Sullinger is a FA and he's 50/50 to stay with the team. He's an Al Jefferson type with a little outside shot but hasn't bloomed into a legit force in the league. Trading him will be fine with me.
And Lue, if Cavs win the title, will have his second ring (one as assistant of Doc in Boston); and will be the shortest tenured coach to win a title. And gotta hand it to him, he's not shy in experimenting with player rotation in the regular season. He's got a deep bench too, with Mozgov and Mo Williams being relegated to garbage time roles.

That's true Steve. What I meant is on a per game basis, as Blatt was fired early in the season, so Lue did not complete the 82 games as coach. I just recall now, Pat Riley succeeded Paul Westhead when the latter was fired into the season as well. So Pat would be the first in this regard.
I thought the Thunder was your team. I didn't know you favored the Cavs. They sure look good right now but so do the Warriors and the Thunder. The championship series should be one for the ages
We'll see... as it stands.. I am not sure any NBA team has an answer for the GSW when they are running on all cylinders, yesterday's game was such a display. Somewhere in the game (beginning of third Q?) the Thunders just could not find any answers to the GSW assaults. The game was over by the 3rd quarter.
Surprisingly, despite the twin towers of OKC, the Warriors have outrebounded the Thunder these 2 games. And yes, agree with Frantz, when the Warriors are going full throttle in offense, it kinda rattles the opponents, and before you know it, they have a big lead. Igoudala has been relatively quiet but once he finds his mark, that's where the Warriors become even deadlier.
