Warriors and Cavaliers overrated? Hmm

I haven't read the other pages in this thread so I might be repeating a few things.

In simple terms, the Cavs are built quite well to achieve what they need to. Enough veterans that can play some defense and compliment Lebron. It's probably the best way to surround him except it would be better if there was one other solid complimentary player, the way Kobe now has Gasol. That would elevate them yet again, but what they're doing is working, and that's the bottom line.

The Warriors are one of those streaky teams that when they're on they're scary. They can light it up against anyone when they are on a roll. But there's so much inconsistencies that unless they get hot they don't have the ability to fall back and rely on their defense to keep them in games. It might have been a bit different if Biedrens was healthy all season.

Warriors overrated? Some people predicted right after the Warriors traded away Richardson they would be lucky to win 40 games.

don't clump the dubbs in with the cavs. It seems cav fans overrate their team while everyone else knows that the cavs were lucky to be in the finals last year. Warriors are right where they should be. Scary but also suspect.

heres what espn.com thought about the cavs in the preseason

seems like we are right where they predicted us at

heres a gm survey on nba.com

clearly the bulls and the heat should be considered more overrated than the cavs because the cavs are right where everyone thought theyd be

Orlando was massively under rated.
