You know the haters are ****ing shook when

[ISHGoat]

they resort to discrediting an entire conference to discredit the play of one man.

if he wins this year, theyre going to discredit this whole season and era too

Cavs would be the 7th seed in the West

If they pull off a miracle and beat the warriors there will be no excuses, but nothing we have seen suggests they would even win one game against them.

Is he NOT playing in a dogsh!t conference though?

[Akrazotile]

Cavs would be the 7th seed in the West

Hawks would be the 2nd.

yes his conference is relatively week, but with the way its being portrayed by haters on this board youd think it was nba vs dleaguers or college kids or something. you guys act like lebron isnt single handedly DOMINATING an entire nba conference

no matter how weak a conference is, when you can be SO MUCH head and shoulders above everyone else, maybe its not that everyone else is weak, its just that lebron is amazing

Probably worse, they'd be playing a WC schedule.

Think they would drop a few more games playing in the SW division? I do. 8th seed at best.

I would have been shocked had the Cavs NOT made the finals, even after losing Love.

Once there though, it's a crap shoot. This 2/5 stuff with Lebron is old.

Here's something that will blow your basketball knowledge, teams don't play every regular season game like it's their last.

This is the problem though. Your ilk continues to regurgitate a narrative that just isn't true. I mean, how is LeBron "single handily dominating" while shooting a career low percentage; a percentage that is below league average?

No matter how bad they were in NY, Shumpert and Smith have been playing out of their minds. And how about Thompson/Delly? They've been great role players this entire postseason run. Fact of the matter is the Cavs have everything you need when looking for championship pedigree (defense/rebounding/shooting), and this despite missing their 2nd and 3rd best players.

Yeah I give LeBron credit for being the driving force, but I also recognize his teammates play amid the bleak eastern conference.

The Finals should give us more perspective - on everything, in my opinion.

If Cavs played in the Western Conference they'd probably finish 3rd or 4th this years after the slow start.

But at the end of the day, this:

For a Western Conference team to win the trophy, they'd have to beat FOUR 50+ wins team.

For an Eastern Conference team to win the trophy, they'd have to beat only THREE 50+ wins team.

We already know that the West > East, but dont over exaggerate the situation. As it stands, the best teams in the East were basically given a first round bye. After that, it was up for grabs between ATL/Chicago/Washington/CLE.

why move the cavs to the west, if lebron joins a west team they would be stacked af
