Pretty crazy, people saying LeBron needs to score 40 every game for the Cavs to win but now Love might need to score 40 or a third guy to score 20+ too

Lol you used to be a huge Cavs homer during the regular season. I remember you kept saying that Cleveland was going to make it to the NBA Finals this year. What happened? Did Indiana open your eyes to the truth that the Cavs just aren't the same this year as last year?

Seeing that you're a Warrriors fan, of course you'd rather want Kyrie in Boston than Rozier

The Cavs burnt out Lebron. For one, Lebron has to play great defense as the Cavs lack the stopper to keep Tatum in check. For two, Lebron has to score most points on his own despite all injuries and attention defensively. The whole roster offers nearly no help at all. Only Karl Korver provides something regularly.

Of course Kyrie would stomp him. Kyrie is way better.

I'm talking about how Rozier plays and fits with this team. It's proven with what we're seeing right now.
Kyrie on the other hand is a ball stopper. Iso plays wouldn't mesh with this team.

A few things...

Underestmated Coach Stevens' brilliance. Now I look at the Cavs' lineup, after Lebron and Love....the rest of the team will not even be starters formost NBA teams. Coach Lue should be fired even before the end of the playoffs.

Boston had a lot of scoring droughts this playoffs.

Maybe when Tatum and Brown get more polished, that would lessen. But that's when you need Kyrie.

C's polling @ 80%. :lol:

Expecting a split on games 3 and 4. Boston could very well close this out in 5.

I just hope Kyrie would buy into the Celtics system without any problem, instead of going iso more often.
Kyrie with Brown and Tatum would be a deadly young core moving forward.
