gtfooh lol. Only thing any of those guys have on Rose is reliability due to injury. As far as skills go, your list is laughable.
Curry
Irving
Wall
I. Thomas
Teague
Lilliard
R. Jackson
Conley
Bledsoe
Dragic
Paul
Are all definitely better than current D.Rose.
Parker
E. Payton
Lawson
Beverly
Kemba
Would be the next level, which is where I'd probably slot Rose.

I would agree that Rose belongs in the same group as Kemba, but just above him. Dragic is probably just below Rose as well. Jackson and Thomas, however, should both be at the bottom of the listed players, IMO. Lawson is a turd with a bad attitude, so you can toss him below them if you want, but they are by no means anywhere near the player Rose is, even with his injury concerns.

Conley - debatable
Bledsoe - the rose on the court right now is better
Dragic - the rose on the court right now is better
Paul - better than rose

Parker - the rose on the court right now is better
E. Payton - LOL
Lawson - Lawson is higher up on the list than this but rose still better
Beverly - hard to compare, Harden is real the "point guard on that team"
Kemba - the rose on the court right now is better

Irving, Beverly, Westbrook, Wall, dragic, Lowry, curry, Paul, Conley, Parker, lillard are better than Rose at this point.
Irving, Westbrook, Curry, and Paul are as good as him when he's healthy.

I don't think we beat the Bulls without love. Fucking sick of how unlucky Cleveland is.

And from the sounds of it, that's just the best outcome. More likely to be out the entire playoffs.lhslep134;1724391 wrote:Damn it

The only way I see us beating Chicago is truly transcendental play from Lebron and our role players stepping the f up. Room for margin of error is zero.
UGH

I mean it's a big blow. Kevin Love is a top 25 player so it hurts. However, we still have Lebron James and Irving and its the fucking Bulls. The Bulls suck.

If Lebron wants to truly be thought of as the best player then he needs to step up and win the series without Love.
Granted it wasnt a full series, but Magic stepped up and basically played center for Jabbar when he got hurt. James is much better player than Magic, but Johnson did whatever it took in that one to win it..including taking his game down low.

Right because Lebron doesn't have a history of taking shitty teams to success in the playoffs. Even without Love, this team is SIGNIFICANTLY better than any of his previous teams in Cleveland.

LOL at those that think the Bulls will win. Cavs will still be a 4 to 1 favorite over the lowly Bulls.
The problem is Atlanta. I doubt Love will be 100% for the ECF's.

As already stated, the only way we beat the Bulls is if Lebron takes it to another level and hopefully Kyrie emerges to the next level with the playoffs. Not many games this year where Lebron decided to single handedly win, so hopefully he was saving it up for now.

Fantastic that Olynyk gets to miss the first game of the season, while JR has to miss quality/important games. Seems fair.

JR deserves 2 games. That's 100% on him.
Not much else they could do to Olynyk, other than make the suspension longer.

Am I reading the Cleveland report wrong or does it say he tore his labrum? If that's the case I don't think he'll play again. I just had that surgery a year ago. Ugh the rehab for that shit.
