All about getting in shape for Kyrie. For a normal every day guy he would be considered as having a good body and in shape.
But for a professional athlete that plays with his body the way Kyrie does to shield off big men when he finishes he needs to work on his core and build more muscle.
Steph Curry added thickness and bulk around his shoulders and back. He also toned up a lot.
Russell Westbrook also added thickness and bulk to his frame which allows him to take contact
Muscle mass protects ligaments

It has nothing to do with the franchise. It has everything to do with the owner always making poor decisions..
You have a bad owner, but historically the Cavs are a losing franchise with a losing record to match. That pre-dates your owner. Not tryna single you out, but teams like the Cavs winning championships isnt common. Certain franchises are more predisposed to winning than others.
Can someone explain to me why he played this season?
Why not just have the surgery and sit out the season
NOT like he was HELPING the team...
ratings and attendance is down ANYWAY!
you could argue he made sh*t WORSE
Trae is balling tonight
He'll never make it a full season ever again.
KD fucked up
Royally.
Alec Burks is coming thru in the OT
shit if we gonna be honest, KD ain’t been no fucking iron man either...I’m just saying
Joel's an asshole for making Tobias get that turnover at the end of the game.
You know TNT gives 0 fucks bout this Warrior Rocket game. The caption during the broadcast actually said the game is in Oracle in Oakland. 
Yeah GS got a steal with that kid.
Shit was a dumb ass move on KD part; it made no sense. And they are whispers that some in nets management already wanna get rid of kyrie
That is a really silly rewrite of history. KingStanharqa-level delusion. A Hall of Fame talent does not become less valuable retroactively because of "pace."

Aye the train is never late.
Its actually a fact based assessment done with the use of additional data called "time". Making real time assessments and then making them again using accrued data isnt "rewriting" you stupid muthafucka. Its updating. We now have information to better form a conclusion. We once thought of Kyrie as an all NBA player on the trajectory of being a franchise player and possible future HOF. We now have a collection of data that suggests he was/is a uber talented scorer incapable of being a leader or franchise player and who consistently put up empty numbers on teams that either won sub 30 games with him as lead performer or talented teams that actually performed better without him. He is also undeniably injury prone and malcontent.

With Lebron he was in the conversation with Steph Curry (franchise PG and HOF bound talents). Without him hes some hybrid of Stephon Marbury and Gilbert Arenas (all star caliber PG incapable of leading or winning anything significant). Oh, and i will take those guys at peak powers over peak Kyrie.

Kyrie's performance in 2020 cannot make him a worse player in 2016. That's absurd. It's like taking Jordan's Wizard years, Kobe's post-achilles tear years or Ali's final years and using that further "collection of data" to posit some preposterous reevaluation of their primes.
This is the same mentality that clouds your ability to appreciate Canibus. "I wanted to be the illest for a moment in time." If you were the best in 1998, nothing that happens in 2012 can take that away.
Actually.. it would literally be the opposite of taking MJs Zards years. But... dont let inaccurate analogies stop a good (bad) rant.
Keep going YP.
Shit was real stupid on Durants part. Kyrie will be gone this summer. Not gonna get full value for a hurt nutjob though.Shit was a dumb ass move on KD part; it made no sense. And they are whispers that some in nets management already wanna get rid of kyrie

People's lives can go in infinitely different directions.
West Indian Archie failing to fulfill his potential under one set of circumstances cannot confirm what his potential or existing skill level was in the first place.
According to you stans Jordan and Kobe never fell off, so the Wizard years and post achilles years are absolutely part of their legacy and career. If LeBron doesnt lead the Lakers to a chip this year in his 17th season you, Spida, Hotnix, and several other "Mikey is GOD" no nothings will make a "career defining" take about it as you stans have done for a decade. YOU made a Kobe vs. Bron thread during a Finals (2014) he didnt even play in "post achilles" and used Brons team losing to make a washed Kobe seem better. Clout chasing.
Cavs went to the playoffs 22 of 50 franchise history and has a winning record in 23 of 50 franchise history.
That's impressive, if you ask me,especially for a franchise that's small. There's been other NBA franchises that's been in the league longer than the Cavs and they're in way more bad shape like the Kings.
People seem to forget, how good the Cavs were in the late 80's and early 90's. The only reason, they never won a title then was because of the Bulls.
