Dude said Thompson and Love played more above expectations than LeBron lol.

:wtf:

Love played pedestrian and I thought he would play pedestrian. Jefferson and Thompson played better games than I thought they would. LeBron and Irving played far worse than I thought they would.

Still, as far as actual output, LeBron was the best. But it's not saying much.

then I dont think he has anything to do on that ranking considering you have no expectations for him... just skews whatever point you are trying to make.

Thompson was a pushover on both ends, please. His PnR defense was terrible, he couldnt box anyone out, got dunked on, and stuffed on offense.

Absolutely. You thought Thompson would win the game for the Cavs? They were not far worse than I thought they would be. They aren't great and they didn't play well... no biggie.

Kyrie Irvong and LeBron James are the ones who should take over these games, pontentially JR Smith. Not Thompson.

They didn't exceed my expectations but I didn't expect much to begin with. I did expect LeBron and Irving to do something though.
