My God, Cleveland is absolutely terrible when Lebron is on the bench. Chicago up 7 late in the third now.

Rondo playing all star Rondo level, right now.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Yeah, I'm not sure I want to face playoff Rondo in the first round.

At what point does everyone consider that something bad could be happening to the Cavs and they might not be able to just "Flip a switch" come playoff time?

Like the month of March has been embarrassing for them.Squad is now fully healthy too. If their D and chemistry doesn't improve One of the Celtics/Wizards/Raptors could be finals bound.

You just know he'd revert back to 2012 Miami series form against us, too. A final "screw you" to the C's for trading him, even though it was absolutely the right move.

It's certainly going to be a heavier switch to flip.  It depends on their first round matchup.  Do they get Atlanta, who fell down without Millsap, but who's back for the playoffs?  A somewhat hot Miami team?  Or do they get the Pacers or Pistons, matchups that will allow them to start flipping the switch in round 1 and finish flipping it in Round 2?

They'll get whitewashed in the Finals regardless if they win the East. Not balanced enough.

Better than facing TOR in the 2nd round and CLE in the ECF.

Looks like Lebron  & Co will get a lot of calls now.

I'm not sure these Cavs will win the Eastern title.

Their offense is just drive a kick. That's it.
