The Cavs bench is much better this year than last season. Even though he's been hampered much of the season, Moe Williams is an improvement over Mike Miller at guard. And Richard Jefferson is an enormous upgrade over Shawn Marion. Frye took the roster spot of Varaejo and is contributing in a big way.
J.R. Smith is most effective when he is the 3rd or 4th option. When the Cavs were forced to have J.R. be the #2 scorer in the Finals, it was a disaster.
Agree....except for RJ....dude played for the Nets ....superathletic guy (in his youth) but extremely limited with NO heart. When motivated, he can be a decent defender though
Is Mo Williams hurt?
Jefferson knows his role here. Why I said an enormous upgrade over Marion is the RJ is playing well enough to allow LeBron to get some rest. Marion was running on fumes last year and was very ineffective.
Mo Williams has been battling a knee problem since December. He sits out for long stretches of games and then comes back for a couple. But he filled in at the beginning of the season when Kyrie was recovering. If he can get healthy, he's an effective spot scorer off the bench. Dellavedova is better defensively than Mo, but Delly is not much on offense.
Who do you think gives Golden State more matchup problems in the Western Conf Finals? I think Pop's coaching is a huge advantage, but Westbrook will make Curry work way harder than he has so far.
