the Cavs are a little bit more balanced, but still inconsistent, esp. on defense. LeBron can erase a lot, but he can't erase the fundamentals.

agendas aside, you run with that kind of team and you lose a key component, you're sunk in the end. that's why the Heatles really ended. Wade was falling off. Heat played way better defense than LeBron Cavs 2.0 but that team really needed all 3 of the core players to eat da poo poo to win in the playoffs. same with the Cavs.


in any case, the days of Cavs series sweeps are over. it's always gonna be best of 6-7, going forward.
