yes you're downplaying KD. and you're just assuming you know what the roster looks like. but yeah i get people are bitter and going to try to do whatever they can to make themselves feel better
Don't know what the roster looks like but I highly doubt its better than a 2017 younger lebron cavs team.
you keep referencing it, yet it has no bearing on the present. you're using them as a standard when it just isn't valid. that's your problem
Any older Lebron team he assembles isn't going to be better than a 2017 Cavs team with Kyrie and Love. Yep, call it what you want. lol
Lebron is either full of himself or loves LA life. He is in for a surprise. You can get PG13 and Leonard but they are not beating us or Goldenstate. He should think twice before coming West.
once again false logic. your reasoning is winning 1 game vs a historical GS team. not sure if ive seen a logic further from being comprehensible
Healthy, yes he is. A healthy Kawhi is a top 5 player in the league, something Love and Kyrie aren't. He's also a perfect fit next to any superstar because he can catch and shoot, run around without the ball, play lock down defense AND take turns handling the ball if that's what you want. Kawhi is the absolute best 2nd banana you could possibly get in the NBA.
Kyrie this year (before injuries) was in the mvp race and arguably ahead of Lebron in the mvp race avg 25 pts and 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Love is avg about 18 pts and 9 rebounds. Kawhi this past year was 16 pts and 5 rebounds. Even 2 years ago, before the injuries he was 26 pts and 6 rebounds and 4 assists. I don't see Kawhi jumping to 2016 stats in 2018-2019.
To be fair, you listed LeBron, Kyrie (fair), Love (mehhh), Korver and Smith (LOL) as I guess, the 5 best players on that team? To list Korver and Smith is like listing that you couldn't win with "former all-star Roy Hibbert" and "6MotY Jamal Crawford." Also, being younger has nothing to do with it. You could argue that "2018 postseason LeBron" was his best ever. I don't predict a steep dropoff.
The Rockets haven't proven that they are the best team in basketball. When relatively healthy, we were up 3-2 against a GS team without Iggy, sure. Agree with everything else in your post though. As long as the Warriors top 4 stay together, LBJ ain't beating them with whatever team he assembles in LA. If LBJ recruits the snake KD to play with him though that's another story lol.
Love is a 18 and 11 reb guy. Kyrie was a top player. 2018 postseason Lebron against any east team was going to win (again). I don't think he matches or does better but I agree I don't see a drop off either.
