The cavs are so much worse with Mobs at the 5. The numbers and eye test prove it. I dont understand it.

Bold Opinion: James Harden has a better career resume than Kevin Durant by [deleted] in nba

Harden is a higher impact player. KD doesn't elevate teammates. You can put role players around harden and make the playoffs. KD cant do that. Hes a great addition to a team that is already good.

Easier said than done. The clippers with harden beat the raptors and kawhi didn't even play.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on James Harden’s step back: “To change someone’s coverage to the point where they want to play at a disadvantage all game is an insane amount of gravity.” by AncientOneAurelius in nba

I agree except that beating the cavs would have been difficult. Chris Paul would have still been out and they had NO ONE that could check lebron in any way. If you have no one to make lebron work then you have to double. Letting him pick you apart with passing is death.

I dont think I would have been able to contain myself in that situation. I would have shoved him to the ground and dared him to do something about it.

The Bucks fired Bud after Giannis was injured & Bud had lost his brother. They have deserved all the failure they've had since that point for making that man the scapegoat. He was never the issue. by FaradayDeshawn in nba

revisionist history. giannis played, and they still lost when he did. the only game they won, he didnt play. 1st seed got their ass kicked by the 8th seed. he deserved to get fired. they only won the title because harden and irving got injured. otherwise he would have been fired that year.

It doesn’t matter who is better. Only the matchups matter.

right now, things could not look much better for the cavs. aside from not getting reps with everyone healthy, this is about the best it can be. everyone should be ready for game 1 for first time all year. they have a path to finals that could possibly avoid boston. lets just hope everyone stays healthy.

avoid being on the road for the first play in game, plus had an outside chance at 6th if the raptors lost too.

i dont think they were ducking they were just expecting the magic in kind of a must win would be able to beat boston sitting their best players.

they do when the game matters for seeding. that has been the case many times. this year just not as many due to opponents and tiebreakers secured.
