Lebron is flat out better than Curry at this point

    This much I can say, the Rockets REBOUNDING, particularly at the PF position has to VASTLY improve. Green & GS Warriors were killing the Rockets in that area. And in the Cavs series Tristan Thompson/Mozgoz etc are matching up with them quite nicely.

    Also, the Cavs are playing disciplined defense. They aren't over playing/gambling (Brewer). They are following the defensive gameplan to a T. They are picking Curry up FULL COURT on the inbounds.

    The Cavs are also not turning the ball over and getting back on defense, limiting the Warriors fast break.

    I'll blow your mind. It isn't just beef brisket that isn't vegetarian. NO BEEF IS VEGETARIAN! Though, strangely enough, the cow that the beef comes from is vegetarian.

    Durant was great last year for sure. He's still going to be a foot note next to Lebron; the Clyde Drexler to Lebron's Jordan.

    The gap between Jordan and Drexler was quite a bit bigger than the one between LeBron and Durant. I see Durant as a top 10-15 player if he stays healthy.

    Lebron could play all positions on the court.
    And he plays both offense and defense.
    And he keeps himself in great shape.

    I think you're being blinded by homerism here. Drexler was great, but Durant's last season was better than any of Drexler's. Durant is like Dirk, but a better shooter, passer, defender, and way better ball-handler. He's completely ridiculous.

    Just curious . .. How old are you?
    Did you ever watch Drexler play in his prime
    or are you basing this completely on 'stats'?

    The winner of the playoffs is just a matter of how hard each team plays... NOBODY on the Cavs was contributing not named Delly and Lebron. Smith and Shump were both garbage, played lazy defense, and NOT team oriented last night. That was so evident when Lebron sat down and the 20 point lead disappeared in like 5 minutes. The rockets beat themselves by not playing all out... makes me think we need bev more than we really think or see on paper.

    The thing that confuses me about this post is the "at this point" part of the title.....was there ever a point where Lebron wasn't "flat out better" than Curry? I mean Curry's a great shooter and all, but no sane person ever put him above Lebron I'd hope.
