It took 4 tries for Jordan to beat the Pistons.

Perhaps we can take down Lebron next year? :D

Even though the Cavs have Lebron..... its hard for me to compare the lineup of Hill Korver Smith and Love in terms of defence to.....

Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer.

What is LeBron, 3-8 in the finals? He went through a weak ass eastern conference for years. As a Bulls fan, I know if D-Rose and Noah were healthy, they kept a defensive LeBron stopper like Deng and Butler flourished, Chicago would have taken down the LeBron on the Cavs or on the Heat. LeBron gets away with a lot of charges and holds, and refs don't blow the whistle when he does something. End of the day, even if LeBron/Cavs swept Toronto, it's still the east semi's, Houston or GSW will DESTROY Cleveland...I know they will, LeBron will act like a bitch like he did in 2014 with his "cramps" that he had in the S.A series with Miami.

If Ray Allen didn't bail his ass out, LeBron would have been stuck on 2 titles, actually take another title away because Kyrie hit that game winner and Golden State gave up a 3-1 lead. LeBron chokes in the finals so I don't give a sh...it what he does with the Raptors and this is why guys like Magic and MJ will be a step above LeBron.

This Cavs team isn't good. The raptors just shrink

The knicks, pacers, magic teams etc would destroy this Cavs team

Difference is Jordan was a beast in those series. He kept it close but he didn't get over the top till Pippen and his supporting cast raised their level of play. We are like those teams that could never get past Jordan in the east.

I think the one team I would somewhat compare our team to is Dallas.

They kept grinding year after year & finally made it happen.

Not sure how this team gets there. Roster changes seem limited......it would be based on the young players getting a lot better I guess.

Or do we trade Demar kind of like how Detroit traded Grant Hill & press the reset button with a new grittier look?

Sure they did. But Dirk isn't MJ or Lebron. I'm not really sure what level you put him on in regards to primary scorers on a championship team. He was always a great shooter & one on one player, but a terrible defender. He's not on Tim Duncan or KG's level in my mind.

So, this soft ass, mental midget Raptors would not attack the rim with Lebron and no shot blockers, but you think they can hang with a team comprising of Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahon, Dennis Rodman, John Sally, John Edwards, Isiah Thomas....... cool story bro....
