    The cavs aren't even bothering playing defense. Love is an absolute zero when it comes to defense.

    wtf is Lebron doing on D the last few possessions. He's literally just walking around out there.

    SMH, what kind of defense is Lakers playing?

    They are better off of MDA because he is at least good at offense.

    The Cavs are surprisingly not very fun to watch.

    That weight loss hurt Lebron. Dude was already ripped and you mostly lost lean muscle which made you explosive. Bro science attacks again. " if im thinner i ryns faster". Weight loss is for fatasses.

    Isiah Thomas is such an inspiration. Short people too can make it in the NBA so long as they are hyper-elite calibre athletes :,)

    Love and Kyrie just don't have that championship mentality that Wade and Bosh have.

    They can get it...but it's going to take some failure to get, to learn the pain of defeat in playoffs. Every great team has to go through that.

    Takes time for all that talent to gel. The Heat were miserable to watch their first year too.

    Bosh had zero playoff success when he joined the Heat.

    People juyst have to understand it's a process in the regular season. How teams start in the first 20 games don't decide how the teams will enter the playoffs.

    Teams just have to pace themselves and improve throughout the season, and then kick it into another gear in the playoffs.

    The Cavs will be a much different team come March/April, although we won't know how great they can be till next season (just like the Heat took another level in their 2nd year together).

    But they should still be the favorites to get to the Finals.

    People are gonna complain about Kobe shooting too much or Lin turnovers or whatever, but the Lakers big problem is that their defense is just historically bad and don't have the personnel to get out of it.

    They don't run pick and pop with Irving/LeBron and Love.

    Irving is a one on one player, right now.

    Love isn't comfortable being a third option.

    LeBron can't do it all.

    Neither Irving or Love are too interested in defense.

    its gonna be a mess the next couple of weeks

    They're also facing playoff teams. That doesn't help either.
