Has there ever been a modern championship team with TWO major defense liabilities in the starting lineup? Because I can’t think of one*, and that’s what’s always bothered me about this Cavs team.

Leonard and LA? It’s not like Tony Parker has ever been a great defender.

So they should have let him walk? Or picked up his QO offer and let him walk after this season as an unrestricted?

I’m willing to bet they would have traded Moz if they could have, though he did start most of the season for them, so ...

Fair enough — it was a below average game for him, based on his averages. Can’t argue that.

Which West teams would LeBron *not* have been the best player on for the vast majority of his career?

a) so what other moves should the Cavs have made? JR Smith for Westbrook? Love for Leonard?

Gotcha, so you don’t understand the cap and you have no other answers. Good talk.

So what moves should they have made?

when the Cavs didn’t significantly overhaul their roster after last year’s playoffs.

Well, he was 3rd in MVP voting this year, so no.

19/9/8 with 4 steals (though below 50% shooting) = “fine” to me. If it is sub-fine to you, ok.

But no other GM in the league — including the one in Oakland — saw this coming for GSW. At the start of 2014-15, LeBron/Love/Irving looked awesome on paper, and Golden State was coming off a loss in the first round to the Clippers.

To be fair to Love, they were more-or-less in the game until he got concussed. That’s when the wheels really came off.

I’m having Kinja problems, but yes, all the stars to this.

Honestly, outside of Westbrook, who would have had a good game against GSW last night?

It’s almost like the Warriors have multiple awesome perimeter defenders in Klay, Green and Iggy.

Honestly, as good as the Warriors offense was, their defense was a much bigger problem.

Are you me? I also had no interest in the MP for the longest time (I had no prior MP experience), then finally gave it a try after my second play through and totally loved it.

That’s a frank assessment.
