So what's up with Cleveland and Lebron?

[Kingwillball]

This cleveland team reminds me a lot of the 2011 Miami team. They play very well at times but the consistency isn't there yet. However the huge potential is clearly visible. But I'm not sure how good they can get on the defensive end of the floor. They also lack size under the rim, just like Miami did. When they played OKC a couple of days ago this became very obvious. So I guess they will continue to get abused under the rim by a lot of teams.

Rebounding not a problem so not sure it's size but instead lack of interior defenders.

The 2011 team, even when it was finding its groove, always had elite perimeter defense. Like, the best in the league.

This Cavs team doesn't have that at all, and with weak interior defense, you're left with one crappy defensive team.

Funny how Love an Irving arnt good anymore now they are with Lebron, when half of the people on ish would name Love top 3 PF.

adding a great individual defensive player will not make a team instantly good at defending.

The team must learn how to defend as one unit.

Bosh and Irving were never considered superstars

Really? You went there?

I am glad that Kevin Garnett does not read ISH, especially with that first sentence.

I seem to recall the Celtics before KG arrived were ranked some where in the middle (16th/30) on their defense. They add KG and they were the #1 defensive team in that 07-08 Championship season. Just saying

1. Interior defense
2. Kyrie Irving never was & never will be a superstar, the guy is essentially a better Mo Williams with flashy handles, not a bad thing, but yea and i dont consider Love a superstar aswell.
3. The rest of the roster is basically what you would call "scrubs".
4. Chemistry, but thats normal for a new team/offense etc. playing their first games together.
5. Did i mention interior defense?

Thats what is going on.

kyrie not a superstar. Kyrie is a star with all the potential in the world to be a superstar.

The team has chemistry issues and issues on defense, that is it. At times they've looked bad but at others they've looked fantastic.


it takes time, team is basically bunch of new guys playing together.
chill out

Meh...They more than likely will still win 50+ games and have homecourt in the first round. No big deal.

Then explain this.

Seriously.

"But I'm a non biased, facts only fan"

Shut up bitch.
You get sonned daily on here, going back on your opinion and doing anything to try and hype Lebron.

This is comical. Pauk is the biggest idiot on this board.
