You know the answer to that even if you don't agree.

You betting on CLE?

There is not a chance in h*ll I would bet on GS at 1/10.

That’s not what I asked.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

That’s not what I asked.

I agree, so lets end it on agreement.

Surprised iggy being out didn’t have an impact honestly. Who’ll be taking lbj now? Durant? Green?

Those are percentages, but it doesn't say if that's out of 100 shots or 5 shots. I.e. Fake News.

ETA: Lebron shoots 0% against me, so clearly I should defend him right?

False. 0/0 <> 0%

False. 0/0 <> 0%

And yet it's commonly written that way http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/year/2017/qualified/false/order/false

Idk the facts, but those numbers might not say much.
If Green take LeBron up top, LeBron misses a 3, Green has good %.
LeBron does pick n roll, separates from Green, wide open layup while Iggy tries to switch to him, Iggy’s % looks terrible.

True.

The only 2 players to guard Lebron more than 35 possessions last year was Durant and Iguodala.

Who will be the main player LBJ will be guarding?

I’m assuming that depends how much Jeff green plays. Klay?

Not sure what your point is. That's also a terrible comparison, since a .000 BA is bad, while a 0% opponent FG is quite good.

If you want to point out that small sample size (which is what JJ was getting at), 0/0 is not a good way to do it.

And if you think 0/0 is 0%, I have a bridge to sell you. But that’s besides the point

i think if TT starts he will guard KD and Lebron will guard Green

If they go small then he will have to guard KD

highly doubtful

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I hardly ever give betting advice. If you are going to take CLE for tonight's game bet the money line not the points.

[EJB]

highly doubtful

DG?

[mochjas]

DG?

either draymond if TT starts or KD if he doesn't

Lebron hasn’t been playing consistent great defense this playoffs and they’d love to conserve him for offense, so maybe, but I wouldn’t be too sure. I’d think they’d want to try JG on KD, but TT on him is risky, no? He’s gotten better at wing defense but he isn’t great, and KD burned the Cavs last year.
