Kyrie lost

I don't see how you could argue that the problem with the Cavs defensive struggles were merely coaching related, and yet not expect to see an across-the-board improvement on the defense of every traded player.
It would also figure that the current crop of new Cavaliers would see a regression in their defensive output.
I'm certain you're going to argue it's of no consequence...basically to deny that premise, though.
We all know your M.O. here.

The rating of that previous roster was always contingent upon how IT looked coming back from that hip injury.
He looked like basura and that was rightfully factored into how that roster should have been viewed.

It wasn't just coach-related (in terms of game-planning/system), but it was effort-related as well, from the top of the roster down to the bottom. The problem with expecting to see an "across-the-board improvement" on defense to prove the fact, is that those players could go to equal or worse environments that don't put any emphasis on effort or strategy when it comes to defense. There are many factors when you look at defensive metrics where you can't just draw a direct and specific conclusion, especially for players who aren't defensive anchors.
Like I said, I don't think you understand how this works.
Nah, because again, it wouldn't be weighed against the same teammates, lineups and opposition played. Neither would it take into account players like LeBron and TT showing minimal effort on defense prior to these moves, to showing A LOT more effort on defense post-these moves. Anyone that's objective and has watched a genuine amount of Cavs games would tell you that there's been a change in some of their players' defensive efforts in wake of these trade moves.
I think it's probably best if you stop talking about hoops, altogether.I'm certain you're going to argue it's of no consequence...basically to deny that premise, though.

nikkas forgot the Cavs got smacked up last time they played?
"Ol that's different" ass nikkas
nikkas done forgot that the Cavs been getting slapped around since the turn of the year.
These nikkas never seize to amaze me. Cavs string together some good wins and nikkas acting stupid.

Nah, because again, it wouldn't be weighed against the same teammates, lineups and opposition played. Neither would it take into account players like LeBron and TT actively not playing defense prior to these moves, to showing more effort on defense post-these moves. Anyone that's objective and has watched a genuine amount of Cavs games would tell you that there's been a change in some of their players' defensive efforts in wake of these trade moves.

Except that the Cavs had/have the worst defensive ratings in the league.
Once again the only premise that matters is the only one that Gil Scott Heroin says matters.
We know how you function bro.

Emotionally he's about 12 years old for the rest of his life. Great at counting toothpicks, though.
You really in your feelings breh.
Grow up.
Gil Scott already laying the groundwork for when Bron eliminates Kyrie.
Been talking shyt for months but is suddenly copping pre-emptive pleas now that he sees the writing on the wall.
Cavs are suddenly the 96 Bulls because rhey acquired a bunch of bench players & George Hill.

I've made these posts over the past few months, long before the Cavs made any trades:
I expect the Cavs to beat the Celtics if they matchup in the playoffs. It still doesn't take away from the fact that what you wrote was trash.
I wouldn't even be surprised if this Celtics squad lost in the first round.
*puts hand up*
Raptors have the best overall team in the East.
I find it hilarious since YOU know I've spoken multiple times on how the loss of Hayward and the youth of this Celtics team will be obstacles that they won't be able to overcome, because YOU called me out on it. And now you're accusing me of the very opposite. Make up your cotdamn mind and stick to your story.
