    It's not just Love. It's Irving and Waiters as well. Everyone except LeBron has a history of being a selfish me-first player. There's a reason why a team with quite a bit of talent last year was unable to make the playoffs. Kyrie pouts and is a horrible leader. He pretty much wanted out of Cleveland until LeBron said he was coming back. He and Waiters feuded last season. Now you add the new Stat-Bo, Kevin Love, and you've got a "big three" that is 2/3 comprised of selfish stars who don't get it. This is a far cry from the LeBron/Wade/Bosh combo. All three of those guys had already played on shitty teams, they had already been "the man" and they wanted to win. Unless LeBron steps up and leads, this team will fail because of the egos and the selfish attitudes.

    Makes me wonder. If the Wizards vs Cavs happen in the playoffs.... Will the Wizards pull out the upset?
    Love can't check Nene or Gortat...
    John Wall is damn good... Beal as well.. Pierce?
    Would the Cavs do the little things to beat that team?
    I trust LeBron would... But would his co-stars?
    I don't know. I would go with Wizards in 5... over the Cavs.

    Kyrie has 36 shot attempts in his last 2 games and 0 assists

    He's too young. He doesn't get it. He's their version of Westbrook. Lebron is playing it wrong though. Jordan would have walked in and established himself as the alpha dog. Lebron is further proving that he's more a pippen and less a Jordan.

    Cleveland doesn't need a Jordan/Kobe though, they need team ball, not an egotistical ass-hat playing the role of Stalin.

    Jordan won six championships with that mindset. Kobe, for all his faults, won five titles.

    Yeah, they both also had Phil Jackson who could control the controller.

    Ok, but my point is that the Cavs are too young to understand that they need to police themselves.

    Flawed premise, because Sabonis was the greatest to ever play the game.

    LeBron "recommenced" a starting lineup change last night.....Miller in and Waiters out. The coach is already dead man walking. It will be interesting to see how Irving, Love and LeBron end up getting along if they struggle. I don't think the lack of assists by Kyle will be an issue though. LBJ prefers to run the offense anyways.

    What? Kyrie Irving has been dominating the ball? Really? I just did not see that coming.

    Of course Irving has been dominating the ball. That's what he knows how to do.

    This Cavs team is not as good a fit as Lebron had in Miami. And he'd fit even better with the Blazers starters.

    It's all about the fit. Synergy is a powerful drug.

    We all knew it would never happen but many of us have commented in the past that the Blazers really would have been the perfect fit for LBJ. His loss I guess but its too bad he didnt look at it more from that angle but hey hometown will always be hometown.

    Also the storyline of going back to Cleveland was written the day he left. It's hard to give up the drama and the spotlight.

    Oh man imagine him in portland instead of Batum... Impossible to stop because we would have a post up player at SF, PF, and center.
