Defense is horrible but they can be amazing on offense with K Love back. Will be interesting how he fits coming back

They can't rebound, when they won the title they were 3rd in the league in rebounding differential, this year they're 26th and trending down. A lot of that is Thompson being so trash this year, and they are a small team in general.

nikka average like 3 points and 5 rebounds :scust:.

What is he there for ?


I'm like nikka you can't even rebound fukk scoring u can't even rebound :damn:.

If LeBron somehow miracle'd this team into the Finals, they'd give up 130 a game to the Rockets or Warriors.

They were practically giving that much up last year and seem to be even worse this year. I looked at their box score the other night and I don’t think they even have a center on the roster still. They’re practically playing small forwards at center. Right now I’m not sure this team would beat his old pre Miami cavaliers teams. They’re 13th in pace but still 26th in points per game allowed. At the moment they’re scoring 1/5 of a point per game more than they have allowed on the season. I read something a few weeks ago that no team as bad on defense as they are even made the playoffs at all when being that bad on defense by mid season. We’re 75% of the way through the year. To put it in context, I think we can generally agree that he 2012-13 heat was the best team LeBron played on. They had an offensive rating of 112.3. This year’s cavaliers have a defensive rating of 111.8. They are so bad on defense that they nearly make every offense they play look like those heat :scust:. I’m not sure they’d be anywhere near the playoffs without James. Aside from him if you showed me a roster like this I’d assume it was a team like the kings or nets.

Yeah, they were, but it feels different this season. Toronto's A LOT better this year as well.
