    Didn't someone show that Damian actually hits those shots at a higher clip than he does other shots or something?

    btw, all he meant was that Kyrie would be like Damian in that he hasn't lead his team anywhere.

    I wasnt agreeing with him, I meant that was what he meant. Not that Damian is a bum.

    Not sure why we care what he says to be honest, he was a football star.

    In other breaking news, without LeBron, CLE has zero titles.

    WTF Captain Obvious? How many titles does Chris Paul have? How many times has he led his team past the 2nd round? How many titles has Russell Westbrook won? And he had Durant (and at one time Harden and Ibaka) as a teammate.

    Why you gotta single out Dame??? He's done more with less than several other big name "stars".

    Dame is better player, much better leader. I know anyone else besides our fanbase don't think like that, but fuck it.

    We saw Irving without LeBron, we saw him when LeBron rest games, CLE was awful. Now, he's on the team with arguably best coach in the NBA and great system, so he produces, but still, Al fucking Horford averages more assists than him.

    I could make an argument Dame would average 8-10 assists per game, if Nurk can finish at the rim. Or if he had just better ofensive system.

    Not in the sports media’s mind. Somewhere has “finals” at the end

    And, in the sports media's minds, it was Kyrie that lead the Cavs to the finals?

    Apparently, the sports media are stupid.

    Yeah they are, but they also give the lions share of the credit to Lebron as they rightfully should. Just sayin nobody’s hanging banners for making it outta the first round of the playoffs and that’s the furthest we’ve been in 20+ years. I’m loyal to dame I would rather have him as the franchise player and leader every single time over him but expecting respect from National talking heads for that small amount of success is a fools errand. Just look how they (at least they used to) roast cp3 for his lack of postseason success. It’s finals or nothing every damn year and it’s time we got used to it.

    Have to agree here. Dame doesn't get the credit he deserves for his leadership, maturity, character. Let alone his accomplishments in this small market with less talent around him than those he's compared against.

    That's kind of the point, though, right?
    A) Kyrie's done jack and shit without riding LeBron's coattails. He's this generation's James Worthy, without the class and all-around game.
    B) CP3 has not been getting roasted recently, despite the fact that (as you point out) he's had less success with more talent (except the year Dame beat him, when their "more talent" got injured in G5 and G6)
    C) I'm reminded that they think Paul George is a pretty good player. As is Biggie Cousins. As is Anthony Davis. As is/was Carmelo Anthony.
    D) Russell Westbrook, BTW, even with his 51pt triple-double (on 43 shots, if memory serves) seems not to have done much without KD around. I guess he'll get his chance this year.

    I guess what I'm asking is: would any one of Harden/RW/(Curry or Durant)/LMA/Butler trade their roster for ours, if their life depended on winning a playoff series?
