After they were 19 - 20 the trades, and getting lebron back healthy..
Cavs are 34 - 9 in regular season, 12 - 2 in playoffs...and 14 - 1 against the west.
And between playoffs and regular season, they only lost two game at home.
And 2 losses coming out of those 9 , there was no Lebron.

Being brutally honest, the Cavs do have a good shot if the role players continue their solid play. The Cavs D has been really good, much better than I thought they could do. Maybe it's a bit skewed because the level of quality in the East is worse than the West but they have a much better defensive unit with Shump and TT in the starting line up. GSW are on a whole different level though, they can score and play D.
About LeBron, this is exactly what I wanted to see from him. Too many times in the past, if he was struggling with his shot, he become less aggressive. But in this postseason, even if he's shooting at a lower FG% and turning the ball over, he's still being aggressive and willing his team to the finish line. Sometimes you're just gonna struggle with your shot but if you play good D and keep being aggressive, good things happen. Looks like Bran finally understands this.
Congrats to Cleveland
[QUOTE=J Shuttlesworth]WTF are you talking about? MJ never averaged a triple double for a finals run

I think the Cavs starting unit can hold their own, but what about that bench?
Only Jr Smith and Delladova, idk man warriors are too stacked.

Magic averaged a double double for 9 straight playoff runs. What does he win for that?

Accolades that he didn't really deserve because those should've gone to Kareem.

I think you missed the point that 3ball claimed LeBron has to have a 36/10/10 series for it to be an "MJ level finals"... which is asinine considering MJ never averaged those numbers for a finals

Being considered one of the best players of all-time, maybe?

He deserved everything he got, and in fact was better than Byron Scott in 1988.
[QUOTE=3ball]they just got another all-star caliber talent in JR Smith, who has only ever needed to be motivated to play up to his talent level... he'll be motivated in lebron-ville.
then they just got mosgov, who's always been a valued gem of a big man - shot-blocker, banger and finisher around the rim - exactly what the cavs were missing.
the cavs already had the league's best top talent - they're the only team in the league with 3 dream-teamers and/or all-stars.
and now, with these additions, [B]they have the best supporting talent in the league..[/B].
does anyone in the league have a better top 3, or better supporting talent after the top 3?
they will breeze through the[B] all-time weak East[/B], and face an inexperienced team in the Finals [B](HOU OR GS[/B]), who will shudder in the bright lights and lose to the cavs... that pretty much covers it... :([/QUOTE]
Spot on as always :applause:
3ball won the ISH MVP award, and he delivers.
:applause: :applause: :applause:

Did he, really? I think you'll find that a lot of people think Kareem should have won the 1985 MVP (and some who argue the first one should have gone to Kareem as well)
They will win game 7 on Delly's game winning shot.
[QUOTE=StrongLurk]You know, I actually like you as a poster since Jordan was my sports idol growing up. But this is so obvious a troll. One, Cavs aren't winning this year. Two, comparing Wade and Bosh to Jordan and Barkley is :facepalm. Three, even if I go by the point that Wade and Bosh were the best at their positions like Jordan and Barkley...they still weren't even that. Wade you can argue for, but after 2011-2012 season, Wade declined hard. And Bosh the best PF:biggums:, maybe top 5, maybe.[/QUOTE]
You know that the two chips they won was all fourth quarter Wade right? That and a Ray Allen 3.
