The NBA has CHANGED

Back in the 90s, the Bulls had a few dominant players, and when I say dominant, I don't just mean on the court, but off the court, practice etc. That was MJ, Pippen, and coaching staff. Everything depended on them, and the rest of the players played their rolls, and the team simply outsmarted the entire NBA.
That was back then. Today the NBA market is different. Media, evolution of basketball, surges of talent, new ideas, etc has changed the game.
The Cavs seems to have a similar dynamic to the 90s Bulls, in terms that they rely so heavily on a few players to make plays but is that sustainable in today's NBA where any given team can score higher than 130 points on another team.
All it takes is for opponent to have a good game plan and simply feel good to beat another team. Back in 90s, it was so hard for a "inferior" team to beat a "superior" team. Today not really.
Without another goto player in the post, can the Cavs maintain this style of play for the remaining 45 games? The season is pretty long and some teams haven't even hit their strides yet.....
