Skating to the conference finals (without your best player)

[Sheik1287]

Do you guys think the Cavs could skate to the conference finals without LeBron? Every game vs. the Pistons was close, and game 1 vs. the Hawks was close for the Cavs (with LeBron).

The Warriors have missed Curry for most of the playoffs and have only lost 1 game. Warriors may even sweep the Blazers without Curry. I just wonder how much affect it would cause the Cavs if LeBron would miss that much time in the playoffs. Would the Cavs even make it out of the 1st round?

Curious about what everyone thinks. Thoughts?

Unbiased post only, no Kobe d1ck riders please.

no. The cavs are all role players who feed off lebrons playmaking and shot creation to score. Take out lebron and whos ur distrubuter? Kyrie and delly can't do it so it becomes iso ball like OKC. Without lebron they probably wouldn't make the playoffs. Look at Miami, it took Deng, joe johnson, green, winslow, richardson, whiteside for them to even make the playoffs.

I don't think so. LeBron is the engine of the Cavaliers. When he's off the bench the team is struggling to score.

Didn't the Blazers beat the Cavs by 40 this season while fully healthy?

They wouldn't. Anyone who says they would is just a lebron hater tbh.
