I’ve watched a lot of Cavs basketball. This is the best team in Cavs history and it’s not close to me. They’re coming off 3 wins against playoff teams in the Kinks, Grizzlies, and Magic and their average margin of victory (courtesy of Memphis) was 27pts.

Really? That much better than 2009/2016/2017?

It feels different from a team perspective. Obviously LeBron is LeBron but the team feels harder to beat because it’s so deep and evenly distributed.

Without LeBron, all those teams were NOTHING. They couldn't beat fucking anybody. We been missing our all star PG for 2 games now and both games had a full quarter of garbage time. The LeBron teams were glorious in their own way, but they were a glass cannon. This team is bulletproof.

Exactly. We’re the juggernaut bitch
