fuck it. They can't do what a bench is supposed to do (relieve the starters) so this fear of "gutting the bench"? As it is, this is gonna be like the 2015 Finals except they'll lose in the ECF because Lebron is finally getting old. At least Melo can run the secondary units and let LeOld get some rest
WESTGOD

It'd be cool, but I haven't heard rumors about it. For that matter, I'm surprised the Clippers haven't jumped on that trade. The fuck are they waiting for? There is literally no way they have a chance against the Warriors this season. They won't even win a game. If Doc thinks they're contenders then he's too far gone
THAT OLADIPO SPIN

TRIPLE DOUBLE
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now, did Westbrook give up that ball just tomorrow get to 10 assists?
>>74154855
It hit hoopshype for a day, but didn't hear anything else.
Problem is money. Melo isn't a max player anymore, but he still wants max money.
To get a deal done he is going to have to sign and trade. Probably in the upper teens.
>>74154854
>>74154847
James didn't leave to JOIN a superteam, he went to possibly make one with guys he knew to try for rings, Durant went to a team that already has championship experience and rings just to get one because he couldn't cut it with Westbrook and OKC, true colors of a bitch boy.
>>74154854

It's only fair since it's so hard to guard him.
Adams just keeps his hands above Kyrie and hopes Kyrie misses. That's all you can do without reaching in and catching a foul.

>>74154916
It's a regular season bro. Have you been asleep since 2011? LeBron not showing up in the 4th quarter is a meme. Remember when he dropped 16 in the 4th quarter against SA in Game 6? Remember when he got back to back 3 point plays to put the Cavs up 2 in game 7, and then got the block that saved the series? Of course you don't, because you're a faggot who started watching basketball this year.
OLATHREEPO

>>74154949

is that why lebron is playing 40 minutes on a back to back while averaging the most minutes in the league while literally crying in public about wanting another player despite his team outspending every team in the league?
>all these OKC "fans" acting like this is the playoffs
see you next year you dumb shits, your team will still be terrible and Westbrook will be the next to leave you for a better team that he can actually carry to a ring.
>>74154896
Barkley forced a trade to a good, not great Suns team from a really shitty 76ers. Then at the end of his career tried to latch onto the Rockets with Hakeem and Pippen.
Shaq signed with the Lakers (also a 50 win team that lost in the 1st round) after Magic retired and the Lakers traded Divac for rookie Kobe. Drafted Derek Fisher with their own pick.
>>74154949

He quit every time he starts losing.

Go fuck yourself with this bullshit about the game didn't mean anything to the Cavs.
If it didn't mean anything Lue's shook ass would have rested his starters.
Cavs apologist must have brain-damage from ingesting all that horseshit in Cleveland. This is another game Bron is putting in 40+ minutes and supposedly 'not trying'.
thank u 4 closeup of cheerleader qt
cavs defense is terrible. they've been giving up ~120 points all season. do they think they're the warriors?
Lol Lebron would be so shit if he was in the Western Conference.

he played them because it was a tnt game, silver would have been angry if they didnt play for the ratings, if it wasnt a national tv game they would have sat 100%
>>74155012
but they were? it was a last minute decision to play or not. and if it meant anything they would have actually tried to win, they barely lost and had their bench in the end of the 4th, you don't do that if you're trying to win.
