And to his credit, it kinda worked. But I think he left some meat on those bones. James/Kyrie/Wiggins could've been a damn difficult trio had Wiggins been allowed to develop into a 3 and D wing that his talent said he should've been rather than the volume player he became in Minnesota. And he'd have been in a perfect spot for that to happen alongside those 2. If his last 4 years in GS are the first 4 years of his career, that's a championship team. And GS is using him how Cleveland easily could've. In so doing, his development arc would've been completely different as well. Wiggins effectively wasted the first 5 years of his career being asked to be a lead dog in Minnesota when what he should've been was a premier 2nd/3rd option. |

What has KD done since? James is great but so is Steph. Lets not act like James won all his championships alone. |

Yep. Looks like Zion tore his hammy. Shaq and Barkley were saying rub some icy hot on it and get back out there lol

People will rag on Klay for that loss to the Kings, however Chris Paul was ABYSMAL the entire season and was nothing against the Kings.

Chris Paul is like 40 years old. Calling on him to contribute in a meaningful way at thus point is the mistake. Not everyone can be LeBron at age 40

Sure Herro....take your time! A few tenths of a second quicker on that three and they might have had a shot there if Philly still turned it over like they did.

Kind of an interesting contrast. The east seems very bottom heavy in the playoffs where the west seems top heavy. Many of the play in teams seem more formidable than any eastern conference team not named Boston. And even Boston just seems like they’re a choke waiting to happen.

The bottom of the East is worse than the bottom of the West. The top is worse than the top of the West. It's just a worse conference. By quite a bit, IMO. |
