Cavs won 51 games last year. Do you think they'll be worse?

its really hard to tell what the cavs will be. they have a ton of depth, but how do all these pieces fit ? this is going to be very interesting. they have got their work cut out for them for sure to try and make this a cohesive unit.... defensively i dont see how they can be any good. still have a 6'9 center that isnt very athletic, and kevin love in the frontcourt. IT,Rose,Wade,Shump,Calderon,Smith in the back court? the elite teams are going to feast :scust:

Y’all forget Korver had 25 minutes per game which helps with spacing but admittedly is a liability on defense. But they also still have crowder and shump for the time being.
So basically you have one shooter, and no defenders with a Rose, Wade and Korver lineup. Doesn't really push the Cavs in the direction they need to go in now does it? If I.T. comes back healthy, they'll most probably need to phase Rose or Wade out of the rotation. No point having two guards on the bench who can't shoot or defend - Shumpert's bordering on being one of those too.

He's really not. At least JR can stretch the floor and hit shots and play defense sporadically. Wade really can't do any of that.

Stretch the floor and hit shots? That nikka is streaky at best.

Wade can at least create his own shot. If Lebron struggled, the Kyrie had to step up, nobody else could. Now you have a guy in Wade, although old, can still create his own shot. JR Smith cannot create his own shot, nor hit shots consistently, and his defense stinks. Wade>Smith

Straight from Flatbush
Cavs added two guys who scored nearly 20ppg last year for peanuts.

Only on the coli is this a L

The coli will have you believing that Wade is Paul Pierce on the Celtics

And rose is Kevin Garnett on his second go around with Timberwolves

Defense when chips... they are worse defensively now.. Wade to old to be chasing folk around screens lol

I did say sporadically.

I hate to break it to you, but Wade is no longer that guy. This ain't '94 Joe, we can't go back. Smith is still a 1000x better shooter than Wade, and he's a better defender than Wade. Since Rose isn't capable of shooting/defending, they need the other guard to at least do ONE of those things, or even do both things at irregular intervals.

The coli dot com

JR Smith averaged 8 points on 34 percent shooting and launched 7 three's a game shooting at 35 percent in 30mpg

Dwayne Wade averaged 18 points in 30 mpg
Shooting 43 percent from the floor, getting to the line 5 times, almost two steals a game, almost 5 rebounds, almost 4 assists

But because jr Smith shoots from 3 four percent more

That's a massive ass upgrade.
These dudes think theyre high level basketball minds because they play 2k all day and watch the NBA channel :mjlol:
