Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!

That wasn't about height. That was about effort. Rockets ain't trotting out a big lineup either. Getting those offensive boards killed them.
You can pinpoint possessions where it just was not what it was supposed to be
Love is the effort guy who gives you 10 plus rebounds a game.. In dirty games on the road especially on a back to back, you need those types of guys.. Thompson is good but the height sometimes gets to him however when he plays with Love it hard to keep a lid on them both.
 
His ass didn't play in the 4th quarter tonight either?!?!?! Flashback of that Mavs finals the last 5 mins of the game when the Cavs needed him... :smh:

I ain't ready to dump on him just yet I'd just say maybe people need to focus on the reigning champs and how they're playing and not just 1 team trying to replace 25 points a game on the fly

I'm not arguing against Love's value
I'm saying if you're on the court you need to be an effort guy. Forget what you're "known for" effort wins games when the talent is almost the same.
So yes you're correct in your assessment but that's no excuse for dudes who are actually suiting up to not give said effort.
 
Dude hopefully its something! What I saw tonight was fucking embarrassing! I don't know whether Kyrie didn't give a fuck or if he's just that horrible of a damn defensive player..... and maybe LeBron is getting older because he simply disappeared at the end of the game.

These fools listened to his ass talking about they needed a guard, and these motherfuckers can't rebound for shit! :smh:

Bron leading the league in mins played.. its catching up with him

I'm a big in effort also and that's what the Cavs lack more than other teams.
It's just naturally not they're DNA.

And in the warriors case it's effort in the form of focus. Not out working you but executing and trying not other worldly effort
Just straight up valuing possessions and finishing defensive sequences.

I turned the TV off when they played Boston in the 4th quarter it was a 6 point game with 2 AND some change left and Boston got 3 offensive rebounds and took the clock down from 2 and a half minutes to just over one and made the shot

That was EFFORT.

Same shit happen tonight in this Cavs vs Houston game...

I don't know what's the final numbers but I'm sure htown was a plus 12-15 in rebound

True, but they don't really have that blue collar guy other than love, and is the main reason why they need to sign Sanders, because at least his shot blocking could help make the game easier for them, because right now their games, even the ones they win are all difficult.
 
I dont see anyone on here panicking about the Cavs though:hmm: they have lost what 4 of there last 6 or is it 5; they have their 2 best players so whats the problem:hmm:
Nah... Seems like our resident Gene-ye-us is stuck on MORE stupid when it comes to the Cavs... Fool reminds me of that cartoon when the kid kept saying 'I want a easter egg' over and over again, Dumb ass stays parroting the same long drawn out posts, might as well copy and paste. Retard ALWAYS gets ghost when the Cavs lose though.. Fucking idiot!! :lol:
 
For those who don't know or realize what Love brings to the Cavs lets look at a few things..
Remember that crucial play when Irving got called for the foul trying to box out his man, and all the other times he was manhandled in the paint trying to crash the boards, well with Love in the game there is no need for him or LeBron to crash the boards as much because Love rebounds so well and passes from the paint, that those two are free to leak out the other way forcing their defenders to defend them with them..
Which leads to my next point, the Cavs were also killed in fast break points because with out being able to leak their fast break game is dead, most fast break points come from big rebounds and leaking finishers running the floor, something that's impossible to do when all hands are on deck trying to crash the boards.
Next Jefferson was in the game to take Love place, while he did get hot in the first half, Love would have not only stretched the floor like him b
So while some people only look a the points Love puts up, his true value are the little things that sometimes flies under the radar..

That's because fools roast the Cavs the entire fucking year. Cavs get no fucking love on this board period. There isn't a Cavs bandwagon.

No one expects the Cavs to win it all. Theyre in a weak conference and LeBron isnt a good Finals performer. So them losing games in the regular season is meh. Its expected.
 
Cavs just signed Larry Sanders. The league gotta stop the fuckery allowing them to get all this "help". Mofos tryna do everything to win a chip. Bitch shit! :smh:

Dude is a HOFer. No excuses for Bron now with this pick up. If he doesnt prove himself and win it all this year his career is a failure. This isnt like Golden State where we can simply throw the coach under the bus when the players dont get it done. The buck stops with Bron and Bron only, nothing else matters like D'Angelo and Lauryn Hill say.

Been roasting the cavs for the past 11 years now? U thought shit was gonna be different?
