Re: NBA Thread
It took two amazing performances from Kyrie and LeBron to beat a team without the main cog of their defense. I worry they don't have enough in them to do it again...and again.

Re: NBA Thread
That's kind of what I'm thinking. A lot of Kyrie's shots were tough, well defended shots too. I bet they are grateful for the extra day of rest the way those two played.Joesanity wrote:It took two amazing performances from Kyrie and LeBron to beat a team without the main cog of their defense.

Re: NBA Thread
This game was a stark reminder of how mediocre Golden State's big guys are.

Verb, what do you think of this Butler/Wolves trade talk?

Re: NBA Thread
No way they come up with a deal good enough to make it happen. The 5 pick and Ricky rubio (or something) isn't going to get it done. I do laugh at the idea of Gar and Thibs potentially talking on the phone though.

I saw a potential Butler/Gibson for Lavine/4th pick/Pek/Deng. Does that interest you at all.verb_to_trust wrote:No way they come up with a deal good enough to make it happen.

Re: NBA Thread
Not really. I think the bulls would love to draft Kris Dunn though and he's a top 5 pick probably.Monkey_Driven wrote:I saw a potential Butler/Gibson for Lavine/4th pick/Pek/Deng.

Re: NBA Thread
The deal would need to include Wiggins and that's not going to happen. The pick is nice but they won't package it with anything good.

Re: NBA Thread
I can't imagine the deal would go through. I think Thibs needs to chill and actually practice with these guys a few times first before trading anyone.verb_to_trust wrote:The deal would need to include Wiggins and that's not going to happen.

I bet he brings in Noah, but then again he and KG hate each other and KG will probably be around in some capacity.

I want the Warriors to win tomorrow night so the trade rumors can dominate the headlines.

It would be nice for this to finally end. Worst basketball season I can remember from my perspective as a fan.

Re: NBA Thread
It still seems like when LeBron has the ball and Curry switches on to him that LeBron has no idea what to do. It's quite curious.
