Probably but I don’t care. Lets see how all those old guys look at the end of the season. That’s the only thing that really matters.
Exactly right, and that's where cleveland's biggest 'threat' lies. Without Kyrie their success is going to be 100% dependent on guys like Kevin love, Dwyane wade and Isaiah Thomas being healthy at the end of the season and through the playoffs.
Of any of those guys are at anything less than 95% health the cavs will have a tough road.
If Isaiah can't come back on time or reagrivates the injury, will go on to the playoffs with essentially no PG on their roster. And if they try to start crowder and love up front against Tatum and horford, I think that matchup definitely goes in our favor. They'll also have no pg who had any hope of defending Kyrie (Thomas coming back doesn't change that). I think a team like Boston, who has so many shooters, is a bad matchup for a team as defensively questionable as Cleveland.
Smother them defensively, generate transition opportunities, try to force them to run with us and rule long their old legs can keep up.
