Maybe, I just feel like the Spurs have more discipline, play better defense and the talent is relatively close enough those two factors get them the win.

I hear you and understand. But as I have said all year the Cavs have been hiding plays and playing possum during the year.

The spurs also have no one that can handle Kyrie or even love for that matter.

The key is can love guard LA on the block.

But we will see.........but I highly doubt this will be some spurs sweep or they win in 5 games stuff.

At least it's not a acl

Best case scenario, he's out a couple days to a week

Worst case scenario he tore his mcl and is out 4-6 weeks

:francis:

True on ACL damage. But also how bad is the MCL sprain. Those can be a bytch especially for a basketball player. Dude could be out for a very long time.

Depends on the person
No it doesn't. Show me a player who sprained their mcl and wasn't out at least 2 weeks. That's best case scenario. There's literally over two dozen cases of players spraining their mcls and being out 4+ weeks. Me saying 2 weeks is even generous.

Not a single superstar in the history of the league could escape criticism for shooting 38% overall and 27% from 3 as a ball-hogging #1 option. LeBron, KD, and Curry would be killed for this by casual fans and analysts alike. So either Heliflopter isn't a legit star and people are admitting as much by giving him passes every postseason, or people are being insane when it comes to this flopping and flailing bozo. And averaging 7+ assists a game is offset by his usage rate and his 5 turnovers a game. The entire team is a landfill. Morey "the genius" assembled a team full of malcontents and limited dummies; Fright Coward is a stiff doofball; and Slimbo Slice is out there looking like the absolute worst combination of Kobe and Iverson on their worst days on a nightly basis come playoff time. The Rockets have gone nowhere fast since Morey took over, and they're on their way to the same nowhere because the franchise and their fans can't be honest about the roster or the GM. That gutless Clipper collapse was the worst thing that could've happened to them last season, because it fed the delusions and vanity of those morons.
I agree with pretty much everything you typed and I don't think Harden is on anyone's top five list, which is probably why he's not getting skewered like other guys have.

Not to mention he has a bad ankle as well on the other leg.

He is a PG too that scores his points off of screens and running around as well.
