The Official Cleveland Cavaliers thread
whoisthis:
--- Quote from: M Dogg™ on August 26, 2014, 05:20:56 PM ---Actually I do. Lakers have a better bench than the Cavs.
--- End quote ---
Starters:
Irving >>>>>> Lin
Waiters <<<< Kobe
James >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Young
Love >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Randle
Varejao > Hill
Bench:
Lucas < Nash/Clarkson
Dellavedova < Henry
Marion/Miller >>>>>> Wes Johnson
Thompson <<<<< Davis/Boozer/Kelly
Haywood < Sacre
So, you're right, the bench for Cleveland has some big holes, but Thompson, Miller and Marion are solid pieces on that bench. The starting line up alone though is good enough to put them into the top half of the playoff brackets. If LeBron won 61 games with Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, JJ Hickson (or Jamison later in the season) and Shaq as his fellow starters, how could you even question that this team couldn't even get to .500? Are you crazy? Do you even watch basketball? I get that people hate LeBron. I get it. I think it's ridiculous, but I get it. But, all that hate for a man can't possibly leave you that blind, can it?

LeBron's probably my least favorite player in the league but I agree with most of the points you made. Also, as far as their bench goes, isn't there still a chance that Allen's gonna follow LeBron to Cleveland?
M Dogg™:
You can check with most Laker fans here, I have been the most pro-LeBron person here. But let's not get carried away. The Cavs are a young team with a lot of unproven starters, only LeBron and Varejo have been to the playoffs or played for a team with a winning record, and the bench had lots of holes. This team has a long way to before we start saying it's a championship team, let's see Love, Irving and Waiters in the playoffs first.

Look for OKC, the Clippers and the Spurs to all have better years than Cleveland.

not with the Cavs in the east

Really? Because the Cavs record was so good, or Miami with a better roster than the Spurs.
