Yeah....I felt MUCH worse in 07 because LeBron literally had no one else to grow with going into the next season.

This isn't doom and gloom to me.

I expect those crazy rumors.

But I realistically expect them to bring Love, Moz, Shump, JR, Delly, and TT back. I expect Blatt and his staff to still be there.

I expect them to get that 2nd/3rd point guard....use the Haywood contract to get a wing or another center and to draft someone with high upside like Wright, RHJ, Anderson, or Upshaw depending on need.

They exceeded my personal expectations by getting to this point with no Love and a hobbled Kyrie relatively easily in the first season.

I agree. I believe the most important thing besides bringing the big men back is to get some young wings that can run with Lebron. Folks think James is inhuman but the man gets tired and this team is absolutely horrible in getting him easy buckets in the open court. One thing about the heat was that cole, wade and even Chalmers always got Lebron easy points on the break and open court.

Besides the offense not being fully installed this is one of the biggest reasons Lebron gets tired in the 4th and his efficiency is down. Dude just has to work too hard for points.

They have young wings that can run. LeBron just needs an actual back-up that can reduce his minutes.

They don't push the pace by design. Love being out is another reason why fast breaks are limited because his outlet passing is missed.

None of the bigs on the roster can get a rebound and push the ball up the court.

Outside of curry I don't trust any of those dudes in the open court with the ball. Those wings like JR and Shumpert can run but they don't have the decision making or ball handling skills in the open court that Cole and wade had or have.

Depends on kyrie but if he's noticeably worse in game 2 then this series is over...

I mean anything can happen and if we win this next one I'll keep what little hope I have alive but if we don't this series is over

Y'all talking like it's over

I see the signs, but I'm not talking about next season until this season is done, and historically, LeBron has lost every game 1 of every Finals he has been in. Do I think the Warriors are a deeper team? Yes. I'll say it again: There's something special happening in Cleveland. This is unlike the past Finals when we were happy to be there. I believe that we will win like those USA soccer chants. I just came from Danny's and Slyman's and everybody just knows that it's happening this year. Can't explain it but I'm going to enjoy the shyt out of this journey for however long it lasts

This is when having kyrie playing hurt and k love not being here is seriously costing us. It's not like our performance last night can't be replicated but that's a game we should've taken. The only thing we didn't have was our 3 point shooting sucked by everyone except LeBron and kyrie in the second half. That can't happen again

If we lose game 2 all is not lost but our chances of winning at that point is proly less then 20%
