It's a waste of his talents too. They don't need 4 guys to handle the ball on that team. Their best guard defensively is gonna be JR :huhldup:. I just had this argument with my brother. He kept arguing that a soon to be 36 year old Wade would be able to play good enough defense and they could ask him to guard Klay as if he just camps in the corner all possession long. How are they supposed to compete with the warriors when nobody in their back court can play defense? Hopefully he at least has a productive season and stays healthy.

and they made it to the finals last year with the best defensive guard being jr, and they won the title the year before with their best guard defensively again being JR

It will literally be KD doing what he did last year but 10x worst..
I mean Klay had Love clamped down and frustrated, there is now way Flash can hold him or Steph..
The Cavs look stacked on paper, just like last year and I can’t even lie that Christmas game had me shook but this is not going to beat a healthy Warrior team.
If Nick Young actually plays worth a damn and not on some “Swaggy P”bs and if Mccaw stays confident like he did in last years finals..
It would be a bloodbath and a sweep..
Plus the rookie Center we have and Caspi..
This will be an uphill climb for the Cavs even if it’s not the Warriors they face in the finals..
Not just that, but they still don't have a rim protector, and whenever love is on the floor against them they go right at him. There'll be 2-3 different people the warriors can target on defense while the cavaliers are gonna be asking 15 year veteran LeBron to be the anchor of their defense while he's gonna have something close to 54,000 minutes played to his name by the time they reach the finals.

That was with an injured Curry, green catching a suspension, and bogut getting hurt. It took everything going right for them while everything went wrong for golden state, and then in the offseason they added KD. What Cleveland needed was more Shane Battier type players who are quality and versatile defenders who can space the floor too. They had I think the 22nd ranked defense last year. How do Thomas, Rose, or Wade help that?

Wade's best shot to win(sans joining the Warriors) is in Cleveland plus Bron is his best friend. :manny:

Wade's best chance isnt a chance at all. Its at least a high chance fore ECF. Its aight tro thats that man's life. The Wade heat era is officially over lets get the nba season fukkery started

This is why the Warriors continue to beat the Cavs. Warriors got players who don't need the ball, are young and the front office can actually draft. They draft players who ACTUALLY PLAY. (Jordan bell, Patrick Mccaw). Meanwhile the Cavs signing the Golden girls or players who can't stay healthy. (Rose, Wade, Jefferson, Frye)

Yeah TT looked pedestrian last finals..
Korver and Love are liabilities on defense..
Iman/Jr are too streaky on both offense and defense..
D.Rose/Wade injury prone..
So I just don’t see there offense being as explosive like last year with Kyrie,which is going to make them work harder on defense and that’s way too many old bodies on the court to try to defend a Warriors team that have too many players just coming into there prime.
I just can’t see Wade/Rose chasing Steph/Klay around those pick n rolls Dray/Zaza/Javale/West set(legal or illegal:lolbron:)
Then you have to factor in Livingston, and that height is going to make defenders barbecue chicken.
I would love to see Dwade have a good season especially if this is the end for him but this ain’t beating no team in the West..
