Cavs rolling Hawks..

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

GS vs Houston game was more fun to watch, but digging the results of the Cavs vs Hawks so far.

Beats being in the lottery every year I guess.

What a nail biter of a game.

3-0, stick a fork in the Hawks.

LeBron is the best player in the league. It's not really even close. Curry is great. Durant is great. Harden is great. They aren't LeBron though. The Cavs are playing without two of their best three players. Hell if you count Varejao they are really missing three starters on a team that has been criticized for its depth. The Hawks aren't a joke team either. They've had their issues, but this Cavs team when you consider the injuries is worse than the team he quit on 5 years ago. I think he's just a better player.

I really hope the GSW beat them in the finals, but I wouldn't bet against LeBron. The Cavs have no one to guard Curry though. That's going to be a fun finals.

Lebron missed his first 10 shots. He's disappeared in games. He's really not been the force he was 5 years ago. The difference is the teams. Delly and Shump are playing magnificently. Mozgov is underrated. The team has chemistry and has that D it was missing with Love and Irving in the line up at times early in the season when they were mediocre. I watched both teams and I disagree that this one is weaker. Irving is really overrated.

I really hope Cleveland beats GSW, but Curry isn't going to be the guy who beats the Cavs. He'll get his points, but it matters more how the Cavs D plays overall more than how he does. GSW has a very deep bench, and more quality players. The Cavs will need to get more from Lebron in the finals.

I'm intrigued by the offseason and if Love will stick around. I really have no idea right now.

He won't. This Cavs team has more talent with a full roster, but this team with Love and Irving out has very little talent. Yes LeBron missed the first 10 shots, but he ended the game with what 38pts 17 rbs 13 assists? One rebound away from a triple double the last game too? He's just so dominant. Part of it is because he has to be, there's just not much else on the team. With regard to Mozgov, he's a good big, but guys like that look good next to guys like LeBron. Same with Thompson. He's good, but he's not that good. Shumps a nice player though. I like Irving. He needs to grow up a bit, but he's a really good basketball player. He just needs to adapt his game to what they need him (less ball stomping).

Lebron seems to be injured. How do I know this? Because he says it every fucking time someone puts a mic in his face.

Let's go GSW!

So with Irving out and Love out from earlier do you think it's a cinch for GSW?

It may have been even if they were playing. It's just too much for LeBron to handle on his own.

The Cavs ran out of gas, you saw it the last few games. Delly and Shump are players. If the Cavs had Love and Irving, I think it would've been a fairly even series.

Fuck JR Smith. He gives hope and takes it away in the same damn quarter.
