I hope you're being sarcastic.
I think you're both wrong really. It's a good cast but not that good. Easily his worst team since first cavs stint.
*Bad bench
*Bad coach
*Do we bat 10 deep? Who knows lue won't let us find out
*Terrible defensivley across the board
*Kyrie, debatable if he's not 5 pg most say no but if we get last year playoff Kyrie id agree. He's not that in the reg season and he's injury prone and currently injury affected. Also borderline worst defender in the NBA
* love? I dunno I don't rate him at all. Little impact when it matters but top 5 may be fair. I could find 5 pfs id eaaily rather but maybe that's just me.
That seems crazy to me. The bench was pure garbage his first year back. Half those guys aren't even in the league anymore. We lost Delly & Mozgov from last year but picked up D. Will & Korver.
Same coach but he's running out of time to figure out what works with rotations.
Defense is sketchy but a lot of that seems to be an effort thing to me. I think we'll get caught slipping in one of these playoff games but I expect us to respond afterwards.
Kyrie is Kyrie. He's capable of having incredible offensive games against even good defenses. I don't know how you beat the Warriors with that The thing for me is with Kyrie is how Lue handles him. I've been encouraged that Lue isn't having him run the second unit as much this post season.
You and I really disagree about Love. No need to rehash.
Like i said I think it's a pretty good cast just very flawed because of one way players and bad defense. I actually think we are more talented than last year but injuries and just guys playing worse than last year have made us worse.
Delly was legit a big loss. I know he's sucked in Milwaukee but he brought it defensivley and had goat chemistry with bron and tt. Lebron playing with delly and the second unit was really great last year. Lue had something really good going now bench **** the beds and he hasn't found the right rotations all year.
Love can certainly still prove me wrong. I do like the guy.
Yeah accountability is a big problem with Kyrie. He's never put in his place or pulled for bad defense. Game 3 it was good to see him benched. Imagine if Lebron gel Kyrie as accountable as genies TT? You never see him go off at Kyrie even though he makes the not defensive mistakes and give less effort than anyone in the team. But from all reports Lebron and Kyrie really just ain't that close and had to really work on their relationship where as tt and bron get along pretty good.
