    oh and he passes it out to shooters when they're open or when he wants to re-post. Dwight kind of just settles and it's predictable he's going up for the shot.

    Only threat to the Warriors are Spurs. Cavs would get demolished again.

    Dwight has been throwing up airballs lately. I see drummond has a simplified post game as well

    i'm watching dellavedova. i feel like that airball 3 against chicago meant something. he's already airballed a 3 today and then just blew a wide open layup.

    Dwight knows he is not getting the ball back if he passes out to repost that's why he tries to back down from the 3 point line. He is at the three point line because our guards have no Idea when to get him the ball when he has sealed.

    Our guards have no Idea what a repost is. They think if Dwight is passing the ball out it's because he has given up on the post chance not so he can get better positioning.

    Hey, the Rockets made their miracle comeback against the Clippers last year with Harden on the bench. New market inefficiency--benching a star to win.

    Weren't the Cavs a few points away from 3-0? They were the closest team to beat the Warriors last year than anybody and they were missing Irving and Love.

    Although, that's not saying much, even if they went 3-0, from the way the rest of the games went Cleveland might have been the first team to ever lose a series where they were winning 3-0. LOL.

    This year has dropped a lot of doubt on the idea that Cleveland would have been better off if Love and Irving had played. The Warriors beat them twice with their full squad, once by 30+ (and it was 40+ when the starters left). Not to mention the Cavs haven't looked any better this year than last year's playoffs.

    While Love and Irving are offensive stars, they give a ton back on defense. I don't think the Cavs match up any better with or without those two.

    Dudes comparing a 30 post back surgery to a 22 old Drummond?

    Dwight at 22 would ate the Cavs Front Court Alive

    Cavs didn't win the first 2 games at GS in the Finals last season. They were up 2-1 but never 3-0.
