A Banged Up Kyrie, Thompson, Mozgov, and Knicks Castaways...
Are going to the NBA Finals.
I still think people haven't fully grasped this fact.

Meh...look at the opposition he played. It's like 2007 all over again. This year he played an extremely overrated Bulls team that couldn't even score if they were guarded by pylons. Now they're playing a team without a superstar, who is the worst 60+ win #1 seed of all-time. Nothing to be too impressed with. If he wins the title that's another thing, but Cleveland would lose to probably 4-5 teams in the West.

The West doesn't look all that dominate. The Warriors are toying with their so called "contenders". I've yet to be impressed by the teams in the West, other than the Warriors.

The role guys are stepping up in a big way though. If it wasn't for that this team wouldn't be much different than the 2009/2010 Cavs.
Though now Lebron is a far better leader than he was when he first left Cleveland, and he truly does seem to be making everyone better. Mozgov, Kyrie, and Shumpert have all played the best ball of their careers with Lebron. JR doesn't get the volume of shots that he used to on shittier teams but he's more effective overall than he's ever been.

GSW, SA, LAC, and Memphis would all beat Cleveland in a best of 7 series.

And you know this how? As I recall, during the regular season, LeBron manhandled the Warriors, and the Warriors are easily the best team currently in the West.

you mean the Cavs without Kyrie and Love?
Cause pre-playoffs Cavs looked like title favorites.

Bulls should've come out of the East, but too beta.

This point is so underrated. A supporting cast is all about how they actually perform, not their names. In 2010, LeBron had Antwan Jamison, Shaq, Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, and Zydrunas. For all intents and purposes, that's a supporting cast that's very solid, and would get you to the finals. But they played poorly, and eventually so did LeBron.
This team, has players like Shumpert, Mozgov (best known for getting dunked on by rookie Griffin), Tristan Thompson, and Dellavedova. Mostly players no one gave a second though before these playoffs. Thing is though, they're playing really well, so it doesn't matter. LeBron's supporting cast so far this playoffs has been much better than his supporting cast last year, and he had both Wade and Bosh. This team plays much better defense, gets on the boards, and make jumpers to spread the floor. It's not by the names, it's by the impact.
