    I'm not a big LeBron fan either, but the 76ers beat the Heat on opening night last year. Who gives a shit about early season NBA games? They are meaningless.

    The Cavs will be good, but it will take time. They might win the dreckfest East, but they are overrated. It doesn't take much digging to see that they have issues. Nobody on that team plays defense besides Varejao and LeBron when he wants to (25% of the time). Love and Irving have never played a playoff game. The veterans they added are all just about done (Marion, Miller, Ray Allen).

    Before coming to Miami, Chris Bosh averaged 24 and 10 in Toronto and was a better defender than Love. I'm not completely sold on Love. He might be a huge stats on a shitty team kind of guy. His rebounding is great but he sucks on defense and will be the third option on offense. It's a huge role change. Wade in 10-11 was a lot better and more tested than Irving. This Cavs team isn't as good as 10-11 Miami team and the teams in the West are better than in 2011.

    I stand by this. The trades really, really helped Cleveland. I still think the Warriors win rather easily, say 4-1.

    Love's whole season proved he was more or less a huge numbers on a shitty team guy. They have been just fine without him.

    Their defense was terrible before getting Mozgov, Shumpert, and Smith.

    Or it's impossible for three players to put up big numbers on one team.

    If only there was some precedent of Lebron playing with another big numbers power forward and that power forwards numbers immediately going way down.

    They've been able to get through the shitty East without love. Big fucking deal.
