    Lovable underdog team on the rise to full blown New York Yankees status

    Don't deflect the situation

    No excuses for OKC

    Championship or Durant goes 0-5 with the most stacked team in the league

    Unlike most of these so-called 'super teams,' the Cavs' core players are mainly comprised of guys they actually drafted. In fact, of the likely starting five, four will be guys drafted by the Cavs... Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Dion Waiters and Anderson Varejao (Andy was traded to Cavs just after the draft).

    The only really huge piece who was not originally a Cavalier is obviously Kevin Love... and we had to give up plenty to get him, unlike a lot of star moves over the last few years.

    The rotation guys who have joined like Mike Miller, Shawn Marion and James Jones are obviously nice to have, but I would hardly consider them the kind of guys who turn a borderline playoff team into a championship roster.

    I'll enjoy the games with OKC. Great matchups, all the way around.


    Kyrie vs. Russ
    LeBron vs. KD
    Love vs. Ibaka
    Waiters vs. Jackson

    Weird how it all works out like that with our top 4 all being the same position

    He needs to worry about Brian Hoyer.

    I will say that the city's sports fortunes have done a relative 180 since he was drafted. Weird.

    i cant remember who said it, but we went from discussing if we should take zach lavine or doug mcdermott with our presumed #9 pick, then a few weeks later, to wondering if kevin love would be a better partner for lebron than wiggins

    crazy stuff

    If Durants 0-5 that makes Lebron like 2-12 or something right
    -5 > -10

    It's not the rest of the superteams' fault that the NBA didn't rig them into four first overall picks and two additional top five picks....
