If the report that the Clippers are willing to do PatBev + DJ is true, I really can't see anyone else beating that. That's a really good deal for both teams.
Julian Russell
I think this man joined the Cavs assuming he would be the starting PG. He is gonna be salty when he realizes he is coming off the bench for Bledsoe
Hudson Murphy
that's not true at all
some of them are 3s, some of them are jumbo 2s, some of them are smallball 4s
Remember when Brad Stevens unironically beat the Wizards in the playoffs while running a lineup consisting of 4 guards and a small forward?
Kevin Garcia
oo-ok and which one of those are gonna rebound for you lmao? and who's gonna defend LeBron?
Anthony Perez
Lebron is better passer, rebounder and shot blocker than Jordan. He's bigger, stronger and faster than Jordan. He has a higher BBIQ than Jordan. He has more playoff points in less shots than Jordan making him a more efficient scorer than Jordan.
Lincoln Jones
3-5
Adam Adams
Jordan was too good of a defender, LeBron would never get pass him unless it was on a fast break or something

rebounds are overrated
Jordan is better than anybody else in the history of the game at scoring consistently at high usage. He's substantially better at it than any of the next best guys. No one was ever able to get their shot as well as Jordan did. His ability to do that as well as he did is essentially a completely unique skill that it's really hard to evaluate, but I think it's very valuable especially in the playoffs.
Plus, Jordan was also a really good defender! I agree that Bron is a slightly better defender overall because he's bigger, but Jordan was a really good defender. I mean, he won DPOY.
I think MJ is a little better, obviously they're both insane though, 2 best ever.

Reminder that the top 5 teams in rebound differential didn't make the playoffs or lost in the first round

LeBron can get his shot pretty much at will, but unlike Jordan he's asked to do everything else as well and he gets tired too easily in the playoffs.

Reminder the Warriors out rebounding the Cavs was integral to their victory, especially shutting down TT, so much so even Steph Curry was out rebounding him by waiting under the free throw line to have at least 2-3 bodies around TT at all times.
Lucas Collins
That's the stat that shows how efficiently a team rebounds. I thought y'all said rebounds were important.
Kevin Foster
>He literally hasn't done anything.
Caleb Diaz
Warriors won because they made shots, the Cavs missed shots, and they caused turnovers. Don't act like rebounding won them the finals lmfao.
Kayden Watson

Alexander Gutierrez
Big men getting the rebounds is a meme now
It's all about boxing out and letting the guards get the rebound for a fast break

Luke Anderson
Who's on the other line?
Andrew Jackson
Don't act like it didn't help them win you retarded Celtshit.
If not for boxing out TT and stopping him from getting his OffRebs the Cavs would've had at least an added 2.5 PPG to their offense and would've won the close games they were in and the series would've at least gone to 6 games.
It's a lot more complicated than rebound differential.

I saw Lavar at a grocery store in Los Angelas yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

don't be ridiculous
Christopher Mitchell
You think it had nothing to do with it? All those missed shots by the Cavs and the average second chance opportunities they had in the regular season and last year's finals had nothing to do with adding points to their offense? You think TT being one of the best OffReb players in the game had no impact on their team strategy and the Warriors actively trying to sabotage that strategically had no impact on the Finals at all?
Liam Ortiz
Warriors won because they have better scorers. More rebounds for the Cavs would just lead to more wasted possessions. I'm just going to ignore your strawmanning
William Cooper
The Warriors had 11 more rebounds than the Cavs did the entire series you bum, stop acting like they had 50 more a game than them you lil bum
Oliver Morgan
Goddamn he looks more like a bug every year When he was at Georgetown he looked like a normal kid and now, Jesus

Wyatt Price
Kyrie for CP3 straight-up. Who says no? Kyrie has a far better contract than CP3 for the Rockets - he's younger and has a lower salary.
Robert Harris
Can we all please just stop arguing, we can all be friends here and be beacons of positivity for each other.
Adrian Brooks
Check last year's Finals.
Cavs murdered the Warriors with OffRebs and it's one of the biggest reasons they or any team can hang with the Warriors offensively by getting second chance points because they're not as efficient scoring as the Warriors on a talent level. Most offensive rebounds are near the rim and guarantee at least getting fouled going to score at the rim, getting an easier put back, or resetting the offense, with LeBron being as good as he is he'll regularly make corrections to their plays and execute it properly the second time, especially taking the ball out of Kyrie's hands.
Robert Smith
>He thinks having more chances to score from rebounding means a less chance of winning
Josiah Lee
CP3 is much better than Kyrie
Joshua Smith
>the Cavs won in 2016 because they got more offensive rebounds, not because Curry couldn't shoot for shit
this nigga really trying to argue that offensive rebounds were more important to the Cavs/Warriors finals than scoring was
Juan Adams
By your logic that means Oklahoma City should win the finals because they were the best offensive rebounding team in the league amirite
David James
Maybe 6 years ago
Dominic Flores
The Warriors literally had 3 more offensive rebounds than the Cavs did this finals series
>you will never be this ass blasted about rebounds
Celtshits are the most pathetic posters I've ever seen.

LaVar Ball's team and his shitty son Meme Melo was getting so BTFO by Zion's team he literally went mental on a female ref, received a tech, and threatened to pull his team out of the game on the spot if the tech wasn't rescinded and the ref wasn't ejected, and Adidas actually fucking did it.
>They get two first round picks and they're not going to be good anytime soon? They're not taking on bad players, just bad contracts
Those are going to be really shitty picks, though, especially since at least Cleveland if not both would demand protection
>That would depend CP3 would mind playing next to Bronny instead should the opportunity arise. Agents talk.
CP3 would love to play with Bron and vice versa. But they can just do that in Houston next year (or anywhere else that can fit 2 max contracts since they're both FAs) instead of forcing LeBron to stay in Cleveland and continue playing for Dan Gilbert which he CLEARLY does not want to. And it would piss off Harden for no reason.
