the warriors bench is weaker. until about a week from now
Hard to tell how their defense will look. They lose interior rim protection but dont you think their small ball lineups are now better on defense with Kevin Durant who is lengthier than Barnes and also an underrated defender. Also Kevin Love isn't seeing the floor much against these guys so we need an insurance wing defender who can effectively guard small ball fours and fives like Durant and Green since they now play on the same team. Could end up being RJ but let's be safe and find another.I was trying to make this point in another thread. This means Green is likely guarding Love, LBJ, or TT at all times. Love takes him out of the paint, LeBron gets him in the P&R, and TT fights him on the boards.
If Green is their only "Rim Protection" then anytime he's on Love or Lebron the lane will be wide open.
June 16th 2016-July 3rd 2016
The short time period a portion of Cavs fans allowed themselves to truly enjoy the season, the games, the EC playoffs, the title, and the efforts made by the Cavs players, coaches, FO, and coaches.
July of 2015-June 15 2016 and July 4th 2016 all spent obsessing over another teams roster, anther teams style of play, another teams record, whether our wins would really mean anything against that other team, why our coaches weren't coaching good enough to beat that other team, why our players just weren't going to be able to get it done against that other team, why this player should be traded because we have to react immediate to that other teams moves.
I feel sorry for the people who really only allowed thenselves and the people around them that 3 week window between game 6 and today.
And if this doesn't apply to you, don't get defensive. But there ate absolutely people on this board that this applies to and fits to a T
Thanks LeBron, Kyrie, Kevin, JR, Tristan, Iman, RJ, Channinhg, Delly, Mo, Timo, Champ, Dahntay, Jordan, Sasha for winning this title for us.
Thanks to Coach Lue and the staff
Thanks to Dan, Griff, FO and rest of the ownership.
I hope you guys are hard at work, but I also hope you guys are enjoying and savoring this deeper and longer than a lot of the fans.
Thanks for posting this. This is my first thought as well.June 16th 2016-July 3rd 2016

Fuck the Warriors, and fuck Kevin Durant. Fuck the knee jerk talk about trading Kevin Love.
We are the champions. I seriously doubt our players are shaking in their boots over this the way so many fans are. Kevin Love gets a few weeks of credit for his contribution to winning game 7 before fans throw him right back under that bus again. Love didn't just play defense and rebound for a few minutes, he did it for the entire duration of game 7. But people go right back to under rating what he can do defensively and who he can guard. This is knee jerk, loser analysis.
Welcome to sports. The rest of the NBA world has already moved on. If people want to talk next season more power to them.
Talking about next year doesn't take anything away from this year. Myself, and many others, are capable of continuing to enjoy this year, and still thinking about the best moves for next year.
Personally, I think it could be a mistake to trade Kevin Love for medium-range talent at the wing. But, if Jimmy Butler became available for Love, I'd drive to Love's fucking house and pack his bags for him.
Again, I'm not talking about normal conversation and analysis of potential match ups.
I'm talking about a very specific phenomena that's happened on this board as the Warriors kept winning were you had a segment of Cavs fan who obsessed about every single Warriors and viewed not only every loss we had in the season but every victory through a lense of "yeah, but they wouldn't have done that against the Warriors."
Absolutely, we move on. The season resets in November with no champ. No argument there.
And I'm on your side about that. I just want people to enjoy the regular season and the continued growth and development of our championship team. As fas as GS, it will be fascinating to watch but we literally can only defeat or be defeated by them in June 2017 and as we've seen so many times before, what happens in the regular season is not necessarily indicative of the environment and dynamic of a 7 game playoff seriesWarriors Paranoia is a real thing. And I'll be honest I thought we were done with that after this year's finals and I thought that the monster had been vanquished. Looks like I was wrong though. Theyre just getting warmed up.
Just get the PIPE back. Maybe another wing or big. But mostly JR.
The Worriers are going to fail, because LeBron and Kyrie arent on that team.
