If Lebron wants to compete for a title without jumping on a big bandwagon, then he should consider New Orleans (sign and trade for Boogie). I can't see him wanting to be in that market, but he and Davis with Jrue Holiday would be pretty great combo. Holiday likes to play off the ball, so he's the perfect PG to play with Lebron.

Anthony Davis/LBJ combo would be deadly.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. LBJ gets more passes and excuses than any superstar I have ever seen. When the trade happened, this Cavs team handled the Celtics with a healthy Kyrie at the Garden. When that happened people were talking about how great the Cavs were after that trade. Now that same team is just not ready or too old. Get out with the excuses.

This game is showing how valuable Curry actually is. He is strugglng offensivel, KD is lighting it up, yet they are getting dominated. If anyone wants to still believe Curry is the third best on his team needs to watch carefully and learn.

Crazy the Rockets were running PJ and Ariza as the bigs. The game has changed

I should have asked you what your thoughts were when he closed out Anthony Davis with 18, 14, 9, 3, and 2. His averages are up in the playoffs (12, 11, and 9), btw. But let's single out games here and there and confirm our biases.

Klay and Curry were bad, too. They ain't ****, right?

I dont think Curry will ever reach his former heights for the rest of his career. He's injury prone and Durant takes too many touches away.

He'll have great series, don't get me wrong. But he's never gonna be that guy he was for a brief time.

I agree with you here a little Ape but I still think GS offense runs much more efficiently when Curry is on the floor. I dont think KD is the kind of leader on the floor that Curry is.

If Curry continues to struggle, I think the Warriors will lose.

The Warriors have always been built around Curry.

He’s the one who opens the floor for his teammates to get them in rhythm.

He can easily put up +20 points anytime he wants too.

Curry is the only PG who can change the game without the ball in his hands, and that's why they have 3 guys averaging 20+ ppg

It's such a tease to have 2-4 games on every day for a few weeks and then suddenly go to 3-day layoffs.

I hate this time of year. Sports are so boring in the summer after NBA ends and before baseball starts getting near the end of their season. At least we have world cup this year.

So he's a spectacularly good undersized 2 guard.

I would say no, because he's probably the 2nd best ball-handler in the league and one of the best setup guys. He averaged 8.5 apg and 7.7 apg in back to back seasons, before Klay and Draymond (and then later KD) started taking the ball out of his hands. 7.7 apg makes you top 7 in the league this year. He's a PG who has 1 to 3 sets of defensive eyes on him at all times, with or without the ball.

How many turnovers did he have those two years? How many assists has he had since?

Well, his MPG is down but he was 15th in the league this year and 12th last year. Not bad for a guy who's sharing with 2-3 stars (depending on how much Draymond gets on your nerves).

He's averaged better than a 2:1 A:TO ratio for the last 7 years. His assist numbers are great and his turnover numbers are fair when you consider how much he scores and how often he plays off the ball.

So he doesnt touch the ball very much and he still turns it over like a ball dominant combo guard?

IDK how much a ball dominant combo guard turns it over for certain. I would guess a combo guard scoring 26 ppg typically has more than 3 topg.
