Are The GSW and CLE super teams good or bad for the NBA?

[wildturkey]

Kyrie cant make a play for others though- cnat play defense....bad fit with LeBron though right? lol.

10 assists, 7 steals and another game winner.

Tell me who you would rather take a game winning shot in the NBA than Kyrie Irving

And you would have vanished for a week had Irving missed that shot

 

[Shanemansj13]

Oh please, reverse the teams and you would be posting the same thing. See ya in the Finals.

Finals? Still got games to play and it's a long season. I know bad calls are made but saying they lost the game bc of the refs is complete bullshit.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I honestly don't get this.

Why is every comeback a choke job? People would rather talk negative about the Warriors then praise Cleveland. Does not make sense to me.

GS had a 5-6 possession drought that corresponded with the Cavs hot streak. The final minute had 2 very fortunate breaks for Cleveland. 1 should have been a runout dunk for Durant after a stop and a crazy loose ball sequence, but instead Kyrie dug the ball out and scored.

GS had a bad possession trying to run clock (most teams make the same mistake in that situation), Kyrie hit a tough shot that was defended as well as it could have been and then RJ got away with a foul at the end.

It was a great game. Nobody choked, Cleveland just went and got it. End of story.

It was more of just a rebuttal to him saying the refs cost them the game. I believe the Cavs didnt play their best and made a hell of a comeback. Although, you know I think KD is a great player I just think he has to prove himself in the clutch on this team. His time will come soon

 

[Shanemansj13]

But I would like to point out that GSW won 166 straight games when they had a 14 pt lead in the 4th quarter. I call it a hell of a win being Cavs fan but it is what it is.

For me GS is still the favorite and when KD made the move to GS they were easily the favorite, no about it. I am interested to see how he handles the pressure. He has had a great season so far but the playoffs and Finals is where it matters.

Unless any team LBJ is on is a "SuperTeam", this Cavs teams isn't Super.

He is.

I love the notion of people referring to Cleveland as a 'super team'

Take lebron away and they are a 'lottery team'

yeah, that's probably true. But their in that discussion because they DO have their "3 headed monster" such as it is. in comparison to the "super teams" of the past i kinda doubt if they're Boston or Miami strong, but it is what it is...

Whoever said kyrie was a bad fit with lebron? Just about everyone said the opposite when Lebron signed with Cleveland.

Your whole bragging about Kyrie assist numbers is really getting annoying. He is a point guard. Making play for others is something expected out of every starting point guard. I never seen a poster brag so much about a freaking point guard racking up assist.

And lastly steals doesnt make you a great defender. So good for him and his 7 steals. He still isn't a good defender. So if you're expecting anyone to call kyrie some great defender because he had 7 steals then you're out of your mind

They are nothing close to a super team. GS is the only super team in the NBA right now.

To be fair, there were a couple people that said Kyrie was a bad fit with Lebron but pretty sure they admitted they were wrong. I think at this point and time Lebron can play with just about anyone and can make them a better player.

Kyrie when he came into the league wasnt a good defender and he wasnt a good passer either, he looked for his own shot. I think what he is trying to say is who he has evolved since Lebron has come back to Cleveland. He has improved defensively and he now looks for his teammates more than ever. Remember he is still only 24. He is improving every year at becoming more of a complete player, but still his best quality is his offense and clutchness.

Not even going to consider them a super team.

The 2000-2002 Lakers were the last super team. Before that you had the 90's Bulls (minus the Jordan baseball years), the 80s Lakers and the 60s Celtics. That's just about it.

Great game by the Cavs, but I still got GS winning it all

Not a lock. But I felt good about losing yesterday just cause everyone had a bad game outside of KD and klay. West was decent though. I wanna see more games before I make a final judgement on these two teams

To be honest, I think this team minus Lebron(pending on who's the SF) still makes the eastern conference finals

The way I see it, with the way Cleveland consistently traps Curry, if they have KD be the primary ball handler(or point forward), with Curry on the wing at SG, I don't know how Cleveland defends that

Second round, max. If lebron had never re-joined a few years back, half the decent role players wouldn't have come either. Kyrie isn't a leader.

Just look at the teams record without lebron.

I think it will be hard to make a judgement on the 2 since they only play one more time. I'm still rocking with the Warriors though. As I stated several times yesterday, Zaza shouldn't play against Cleveland and I would go with KD or Draymond at Center a lot of the time especially when Frye or Love is at the 5. Warriors just need to figure out this Curry issue. Its extremely hard to beat the same team 4 out of 7 in consecutive years if that team is just as good or better than your team......As the 2013-2014 Heat and 2015-2016 Warriors will tell you.

If the Warriors are healthy, I just don't see it.

 

[bksballer89]

Let's also not ignore the facts. The Cavs led for 42 seconds last night.

Also the Warriors somehow screwed this play up which would have ended the game.

 

[Mecca]

Lmfao @ The Cavs not being a Super Team.

They are.

They might be Batman to the Warriors Superman.

But, they are still a Super Team.
