As far as Warriors making LeBron beat them, with KD, Dray, Iggy, & now Matt Barnes d-ing him up all game, LeBron isn't going to have same effectiveness as Harrison Barnes guarding him at times.

I still to this day say Harrison Barnes's poor shooting and being shell shocked on D guarding LeBron is the reason they lost.

Harrison Barnes missed a lot of open shots and layups in games 5 and 7. Had he made 40% of his FGA, the Warriors would've closed it out in 5-6 games.

But missing Dray and having a hurt Iggy and Bogut was another major reason.
 
I really like the Cavs Andrew Bogut, Deron and Derrick Williams additions as sort of the "combative way to handle the Warriors & Durant addition" midseason. Derrick Williams is going to be playing minutes in like conference-final games, NBA Finals. It's going to be great no matter what happens.

The Hornets-Bucks-Knicks dipped off hard this year. Magic too, figuring this was a year where their young talent should start paying off and it hasn't completely, Payton esp. East has talent though.
 
The funny thing is KD went down and dudes were still saying GSW could still make the finals and win it all. If Bron gets hurt is anybody picking Cleveland?

Bron has a good squad but let's not pretend like they're even :lol: Let's try to be at leadt a little objective

This says more about how talented Lebron is than how much better GSW is though doesn't it?

Or do you really feel they aren't that even?

You make a good argument though. Hmm...

LeBron is literally a 1 of 1 type of player in the league. There's very few players that can have such an immediate impact on their team like Lebron. Just having him on your team makes you a contender over night.

The whole point is, having the cast Cleveland has and having LeBron puts them on another level.
 
Golden State's the favorite with me even complimenting what Cleveland's done in response (at the deadline). Don't think it's far and away a blowout by GS if all things are healthy, pretty even series that could go either way. CLE's depth is good now, I didn't even mention Korver earlier.
 
Let me give you a great example of how good Lebron is.

Today, Derrick Williams is a beast.

Ten days ago, he was a laughing stock.

He looks like he's back on the Tucson Campus handing out that work to College kids.

GSW was never the favorite because of KD in the first place though. So....This is kind of a moot point. Same way the Cavs are still a contender without Myrie or Love

Great pickup by the Bucks with Jones.

Must really have a bad rep around the league though considering what's happened with him.
