Avg 25 pts a game in the series is hardly shutting him down.robj55;1078662 wrote:You didn't watch the playoffs last year, I know you did.

Also, aren't you the one who claimed that you watch more football than most people on here put together and that DeShaun Thomas would be an ideal fit for the Cavs at 2? GTFO with your nonsense, and then maybe you'll have some room to be giving tips.

That settles it, you didn't watch the games, Lebron took D Rose in almost every 4th quarter and locked him down.Commander of Awesome;1078670 wrote:Avg 25 pts a game in the series is hardly shutting him down.

LeBron is a freak, much like MAgic was. They're capable of playing multiple positions and dominating them.robj55;1078669 wrote:NO NO NO, a guy who is 6'8'' 260 plus should never be able to stay with a player like Rose, who may be the quickest player in the league and gets in the lane at will, are you serious?
Rose wasn't exactly shutdown, but LBJ slowed him down enough. I'm confused why LBJ wasn't able to do the same to Dirk and Terry in the Finals though?

Your guess is as good as mine bro. It's crazy that Lebron could slow down DRose when other NBA PG's can't even do so, that was the whole point.

Well, other NBA PG's, aside from Westbrook, can't really match D Rose's combination of speed and power.robj55;1078678 wrote:

It's not that hard to fathom.

I absolutely understand your point. Don't necessarily agree, but you're not absurd for believing it.Y-Town Steelhound;1078621 wrote:That's fair. Do you understand what my point is (not saying you have to agree with it)? By saying Kyrie I'm not saying he's the better player now or ever, I'm simply stating that taking Kyrie:
1. Gives me a young, talented player at perhaps THE key position (PG)
2. Gives me a longer window of opportunity to both win a title and have said player playing at an elite level
3. Gives me more options in terms of who I can surround him with because Kyrie doesn't need to be the primary scorer in the offense.
That is all...

You've played ball correct? you know how important leverage and center of gravity is when it comes to playing defense? There is no way a 6'8'' man that size should be able to sit down and stay in front of the fastest and quickest player in the league who is 6'3''.hoops23;1078680 wrote:Well, other NBA PG's, aside from Westbrook, can't really match D Rose's combination of speed and power.

Kyrie is obviously an incredible talent and I'm excited that he is on our team for the foreseeable future.

Lol, nice response. And all I said was Thomas was someone to keep an eye on going forward. I'm guessing you were one of the ones who are thinking he has no shot at an NBA career :laugh:.Mulva;1078666 wrote:Please point out where I stated that what I posted was a fact.

He definitely deseves to be in the conversation. Who else would be up for it? Hawes I'd imagine, maybe Lowry, Lawson? I'm really just trying to think of guys that are having better than expected seasons.
