Spurs completely destroy the Cavs tonight 103-74. Boston is now the #1 seed in the East. Cavs are 8-10 since the AS break and seem to be in a spiral. Is this the year someone other than LeBron wins the East?

#2. LeBron and the Cavs couldn't give a shit about regular season games. They could finish 8th and it wouldn't affect how they do in the playoffs. |

That being said... I was always a big supporter of Blatt and wonder how much of this is coaching. I wonder if Lue got the Romeo rebound effect (Romeo couldn't discipline players worth a shit, but he did extremely well that half-year where Haley handed off a disciplined roster to him). The Cavs don't hustle and lack the toughness I saw under Blatt. And isn't it interesting that while Blatt pushed for defensive presences like Mozgov and Shumpert... since Lue took over they traded for soft defensive players who can shoot 3's like Channing Frye and Kyle Korver, and gave away Delly and Mozgov. But you just never know. Cavs could turn into a totally different team in the playoffs. If they play like they are playing now, Stevens' team is going to bruise the living hell out of them. |

This is the same discussion that goes on with LeBron's teams in the regular season every year. When will everyone learn these games just don't matter to them (and most importantly, to him)? They're certainly at no risk of losing to a bunch of try-hards in Boston once the real games start.

But I think the supporting cast has real problems they didn't in years past. Lue consciously made the decision to go with undersized guys who can shoot. And now they have some very real problems down low unless Sanders plays well coming back from the grave. While Lebron hit another gear in the playoffs, they also did well because the supporting cast hit another hustling/toughness gear. I just don't see that happening this year. I think Lebron has to kick it up 2 notches to carry this team. But they'll probably make it out of the East because it's the East. |

The uncomfortable reality that is a fading LeBron James.

And have you watched the Cavs lately? This isn't their normal coasting to the playoffs. They're legitimately bad and Lue literally has no idea what he's doing. I don't think they'll make the finals unless they step it up majorly in the finals. Posted via Mobile Device |
