For everyone thinking Cavs are stacked

[dubeta]

Take Bran out of the Cavs..

Do they still make the playoffs??

If so explain how none of them ever made it (outside of Andy) before

[stalkerforlife]

Of course they make the playoffs with Kyrie, Love, and Waiters in the East.

[navy]

Whether they are stacked or not remains to be seen.

Plenty of superteams are formed only to find out that expectations are not reality.

[J Shuttlesworth]

East? Yes
West? No

LeBron is what makes them a top team

[chazzy]

Considering they were 5 games out of the playoffs last year without Kevin Love, Mike Miller, David Blatt, another year of development for their young players, Kyrie for 11 games, Varejao for 17.. then yes

They lost all star Deng who actually played defence

Lakers have a good history of that...

You bet your ass this Team wont wont play D. Deng walked and they're arguably trading their second best defender on the Team in Wiggins.

Irving & Waiters are allergic

Love is incapable

Relying on the likes of Anderson, Miller and possibly Allen and Marion for Defense would be a joke at this point in their careers.

Aside from the talent on the floor, David Blatt is billed as an Offensive genius, which sounds a lot like a Euro D'antoni to me.

Trust me, Lebron will miss Spo's defensive schemes.

Like this one time in 2013? :biggums:

People can say what they want about that 04 squad, but they made the Finals.

Exactly :applause:

Thats a big reason why this team is a lottery team without Bron

They made the Finals because they still had Shaq and sorta had Kobe.

Payton and Malone were terrible.


Which is the thing with Superteams. If Lebron declines, Love or Kyrie get injured, etc, etc, this stacked Cavs team could end up being a laughing stock like the 2013 Lakers were.

What chu mean "sorta"? :oldlol:

Kobe was balling out all year up until the Finals, where Detriot's smothering D did a number on him AND Shaq, shit.

[OncePerMonth]

They absolutely make it. They should have made it last year, and now they are adding LeBron and Love.

[Rameek]

They wouldnt be much without LBJ. Possibly an 8th seed. Blatt history plus the support of the owner that locker room would be corrected.

[JtotheIzzo]

Yes whether it is an improved Bennett and Wiggins or Love, this team is markedly better.

Fact.

Branstans throwing teammates under the bus.

Shaq was beasting and feasting on single coverage while kobe was hogging it away from him and bricking them out of the series. don't revise history, the truth is the truth.

Deng sucked on the Cavs. He didn't wanna be here at all, he basically said that in his interview when he was dissing our locker room morale. He was nothing close to the guy I watched on the Bulls all those years.
