When did he say this? There's no date...

I mean it's funny and Maybe true that the cavaliers are one of the worst defensive Teams he ever played against, but Anthony Davis or Jrue Holiday could say the same about us...

Where are Brad Stevens' adjustments tonight? Horrible playoff coach.

Silly post. Boston isn't losing because of Brad Stevens coaching. As a coach, you coach the same way home or away.

They're losing away games due to youth. You think if Kyrie "champion" Irving was there with his playoff/finals experience they'd be losing like that?

I don't.

Who's gonna guard him on CLE??

I've refereed him since he was in 8th Grade and all through his high school career. The kid has always been a class act on the basketball court.

I use him as a teaching moment for players with regard to how they should respond to an official's call. I have no negative words for Kevin.

His father however....

The fool is trying to apply the problems with Stotts to Stevens...

That's not even comparing apples to oranges.... That's comparing apples to spaceships...
 
No Death Lineup (Hampton 5) tonight. Iguadala tonight. I wonder who they'll start instead. Looney?

CJ's defense has been getting better and better. It's one of the reasons we were one of the best defensive teams in the NBA this season. Yes, Nurk was a big part of that but Dame and CJ had greatly improved defense.
 
A good thing about CJ is that he takes pressure off Dame. If Dame is struggling late or even playing very well, he needs that guy he can throw the ball to so that he doesn't have to do everything. Dame would miss that terribly. Dame and CJ aren't the problem. We need better players around them. It's like back when everyone wanted to trade Sheed. Sheed wasn't the problem. It was the players around him. He immediately won a title Detroit. We could've done the same if we had found him the best teammates.

He's been getting better based on what? Your eyes? Advanced stats? What evidence do you have to support that claim? And no, your bias doesn't count.

Well overall the teams defense drastically improved this year. How much of that was CJ? I don’t know, but defense is a team thing so he at least played his role on defense for them to get better as team right?

Anytime his team came into our gym, or we went to theirs in high school.
All his father did is whine and complain. According to his father, if you stepped on the same court as his son. It was a foul and you should be ejected.
My very first exposure to Love was a play being made on him. Only for Love to bitch for the next quarter and a half to anyone within earshot.
He's a baby and I would stop watching the Blazers if he came to Portland.

Agree or disagree, he said it already: overall team defensive rating.
 
there is a timeout that I don't think Stotts would ever call; up 12-2, Kerr calls one cuz his team was getting sloppy.
 
Wow Harden wide wide wide open for three and won't take the shot. There's your MVP for you. Unbelievable.
 
Houston needs to get the lead though. "Keeping it close" won't get it done. Cmon Rockets....
 
Okay, you guys gotta admit it would be more fun to see Houston blowout Warriors here than win a close game. Blowouts are cool when it's the team you want to win.
