2773928, Yeah, the main reason why the team hasn't played well...

... is less about the supporting players than simply AD and LeBron missing more than 1/3 of the previous two seasons.

It's not like the 2020 roster was filled with talent, but they played well together and won at a high level. And the '21 team was the top seed until injuries derailed them.

I am NOT saying that this team, even with AD and LeBron playing 70 or 75 games is a contender. But 39-year-old LeBron, if he's playing at the level he did last year, can drag AD and the rest of the roster to at least a low-seeded playoff team.
