yeah that's the word i was looking for. Mo's the catalyst.

the cavs offense has sucked year after year despite lebron. now it's good. it's Mo. he's what the cavs needed. super quick, high scoring point guard that can take pressure off lebron.

I didn't delete anything! I did undelete the same post a few times though but eventually gave up because Caldarooni has a Kobe-like focus when it comes to deleting his posts.

So why exactly do you think they score the same if the Cavs aren't as good? Are the Lakers not trying or something??

Wouldnt this be a good argument for saying the cavs offense is better?

Are you planning on collapsing on him with Mo,Delonte,Boobie,Z all being good shooters that will be on the floor?

I'm just wondering exactly how a less-than-stellar defensive Lakers team will be taking away strengths more effectively in a 7-game series than the Cavs will, when I think we both know Kobe will likely be extremely uneffective in the 4th quarters when LBJ is guarding him 1v1. The Cavs now have the trump card with one of the scariest 1v1 defenders in the league that is able to shut down superstars, which is a strength that the Lakeshow isn't able to take away from the Cavs.

For all the hate that the Lakers' D gets, they're still #4 in the league in defense I believe. They're far behind Cleveland on D, but still...#4 in the league isn't all that bad.

Didn't the Brandi thread get something like 50K posts within a week or something absolutely ridiculous like that?

Yeah, thats what I'm arguing for(or at least I'm saying that they're close and LA isn't definitely better like some say).

Although the mighty lion (me) never fears the lowly jackal (kidcolin), I could never imagine myself beating anyone with over 10k+ posts in this forum. I'm assuming people will take first impressions into account so (false) titles come into play. I post mainly in this thread where as kidcolin might have Celtic fans pooping up all over the place like the Irish.

And in two years time I expect my haters to grow steadily. I'll get my Survivor, and then I'll become something else. People fear the truth they're not willing to accept. I often insult teams with vicious accuracy. Naturally this leads to people disliking me which is fine because they fail to comprehend simple truths. I frequently point out to Celtic fans (probably the majority), that Kevin Garnett is a huge bitch and the general homosexual tendencies of Boston fans. I've been all over Cleveland's ridiculously pathetic schedule. Houston fans would have something against me but they all know the Rockets will fail to make it out of the 1st round again anyway. I'm a Toronto fan but I make fun of them too. The rest of the teams suck and probably aren't worth talking about (cept Phoenix...cuz Shaq and Nash are awesome). The only fans I have any light with are probably the Lakers. But smart people instinctively recognize other smart people so no surprise there.

And I don't really have a problem with KC or anyone in this thread minus that Kool Aid muther ****er. The match up also doesn't work, how could you possibly us? You can't, our posts and registration dates fail to match up. And the context of those posts remain incomparable. You expect negative reactions to an understood masterpiece. Look at 2001: A Space Odyssey, that's what I am; pure imagination filled with eye opening examinations of our futility as a specie...while KC is more of a NASA launch.

**** just don't add up.

Top 10 in USG:
1. Wade (34.4)
2. LBJ (31.4)
3. Kobe (29.8)
4. Parker (29.5)
5. Carmelo (28.1)*
6. Lou Williams (27.6)*
7. Devin Harris (27.5)
8. Dirk (27.4)
9. Roy (27.3)
10. Granger (27)

Please note that Carmelo is slightly below average efficiency-wise, and Lou Williams (lol wtf?) is way below average. The other 8 not only shoot/take a ton of possessions, but use them very wisely. Some of them (LBJ, Devin, Granger) are VERY efficient, and it's scary to think they could probably handle the ball/take more shots and provide value.
