I railed against that at the time. Wiggins seemed like a WAY better fit than Love alongside LeBron but LeGM got in his own way again. And frankly it seemed like he wanted to find an easy button for a quick title.

And to his credit, it kinda worked. But I think he left some meat on those bones. James/Kyrie/Wiggins could've been a damn difficult trio had Wiggins been allowed to develop into a 3 and D wing that his talent said he should've been rather than the volume player he became in Minnesota.

And he'd have been in a perfect spot for that to happen alongside those 2. If his last 4 years in GS are the first 4 years of his career, that's a championship team. And GS is using him how Cleveland easily could've. In so doing, his development arc would've been completely different as well. Wiggins effectively wasted the first 5 years of his career being asked to be a lead dog in Minnesota when what he should've been was a premier 2nd/3rd option.

He had a buddy bet $80K to win 1.1M on the under on him on a game he pulled himself with an "illness" and they didn't think that would be looked into. :-)

What an absolute idiot.

You mean the same Curry that won two Championships without KD?

What has KD done since?

James is great but so is Steph. Lets not act like James won all his championships alone.

That conversation sure got ended quickly once the tabled got turned :-)

Yep. Looks like Zion tore his hammy. Shaq and Barkley were saying rub some icy hot on it and get back out there lol

People will rag on Klay for that loss to the Kings, however Chris Paul was ABYSMAL the entire season and was nothing against the Kings.
[Reply]

Chris Paul is like 40 years old. Calling on him to contribute in a meaningful way at thus point is the mistake. Not everyone can be LeBron at age 40

Philly will be favored against the Knicks.

Sure Herro....take your time! A few tenths of a second quicker on that three and they might have had a shot there if Philly still turned it over like they did.

He was pretty obviously washed last season, IMO.

Kind of an interesting contrast. The east seems very bottom heavy in the playoffs where the west seems top heavy. Many of the play in teams seem more formidable than any eastern conference team not named Boston. And even Boston just seems like they’re a choke waiting to happen.
[Reply]

The East is just buns. Full stop.

The bottom of the East is worse than the bottom of the West. The top is worse than the top of the West. It's just a worse conference. By quite a bit, IMO.

And it's been that way for over a decade.
