Re: the bolded above ...

Give thought to the notion of the 2017 Golden State Warriors losing Klay Thompson and Draymond Green (their third and fourth best players), along with Andre Iguodala, and two other members of their 10-man rotation. Would they be better? We saw them play without Klay and Iggy last night and they were run off the court ...

That's the equivalent of what the Cavaliers are working with at this point of the 2016/2017 season ...

Meanwhile, Charles Barkley and his ilk are (bleep) about media soundbites highlighting that unfortunate fact ...

LeBron
Tristan Thompson

Though there's only one ball...

They are considerably worse without Love. Dont be ridiculous but they still have a chance because of Lebron.

I could see Lebron thinking about a panic move/trade for Melo now..

Love is one of the most low-key injury prone players in the league. A lot of his underperformance in CLE in his stint, has been because he hasn't been 100%. He limps off the court once every dozen games or so.. It's odd, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron is weary of this trend.

A bitter irony if I ever saw one this won't affect the Cavs at all they will still make the Finals the Eastern Conference sucks that much.

Wiz and Celtics have been really good lately. Wiz looking like Rockets east. Celtics have just been damn solid and the Raptors got Ibaka.

Oh wait, Bron plays in the east, so everyone else in the east sucks. Duh. What was I thinking.

Injury withstanding, it's not really up to the Knicks.

They do if the same player goes to 6 consecutive Finals LeBron is good but he also benefits from a weak conference.
