Farewell Kyle Korver

[The Red Viper]

We used to operate under the assumption they did because before Twitter, we had overwhelming proof that A LOT of the NBA world read RCF. Now I truly feel like Twitter changed how sports is discussed online. That said, when I personally post I carry that frame of reference. It's a shame so many people in our society generally lack that awareness when they write any thought online.

Twitter is good for news, banter and reactions.

But its the worst place to have any sort of proper discussion.

Some idiot would just reply "lolz, u suck" or abuse you or your family.

Can't have any level headed discussion on Twitter. Thats why forums are the best because you can actually discuss properly without resorting to calling each other a noob or something.

Whether we rebuild or reload, his performance needs re-evaluated. Picked on defensively and the playoff no-showing is getting pretty upsetting.

He's had an awful year, personally. Please cut him some slack. (much like when JR was dealing with a son who might not make his one month birthday)

Korver wanted redemption for last year. Guess what, here it is.

Come through Ashton Kutcher

Korver was great for us in the playoffs shooting a team high 46% from 3, he’s been one of our most consistent players next to LeBron, way more consistent than Love who’s suppose to be our multiple time allstar second option

 

[Return of the King]

Korver has been UNDERRATED defensively. Last person to blame for any of our defensive woes. Sorry.

Ehh....He was pretty damn good basically most of the entire series. He didn't have a great game tonight, but it was also a defensive minded physical game not meant for gunners. He still hit a big 3 for us in the 4th quarter. I actuallty didn't feel like he ever was too big of an issue defensively. A couple times he got killed on mismatches like when Morris had deep post position but he mostly held his own and had multiple good games defending Jaylen Brown most of the time. He never got a chance to get a lot of shots tonight and never got in a full rhythm.

Unfortunately GS does a good job shutting him down. Really want to see what he can do vs Houston though esp. with no CP3... feel like he;s where they'd tride to hide Harden at times and we could really exploit that.

I think Korver has proven himself just fine this playoff run and that's despite what happens in the finals. As long as he wants to play I think he's gotta have a spot on a LBJ team. I thought he may be a cap casualty this summer but I think we find a way to keep him because he's still sooo valuable for 18-20 minutes a night and still such a great shooter. as long as LBJ stays I really hope Korver at least plays out this contract meaning he would play 2 more seasons after this year.

Why isn't he getting any minutes? Because Semi Ojeleye isn't in?

 

[inliner311]

Kyle Korver is becoming another guy that just can't play against the warriors. They take away his 3 point shot and he doesn't have much else to give.

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

He’s no ray Allen

No team can just take you away from a series IDC who you are

 

[Return of the King]

Need him to start getting going at home.

 

[Bballguy4]

He can't get wide open vs the warriors lol. I hope get's it going back home

 

[fan0283]

Not surprising. In the playoffs everyone scrambles out to shooters like their lives depend on it and shirt holding is allowed so running him through multiple screens doesn't open up the same space. Without the ability to put the ball on the floor or improvise he's going to feed on scraps against this team

 

[gaitano]

He seems to hit more running to his right then straight-up catch and shoot, anyone have the actual stats? Cavs don 't use him enough in his natural role.
