They are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. LeBron and Marion are like the two good defenders on the team and LeBron's been shite on defense this season.

They are relying on Love as a rim protector. He's basically completely eliminated the mid-range shot from his arsenal.

Their offense is still extremely basic and is being run by a PG who doesn't enjoy passing.

Their bench blows.

Since this team was formed they've had an enormous target on them and that is hard to deal with when majority of the roster has never had to play a meaningful minute in their careers.

They have no rim protector.

Their offense is a work in progress.

Love isnt being fully utilized.

I'd imagine other teams just run pick and rolls with their 1 & 4 and Irving and Love how no idea how to defend it.

You can take LeBron out of the game both offensively and defensively on this team a lot easier than you could in Miami.

I think that about sums it up

I figure Lebron will try to turn it on halfway through the season but when two of your three "superstars" are basically bad defenders in Kyrie and Love you've got a poor start on defense.

I'm idly wondering what this team would look like with mike d'antoni at the helm. I don't think they could win a championship but they would be interesting
