Being able to run fast and dunk = Star I agree w/you on this one. I have to say this: I think I advocated acquiring Love more than anyone on here. I thought he was a perfect fit for Blatt's motion offense. Well, LBJ decided he didn't want to run that offense and that was that. However, I still have to say I was wrong about Love. The more I watch him, the more I think he is a punk. Seems like a very entitled guy. Not tough at all. I have no proof of this, but when I watch the Cavs interactions on the bench and after reading several comments about the parties involved.........I kinda get the feeling that Kyrie and Love have bonded and they aren't including LeBron. I am not saying which side is right, but I think when there are little cliques w/in teams, it can only be wrong. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Lebron is easy to target and blame for doing something like that. However, I wonder how much of our lockeroom problems fall on Love and Kyrie. Lebron proved in Miami he can shut up and sacrifice.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious last night on the bench where Love turned his back to LeBron and him and Kyrie kept talking while LBJ was trying to speak. Very uncomfortable.

So what can we get for LeBron in a trade?

Yeah..........and I think that is what Andy was talking about when he said there was a big difference between Golden State and Cleveland in terms of playing as a team.

The Celtics are such a dirty team. I hate playing them. I love how the national media says Delly is dirty, but somehow the Celtics are just a scrappy bunch.

Lebron might pass Kareem in 5-6 years. That'd be freaking nuts.

Great Team win tonight. 8 guys were in double figures and they had 27 team assists. Shump had 15 rebounds!!
I think we found an interesting lineup that works these last few games. Shump and Delly in the backcourt, Lebron at the 4 and Thompson at the 5. You can pretty much squeeze JR, Irving or whoever else in there somewhere. Shump takes the PG or the toughest defensive assignment. Delly guards the other guard and runs the offense. Lebron plays off the block and TT does his thing at Center. It's our own version of small ball. Having Shump's Defense helps shut down the PGs that usually rip through us and Delly just gets the offense flowing better. You saw in in the box score tonight, as both were +26. Lebron just seems to play better at the PF too, so long as he doesn't have to defend a big body.

Playing around with the NBA Trade Machine, I started wondering who of the big three to get rid of..
Eventually it turned into which of the Big 3 do I actually want to keep...
I dumped all 3 and ended up all with Anthony Davis, Demarcus Cousins, Victor Oladipo, Tyreke Evans, and Ben McLemore...
Fun.

Lebron just seems to play better at the PF too, so long as he doesn't have to defend a big body. The lineup's we've had last two games have shown me that if lebron is willing to play the 4, we have some options. I think if you swap kyrie for CP3 lebron would embrace playing the 4 because lebron will trust CP3 in ways he dont' trust kyrie. I think we've also shown that Love is replaceable too..problem is this would have been great the first time around not when lebron is at the end. problem with moving one of them is Love/Kyrie have a chance to play together for a good bit of time. But I do love the small ball lineup. But not getting frye in there doesn't make much sense, hes a perfect small ball player because of his size and athleticism and can shoot the 3. You could put him at the 5 sometimes instead of TT if you want more scoring options

Yeah, I really don't get the Frye trade now. Since we've got him, he's played even less than Andy did.

Ironically I gotta admit I actually like this years Memphis team more than any other Memphis team in the past. If they get the Indiana version of Lance Stephenson to come out, I think they'll beat the Clips in the first round. They also obviously need Gasol back as well. They're a lot more athletic and not as 1 dimensional.

How come there's no doom and gloom post talking about GS isn't ready to win a championship because they lost to the worst team in the league?
if that was the cavs, so many people would be on here blasting the squad after a loss like that.

Probably because they play team ball, listen to the coach, and are threatening the best single-season record of all-time. Other than that.......yeah, they suck.

Unfortunately, we have off nights every two games it seems. On another note, I've got tickets to the Cavs/Lakers game this Thursday. I was hoping it would be an easy win for us, but now I'm a little worried!

With a healthy Gasol I think they could beat the Clips. Another team to watch out for is Milwaukee. They're gonna probably go hard after Della because he'd be the perfect fit for them. Larry Sanders being a moron screwed them big time.

Carter-Williams is now out for the year for the Bucks. Tough break.
Cavs should roll tonight. Conley, Randolph, and Barnes are all out tonight for Memphis.
