Draymond, Klay, and NFL 18 Coins Iguodala. No answers for the burning fireball that was Kyrie.But defense matters, and playmaking matters. Kyrie is among the worst defenders in the league at his position — he's Steve Nash level — and there are a number of more creative, consistent passers at point guard right now. Because of all that, I lump Irving into the second tier of point guards with Damian Lillard and John Wall. This position is so deep! Where are you at with



Kyrie after his masterful finals? Same place, generally, but I now elevate him to the top of that second group with Wall, Lowry, and Dame. He's so good offensively that he's bound to be overrated by the general public, and I have always been a bit of a skeptic. Defense does matter a lot, especially at that position. And playmaking. I can keep running through my issues with his game, but the bottom line is he showed out in the most pivotal moments of the season.



That matters, too.I look at Kyrie as a metaphor for their whole team. I didn't believe fully in him or them LeBron excepted until I saw it happen. I even said to one of the other writers during Game 7 that J.R. Smith will not save them. Then, J.R. Smith saved them when he popped a couple of threes early in the second half.We have to look at this team in a whole new light now and that will take some getting used to.



How odd is it that they waited until the final three games of the season to become who we wanted them to be and that was enough to win the championship? I think that's the ultimate testament to LeBron's power.

Paul Flannery and NBA Live Coins Tom Ziller are previewing all 30 teams via conversation. Next up: the Sacramento Kings. Find all of the Flanns and Zillz previews here. Let's talk about Boogie Cousins. Man's going into his seventh season. He's a two-time All-Star, a two-time All-NBA performer, and now an Olympic gold medalist. He's the most physically-



Dominant big man of his generation ... and he still hasn't come close to sniffing the playoffs.As the internet's foremost expert on DeMarcus and the Kangz, what gives? As with all things, there are multiple causes and the interrelatedness of those causes is nigh impossible to decipher.                      There has been persistent coaching instability. How much of that is due to Boogie's frequent clashes with coaches?



There has been pervasive drama among players. How much of that should be pinned on Boogie's anti-leadership? How much of that anti-leadership should be blamed on woeful roster management by all three of Cousins' GMs?Defense is an annual issue. How much of that is on your starting center? How much of his deficiency in that realm is due to the ultra-heavy offensive load he carries? How much of his ultra-heavy offensive load is due to his ego? How much is due to woeful roster management?                     



You see why the issue is so thorny. I'm reminded of the riddling debate Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves have at the beginning of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Their band, Wyld Stallyns, sounds like trash. Winter's Bill S. Preston, Esq. argues that the Stallyns won't be great until they convince Eddie Van Halen to join the NBA 2K18 MT Coins band. Reeves' "Ted" Theodore Logan suggests that recruiting

The biggest question might be whether the team should still consider moving Love. It's not every stretch-4 who can lock down Steph Curry on a critical Game 7 possession, but ... How wild is NBA 2K18 MT it that everyone was talking about trading Love after Game 3 you even wrote a whole column about it and now he's a folk hero after that defensive stop?I still think they should trade him, though, and I think they should trade him to Boston for a bunch of good players.



I know what they say about three quarters not equaling a dollar, but this is a different circumstance because the Cavs already have two superstar offensive players.I also don't love their depth, especially on the bench, which is yet another reason to deal. But being the champ gives you the luxury of time, so there is no rush.You make an excellent point about LeBron.



That's something to watch in regards to Lue's coaching this season. It's so tempting to put the guy in there, but they have to be smart with his minutes.

Where does he rank on your point guard list? He really showed me a lot during the finals. Offensively, he's up there in the top tier with Steph, CP3, and Westbrook. He's right there. His combination of handles, shooting, and finishing is unfair. The NBA Live Mobile Coins Warriors had no answer whatsoever in the finals, and they have three of the best defenders in the league on the perimeter in
