d30dhw1 | t1_d302ytg | t3_4ipxed | nba | notapreacherman | There's a reason the Cavs aren't good when LeBron isn't there, and that has a ton to do with their entire scheme revolving around LeBron, whereas Golden State's scheme is centered on movement. Kyrie + Irving should absolutely equal a 50-win team in the East. Honestly, it's pretty irritating that no matter who plays with LeBron, the argument is always that he has a shitty supporting cast. I think with the current Cavs roster, their failings while he is out have more to do with their dependence on LeBron instead of their actual talent-level.
Also, the LeBron adds more wins argument is really just a poor understanding of math. Let's say for argument's sake that the Cavs are a 45-win team without LeBron, and a 60-win team with him, and that the Warriors are a 55-win team without Steph and a 70-win team with him. The 15 wins LeBron adds in that scenario are not as valuable as the 15 wins that Steph adds. It is vastly more difficult to add 15 wins to a 55-win team than a 45-win team. | false | low | 42,982,181 |

Honestly, it's Toronto, and many of our fans will probably not forget this. In fact, I already had friends during the season this year saying, "Lowry's gonna choke in the playoffs again, don't worry." To which I would respond, "Have you seen him play this year? He's been clutch! He's turned it around!!"
:( :( :( :(
There's already a segment that is unconvinced.
Also, when Toronto fans had been hoping and praying for our first first-round series win in over a decade, I think they were hoping and praying for it to go WAY better than it did. I mean, we SCRAPED by PG13. Although we won the series, I think it was unconvincing, and left a bittersweet taste in the fans. If Lowry and Derozan could have put the first round behind them, and go back to their regular season selves for this series against Miami, then it would have changed things. But so far, it's been more of the same...
Geezus...many fans (at least not here in Toronto) are not going to forget how brutal Lowry and Derozan have been.
At least there's a decent chance that Lowry is injured. Even before Derozan's thumb yesterday, he has been pretty much an abomination :( | false | medium | 42,982,184 |

This year there were 4 (Cavs, Spurs, Thunder, Warriors). Just because the Warriors are the best regulr season of all one doesn't mean that he Cavs, Thunder, Spurs, and even Clippers are not title contenders if they were transported back in time to any of the previous 15 seasons.
Second, I would say that there are as many average to good teams this year as there have been in any season in recent memory. Just because they don't conpare to the top 4 or 5 teams doesn't mean that they aren't good. The league is as stacked now as it has ever been.
