@smooshCHN
How much rose bribe you ?
@birdman
Bron is in complete control of the cavs now.
Concerning GSW,let see how well the spurs but knowing the spurs they might wait till the playoffs before going HAM.
Curry has to be doubled immediately he cross half court that creates easy layups and corner three's for the other guys don't no how you can defend that.

Roland17:
Tyroon Lue is long overdue a head coaching position, tutored and mentored by Doc Rivers, My only issue is managing the Cavs locker room, too many egos to deal with for a rookie coach.

The Cavs and Lebron understand the window of opportunity is closing with Lebron and Blatt does not exactly provide that assertiveness or technical intelligence the Cavs need, the roaster is deficient if it ever hopes to compete with the west, I don't exactly think it's about how they lost to the Warriors, this has been coming.

Ummmmm. For those questioning Rondo this season, abeg make una dey try follow other teams, no be only una favorite teams, this is not the Rondo of the Mavs but with the Kings..Rondo has been terrific this season, his combination with cousins has produced results...the stats are there...I no wan talk too much..

The result of the All Star voting is what happens when fans have power, how ever I am still in support of fans voting after all the all star games is all about showing gratitude to the fans...this is the only year I did not vote..

I am tired of this David blatt does not know his X and O, or is not that assertive or does not have technical intelligence.

This guy is a basketball god in Isreal... The 2nd best league in the world.

It is just tough, and i think it will be tough for any first year coach in the league to manage the Ego of a self proclaimed king. Rumor also has it that this same guy called Lebron did not buy into Spoelstra coaching method in miami, But thank goodness Eric was Pat Riley boy, if not, the guy would have been fired because of some queen who throws tantrum at any given opportunities. Lebron thinks he is the coach, and i saw this happening since they lost the championship. I am surprised they did not fire him before the season started. Its tough to coach when your best player does not buy into what you are trying to do. eff lebron man.... I can not wait for him to go (2-5) in his ring chase so we can all put a stop to him being the greatest to ever do it. The guy could not even hold the torch of being the best player for 5 freaking straight years. He is a freaking queen.

It does not matter what anyone says, what Tyrone lue does, that team is not winning a damn ring.

Rondo might still not make the reserves talking about PG's in the west

Thunder fire you...

In fact if Demarcus gets shortlisted and Rondo isn't, Cousins should boycott the game. Wetin Kings and Knicks have done this season is amazing

Its not easy being coach in the NBA, you need to either get a superstar to by into your plan for the team or get them young enough during development.


To all my Rondo fans the guy they play for contract next year it not like the kings go reach post season.

Lol. Are you talking about this season or previous seasons? The only elite in this list are CP3, Westbrook and Wall, probably Lillard

Curry plays more of SG than PG, Irving plays more of SF sef. I no talk say curry is not the best player this season ooo, just said others play better at his position


If you think Rondo is not in your top 2 or 3, probably you haven't watched Kings this season. His stats should be higher if Boogie could at least make 50% of his shots.
Rondo can't reach his Celtics peak but he's a hair close this season.

Roland17:


I don't expect the Kings to make the post season, they don't have the surrounding talent to push for the post season but we are not going to undermine Rondos influence or play this season irrespective of next year being his contract year.

SIRcumalot:

So is this not a case where a player put up great stats on a bad team ?
Am not saying he is not good enough somebody will surely pay him.

SmooshCHN:
Curry plays more SG?? What about Klay Thompson? Irving more SF?? I disagree. So the fact a PG can drop 40, 50 or average 30 disqualifies him being a PG? Ranjon Rondo is not better PG than Curry both last season and this season.Curry puts on big numbers but he plays his PG position better than many. There's nothing like true PG. If you play a PG role, your handles, passing, assertiveness, versatility and play making and drawing ABILITY must always be on point..If a PG has the chance of getting basket, he must. He's not the least entitled to shoot the basket. BTW, if your team understand you're a very good shooting PG it's a plus and if you're very bad at shooting you're fast becoming a liability except you have a jumper to compliment or you have a very good SG

This is what I culled as a definition from Wikipedia:

A point guard has perhaps the most specialized role of any position..... They are expected to run the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right players at the right time...... A point guard's job is to create scoring opportunities for his/her team, or sometimes attack the basket....Point guards are often valued more for their assist totals than for their scoring. Another major evaluation factor is Assist-to-Turnover ratio, which reflects the decision-making skills of the player. Still, a first-rate point guard should also have a reasonably effective jump shot.

Sporting Charts said....

The point guard is commonly referred to as the "floor general" or "a coach on the floor". The point guard should be able to run the offense, control the pace, and know how to distribute the ball. He is expected to be the primary ball handler on the court, and thus, every set offensive play typically starts with him.

Some of the best pure point guards in the history of the NBA include Magic Johnson, Bob Cousy, Isiah Thomas, John Stockton, and Walt Frazier.

Even Payton last 2 years

Right now, there’s only three true point guards in the NBA. And people don’t understand what true point guards are. True point guards are a person who can take a basketball team and get assists, be a coach, score when he has to, play defense. I think Chris Paul does that very well, and I think Tony Parker does it very well. And people who don’t like the kid, Rondo, are crazy. I think his attitude might not be the way people want it to be, but Rondo is a great basketball player and a great point guard. He can do all of them things.


Majority of point guards currently exhibit few of what a point guard does. Does it work for Curry, Lillard, et al? Yes because they're the best shooters/players in their teams and it shows with their stats but playing at that position originally isn't their forte. Why are two PGs then starting for the West at the All Star?


You can use football as a guide. Some of the best players in the world don't play their true positions be it midfield or wing but they are efficient in scoring.

In fact you win sef

This voting process is crap. John Wall this season is the best pg in the East, Rondo in the West. Butler should be ahead of Wade and where are the centers?

Still don't understand wetin Bryant dey do there. The coaches might include in the bench but as a starter? Come on...

@birdman
What do you think is the new ceiling for this team ?
Have always stood up for Bron on this thread but this doesn't look good.i know the goal is still the champion let just see how things plays out for awhile

A40:


espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14629892/nba-final-unraveling-david-blatt

LeBron clearly wanted a yes man. Blatt was just way in over his head but he didn't hire himself and I'm sure he wouldn't have taken the job if this circus was part of the package.

Still a bizarre sack. Do not see Lue magically turning the Cavs to Champions

What I deduce from the article aside Blatt's foibles is Lebron's Russia sized ego, clearly he feels he knows better than the coach. If you are going to keep hiring yes men might as well make him coach and cut out the middle man

birdman:


They have come again oooo. The only people that thought this was a bizzare sack are people that loved seeing LBJ lose to start with. Anyone could see where this season was going - Cavs win the ECF and get flogged in the finals. All these sudden crocodile tears for Blatt when we know folks were waiting to see another finals loss. After that stupid play Blatt drew in game 4 of the finals, I knew this guy was out of his league. And so did the players.

birdman:

Something Cav/LBJ haters need to know. Blatt is a rookie coach in the NBA. And superstars in the NBA have some input into what happens on the team. Nothing about Blatt's rotations inspired confidence. Deal with it. If you didnt have a problem with it when Kobe's ego was running amok in lala land, you need to hold your nose right now.

Anyhow ima dust off all that haterade now. This team will be in the finals barring injuries. Lue! throway salute!
