That's cute. It implies that the Cavaliers are an actual team, with multiple championship caliber pieces. The Cavs are Lebron James. That is all. Without him, this "team" would be in the lottery.
Boston may be down it's 2 best players, but they're still an actual team. Loaded with depth, and well coached. All their guys are versatile, young, athletic, and unlike the Raptors, they're not afraid. "No one," meaning sports media and casual fans, thought that Boston stood a chance, because they've seen Lebron dominate the East for so many years, they're unwilling to pick against him until they actually see somebody knock him off. Truth is, if you know anything about basketball, and you were paying attention, you knew the Cavs were about to have a problem on their hands. I believe I said earlier in this thread, before the semi finals finished, that the Celtics would likely take the Cavs in 6.
Lebron would have to go absolutely nuclear to get past this team.
