Mike Miller - Averaged 11 ppg and 4 apg while shooting 48% from 3 last year
Z - played significant minutes on the best team in the regular season last year
Haslem - was the starting PF on a championship team and is a great role player
House - key player off the bench for the NBA runner ups last year

Add in Anthony, Arroyo, Chalmers, Jones and Magloire and the others are not really that bad.

Not great by any means, but definitely serviceable.

z played significantly? Mike Miller is out for a while.Haslem was a role player surrounded by all stars. House was traded to the Knicks mid season. Do you even watch the games?

I should have clarified the Z comment. He played meaninful minutes, in significance. I know he didn't play a majority of minutes.

Mike Miller will be back.

You proved my point about Haslem.

I got House confused with Robinson. House was a spark the previous year though.

You can't talk about a team without one of them best players. Why would anyone assume someone is going to get hurt?

Because Dwade always seems to be hurt.

I see. So now that Z doesn't play for the Cavs he is a serviceable player? Makes plenty of sense when you think in terms of your logic.

He's not good by any means, but he's exactly what this team needs. A guy who can stand on the baseline and knock down shots. The Big 3 will command so much attention a guy like Z becomes that much more valuable because he keeps a defender occupied.

Now the defensive end is a different story.

I don't believe they are overrated. I don't see them being a record setting team but they should be pretty good.

Not hardly. The only weak spot is the C position. Every where else they are built with some nice role players who "get it".

If one of them get hurt, they'll still be fine. Let's not forget Lebron won 61 games last year with a very modest starting cast. Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, and Anderson Varejao OR D-wade/Bosh, Mike Miller, and Udonis Haslem? At the very least they will win 5 more games than Cleveland did last year. At the very least

68 in the regular season?
I'd say under 67
