IT still doesn't look like he's fully recovered. He's a step slow from what he was in previous years, which substantially affects his game. It'll be interesting to see if he ever gets that elite speed back.

Yeah he looks stiff and doesn't run right...more like he shuffles. I honestly believe the hip is going to get worse at some point this season and he will have to have surgery

Warriors are so overrated defensively.

GS just toys with you. Issue is nobody can beat them 4 times in a week and a half

They won't be toying anytime soon when they face the Celtics once again. Team will make sure they won't have any fun even if they win.

Yes I agree. This is no longer a fun matchup. Cleveland can steal a game at home but they are not winning a series

After going to the Warriors, it seems pretty clear he isn't the most competitive guy around.

I'm waiting for The Warriors to step on the gas and just blow this out.

Tristan Thompson is terrible. Man that guy has regressed

I don't understand Cleveland not playing Thompson more. He at least gives them some defensive presence, and his rebounding is still such a valuable tool for them. They're a bad defensive team even with Thompson playing, but they're a whole other level of bad with Love at the 5, at least to the eye test.

He got that huge contract, that he didn't deserve, and fell off a cliff.
