If You switched any player onto the cavs other than lebron

[lebron23james]

Do they still make it out of the east? A team going from the lottery to the finals? Discuss

 

[bksballer89]

Yes

 

[trojanfan12]

The Lakers could make the playoffs in the East. So, yes.

How many teams from the west beat gs more than once? And lebron did it without kyrie and klove

I don't think their is a player in the nba that has a bigger impact or can change a teams prospects on a team than lebron

Memphis, LAC, SAS, & a healthy OKC team

The clippers lost to the rockets who went on to lose to gs 4-1 lol

SAS lost to the clippers...

 

[lebron23james]

Let me put it this way can you even name a player who has taken a team from the lottery to the finals in 1 year?

I agree. I misread the question. Without Lebron, the Cavs would still make the playoffs in the east (which was the question I answered, but not the one that was asked). However, they would not win the east without Lebron.

SAS lost to the clippers...

So that means both of them would not win more than 1 game against GSW? That's some stupid logic you have there

Lmao did you just use the they lost them who lost to them and we beat them so we'd beat them. That's the transitive property of stupidity.

Discussion ends here.

 

[tducey]

No they wouldn't, they'd still make the playoffs but I doubt they make the East finals.

If you take the derp outta your derpidy doo wop derp you still have a heaping pile of herpa derp.

I was going to make an argument but then I saw LeBron James is in your username. Never mind.

More than likely the better team always wins in a series...How could an inferior team win more games? What logic do you have, all i stated was a fact vs your opinion backed up on nothing

 

[lebron23james]

I agree. I misread the question. Without Lebron, the Cavs would still make the playoffs in the east (which was the question I answered, but not the one that was asked). However, they would not win the east without Lebron.

I doubt they would even make the playoffs based on their past few years

 

[Clayton]

Just on the Spurs alone: Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, David West and Lamarcus Aldridge would make the playoffs if on the Cavs instead of Lebron.

I think if you replace Lebron with an above average rebounder then they make the playoffs. Finals is a slightly different story. There are probably only about 6 or 7 players.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

SAS had a winning record versus Golden State last year.

In fact, they have dominated the Warriors like no other team, something like 57-10 in the last 67 game.

Tim Duncan has never lost a home regular season game to the Warriors (1997-2015)

I am not sure what that means, but the Spurs are not impressed because CLE beat GS twice.

 

[Clayton]

I am not sure what that means, but the Spurs are not impressed because CLE beat GS twice.

It probably means that if Tony Parker, Leonard and at least 2 of their bigs are healthy when the playoffs are around then no one is going to want to play the Spurs.

 

[ManuForever]

The clippers lost to the rockets who went on to lose to gs 4-1 lol

SAS lost to the clippers...

With literally 1 second left in the entire series. The Spurs were the ONLY team who could have slowed the Warriors down and they probably would have beaten the shit out of the Cavaliers too, to be honest. At full strength, they were the best team last year. Sadly, they were only at full strength for a VERY short period of time.

Lebron's not the only player to do that though. Kevin Love was brought to the team as well, amongst other players like Shump, JR Smith. The East is extremely weak.

How about we point out how one player has had such a significant impact on an organization that drafted him and stuck around from day 1. An organization that has won 50+ games over the last 20 years and has 5 NBA titles to their credit - Tim Duncan's that dude.

No one's questioning that Lebron's a great player. But if you want to continue to deep throat him, then that's your prerogative.
