And I agree. I think Love and Mozgov need more time later in the 4th.

If high level thinking is defined as "above footwedge's level of intelligence", yes.

Sometimes the best coaches get outcoached on individual plays. Blatt's inbounds play was better than Pop's inbounds defense. It happens. Not sure it will happen again, but it happened last night. That's not a knock on Pop it's a compliment to Blatt.

Being able to come to that conclusion requires high level thinking though, something we all know footwedge completely lacks.
I took it as lhslep being facetious, although I could be wrong.

Again....bad coaching by Pop...plain and simple. A "beauty" inbounds pass will never happen if defensed properly. Something that the resident dolt lhshemp will never understand. The Spurs had a guy putting token pressure on the player inbounding the ball (LeBron) for no good reason. They also had 4 guys standing at the foul line. Lunacy. Are they afraid of a back door slam dunk? LOL. You are taught as a 6 year old to stay between your man and the basket. Well, when you are up 3...with a few seconds left you don't play that way. You play above the arc....all 5...all quicks...not bigs...and you play between the inbounds passer and the receiver. you ram the receiver as he is catching the ball..Justas Sir Charles poigniantly pointed out just before the play. Any backscreen is switched and remember it is 5 on 4 at that point since there is no reason to guard the inbound passer.

Pretty amazing to me that in an industry where the coaches and players each make millions and millions of dollars...that they can't figure out how not to piss away games up 3 with only seconds remaining on the clock.

Victor Olidipo is trash, but I very much enjoyed him just dunking all over Delly.

I'd go ahead and give Irving the MVP this year. He's better than Curry.

Why are people worried about the East? They won't win a series in more than 5 games the entire bracket.

In the last two games, Kyrie is averaging 45 ppg, shooting 68% from the field, and 92% from three.

Decent.

I've never seen a guy who can finish better at the rim than Kyrie. For a guy who can't just over power people and dunk over them, he's unreal.

He was "overhyped" in college because of his athletic ability and crazy finishes. So people thought he would come in an be great in the league. He was always going to be fine cause of how athletic he is, but I am honestly surprised at how quickly he has learned to score "easy" buckets.

That said, he has had one heck of a second half to this year. As someone who watches more Orlando games than anyone else, he has started to take on the roll of Scoring guard and not PG like they drafted him for and wasted a year and a half on the experiment. They finally realized Payton is the PG of future and Oladipo and he have been really good since that time (though, Ws are still rare).

Even his yearly stats are nothing to shrug aside as a 2nd year player, IMO. 17ppg, 4rbd, 4ast. 45% FG (48% eFG), 35% 3PT, 82%FT,

Even better since he moved to the 2G only, which I laid out before.

Not that anything would have played out REMOTELY the same. But, would be awesome if he was drafted instead of AB lol

My opinion re: Oladipo. I know you're a big fan Laley, but I view him as a great athlete/above average player. Probably a random all-star nominee or two.

Im pretty realistic, I think though.

Im not saying he is all world. Ive always contended he was the safest pick from that draft class cause he wouldnt bust based on athletic ability alone. If he makes a few ASG...there is no way he is trash though. Which is all I was really saying. Not claiming him as anything else at this stage in his career.

Lol, ok asshole. No need to get all emotional. Did Kyrie piss on your shoes in high school or something?

To every other person out there that isn't roid raging, was simply pointing out the insane efficiency lately. Obviously, COA doesn't permit that type of conversation.

You were braggin' about his 3pt %....over 2 games. I love the Cavs and think Kyrie's great, but keep it in perspective.

Lol, ok. I didn't know my comment of "decent" was gushing with elation about him. I'll try to tone it down for you next time.

Mcw averages 15,6,7. He's trash too.
Putting up numbers on a bad team. I think VO is as athletic as anyone, and gets to the rim well. That's about it.
He did have a really good month of February. He's still not very good though, especially outside the paint.
