Lets say the cavs don’t make the NBA finals

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

IT hasn't even got in game shape yet

Unless he becomes an elite defender it doesnt matter.
Otherwise he will just be like Nick Van Exel when he played for the Mavs that year.

I still think they will make the finals regardless of regular season woes. Still yet to be seen if they make some trades, whether it’s for TT, IT, Love or the bk pick.

But who do you think gives the warriors the best series? Celtics or raptors? Now I don’t think either team or even cavs can beat the warriors barring any injuries. But who do you thinking can steal a game or maybe 2?

The Celtics always give the Warriors trouble. They basically split with them last few years.

I agree it sounds ridiculous

Do we know how many times Brady has lost in the AFC title game? No
But we know he lost 2 SBs

Same thing for Magic, Kobe , Bird, Peyton etc

6 finals losses would be huge for Lebron's legacy

And as a Lebron fan, this is unfair but reality

As a fellow Bron fan, when considering the hit on his legacy with another finals loss or ECF loss, maybe he should just retire after this year right?
How stupid does that sound breh. At this point Bron can not drop any further in GOAT rankings. He can potentially climb higher or some can overtake him but that's it.
Give back your Henny Bron membership card, you saying some wild stuff.

then we can claim the nba has parity again

nba aint never had parity.

The difference in defense between them and the dubs was already pretty big last year and really the main reason they lost. The gap got even bigger this offseason (load up on washed/injured players brehs), so if they do manage to make it to the finals, they are getting swept.

 

[DIMES]

This cavs team won’t make the finals

Yes they will

 

[High quality poster]

Yes they will

How fam?

Lebron wasn’t single handily carrying teams for the finals, there was always a Kyrie or a Wade and bosh, who’s the second option on this team? IT

Lebron is 33 years old fam, even in his early CLEVELAND days he would come up short because he had no second option. After Golden State runs em out the gym on Monday watch it all crumble

IT hasn't even got in game shape yet

Lets stop this shyt,regardless of what kinda shape hes in hes still 5'9" and will still be a problem defensively in the PnR when the games matter...

He was never going to be the same player for the Cavs that he was last year...

 

[Originalman]

Yes they will

breh I said when the season started these dudes would be a 6 or 7 seed and make it to the finals on some houston rockets run.

They are old, have a lot of new parts and are also mentally fatigued from the playoff runs. The regular season means nothing because everyone being healthy at the start of the playoffs means more than anything else.

And Kyrie isn't?

Half this board wouldn't know what to do with themselves if the Cavs didn't make the Finals. They might not even watch. Ratings would be the lowest they've been in years

This true as well. Lebron is the most important player in the league.

Reminds me how fans hate the Pats and Brady as well. But will watch whenever they are on tv.

 

[Kairi Irving]

I dig that but we gotta stop with that logic

Since when not make it to the final became better than make it to the final

Ignore him, Wizards aint ever making the finals lol


Celtics and Raptors would get culo blasted by Dubs in a Finals series
