Farewell Kyle Korver

[Jscc]

Heck he shot one from Parma yesterday and buried it.

That was so deep.

I dont agree.

I once said i would trade my own mother to win a championship. I was 43 years old at the time and never had one in my entire life of rooting for 3 major Cleveland teams.

Since I didnt have to trade my Mother, i would now trade her for a repeat.

Trades for the Cavs are all about maximizing the window and winning a championship. If you are judging the trades by the end results, what do you judge them by? How many guys from GQ we get on the team?

To whom would you be trading her? For what? And what would happen to her after the trade?

The best part of the shot was Myles Turner's reaction.

He dips his shoulders and completely looks demoralized. Like how the fuck am I supposed to guard him from out there.

He is on par with Curry as a shooter and doesnt come with any of the doucheyness.

This guy was one hell of a pickup. Austin Carr was actually dead on the money about when Korver would be fully integrated. Austin said, give it 10-15 actual games, maybe 5-6 practices and he'll be comfortable.

For the casual basketball fan, yes he's a fucking absolute sniper.

For the seasoned fan, he's masterful cutting, coming off picks and also serving as one of the great diversions in the game. The threat of his shooting really adds a welcome dimension to the team.

Have not thought it that far through. I dont know, do you need a 70 year old slightly used Jewish mother?

He's giving the bench some great play-making too. There was one possession last night where TT screened for Kyle, then Kyle hit TT as the roll man to the basket for a dunk. A player with low basketball IQ can't make that pass:

Korver is a better shooter.. Curry has become somewhat streaky and his shooting splits are much worse than Korver now.
Korver is on a god tier right now but they are such different shooters. Klay and Korver are much more similar and are easier to compare imo and i'll still give the nod to Korv3r.

Depends. Can she make matzo ball soup, reubens and latke? And can she lay off the guilt trips if I don't see her for extended periods of time?

Matzo ball soup, latke and even reubens, yes,.

Lay off the guilt trips? Not a fucking chance.

I think Klay and Korver compare better because of release and size.

Klay is a better player overall because of defense and passing, but Krover isnt as far off as GS would want us to think.

Korver makes our 4th quarter lineup scary, he may be average on defense but he works so hard on offense I give him the benefit. These opposing players look defeated after they're done chasing him and he splashes a 3.

I'm sure everyone else feels this way but I cannot wait to see:

Kyrie-JR-Korver-LeBron-Love

Ultimate supreme floor spacing and LeBron being the roll man...

That lineup would be best used with a lead, I don't see how you outshoot that or outscore them. Even TT inserted for Love gives Cavs a roll man plus defense.

I think the reason Korver is so good in the 4th quarter is because his defender is just tired as fuck in the 4th and can't chase him around and through screens as good so he gets much better looks. He usually starts off slow and then heats up as the game wears on.

Well, just think how demoralized opposing SGs will be when they have to chase Korver after JR drops 5 contested bombs on then.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

What is that stupid ass set play can someone explain the idea behind double faking a screen in that situation? lol

[ACisKING]

Korver should play with Thompson as much as possible. Thompson's borderline illegal screens knock out Korver's man every time, forcing the defense to either give up an open Korver three or overreact to Korver thereby freeing up Thompson on the roll. Thompson is miles better than either Love or Frye as a screen setter.
