I've tried to educate you on this in the past but it doesn't hold. GS plays a defensive system that relies on defensive switching more than any team in the league. This is effective and makes them consistently one of the best defensive teams in the league every season. They do this because virtually everyone on the team is a versatile defender who can disrupt passing lanes, including Steph Curry. With Klay Thompson being one of the best defenders in the league, it would make sense for him to start out on Kyrie, but Steph switched on to him plenty of times and ended up guarding him on roughly 30% of Cleveland's plays in that series.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I imagine JLN and LTG are guys that bring up arguments from the 5th grade because they just can't let shit go. This is one of the most unnecessary debates in the history of debates.

Farve is the one constantly on the Irving Curry stuff if you haven't noticed. As well as dude is playing I should be thumping my chest all over the city.

glad everyone agrees that kyrie is a bitch

Kyrie is playing great this year. Steph is still playing better.

Don't go thumping too much.

You mean Rookie of the Year MCW, same as Wiggins was?

Goes to show that a high draft pick, 'talent' and a quick start can only get you so far! Guess I'd rather take the player that, I don't know, actually gets better at basketball?

LeBron the man's man will go title chasing again this year and you will no doubt applaud the move.

LBJ eats a Ben Simmons for breakfast.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Ben Simmons has already drawn comparisons to Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James, and it turns out The King believes Simmons could one day surpass him.

Per Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated, Simmons revealed that James told him the following at the LeBron James Skills Academy four years ago: "You have an opportunity to be better than me. But you can't skip steps. You have to do the work."

Simmons' production this season has been reminiscent of what LeBron did early in his NBA career, as he is averaging 18.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

Simmons is a mature rookie at 21 after missing all of last season due to injury, and his numbers are arguably more impressive than what LeBron put up in 2003-04.

As a 19-year-old, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals per contest straight out of high school.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

I'd guess that Simmons won't end up as good as or surpassing LeBron, but he should still be a Top 10 player pretty much his entire career. Maybe the single best player in the league during at least a couple of his seasons.

But LeBron is a generational talent.

I think they've determined that it's Butler's team because the other guys aren't ready. He's taken another step as a leader too. Reality is they need Towns and Wiggins to grow for their future to be bright.

Towns really hasn't played bad. He is a bad defender and that may plague him his entire career. Butler is doing "The Butler". Bumslaying weak teams is an essential part of the Butler motif.

Thibs is doing the "The Thibs". He is Running his starters into the ground for the purpose of ekeing out regular season wins.

The world will have a better grasp on the Wolves at the end of January. I expect them to get bounced on a regular as they will have played against better teams.

Big Xmas game I can't wait

Easy win.

You would think..it'll go to the last few possessions

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

My gosh the TWolves uniforms are ugly.
