    I guess I haven't seen enough? What's his deal? To me he's a clean cut Rodman that can shoot....or Anthony Mason I suppose.

    Green was great in college. Not sure what changed, but he is a punk now. Talking shit all the time. Really annoying. Probably has become one of my top 5 least favorite players.

    I think winning enables the "douchebaggery" in some players to become exacerbated. He's a very good player obviously but you'd probably not know much about him if he played for Detroit, Denver, etc.

    The Warriors weren't the best team last year; the Cavs were. They got all cocky lucking there way to play a bunch of injured and depleted teams. Nice job Golden State!

    If the Cavs are healthy, which is a good chance, the Warriors will be swept in 4 games against the Cavs. December 25 will be a good preview of the finals.

    I don't think it's sad at all. He wants to play and get better, I commend him for asking to go to D League to do it. Other players have asked to go the D-League before, most notably Danny Green I believe.

    Green is easily in my top 5 hated Athletes. Dude acts like a complete douche all the time. Curry I like, the calls he gets are getting close to a wade level though.
  • Automatik
    I appreciate Green the player, he's solid....but as stated, he talks shit and whines constantly.

    How he acted in that interview after they won was just icing on the cake....he's a total douche.

    The interview at their parade? If so, yes that is what solidified it for me. He is a douche.

    While I love your spirit, you should quit kidding yourself. Golden State would have won last year no matter who played for the cavs. Love and overrated Kyrie can't play defense. Well, they can, just average at best. Delly is a better defender then Kyrie and Curry destroyed him in games 4,5, and 6 and Curry really just playing average. Christmas will be the test, maybe it will be a good game......but I think not. Good luck Cavs

    Yeah....not buying. Irving and Love not playing in the finals....quite the factor. Cavs at full health and GS without Thompson/Green....probably changes the outcome a bit

    Agree. Delly playing 40 minutes a night, when he was used to playing 20 was definitely a factor. And the fact that LBJ was the only scorer we had in that series was big.

    It's hard for me to take this argument seriously when a major part of it involves how a role-player plays better defense than a top-level scoring PG and still wasn't enough to stop arguably the best pure scorer in the game. Delly playing better defense than Kyrie and still getting torched by Curry is meaningless when you consider that Kyrie would have scored 15-20 a game more than Delly most nights and the Cavs won the one game in which Delly scored like a upper-tier player.

    When you consider 3/4 of the losses were between 8-13 points, it's just foolish to act like missing two guys who probably could team up for 35-40 points on any given night wouldn't have made a difference because of their defensive shortcomings.

    I can tell you didn't watch the series just based off this post.

    you're an idiot.

    Give the Cavs Kyrie and Love and take Draymond Green and Klay Thompson off the Warriors and the Cavs sweep in 4 winning by 20 a game. give both teams full health and the cavs win in 5-6.

    Anyone catch the OKC Clippers game? Was a great game and always enjoy watching the Clipps lose.

    Highlights were good. Paul thinks more than he is on offense....should've ran a quick play

    Like I said, he didn't watch the series. The Warriors were struggling and well onto their way of losing that series until they realized they could just roll out a small lineup for the rest of the series. They don't get away with that lineup for an entire game if just Love alone was out there.

    I'd go further, probably missed the earlier rounds too. Love was on fucking fire before Olynyk gooned him.

    GS changed their gameplan and Cleveland had no answer for it, simple as that. I'm not saying Cleveland wins for sure if fully healthy, but it sure as hell would have been different.

    I like to imagine what if the Refs weren't complete fucking garbage? Game 1, LBJ is intentionally fouled at the end of the game. Should have gone to the line, game over. No call, we go to OT. Calls in OT were garbage as well. Imagine Cavs then go up 3-0. Goodnight GSW.

    GSW wouldn't have made the finals if they had to play a single starting PG in the playoffs.

    Kobe with more all-star votes than LeBron and Durant combined.

    AD with 20/10/3 at half

    Have enjoyed watching Justice Winslow...seems so much older than he is.

    Surprised no Winston or Whiteside in final minutes and especially Whiteside on defense

    Overtime
