Cavs WILL NOT win the Trophy this year !

Ok, I get you are a fan of "team ball". It appears this is no correlation that "team ball" wins championships (at least over the past 5 years):

"What about the hypothesis that teams who move the ball better offensively are more likely to reach the finals? It comes from the fact that Golden State and Atlanta are one and two in assist percentage and assist ratio (and two and three assist/turnover ratio), according to NBA.com.
In 2009-10, the Celtics were second in assist percentage, though the Lakers were middle of the pack in the league. The Mavericks led the league in assist percentage in 2010-11, though Miami was almost worst in the statistic.
The 2011-12 finalists finished 25th and 30th, making that season a poor season for ball movement among its finest teams.
The finalists in 2012-13 proved that moving the ball successfully for assisted made field goals was more important, as San Antonio finished third, Miami 13th. Finally, a season ago the champion Spurs finished fifth while Miami came in 13th.
Thus, we can say that a team?s sharing the ball for made field goals is of questionable importance, at least over the span of the last five seasons."

Not sure how this cavs team is not playing team ball. Lebron has to be the most willing passer ever and definitely moves the ball. I just laugh at all the vitriol for Lebron throughout his entire career. He has been under the microscope his entire life and has delivered spectacularly. Doesn't matter what conference he plays in. Just try to be even a bit objective.

As the teams are constructed now(injuries, etc.) I would say the Hawks are better than the Cavs with the Wizards and Cavs about the same...I don't know what to make of the Cavs(down 2 to 1 to Bulls til Gasol got hurt and still trying to figure out how the refs missed Blatt calling a timeout when he had ZERO timeouts with 4 seconds left:0008).. The Cavs have the best player by far in the Leastern Conference but their perimeter defense is pathetic, Irving is a great one on one player but is a terrible defender and passer, JR Smith:scared:shrug::scared...What I am hoping in the future is that Durant will sign with The Wizards to go with Wall and Beal to give the Cavs some competition in the future in the Leastern Conference.

U mean when the cavs were down 2-1 without love for series and smith for games 1 and 2 and lost game 3 on a bank prayer?

Come on man.

I said LeBron is a great passer but the rest of the team is suspect in that department...As far as the vitriol LeBron gets a lot of that he brought on himself with that stupid hour long decision show he did on ESPN when he left for Miami..:facepalm:..Even his hometown fans turned on him, burned his jerseys, the owner basically called him a traitoropcorn2....

So that is a "no". You are not saying the Wizards and Hawks are both better than the Cavs.

I'll clarify this for you ! HAWKS ARE BETTER THAN THE CAVS AND OWN THEM 3-1 THIS YEAR...

CAVS ARE BETTER THAN WASHINGTON.

WARRIORS ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO THE CAVS AND YES THE CLIPPERS AND ROCKETS ARE BOTH BETTER.

:0074

FYI...THE CAVS ARE NOT WINNING THE LARRY O'BRIEN TROPHY THIS YEAR !

Come on man.

We could go back and forth on these games....Bulls' fans could say in Game 4 that if the refs could see Blatt calling a timeout with 4 seconds left in a tie game when you have no timeouts :facepalm:James has no game winning shot,:0074 Bulls are up 3-1:shrug:

If Golden State does not win the championship this year I would be shocked. Golden State's average margin of victory was over 10 ppg this year...There have been 7 teams that have done this and 6 of those teams went on to win a championship. The only team to lose was the Bucks in the early 70s.

At least it will go a minimum six games. Longer than many thought.
