Steve Kerr is too dumb not to give David Lee big minutes

[imnew09]

Stop with the Lee can't play defense... he doesn't even have to play D when Mosgov and TT are averaging less than 10 shots per game. And Draymond is overrated AF

Steve Kerr acts like David Lee gotta guard Prime Shaq or something... Start Lee and put him on TT

[blacknapalm]

it's not the bigs they're worried about. in fact, putting lee in would almost force kerr to take mozzy out since lee can take advantage in the PNR on offense.

it's the other side. lee's defense on the PNR. lebron and co will relentlessly attack him if he's in the game. he's not a good rim protector or PNR defender. cavs will attack that weak link. i'm not sure you can have bogut in there w/ him as spacing will be fvcked as well.

if David Lee played 40 minutes LeBron would score 100 points

He'd foul out before hitting 40.

youre dumb. You act like Draymond is doing anything better

I was saying it all year, but it's hard to argue with success (67 wins).


My fear was actually relying on DrayGod against the big PF's out West like; Aldridge, Griffin, Duncan, Randolph, etc.

Matching up with legit PF's for single games in the regular season is one thing. Having to bang with these guys for a 7 game series is a different story. Luckily, we pretty much avoided all the big PF's out West except for Randolph.


Anyways, Lee's offensive skill set is prime for this offense. His ability to set screens, pass, and shoot from the mid-range makes him a deadly screen setter. He's also just a bigger guy than DrayGod, and is able to hold his ground on post-ups and box-outs better. I honestly wanted us to incorporate Lee back into the starting lineup when he got back from injury, but again, it's hard to argue with the success we were having.

Kerr and the rest of the staff should have been thinking about the playoffs though. Completely benching a 20/10 PF heading into the post-season was short-sighted.

It goes both ways. Cavs paint protection is a weak link as well as Blatt wants his players to close out more on the 3s

I would understand putting Draymond in against Houston, Memphis, even Pelicans because all those teams got legit Bigs that could score in the paint. But C'mon... the Cavs bigs are averaging below 10 shots a GAME.

[NumberSix]

David Lee isn't some key to unlock the Cleveland defense. Cavs have a short rotation and they were drained by the time Lee was put in the game.

[Taller than CP3]

Golden State fans in full blown panic mode relying on David Lee of all people to bring them home a ring, f*cking lol.

that's why they gotta play Lee with Bogut.

[iamgine]

They can't have Andrew, David and Stephen all together for too long. It will be too white.

[Funktion]

Double/Double at worst and 5 fouls by halftime.

[AirFederer]

They need to take out Dell. As long as he`s making Steph work som hard for his points, GSW are going down in five.
