Looks to be the same as last year except their offense off the bench is a little more potent with Deron Williams instead of Delly. Conversely, they lose some defense, but I still think old man Deron makes them better

PG is gone for sure. GSW could use him. They're a Paul George away from dynasty.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

Last two times he tried to ISO just looked clumsy and indecisive. He did it cause he felt he had to but slow and no real plan.

PG seems to be playing just enough to not have this be an embarrassment, but he has no interest in stretching this series out

Indy focusing on staying with the shooters making LeBron and Kyrie go one on one. It really hasn't been working.

That went out the window when they blew the 26 point lead in Game 3.

Miles has been a beast against the Cavs ever since we let him go.

Yea, he's not completely bowing out like 2010 LeBron against the Celtics. But he has no interest in winning this game.

LeBron's dominance over this team looks comical at times. They look like HS players with no chance.

The physical dominance reminds me of prime Shaq. Just unfair.

Even in series where LeBron dominated in the past, I never actually felt bad for the other team.
Swinging for the fences.

Still time left, but not expecting the Pacers to find new life right now. James will do what needs to be done to end this.

It's funny how people have gone from concern trolling about the Cavs' late-season slump to whining about their "easy" bracket. Maybe, just maybe, LeBron is too good for the seeding or which side of the bracket they're on to matter.

I think even though the this is the most vulnerable Lebron led team in years, they will still moonwalk to the finals.

All teams left In the playoffs are all severely flawed that I cant see anyone giving them serious problems. They might have issues with length of Bucks or the guard play of Raptors but ultimately the Cavs will just expose whatever weaknesses they have.
