    Some contend that Magic was a better player overall than Jordan, and he lost in the finals four times ('83, '84, '89, '91). Of course, he also won 5, and that was all over a 12- year span.

    Yea. In the case of the Boston Big 3 and the Miami Big 3 is that those players had already proven themselves so they were fine with playing team ball. Irving and Waiters haven't.

    Well I guess this ends the Irving vs. Lillard dispute.

    When remembering past champions I never hear about how many times they lost but how many times they won. I dont think its something anyone will harp on except when comparing him to Jordan.

    Cavs lost to Utah today. The interesting stat is Irving had 0 Assts and 34 points.

    The NBA will say it was more of a non-win.

    This only proves that our starters threw both the Kings and GS games so the bench would contribute if that's the logic that bails you out of poor performances

    I don't know why people so regularly disparage that Cleveland Finals roster. It was well-balanced and featured three all-stars that all complimented each other pretty well. They even played defense. This current Cleveland squad is a mess. People disagreed with me this summer when I said LeBron would be frustrated with his two co-stars being among the worst defenders in the league, and that the Love-Irving pairing isn't necessarily any better in the short-term than Wade-Bosh as their careers wind down.

    LeBron's less than stellar defense:

    My biggest problem with the Cav's big 3 is Kevin Love.
    The guy just doesn't play defense.
    He was matched up vs Lopez all night and not once did he put his hands up to contest the shot.
    When he was matched up vs Aldridge.. Aldridge had flashbacks of Terrance Jones trying to guard him.
    Won't even mention what happened when the other hustle guy was vs Aldridge..

    Kevin Love puts up numbers.. He can shoot the 3 at a high clip.. Has a decent jump hook as his go-to-move. But his defense is....

    I mean I hate Chris Bosh. Never will like him... However I will give the guy credit.
    He sacrificed a lot for the heat on the offensive end and took the challenge defensively to guard the post.
    Cavs have Andy V-(not going to attempt his last name).. But he's no post defender... Honestly his best post defense is his hair.. Maybe it'll distract someone...
    The Cavs need a post defender. Play slows down in the playoffs... Even if they turn up the defensive pressure... The Spurs will throw it to Duncan and everyone knows how that turns out...

    They have Brenden Haywood. But is he the answer there? Will he get playing time?
