:yep: he once dragged a crappy ass Cleveland team to the Finals before, in 2007, when the East was probably equally as pathetic.
This is why I had them above us even without Love. Kyrie alone is better than any other teammate he had in Cleveland the first go around. Kevin Love probably makes them title favorites.

Eh, I don't see that team beating the Spurs still.

I guess that's fair. Spurs still have depth for days. Cavs won't have quite as much after getting Love.

Even without Lance, don't count out the Pacers. I only see Paul George getting better on that team.

This is true, but they still don't really have any kind of depth on that team. That's going to hurt them in the playoffs.

Yea,lack of depth is going to hurt them. Evan Turner would have really helped if he hadn't faded into the woodwork. They need him to step up, but I think the key for them is Hibbert. If he has 2 pt,3 rb games or whatever garbage he's throwing around, they're not getting far at all.

Agreed. Hibbert's performance in the playoffs last year was extremely disappointing. Idk how he can go games grabbing 0 rebounds. That is just unacceptable.

Pacers traded Lance for CJ Miles. The rest of the depth is still the same, as far as I remember. I think Miles will be a better floor spacer for them and probably a better team fit. The real question with the Pacers is if Hibbert can over whatever is ailing him. The rumors is Paul George fucked his woman. If that is true, Paul George has to be the stupidest person in the NBA, and that is saying something. How are you going destroy the chemistry of your team down the stretch of a championship run, just for a lay.

If that is true the Pacers may not recover, ever.

Paul George needed to quench his thirst, apparently.

Miles may space the floor better, but he's not a shot creator and not as good a defender. It's still a step down. And the Pacers bench gave them nothing in the playoffs last year (surprising, given then have Watson and Scola who should be be contributors) so there's not much reason to expect a difference there.

Pacers are now a 2nd round team at best.

Back to the trade for a second...Wiggins, Bennett, and a 1st. Is that seriously it? No Waiters? Not multiple picks? What happened to the greedy Timberwolves? Did Cleveland finally realize that once they included Wiggins they blew every other offer out of the water and decreased their offer once everyone else gave up?

I'm not worried about the Pacers if Rose stays healthy. Rose is the Pacer killer. They don't have anyone that can check Rose.

Well, it's not gonna get easier for Hibbert to rebound facing a rotation of Pau, Noah, Taj, and Niko.

Or did Love ruin their negotiating ability by coming out and demanding trade to Cleveland? Just another player that wants to hook up with LJ and do it the easy way. Welcome to the NBA today. :smh: I look forward to kicking his ass!

Is that a testament to Lebron's greatness or are you putting down Love for not wanting to come to Chicago? If you wanted Melo to come to town, than this statement is hypocritical.
