    This is word for word something Rob would have said.

    Rob says this about everything. This is maybe the first time I've ever spoken those words lol my only point is it's my opinion that Wiggins defensive numbers are the way they are because of the team he plays on. And that if he played on the cavs from day one, his defense would not be an issue.

    Haven't been on here and this has probably been posted but there was a rumor flying around over the weekend of Love & Mozgov for Demarcus Cousins.

    PS....wouldn't want Wiggins if they gave him back.

    And Blatt should've had his offer rescinded once Lebron decided he was coming back. He was in way over his head trying to coach a bunch of superstars. Blatt is ideal getting the best out of young/moldable guys. Have no idea whether Lue will be the answer as I think "Lebron's gonna Lebron", i.e. "do what Lebron wants" so I don't know how coachable he is.

    I've seen the cousins rumor too. Have also heard Monroe.

    I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to the rumors but it's interesting to hear.

    I think Cousins would fit in nicely but, like you said, probably nothing to it. I thought it was interesting that one of the NBA writers said that a week prior to Blatt's firing, he (Blatt) said "it's either me or Kevin Love" (something to that effect).

    I just don't see what on earth the Cavs could offer for Cousins. It's not like the Kings are falling apart and they want to deal him. And he's more valuable and has higher potential than Kevin Love, and they gave up two #1 overall picks for Love. Just can't see what the Cavs could offer?

    Sure was. They were never going to win a ring with him coaching and Griffin knew it. They paid $2 million/yr to an assistant (Lue) as a "fall back" plan. He is a great coach teaching younger guys but not the guy to deal with the hand he was dealt (superstar ego's). You could tell Lebron had absolutely no respect for him. A blind monkey should've been able to coach that roster to the Finals once those trades were made.

    This is just dumb.
  • Azubuike24
    On one hand, Blatt never played in the NBA or at a very high level, so you wonder if players gave him a chance for respect as a coach.

    On the other hand, Erik Spoelstra had a similar background and he seemed to do okay with LeBron, Wade and Bosh in Miami.

    This is one of the more idiotic posts I've read in a while.

    It's going to be tough to find any team that would take Love especially since he has underproduced with his massive contract. We are stuck with him unless a miracle happens.

    Also, not a fan of Lue as a coach. Blatt may have not been the answer but I have no faith in Lue as of yet. He's an unproven liability at this point.

    Beyond idiotic, just fucking stupid. Might be BR's dumbest post of all time. Wonder if BR wrote this while riding on the short bus.

    Spoelstra had Riley. The Cavs organization doesn't have anyone like that.

    To add fuel to our fiery debate over Wiggins/ Love, Minnesota is in town tonight [emoji23][emoji23]

    Go cavs
  • Lovejoy1984
    Funny how that works out isn't it lol.
  • Midstate01
    Love playing well. Kyrie playing awful.
  • Midstate01
    Ball is moving well tonight tho. Defense is junk tho
  • Lovejoy1984
    Kyrie looked awful on that last series. LBJ, and Love flanking you on the wings and you decide to just dribble a shit ton, and then throw up a contested lay up. Pass the ball.
  • SportsAndLady
    Loving the passing tonight.
  • Automatik
    I can't believe Mosgov put that down.
  • SportsAndLady
    Delly has been awesome tonight
  • sleeper
    No matter what happens, the decision to trade Wiggins was Lebron's choice. I would have preferred Wiggins over Love any day of the week.
  • Ironman92
    Quicker ball movement could make Delly shine a bit if he can hit the shots because he's going to get them.
  • Midstate01
    I still say we gotta give it a couple weeks but I've seen nothing yet that makes me get excited about what might be to come. They don't play any style for consistent minutes. Just frustrating to watch.
