Well to me it does look like a heat vs cavs situation.. But.. Cavs should gel this year...fully.. But the heat will still have to adjust... So cavs gets the upper hand ...still.. Time will tell


But I am really happy how deep the heat is... And a good defensive team
we aint worried about no franchise with 0 rings to their name:WadeROFL:....cavs will fold one way or another. it's just their way:yeshrug:

Durant at the 4 ibaka at center it's not hard. Or you can put Kanter on the bench and start adams. Flexibility something that brooks didn't use.

Breh you put Kevin Durant at the 4 and make him have to guard Duncan Diaw West Aldridge:francis:

David West alone might break that dude in half posting him up...

Ibaka at the 5 is something I wouldn't do either...

Adams is so limited offensively as to be useless...

That floor spacing would be :banderas:...but defensively they would be gawd awful.

Doesn't really mater what you do with Kanter and Adams or when you play them...

One can't defend...

One can't score...

They need to just gun for the no 1 seed and hope for the best

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
fukk it, I'll take Justin Anderson and a future pick.

Chauncey isn't some uniformed outsider, he played with Ty and is regularly with the team. if he says Ty is toxic, then we need to get rid of his ass before training camp.

we don't have the luxury of time anymore.

What u want for gallinari?

Duncan is the only one of them that KD would have real problems with, the other 3 are going to shoot more jumpers than anything else. Serge at C has been in our top lineups for a while now.

Seem to recall Adams doing pretty well against Duncan on Christmas, if you consider 16 pts, 15 rebs, 3 blks, & 2 stls decent for a guy still learning :manny:

That's a random game in December...

Toss out his numbers during some games that actually mean something...like the WCF when SA beat them in 6...

I don't think you want KD guarding any post players at all seeing as how he is coming off of multiple foot surgeries...

I think you want to keep KD feet far away from the feet of the largest men on the floor...

He is going to have to carry you offensively...I would think you would want to hide him on the other teams worst offensive perimeter player...

KD is not physical built to have to hoist up 30 shots a game AND guard big men on a consistent basis...doing one is going to seriously impact how he does the other due to his slight frame and lack of upper body strength...

And that is not a knock on KD...it is what it is...as a coach I don't want my perennial all nba mvp candidate player mixing it up with big men when he has trouble posting up the likes of chris paul and tony allen...

IBlocka can barely handle LMA without practically getting into fight, now at David West into that fukkery, Iblocka won't even see a fade coming while trying rise up on LMA :wow:

This happens damn near every time they meet up.

I'm actually very concerned because Ibaka has been floating more and more toward the perimeter on offense and defense in the last two years...

On offense he has turned into pretty much a stretch 4...real strange seeing as how he was a very good offensive rebounder and a really good finisher at the rim...

There were times last year where teams were just killing OKC inside and I am thinking "is Serge not playing" and he was just randomly guarding a small forward...

I worry about him, KD, and Russ basketball intelligence...I have seen all 3 do some outright :dahellwhat:things...

Like everyone else I just assumed it was Scott Brooks fault...but the more I really watched this team the more I feel like collectively their bball IQ is so low that it might not be much a coach can do with them rather than let them play ISO ball and hope for the best...
