Cavs are back. Wonder how long before James quits on this group
But they won 2 games against good teams in a row! Surely that means they can challenge the warriors? If your team is struggling and you get two players from the lakers and one from the jazz while sending away a two time all star and future hall of famer your team always becomes dominant?
The fact that DWade is a future hall of famer and IT made 2 all star games doesnt change the fact that their presence was hurting the Cavs.
The problem is that people way overreacted to them picking up 4 solid bench players.
I don't really disagree with this. Their ceiling was probably higher with those two guys if lue was a good coach. The main point, which we agree on, is they got 4 role players and everyone acted like they got prone Tracey McGrady and Shaq. They have issues and even when love is back their third best player is still George hill. That's not usually a recipe for a championship. I really really really hope Hayward is eating kale 24 hours a day and comes back this year because we would absolutely smoke them.
Wade is done. You keep calling him a HOFer and acting like he is still that player and it is just silly. It does a great disservice to your argument.
Thomas is hurt. Now maybe Thomas gets healthy by the time the playoffs start, but maybe he doesn't. The Thomas that was on the floor in Cleveland, no coach in the world could make good. He was just an awful shell of himself.
Obviously the Cavs have a good top 2, and then tail off. And whether George Hill, Rodney Hood, or Jordan Clarkson is their 3rd best player, that player is weak as many title teams go, but people on this board seem to think Boston with Jaylen Brown as its 3rd best player are a real title threat as well, so I'm confused by the sentiment that the Cavs can't win, but Boston can, especially when the Cavs have the best player in the world (or at least top 2).
