Hard to say what either guy is. They are both talented scorers that played on shitty teams with no veteran leadership and Mr Potato Head as their coach.

Was at the game last night and had a great time. I must say that those young guys FLOCK to LeBron. I was watching during a timeout, it looked like Kyrie was arguing with LeBron and Tristan (they weren't playing, so they weren't involved in the timeout). For about 8 seconds, Kyrie was very animated in what he was saying or doing with LeBron and Tristan looking back. I thought to myself, "here we go again... more drama with Kyrie." Then all three of them busted out laughing like it was all a big joke. I don't think LeBron could've come to this team at a better time. These guys are young "me" players, that's the way it is, but LeBron is one of the least selfish superstars on the planet, and he's going to show these guys that unselfishness is what it takes to be great. I'm certainly looking forward to this season, let's just hope we stay healthy and keep moving in the right direction. We definitely have the makings of something great.

I'm thinking that K Love leads the team in scoring this year. I understand that 2 preseason games means squat but damn, the guy can ball. Anyone out there missing Wiggins these days?

That was never the point FW. It was long term. In 3 yrs, where will Wiggins be? IMO he'll prob be a top 5 player. Love? Maybe a Cav, mayb e not. Maybe not healthy at all during his time here, as he's proven anything but durable.

Stop having short time vision based on 2 fucking Preseason games.

How much did he score in college? That's what really matters.

I'll count you in as another idiot that thinks the Wiggins for Love trade was a bad one. Andrew Wiggins can only dream of being as good as Kevin Love is right now.

He's horrible. The other guy is more professional but he gets annoying too.

Used to love AC...count me in as a neg on him now. Tired act. Exhibition game the other night and he was crying over the play. It's a friggin scrimmage. Over under on the Cavs win total is 58.5. Only injuries could stop this train from going over.

LeBron interviewed tonight and he was saying that the Bulls are wayyy better than the Cavs this year, Just stop it LeBron...just stop. On paper they don't come close to the Cavs. Vegas has the Cavs at plus 260 to win it all and the Bulls at plus 800 or so. Cavs are even money to make it to the finals and the Bulls are 4-1 dogs in making it that far.

Are you referring to this crappy article ESPN put out to get people to click and comment on it?
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11733821/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-says-chicago-bulls-better

If so...that is such a misleading statement it's a joke. He said they're much better just on their chemistry and that the Cavs need time to play together and gel. If he said something else then I apologize, but I love the way people make it out that he is sandbagging and putting his team down...when it was ESPN who spun it that way.

You're not the only one. Very misleading headline, but pretty much par for the course for espn.

Also FW is the same guy who started a thread bragging about the CAVS preseason record (the year Lebron left) and guaranteed a playoff spot. He is an idiot.

Austin Carr is the sole reason I watch Cavs games regularly (not a huge NBA fan, nor do I have a team I like to follow consistently). Dude is non-stop entertainment who can keep a mundane regular season interesting.
