That`s because no Love or Irving.
With Love and Irving they are probably better then the Heat teams in the past.
Kid no way Love or Irving is better than a seasoned Wade or Bosh....No fucking way.
Irving is average on defense and Love plays NONE at all...
Lebron was out of gas in OT.
The Cavs are playing their best ball of the year since Love went out....That has meant more minutes for Thompson and Mozgov...They are definitely a MUCH MUCH better team defensively without Love.
The real JR Smith played tonight, not the one who torched the Hawks.:mj07::toast:
With a healthy Love and Irving means LeBron don`t have to score 44 to try and win the game.
If you think this piece of shit Cavs team that is made up of role players is better without Love and a healthy Irving your crazy.
This is not the regular season or the 1st,2nd and 3rd rounds of the playoffs.
This is the Finals.....1 man show won`t cut it for the Cavs.
Who would you rather have shooting the ball......JR Smith or Kevin Love.
Enough said
My word.
The only thing we have "proof" of last night is the Cavs went to a team that was 46-3 at home this year and controlled the game for most of the game and just didn't convert the last second shot and then couldn't get a bucket in OT. That stuff happens. Cavs had a shot at the outright which is all you are looking for in a road playoff game, never mind a roadie at a squad that was 46-3. If you had GS last night, it was a luckbox win, and those things happen.
To draw all sorts of asinine conclusions based on what amounts to a handful of possessions in essentially a dead even game goes beyond the confines of normal reason.
And to say Lebron "needed" Wade and Bosh ignores the fact that Wade and Bosh "needed" Lebron. Its a team game. You put Lebron on any roster in the NBA and they are instantly a top contender if not the top contender.
Your assertions are so forceful and ignore so many subtleties it is hard to tell if you actually mean them, are too emotional to think clearly, or are just looking for a rise out of others. I would hope its the latter.
