NBA Playoffs

Obviously not well but his teammates aren't the awful slop so many people want to make them out to be. Kevin Love is a borderline Hall of famer.

Kevin Love will almost certainly make the HOF.

And he's had great teammates in the past. I think if Kyrie were on this team they might win this series, since 1-3 they'd be equal to or better than the Warriors, and the Warriors don't have the depth they used to.

Separate note here:

The idea that refs are biased is the lamest thing in sports. Sometimes they suck, sometimes they miss calls. They obviously missed that full court pass. But I find it so boring to see sports through such a lens. Especially since the NBA wants this series to go 7 if it can--why would they favor the Warriors at this stage?

Almost every 50/50 call has gone their way
 
Whatever refs or not its not gonna matter and the Cavs are actually playing pretty well, looks like the Cavs will win their 2nd participation trophy of the series.
 
LeBron just grabbed Bell's arm, threw him to the ground, and got a foul called against him. Stop it with the refs. They suck, both ways.

Thompson is the guy that really impresses me for Cleveland. George Hill has played well, too.

The point is they aren't all these bad players which is the narrative a lot of people are pushing. Love might be in the HOF some day, George Hill has been a good starter on playoff teams for years, Thompson is a great offensive rebounder, Korver has been one of the best 3 point shooters in the league for years.
 
I can't tell if the Cavs are playing well or GS just isn't as dominating this year it won't matter as Cleveland has no shot as it is next year is gonna be very interesting to see while GS is going for the 3 peat, teams in a 3 peat year are never dominating and have to get lucky while the whole league is loading up on them.

They just look bad against GS is what it is GS has better ball movement and is better coached too, not to mention 4 HOF and they are playing without Iguodala. This is also a Cavs team without Kyrie and Jefferson was a big loss for the Cavs.

You can clearly see Bell holding him before that, he was playing like an offensive lineman.
Expand ...
He had his hand on him. He didn't "hold" him.

Regardless, I'm a Celtics fan, so I don't have a dog in this fight. But I'm just sick of everyone complaining about the Warriors because they hate the Warriors and can't see the game for what it is.

Warriors aren't nearly as good as in the past. Biggest factors- the bench is so much weaker than when they used to trot out a second 5 of Iguadola, Lee, Livingston, Barbosa, and Mo Buckets. And Draymond used to be a real option scoring wise (almost a weapon) now they can leave him open. Often there are 2 guys on the floor now for the Warriors who aren't offensive options.

Also now that they have KD the regular season doesn’t matter to them, or matters very little.
 
People that think Durant is a better offensive player than Curry are nuts, IMO. He's the guy that makes that team impossible.

True, Durant is awesome and unguardable but as great as he is he somehow often bogs down their offense. He's so good he can completely take over but the engine of this team will always be the splash brothers.

Have you seen who is in the Basketball HOF, Love will get in.

Most of the questionable members had great college careers or at least a couple of off the chart pro years. I like Love, but I don't see it. If Chris Webber was boarderline, what the heck is Love?
