Yeah but there's more talk of discourse now then when Irving was there, which wasn't supposed to happen. Plus now they have a PG who is easier to shut down in the postseason cause of his size. Last year in the playoffs Cleveland made Isiah look like the journeyman player he is and not the superstar he appeared to be in Boston. They're weaker and barring a huge trade I think this is the year a team in the East beats them in the playoffs.

There was plenty of discourse last year. The team was .500 team in their last 40 games last season. The year before - they fired their HC in January. Remember Lebron saying the team is top heavy? lol...this is nothing new.

Isaiah Thomas was injured in the playoffs last season...and he isn't close to being 100% right now. Ppl over-reacting to games played in December and January once again. He has played like 5 games since he came back...how can anyone judge him right now?

Warriors are better than everyone else. Everyone knew that before the season started. 99% chance that they win another title this season.

Thinkin Paul George should sign with Dubs too. Rings most important, and just like KD defenders, why would he not go somewhere and win? Makes sense right

They should sign Lebron and Cousins, too. Maybe trade for Anthony Davis and Westbrook, as well.

I think we would be fine with just bringing Anthony Davis in. lol Paul George couldnt crack the Dubs starting lineup.

I'm not judging Isiah right now dude. Take off your homer glasses for a minute. I know he's hurt now and was last year but you don't think he also struggled because of the defense Lebron and co put on him? His size is a huge disadvantage in the playoffs when teams are actually trying. I like IT a lot but come on, Kyrie is still the better player to have.

I think him aggravating his injury against the Cavs had a lot to do with him being completely ineffective against Cavs. He was playing great against Wizards and Wall is the best defender at PG position.

Is he a better player than Kyrie. No. Kyrie is better. I never said Isaiah is better. But, can Cavs beat Warriors with Kyrie? I don't think so - especially when Kyrie's attitude with Cavs was very different than his attitude currently with Celtics.

I think Cavs are a better team than last year. Bench is considerably better. Once Isaiah is fully healthy - I think Cavs will be the best team in East. Can they beat the Warriors? Nope. For that - Cavs need to make substantial moves.

I think the Cavs are worse. Kyrie is a top 5 talent IMO, second best PG in the league behind Curry. You lose a guy like that and your team is worse. In the Finals stars are a lot more important than how good your bench is. The bench shrinks.

Unfortunate that Boston is w/o Hayward. Maybe with him they could win a game or two against the Dubs in the finals. As is, the Dubs may lose a game out of boredom heading to the finals. Besides that, sweep city and a meaningless NBA season.

I love the fights in the NBA. Makes it better. Gimme old school Jordan Knicks. Y'all young millennials gets scared too easily
