Cavs will be harder to beat this year with a healthy Love but not impossible. If not for the Warrior's pathetic defensive philosophy, they would have beaten them last year.

you need...

a lock down perimeter guard to lock down Irving.
an athletic big man that can contain Love and keep him off the boards and in foul trouble.
Sound team defense
Efficiency with offensive possessions

Cavs role players will only show up 2 or 3 games per 7 game series. The longer the Cavs are in the series, the probability of the Cavs winning goes up. Force role players into TO's to create more possessions and easy points. Keep Love off the boards or in foul trouble to help limit Cav possessions to "one and done." LeBron may get his but will choke in crunch time if he has to score in the dying moments. If your team is efficient, then LeBron will be a n non-factor as he will become frustrated and start turning over the ball OR the majority of his numbers will be in "garbage time."

90 points and sound D will be the Cavs..... The only coach that is competent to implement and pull off such a strategy is Gregg Popovich.

Try to outscore every team like Golden State!
