Is the Current Cavs Team Less Love better than 2014 Heat Team?

[ALBballer]

I still think this current Cavs team without Love is much more talented than last years Heat team. Irving at this stage of his career is better than Wade and although Bosh is better than anyone other than Irving on the current Cavs team, this current Cavs team is much deeper with Mozgov, Tristian Thompson, Shumpert and Smith.

This team is not really shorthanded by any means. No excuse why they can't win the championship.

this team might have more talent (probably not, chris bosh is really underrated) but definitely doesnt have as much chemistry.

those heat teams played really well together, keeping the ball moving, and on defense swarming the pick and roll, and playing well together.

maybe in a year or two, with good coaching, this cavs team could be as good as those heat teams.

people forget, it takes time to build chemistry, just like it did in miami, its going to take time in cleveland too.

the same Heat team that got blown out by the Spurs last june?


without a doubt and i don't think it's close

If the Cavs started this season with their current team(Love, not injured) they would be competing with Golden
State for the best record in the league

i don't really care much for the Cavs or Lebron but this team is incredibly stacked

2014 Heat team wasn't even good. They had no chance of winning the championship.

Hell no.

Bosh>>Mozgov
Battier<Thompson
LeBron=LeBron
Wade>JR Smith
Chalmers<<Irving

Bench: Birdman/Haslem/Lewis/Beasley/Ray Allen/Norris Cole>>Perkins/Marion/Jones/Miller/Shumpert/Dellavadova

Spoelstra>>Rookie Coach

Last year's team was easily better on talent alone. Than you add things like chemistry, coaching....it's not that close.

Sure chemistry is in their favor but last years Heat team did not have any bigman to rebound and protect the paint, Battier and Allen looked old and I'm not even sure if Chalmers/Cole are better than Dellavedova it's probably a wash.

This current Cavs team is as talented as almost any team in the league and aside from GSW they are just as deep as any team. They have guards in Shumpert and Smith that can defend and shoot, they have a PG that is almost ideal to have next to LBJ James in Irving, they have a rim protector in Mozgov, a big in Thompson that would start on many teams and quality vets in Jones, Miller, Marion and Perkin that have playoff experience.

Team is far front shorthanded that the media and Lebron is trying to portray.

LOL. You can't be taken seriously after this.

Deep?? . Cleveland, even before Love's injury, was known for having one of the weakest benches in the league. Now, they only have 1 player off the bench that you could say is a decent player - Shumpert. Everyone else is awful. Dellavodva is the worst back-up PG in the league. Perkins should've been out of the NBA years ago. Jones is liabiltiy in every way if his 3 ball isn't falling. Miller and Marion are ancient and don't even get playing time.

[Fudge]

Most talented team LeBron's ever had in the LAND.

No excuses to get 'er done. NONE.

[Solefade]

Yes, talent wise but they don't have the same continuity and chemistry or system
