I never felt Cleveland was the best team in the league and still don't obviously. Those that did (incorrectly) don't have a good grasp of the game and don't realize match ups are much more important in the playoffs. No offense.
Care to support the position that Cleveland hasn't been the best team this year?
I'm not sure what makes you so dismissive of other's knowledge and opinions, adding "no offense" as a fig leaf doesn't change what is a pretty insulting statement.
Last year should have been clue enough to that Cleveland wasn't really the best team in the league.
Honesty can be insulting so I thought I would throw out the the ' no offense fig leaf ' as you state for those that might get offended by it.
So basically your argument is that Cleveland didn't win last year means they weren't the best team this year?
Its pretty weak to say others don't understand basketball and then refuse to make substantive arguments.
I disagree I think it was more than 'substantive'(?). They had the best record in regular season last year (I assume that's why you think they were the best team this year) as well and that didn't turn out well. To me it means very little how many games a 1 man team wins in January. You probably thought this year's Cleveland team was much better than last year. I didn't so them losing early will not be big surprise to me.
This is what you said.

I was curious to what matchups and other factors you were referring to. I think its fair to say everyone at a basketball blog here is aware that they didn't win a title last year. Considering how much the core of their team changed I don't think that disqualifies them from being the best team this year.
Well most boston fans overrate other players on other teams. Like for instance I hear names like Jamison, Williams, and even Parker thrown around here like they are in KG, Pierces or Allens league. They have the best player in the league.
