Sorry Crowder.When you play on a team with superstars,there is a pecking order.The best teams usually have the same top 3-4 scorers every game.

Is it just me or are the Cavs being overrated all of a sudden??

I mean it's true that now they're gonna be a problem for the east and have a higher chance of making the finals than before, but any of the top 4 team in the west can beat them in a 7 game series..I would definitely pick warriors, rockets, OKC, and the Spurs over them .

I think most Cavs fans are happy that they got younger and more talented without giving up the nets pick...GS/Hou are still the favorites.However.Cleveland is more versatile than they were prior to the trades,and no longer have a defensive liability at PG.

I'm not sure if they're being overrated but I think the talking point about them being younger is a bit overstated. They did get younger but I'm not sure if they're really better. I see the talent with all four players they have but those dudes are marginal/role players at best. It may be good enough to get out of the East but that's where it might stop.

The top 8 in the West would run them out of the gym.

Marginal/role players is basically what Houston has as well. Harden & Cp3 compared to LeBron and Love. And if Melo is to be honest with himself he's a role player at this stage too.
