Can we all agree?

LeBron will take this team out, this is still his conference until someone can send him packin'. He's a better player this year than he was last year, and the Cavs are better as a team IMO.

You don't create a champion in one offseason.

Not these days.

The Celtics are better than any team that Cleveland faced last year throughout the playoffs. "Maybe" even better than the Spurs.

Lebron is not the cure for everything.

Do the Cavs have enough offensive fire power to beat the Celtics? With the Celtics having such good defensive rotations and stifle teams on the perimeter I don't see how the Cavs would have much success against them in the playoffs. Don't get me wrong the Cavs are good but there isn't anyone on that team who can get you 15+ consistently besides James.

Let's set this straight No Cleveland could would not be able to beat the Celtics. I really think Detroit is very underrated by a lot of people no one really talks about them but they are the ONLY team in the east that has a bigger chance of stopping Boston's parade. I still think that Boston could win the Eastern Conference, but i think that teams like San Antonio have way too much experience for them to lose in the finals assuming they go there in the first place. If a new team faces Boston in the finals it would be an interesting series to see if Boston has really got it in them.

Let me get this straight. The Celtics, the best team in the league, would lose to an experienced team in the finals. However, said experienced team has a chance to lose to an inferior inexperienced team in its own conference in which case the Celtics could beat the inferior team in the finals?

Lakers when Bynum, Gasol and Ariza are back will be comparable defensively, with more offense than the Celtics. However, it may happen too late for them to gel this season.

Love to see that Finals though :clap:

what about the 3/4 of the team that WAS new that year?? Posey, Toine, JWill. . .nah, they didnt matter did they

Not really. The heat won because they took a year to adjust to Shaq. THey go from game 7 to winning the NBA finals and you want me to praise Jwill up and down?
