Thomas was a product of Stevens system. Crowder only helps to further the case.

I don't want anything to do with the Cavs in the playoffs

System. Amazing how they've done this without Kawhi, Duncan retired and Tony Parker and Manu both in wheelchairs.

As long as they have LBJ they are a problem. Honestly, think they will go to the finals again. However, they will a have a beat down waiting for them when they play GS.

The Spurs are good, really good. However, they are playing the Suns with out Booker. Wouldn't put much stock in this win.

Maybe he's not 4th in MVP voting without Stevens, but he's always been an efficient scorer even as a rookie in Sacramento. 36/23/85 shooting splits is not like him

Crowder doesn't seem to be skilled at anything. Had a feeling he was overrated, but I bought into what people were saying when the Cavs traded for him. "Cavs got their Draymond Green" Oh boy...

I don't understand all the angst with the Cavs

They have three all stars, which is more than anyone in the East, it's just that at the moment one is injured and another one is recovering.

When they get well they will kick everyone's butt and they will go to the finals again. Simply because it's better to have 3 all stars than 2 or 1 or none.

Want no part of LeBron in a playoff series. I'm going to bet on him against any team that doesn't have 4 All-Stars in the starting lineup.

Spurs are the counter to any arguments supporting that NBA coaches are not that important.

Spurs played this like a playoff game. Fighting hard through screens, rebounds. Very sticky defense. Phx couldnt hit an open 3 and most shots were very contested. Spurs lost their last two. Think pop laid into them a bit? Phx was dreadful on top of the spurs showing up with a club.

Phoenix shot 3 for 32 from 3... that's something

IT is a massive liability on D, LeBron was pissed at him in the 4th. After that look LeBron gave him in the 4th he was subbed out every defensive pocession for Cedi Osman.

I'm looking forward to playing the Cavs this year and kicking their old asses.

I’d rather avoid the raptors, sadly.

If we let Thon shoot 32 3’s in a game, he’d make at least 8 right?

The Raptors are a much better team than the Cavs. They fixed a lot of their issues during the offseason.

Normally I would prefer to face the Cavs in the playoffs instead of the Raptors. They issue is that the Cavs have LeBron and history shows you don't want to face his team in the playoffs. At some point though LeBron "taking over" during the playoffs will end.

AussieBuck · Post #939 » by **AussieBuck** » Thu Feb 8, 2018 8:38 am

LeBron is near enough to the best player ever but he cant make that team score 120 every game. Also we have Giannis and better teammates and now a better coach. Not scared of anyone in the East

Lou Williams re-signs for 24/3. I have a feeling he could have gotten more.
How does that contract make Telly's contract look...
