too bad he doesn't have some young wing that could help take some of the load off him and grow under him. someone that could take the pressure off him on defense while helping him attack in the paint. such a shame the cavs didn't have a young guy like wiggins to play alongside lebron. :mjpls:
Wiggins is playing worse than Kevin Love, you guys obviously don't watch basketball. Wiggins is also not an offball player, lol at him playing with Lebron and Kyrie.

He would riding the bench in Cleveand too because he can't shoot from 3.

Wiggins makes off ball cuts and gets passes and plays from Rubio all the time. :dahell:

what hurts most about playing in Minny for Wiggins is that there's absolutely zero spacing and they collapse/double him when he drives. That wouldn't happen next to Lebron and he'd be more free to get easier buckets than he does in Minny.

If riley agreed to coach and if the Heat still got Whiteside, then yes, he should have stayed.
Spoelstra has the Heat underachieving like hell.

On the other hand, who didn't see that the Cavs would be a crap defensive team as constructed?

Moz, Thompson, Bron, Wiggins, Kyrie.

How would that spacing be?:usure:

Terrible, but a stretch big is easier to find in today's league than a player like Wiggins.

Actually Kyrie/Wiggins/JR/Bron/Mozgov wouldn't be that awful spacing wise, but Lebron is just a bytch about playing the four these days

That team with Whiteside :wow:

Golden State wouldn't have an answer for a Bosh/Bron/Whiteside front court.

SINY!!
Yep, his instinct to bail when shyt gets tough fukked him up. This year if they were all healthy with Whiteside I see them getting to the finals and giving any team in the west a tough time.

The Cavs might come out the East but the talent ain't there.

Hell if he just let the Cavs keep Wiggins I think they might be in a better place but he wanted "3 stars". LeGM = L's

The league would love a MIA VS CLE Eastern Conference Final......the media would run with it, and add some drama on court as well. Miami seems to be middle of the pack right now, but can never discount a team that has Pat Riley at the helm. The don't have much in terms of assets, but I can see him trying to be a buyer at the trade deadline.

Thing is at this moment, the Warriors are the stick everyone is measured against....the fact they just lost to SA, and now last nights game.....sure CLE fans are nervous. Having thoughts of "here we go again"

now Bron is stuck with Love and Wiggins with Rubio :francis:

that trade turned out to be a lose-lose situation

you guys need to analyze games better.. I am pissed but I clearly see the defensive scheme is the problem...

they are trapping the entry pass and trapping curry which is not working ...

what I don't understand is why they keep defending the same way so long
Everybody defends the Warriors the same way as Cleveland does

Which is one of the reasons they continue to win so much :francis:

Spo had the same defensive scheme, blitz all pick and rolls and give up open 3s

:mjlol:
But that's exactly the way to neutralize that ball screen.

That's why the Heat played so well against them a number of games ago and they would've won if Whiteside was healthy

:camby:

Brons made the right move.

you think so?
bosh and wade >> love and kyrie

cavs have better role players i'll give you that, but lebron was at his best in miami and was hyper efficient.

Riley should've been coaching miami
Wade got lazy when LeBron was here IMO. Was out of shape the 2nd year and never took care of his knee as he should have. All the sudden LeBron is gone and you see Wade putting people on posters again and I'm like :comeon:

Brons knew his window in Miami had come to a close. Although it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing in Cleveland, it was always the better short and long term move. Wade's time as being a dominant scorer is basically done. It wouldn't make any sense for Bron to depend on him like that for another season, if he wanted to win another title.
