not sure if the Cavs would want to play that run and gun. They came
back in the finals because they dictated the pace and played great Defense
(it also didn't hurt the warriors couldn't hit any shots lol)

excited for the season to start!
thats the right assessment mate cavs did not run and make sure that they have the tempo of the game even the warriors have that run and gun attack cavs still hold the ball and make a clear offense and find the right person aside from lebron who really carrying the team the whole season i know irving gave so much drama on that last game but respect to lebron who really fight for the win.
The confidence is overflowing for the entire team of cavaliers now, they had their first championship and I think it will be hard for them to beat already, though the warriors have upgraded but the cavaliers is still the stronger team.
I think they will make a repeat but it is not gonna be easy for them, warriors are much improve team now and durant can defend lebron james due to his height, so it is going to be another best finals ever if they happen to face each other.

Well it would be odd if they would face again for the 3rd straight time. But i think warriors would likely dominate the west. and may create another history. as cleveland, i think they would be 1st or 2nd in the east because i think the hawks has howard assuming he is still in his prime.
oh well forgetting about the san anotonio mate i think they are still competitive in the west gsw wont make it easy now even durant has been added to their line up but we cant never say until we seen them play. good luck.

Iman Shumpert gets a Dui and I was reading and they may trade him. He
is pretty solid on defense and would be a big loss.

I'm not sure if the Cavs would trade Iman. JR is in talks with some teams so losing both could be huge hit since there are not easy to replace (Andersen and Dunleavy won't cut it I'm afraid haha).

On the other hand, Shumpert was atrocious in the finals, even on defense...so maybe there's a chance they will trade him after all...


I dont think these rumors are meant to be believed. I've many ridiculous rumors like cousins going to cavs or even igoudala trading to shumpert. It is true that delly and mozgov moved but i think cavs has some backup players in them. whats waiting is that there deals to be signed.
The management of cleveland cavaliers surely know what they are doing, they have new players that are coming in that would fit more on the system, the two who were release are not performing well last season so they they need to let go of them.
that's right they need some new players that can compete with curry and thompson as kd added to the line up lebron needs someone who can help him to make some good defense against the three.

Kudos to lebron but i think the one they is those guy who is fast upon moving in the floor and defend those fast players like curry and thompson, but i think cavaliers for now is full pack of power rooster and the only thing to do is sustain the championship spirit and allow those new comers to adopt their system and compete those fast opponent and play a run and gun game.

Dunleavy could be a great fit of the cavaliers to improve their offense, a great shooter who can also do the rebounding. Cavaliers will be a hard team to beat this season as the have improve their defense and offense more, and what makes a team champion is when they have a good defense.

If theres is anything that has improved during durant trade, it would be there defense. durant is a shooter but he is good enough as a pf and he is tall enough to defend big men as kerr has stated to start green as center and durant is even taller than green.

Durant really has a good height but he is not designed to take the Power Forward position based on his actual playing style.

Kerr will likely not to put this guy on that position if they are on defense since it's not Durant's specialty.

Yeah if you ask me they are to strong they of their starters are stars if not super stars I even believe that they can go out with out losing more then 5 games.
That is how good I think this team is.

Well we all have different analyzation but Durant is the only additional player in the roster of GSW. Those players who have been traded in exchange of Durant are part of the reasons why GSW has a good standing last season.

Also season record is nothing as when you entered playoffs all teams are 0-0.
I know but Golden state only had trouble with OKC and Cleveland in the play offs now they have Durant who is from OKC.
You cannot tell me that with Durant added to their roster that they are a worse team. Their 3 point shooting is now even better, or Durand or Curry or Thomson is going to go off. Chance would be slim for all three of them to play bad in the same game.
Golden State Warriors are a team designed around soft shooters like Durant/Curry and Klay. Although they are some of the greatest shooters this league has ever seen, they are also quite fragile with history of injuries such as Durant's foot and Curry's ankles. In the NBA teams smell blood and attack your weakest point over and over again and if this means going at Curry offensively for the entire season than so be it.
If it was as simple as that for other teams, Golden State would not have won over 130 games in the last two regular seasons. Heck, sometimes their games are won after just three quarters and they have the luxury to bench their best players in the whole fourth quarter. They will mature even more as a team this year and the arrival of Durant would just take this team to new heights and in turn put more pressure on them to win each game they play.

How time flies in the basketball world. Now we are seeing high school sons of Shaquille O'neal and Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) play against each other. These were the players I grew up watching. Now, there's the second generation of them, just a few years away from playing in the same league as their fathers did.

I have never said that the addition of Kevin Durant will make GSW a worst team. Shocked

Look at the post I quoted, "they can go out without losing more than 5 games", Im talking about those release players are also a big help why GSW has a good standing last season and also on the other side of the note, season record is nothing when a team entered the playoffs since they will all start at 0-0 record.

Golden State glaring Defensive Weakness. So..They still haven't addressed Stephen Curry issue on defense. Teams are going to go at him all day, every day for the entire season and playoffs. Man i hate to be Stephen Curry right now.
