Which proves my point even more. Cavs were able to impose their will and beat us with a more physical style from their backups. They would've beat us with a healthy Kyrie & Love in a more finesse style as well. My whole point with the injuries is that both teams had injuries that changed how we played that series but they were able to adapt and we weren't. Their were many things that beat us in that series but them being more physical was something that stood out to me and this team as currently constructed is not built to beat a physical CLE team in a 7 game series

If both teams were fully healthy, that series goes at least 6.

We have upgraded our roster from last year and they have not.

They are NOT a physical team with Kyrie and Love on the court for the majority of the minutes at their positions. Williams isn't as physical as Delle at their backup PG spot either.

They were able to "adapt" better than us because they don't play team ball the way we do. There's no "adapting" to 5 of your top 7 players being injured/out when you're an actual team that works as one machine.

I can understand the media and fans at large simply looking at the final scores and counting us out, but it's a cotdamn shame when we do it to ourselves.

Thank you. What are we missing? We play great as a team when we're healthy. If we are healthy, we can beat anyone.

The cavs are not invincible guys. We are built to beat a team like that, it just so happened a lot of key guys were missing..

Honestly all we have to do is get to the playoffs. Nobody is taking us out in 7. Maybe both clubs stay healthy, maybe they dont. Im not going through this season with a defeatist attitude. We dont need a melo to get this done. That experience was a good thing for the team
