    I think we were second behind Chicago. But staying in the top 3 is fine by me.

    As long as our team is top 10 in every defensive category, I will be a very happy fan!

    Watched the replay of Chicago vs LA Clippers and this Bulter guy is a man! He looks built too! I would hate to be in a dark alley with him coming at me!

    Oh btw, he knows how to play B-Ball too

    He's always been a defensive stud, but has now developed an offensive game, too.

    Lebron is such a tool...

    Really, Lebron? The Cavs are the 11th oldest team in the NBA... Succeeding with a team composed of guys like Kyrie and Kevin Love is the biggest challenge you've faced in your career? Really?

    Perhaps it is slightly harder than when you and two other super-stars colluded to join the Heat because you couldn't cut it on your own, but it sounds like he thinks he's Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks, teaching a rag-tag group of misfit kids how to win against all odds.

    That's why I love bringing defensive players in. They can improve shooting, but you either have it or not.

    What an immense burden playing with two other all stars. I pity the fool.

    No doubt.

    Lebron has a point, Love and Kyrie have no idea how to win in the NBA. Love is a stat whore but he didn't make the players around him better or lead his team to victories. This current group of the Blazers had to learn how to win. We watched it happen last season. Now look it this season, the Blazers are 3-0 when trailing at the start of the 4th qrt. That's impressive. That's learning what it takes to win. Love and Kyrie have no fucking clue. Lebron knows.

    Lesson: He should have taken his talents to Cannon Beach. He'd be great off the bench with Kaman, and now that Batum is out, could get some starter minutes!

    Lebron would have more fun coming off the bench here then he does playing with a stat whore like Love.

    Unfortunately, LeBron knows the best way to win is to join up with two other established superstars, one who has already won a ring. But, this was his choice. He was the one that decided to go back to Cleveland and he was the one that forced the Love trade. He got EXACTLY what he wanted. So, it's disingenuous and self-serving to complain about how hard it is to win when he got EXACTLY what HE wanted.

    And he could win the one award he's never won: 6th Man of the Year! Come on LeBron, come to Portland and complete your Hall of Fame resume!

    Not disagreeing with you, just saying I agree with him, Irving and Love have no clue. Irving is not even looking to pass the ball to one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Sure Lebron wanted to play with Irving but I'm guessing he thought he would get the Irving playing with Team USA.

    I'd take Lebron.

    So long as he understands it is Alpha Lillard, Beta Aldridge and Gamma James.

    Come ride our coattails Gamma!

    How the hell can anyone be surprised by this? Love and Irving were a terrible pairing for LeBron on paper where it's all about the stats. Why would it be any better in reality?
