Would Cavs have been able to beat the Thunder or Spurs in a series this year?

Looking at Lebron and their performance in the finals this year..

No.

They would have beaten both teams. Mental edge plays a big part in a duel. The cavs have self doubt when facing golden state. Losing to them in the finals last year put the doubt in their mind rid they can beat them healthy. Follow that up by the regular season losses in which Kyrie was just coming back into game shape. This series is more than just X's and O's. On paper, Cleveland should be performing a lot better but are not playing their game.

None of this would have happened agsibst okc and San Antonio. The cavs would have been a lot more efficient against both.
