I realize we're supposed to have learned from the LeBron/Heat beginnings...

... but the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently not very good at basketball. I feel like the Heat looked pretty atrocious at times during their first 18 games together, but I have a hard time remembering/believing that they looked as disfunctional and ill-fitting as the 2014/15 Cavs have thus far.

Love looks like a misfit and the supporting cast has been horrible. Still super early but it will be interesting as it develops. Obviously the East being horrendous won't hurt - if this team was in the West they might be jockeying for a 4 seed at best.

Utah currently outplaying, outhustling, and outclassing Cleveland at the half.

I'm just confused about what the hell is going on with LeBron. He just looks disinterested at times.

Not watching but the box score makes it look like Cleveland is playing terribly defensively. Jazz shooting almost 60% from the field

Yeah. I think LeBron and Blatt want this to be a team without obvious flaws that doesn't have to rely on LeBron dominating to win. I think they want to be like the Spurs. But that is going to take a lot of time. At some point, if it isn't working, they will patch it together and be a Top 4 seed.

With Miami, even when they didn't look cohesive on offense early on, they were still playing solid team defense.

Miami was 8-7 to start his first year. Thet then went on like a 20-2 run. Lets give Cleveland at least 15 games before starting this shite.

This always had the possibility of blowing up. I think a few people on here criticized Love as an overrated stat machine and were grilled for it. Even some Cavs fans say Kyrie has a problem with ball hogging. Add in shitty D, Bron and his gang pointer fingers at everyone, and it could get ugly. I still think they finish second in the garbage east, but there is no way that squad can win a finals.

Aaaaaaaaaand here come the Cavs.

Don't disagree with your post though. But it's very very early.

I thought everyone who thought they had a chance to win a championship this year was crazy. I kept hearing it, "Love gives them the best chance to win a championship this year." What does that matter if they can't win it?

Should've just kept Wiggins, who looked pretty damn good tonight by the way. Maybe if you trade anyone it's Kyrie's sorry arse.

I just don't know how people consider Kyrie an elite player as a PG when he can barely average over 5.5 assists in a game.



I don't know why people think that either.

Overreact much? It's the 4th game of the season.

What is he is sick. Aids or cancer...maybe Ebola causing him to lose weight.Left for Cleveland to spend the last of what little time he has left at home. He will come out after his short contract to retire.
