"no team without uncle drew is better than any team with uncle drew" - uncle drew

shd also be noted the general consensus at this time last year was that the heat were much stronger than they ended up being

i do think all of those things are true to a certain extent about the cavs and i dont think they have the east finals locked up bc they will face the hawks or maybe bulls and those are crazy tough outs.
i also think they were true about the 2013-14 heat minus the coaching issue bc spo was/is great, but then again in those playoffs they faced the bobcats, nets and an imploding pacers team that still took two games from them!

except teams coached by Pop. which is why SPURS

i don't think there's really any precedent for a team with the cavs' defensive rating winning it all. even since everything clicked for them they've been only slightly above average on defense whereas history indicates you need to be at least pretty close to elite.

cavs need another year in the oven at a slightly different temperature

its true they didnt face anyone of consequence but they also breezed through the east, that pacers series was abt as lopsided as a 6 game series can be, pacers also had recovered quite a bit by that point fwiw

this. as much as i want to believe, the game cannot be only about buckets
― yr uncle drew, Friday, 17 April 2015 14:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah feel like ive heard stats ppl saying being in the top third of the league is the absolute minimum historically, and its not like the cavs are alltime great offensively

curious to see how brons old man game hold up in the offs, cld get ugly if he tries/needs to force it
― lag∞n, Friday, 17 April 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
like anecdotally, once you start thinking about them individually ... kyrie, jr, love are all minus defenders. bron has slipped on that end if even by choice. mozgov is p good but he's not tyson chandler. i just don't see how they're gonna outscore equally prolific offensive teams like golden state or the spurs, assuming cleveland gets there.

they cld be v subject to hawks slicing and dicing too :)

logo branding copy is secretly some of the lamest shit of all time
"Using the colloquial LA will resonate in a profound way with a younger demographic. Not only does this rule differentiate and elevate the clippers from other Los Angeles sports franchises, it empowers the LAC design element with a verbal communication standard"

their whole job is to be up the ass of business which is why the outcomes are so bad the decision makers have no design expertise
