I don't get the Chicago hype. They have a big "if" with DRose and if he can be the player he was and not get injured for a whole season. I don't think adding an old Gasoline add much to them. I know Noah had a great season last year but I don't expect him to repeat that with DRose and Gasol there.

Whoever survives the west though will give the Cavs a run for their money.

If it's the Spurs, OKC is not built to win a title imo, nor are the LAC. None of those other teams are a title threat imo.

Agreed. Chicago sucks. The only team that can beat the Cavs in a 7 game series is the Spurs.

Pretty much. His maturation, since he left, has been quite impressive.

Probably 2 weeks behind but the newest issue of ESPN gives almost 1/2 the magazine to the city of Cleveland. A lot of it is heartbreak and they even do a sweet 16 of Cleveland woes over the years. I don't believe the Decision was bigger than the move. Surprised game 7 in 1997 wasn't higher.

90% of the issue is Jeter and then Cleveland

Kevin Love was beastly in the Miami game. This team scares me. Wade, Bosh and LBJ a lot< than LBJ, Unc. Drew and Love. The offensive board work with Andy and Thompson much > than whatever Miami threw in there. Still don't like Waiters, never will. James Jones, Marion, and whoever make up a solid bench.If the team wanted to, they could win 70 games in the regular season, but I doubt if there mindset and interest level will allow that. Also, rumor is that LBJ will only play 38 minutes or so in order to keep him fresh in late spring. early May. Probably a good idea.Barring injuries, there just is no reason for this team not to snip down the nets next June.

He's averaged 38 minutes a game for the past six or seven seasons but plus keep us updated on your insider knowledge.

He averaged well over 40 minutes a game when he played in Cleveland. Career? 39.5 minutes. You're an idiot. If you don't like my analyses, then don't read them.

If you watched the game in rio, not sure how you cant add Dion to the scariness of this team(in a good way). He played great and also played some great defense on wade.

Who cares how many minutes a game he averaged in Cleveland years ago? He hasn't averaged >40 since the '07-'08 season. So fuck off with your "rumors" that he's going to keep playing the same MPG he has for the past six seasons. "Rumor has it Lebron will score points and grab rebounds this season." /Footwedge'd
I'm not use to reading your daily dumbass posts like the Browns fans are, so I'll try harder to ignore your "analyses" (lol at calling it that). Not enough hours in the day to remind you and Tiernan how big of morons you are.

You think he is bad? Wait until the cavs lose their first game and IQQY comes on here to spew BS about how the Cavs shit the bed in the offseason.

Dion cares about winning too much for Footwedge to like him. Foot loves guys who like them some of them.

Waiters did play well in that game. I just don't like the guy. Every time I see him I watch him take bad shots and he's not very team oriented. Maybe he'll adapt to his role as being a bench player and on the side LBJ knocks some sense into him.

Waiters is the last guy on this team in the category of wanting to win too much. There's a reason why Irving can't stand the guy.

So glad the Cavs got K-Love. Got a little taste of some of what he brings to the table with that long outlet pass to Marion. This should be fun.
