Hopefully Wiggins doesn't have a significant eart condition that requires a heart surgery.

He is a good player. He would look good for the Wolves. So would Marcus Smart.

Yeah good point. I was thinking that also but didn't think about them being tired.

Edit: the refs are letting these guys play also it's pretty physical out there.

I thought Boston was supposed to be well coached? Their shot selection has been absolute crap.

TT is a good defender max effort guy he has been doing what he does well and Korver quite frankly might be their 2nd best player in this series and he has scored under 10ppg. He is a good shooter but not a volume guy. After those guys and to some extent Love who isn't playing. It's just wildcard guys even George Hill. This might be one of the worst supporting casts Lebron has ever had...it feels like some of these guys could be better especially George Hill. I mean a little over a year ago he was a playoff hero before getting hurt.

Kyrie Irving leaving was a big loss for lebron. Lebron needs another alpha perimeter guy to play and share the burden with to have the best chance of winning championships.

He had kyrie in cleveland and wade in miami. The rest of the team will basically be turned into spot up shooters and off ball cutters. See love and bosh, they were 20+ppg high usage guys who has to adjust their game and turn themselves into spot up shooters to play effectively alongside lebron.

Lebron is great and he makes shooter look great. But he need another elite perimeter guy to run with to win championships. He doesnt have that with this cavs team.

Lebron would be great for the wolves. Give him the MLE.

Tatum was the only Celtic tonight that didn't look lost out there. Bright future for that kid. They got nothing out of Rozier or Brown after a great playoffs. Oh yeah and that Lebron Guy is good.
