Take Lebron off this team and not only would they not have HCA in round 1 of the playoffs but they wouldn't get out of round 1

Take Lebron off this team and not only would they not have HCA in round 1 of the playoffs but they wouldn't get out of round 1

If there was no LeBron, they'd have his money tied up in other players though.
Either way, it shows what Kyrie/Love essentially are, on their own.

True but a team with Kyrie, Love, Jr, Shump, Tristan, and Frye should not get killed like this.

They'd struggle to make the playoffs without LeBron.

I'm working, so really just checking the score on
my phone.
Seems brutal though.

They are 11-6 in 17 games with Lue (1.5 games up on Toronto)
The were 12-5 in their last 17 with Blatt (3.5 games up on Toronto)


I guess they are a better team. I will entertain the idea as I am not a blind Cavs hater.
There might be a lot of subtle measurable as I am not overly invested in the minute details.

But, the evidence suggests that the coaching had nothing to do with the teams ability to win/lose.

Cavs' Smith after loss: Concern 'extremely high'

 

[bksballer89]

What a dumb move by Toronto. This is a franchise that has choked in the playoffs in back to back seasons. You see Cleveland rest LBJ and lose so you decide to rest Lowry and are well on your way to a L also? That makes no sense.

Just like Kyrie did prior to LBJ going back.

 

[Bolts]

Just like Kyrie did prior to LBJ going back.

And Love did before teaming with LeBron.

 

[trojanfan12]

Wow, what a great teammate.

 

[bksballer89]

Victory for Miami. 33-26

Miami now enters March in a good position. Very soft schedule in March. I honestly think at the end of March they'll be between 43-45 wins as long as they can stay healthy

 

[Black Adam]

yah i think that was insane he played the ENTIRE 2nd half--- and that probably contributed to his sloppy game-- with all the turnovers--- the thing is LeBron- said- the other day that he feels great and 10 times better than last year so i dunno.

and you believe him, huh...?

 

[True Lakers Fan]

and you believe him, huh...?

Isn't that the same as telling every one you got the Golden State Bridge for sale for a good price?

So according to Windhorst this morning on Mike & Mike, Irving & Lue does not have a great relationship.

Yeah, it's Broussard, so take it for what it's worth, but he was on ESPN this morning saying that folks are talking about how there's always drama with the Cavs and that there is no real leadership anywhere in the organization.

Lue better watch out. When it comes to a player like Kyrie and a rookie head coach, the former usually wins out. Especially since Lebron is now on the decline while Kyrie's is on the way up.

Might have to listen to that. Did he go into more detail at all... or did he basically just say that?

Wow. I'm so shocked I can't believe that.
