I don't get this.  Golden State switches everything, so a pick and roll between Lebron and Love, where Iguodala ends up guarding the latter, results in a 3, iirc?  Come on, Lebron, use that "massive bbiq" ::) and through it inside.  Taking a jump shot against Golden State is bailing them out, imo.

Cavs got a washed up Deron Williams and a more than washed up Richard Jefferson playing big minutes in the finals...GM LeBron gotta do something about that in the summer.

like what??

they have like zero resources left

Don't worry, the league will figure it out.

Probably figure out a way to sign Wade and Melo.

I mean, he can't even stay near him, Durant is blowing by him on every play. At least force him to take a contested jumper.

I think people underestimate the effect a Cavs whooping this series might mean for us, especially if it's as convincing as it seems like it will be. Griffin and Hayward will both be watching this, and if advancing deep in the playoffs is their primary goal, then moving East is a no-brainer.

If wade wanted to he can go to cavs for minimum. Same with bosh. Would be an interesting turn of  events


Bosh can just wait until the finals to play and lebron would be cool with it

Paul George should be thinking twice about joining the Lakers too.

Yeah, and the Warriors core is young, they will be a major roadblock for many years to come in the West.

Winning has nothing to do with his interest in LA.

Kevin Love, Kyrie and Thompson all look human--shows you our lack of talent.

GS looks completely in control, yet they're only shooting 23% from 3 and 42% overall. Cleveland is even shooting 41% from 3 and 40% overall. Bad news for Cleveland.
