Farewell Kyle Korver

[Bob_The_Cat]

Miller nailed it on the air. When Korver screens for LeBron, guys don't know what to do because they can't effectively guard both. Can't stay close enough to Korver most of times because of LBJ drive threat. When they add a PG (D. Williams?) who can be screened by LeBron and run that set they did with Delly, that second team offense is going to be as devastating as Warriors death lineup. Those two things are deadly, then add LBJ in the post and shooters like Channing and cutters like RJ and (formerly) Dreck Williams? That's a #8 seed on its own.

We can't forget about Shump either. The bench could potentially be Deron, Shump, Korver, Williams, Frye, Jefferson and maybe Bogut or Sanders. That backcourt rotation would be crazy. Cavs might mess around and win a game without LeBron.

I think the best thing about Korver is that the movement off the ball when LeBron or Kyrie is isolating.

So much attention on both the strong and weak side of the ball, really hard to guard. Has real potential to put games out of reach.

Korver just keeps casually dropping 15, 18, 20, etc.

He's murdering teams. He's extending the hell out of leads for us. His shot is so pure.

Korver was the best single addition via trade to any team in the East this year.

I'd say single best addition by any of the top 7 seeds in either conference.

Regardless of the end result, if we finish things off by adding Deron and a playable big, Griffin played this years acquisition cycle little a god damn fiddle.

Remember when bench scoring was one of our biggest weaknesses?

Kyke Korver is honestly like a human cheat code. You couldn’t dream up a better role player if you tried...he does everything right.

 

[priceFTW]

In his last 10 games:

37/59 from three, 62.7%. Just lol.

75% when wide open
60% when open
50% when tightly defended
67% when very tightly defended

 

[Walter White]

Imagine if Korver played with LeBron in his prime like 28-30 years old. Korver would be a Goat Hall of Famer status. This almost feels like his prime at 35 playing with LBJ. Maybe he still has a good few years left.

.

75% when wide open

"Damn we gotta guard him better"

60% when open

"Ok there's hope just need to play him tighter"

50% when tightly defended

"Holy fuck we're doin it guys just hang in there he's almost a normal shooter"

67% when very tightly defended

"WTF"

I sorta enjoyed the 3 missed threes in a row.

Showed us that he is indeed human.

 

[BimboColesHair]

I sorta enjoyed the 3 missed threes in a row.

I liked that he just kept jacking them up without hesitation. What good shooters do.

I don't think he would have missed them if he didn't play 12 minutes straight lol

 

[Cavatt]

I don't think he would have missed them if he didn't play 12 minutes straight lol

I swear he just got too psyched up. I could hear a wicked guitar solo and a lion roaring coming from his brain seeing these wide open shots
