I think the Cleveland Cavaliers are deserving of a lowkey thread

If LeBron can keep this tempo up for himself, Kyrie can put up decent averages with that 25+ scoring and great 3 ball, and everyone else works on continuing to click around these two (Would've been a lot easier doing this if they had Wiggins instead of Love), this is a team that can beat anyone in the East. I don't think Rose gonna have a night like yesterday for half of a 7 game series and there isn't anyone on that team that can make up that slack. Atlanta the biggest threat to Cleveland

i don't think the pelicans will make the playoffs and i don't like them or AD, i was just throwing names out there :ld:

i could have put harden or westbrook in his place, they all have better arguments as top 3 players than lebron...but yall didn't refute that point anyway :mjpls:

Nikka we didn't refute sh*t because we were in shock with the appearance of a last name davis in top 3 anything :wtf: And the fact that you think harden is a top 3 player in the league is about to land you another neg breh :ufdup: You should just stick to ATL basketball

Hol up hol up hol up....



@blackzeus....you don't think the Cavs would be better with Anthony Davis instead of Love? :merchant:

Yes if and only if AD is doing his best Deandre Jordan impression. Love needs the ball in his hands, he has to adjust to not having the ball in his hands for 10 seconds on every 24 second shot clock :pachaha: Love will stretch out the defense, can shoot from anywhere on the court, and is a rebounding machine. Again, it's easy to have crazy numbers as the best player on a sh*tty team

@Malta This wiggins narrative needs to stop. He's a good rookie but implying he would be a better contributor than kevin love on the cavs is silly. He's averaging 14 points on a team that is 6 and 32. Stop it fam. He might turn out to be a good player in the near future but he wasn't going to help the cavs THIS year or next.
Let's be real Iman Shumpret will make contribute more to this team than a Rookie Wiggins that can't dribble and gets bullied in the post consistently.

DeAndre Jordan posts :ld: numbers on a team in which he's the 5th option I don't see how he's anywhere near comparable to Davis. They aren't even similar players, but Love and Davis play the same position, and Davis defense is worlds better than Love, this year Love's rating is 107 to Davis 101 (The lower the better), that is a huge difference and we won't even get into opponents field goal percentage at the rim, since Love is one of the worst in the league there.

The Pelicans aren't a shytty team, they would make the playoffs in the East, Davis has shytty teammates and he is basically the only reason they win games at this point. Also, how can you say it's easy to have crazy numbers as the best player on a shytty team, then talk about Love and the things he did while he was on a shytty team posting crazy numbers? You put Davis on last years Wolves and they win 50, because he can actually defend, you put him on the Cavs right now and nobody is even close to them.

The Deandre analogy was to state that as long as AD is playing off alley oops, rebounds, basically above the rim stuff, yes, I agree. If not, he would go through the same adjustment Love is going through not having the ball in his hands all the time. And yes, I said Love can stretch the defense, and from small ball to twin towers is an option. I did say that it's easy to have great numbers as the best player on a sh*tty team, but Love is a much more skilled player than AD. And yes, the Pelicans are a sh*tty team, sorry to break your heart.

It's crazy that people consider 18ppg-10rpg from your third best player as horrible and Wiggins would have contributed more for this team. Bosh didn't even average numbers like that as the third option. Not to mention we still have Iman for the defense that Wiggins would have supposedly brought to this team. People will do anything to make believe there bullshyt opinions. Like Wiggins>Love for the Cavs :mjlol:

Breh, Davis plays with Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday, you think he's not used to long stretches of not seeing the ball :russ: And when they do pass him the ball he's getting his points in the same manner the Cavs were using Varejao before he got hurt, except you can feed him the ball non-stop on pick and pops or rolls and expect elite level scoring. Davis is a pick and pop/roll big right now, there is no adjustment for him, he sets a pick and pops out or rolls to the rim, you either pass it to him or you don't, he's not calling for the ball on the low block. You'd have a point if DeAndre Jordan could make jumpers, but he can't and Davis can, 50% eFG on jumpers means he's pretty much elite at that.

Also -
73% of his offense is assisted
77% of Love's offense is assisted

There would be no adjustment period, especially with how much LeBron and Kyrie call for high picks. Love in no way shape or form is better than Davis, and he's not even a better fit for the Cavs, Varejao was getting 8 shots a game just because he could make a 15-18 footer and that is Davis's speciality. You can't play small with Love at the 5, he cannot defend bigs, you missed the part about Gasol absolutely eating him up?

Ideally the Cavs starters have 3 plus defenders out of 5. With Kyrie clearly making improvements on defense, the Cavs should really start to click next month with Shumpert back. I think its going to translate to the playoffs, enough to get them to the ECF. Lebron hasn't fallen off until we have evidence.

The problem is the Cavs havent done any of the shyt OP is talking about and it doesn't look like they will this season. They still have to figure out how to use Love and rely on iso ball too much even if Kyrie and Lebron are elite at it. When the ball doesn't move they're predictable.
