cavs team doesn't look in shape.

IDK the year before james showed up they won 33...they added love and a bunch of players....40 wins gets you around the top 6 in the east at least

Cavs will win in the 50's if James stays healthy, but he'll play way more then 35 mpg unless they are decided before the 4th qtr.

Thompson sure isn't justifying that contract.

Gasol isn't even playing well and the Bulls are still winning....

Everyone keeps telling them they don't need to be to win.

When the Heat lost to the Mavs, they, as a group, entered the following season in tip top shape, stomped the Mavs opening day, and never let up.

I know it is the opener but what a sloppy game

rose and butler are a combined 9 for 26

Thompson looks bad.

Gasol has 2 points.

Thompson looks bad.

Thompson has been USELESS thus far....geezus that post play he ran for himself was not good either....rusty as hell...the Cavs do look slow as all shit

its only 1 game but I would be a little concern. This team isn't as good as last year. Overall we all know Cavs will be fine but LBJ is acting up already and its only 1 game.

another yr of brooks driving us crazy

the Cavs were 19-20 at one point last year and still lost 2 games in the entire Eastern Conference Playoffs....and this is a deeper team last years, Blatt has a year under his belt, and the Cavs have better chemistry....their is a reason the Cavs are HUGE favorites to win the East.

Cavs roster should actually be better this season.
They know longer have Miller, Perkins, Marion..and who else?
All were total garbage.

James isn't getting any healthier or younger. Sooner or later it will catch up to him. Do you honestly believe Irving, Love, James will all be healthy playoff time? When is Irving ever healthy? The Cavs possibly make the finals but won't win it all just like last year. Those are the best odds.

Only reason is James, which is a pretty good reason.
The coach, chemistry, rest of roster are all total non factors if he's not healthy when May comes around.

you can see that adding Mo and Jeff were nice pickups...especially Mo. I trust Mo so much more than JR to give the Cavs offense if/when they need it. Jeff can still move. Like they said on the broadcast- he was the only guy that looked good in the preseason on the whole team.

East is a lot better then last year. I know cavs will be right there but they don't look deeper and that bad back of LBJ is not a good sign. Again I think Cavs will be fine its just not a gimme that they make the finals this year.

I like Mo but Jefferson is a pointless move. Vet help thats all.
