They're legit. This is the best LeBron-era Cavs team, better than the team that got anally violated by the Spurs in the Finals.
They're off to a nice start, and their offense has improved greatly from last year.....but I still can't take them seriously to go all the way.
What do you guys make of the Cavs this year?

They should wear those jerseys from last night for the rest of the season. If I had any money, I'd buy one of those real quick.
They are definitely for real.
from the usual help they get from the refs, they could easily win it all this year. easily....
they will be the 2009 NBA champions in my book.
Nope^.
The Cavs are still painful to watch. I rather watch the Thunder. Kobe that picture of Pierce just ain't right.
people in Phoenix have trouble watching a team play defense
LeBron is EASILY the best player in the league. Any team that has him is a legitimate threat.
While it's impressive that they are drilling all the bad teams by 30 or so, they've lost to every good team they've played against; BOS,DET,NOH. I want to see them when they have a tougher schedule.

Ben and Gimpy in the frontcourt shouldn't scare anyone. It remains to be seen whether trading Eric Snow's defense for Mo Williams' offense will pay dividends in the playoffs.
A team who starts a dude as ugly as Delonte West deserves credit, though. Or something.
not easily Wade, Kobe duncan, and of course pierce says he is ...Dhoward and KG CP3 are all close and you can argue them ...
I say Kobe still barely over Lebron BUT he cant hold him off much longer ...and duncan was better as well in his MVP years ...I think Lebroin if healthy may challenge Jordan as GOAT
Tell us more.
Ferry can still pull off a big trade in the meantime. The team having a great chemistry is a big plus too.
They are off to a very nice start. However, they are a move away from taking it to that next level. That team as it currently stands, is still not good enough to win a championship. They need a good consistent scoring bigman then they will be truly set. Ben/Z/sideshow bob just isnt enough. They have some expiring and very very soon to be expiring contracts that are very tradeable. Delonte West or Gibson also need to be dealt. They have too many pgs. Lebron is amazing but he needs a scoring big by his side. No excuses on standing Pat. The Cavs have until Feb to do something about this and they have the pieces to make a trade.
They are definately much improve this year but they still wont go all the way. In fact, they'll probably get eliminated in the second round. Maybe could go to the Eastern Conference Finals..maybe.
Cleveland Cavs suck ass.
Cavs are definately legit. That team is awesome defensively and grabs every single board. Z is playing like an All-Star, so is Mo Williams. Great bench.
And LeBron.
Lebron James is a mother f'in regulator.
West is a combo. Boobie is a shooting guard in a point's body.
There fine with those guys rotating around the guard spots, but a solid defensive, jumpshot making 2 guard is needed. PS. at least 6'6
I had just come in here to start a thread like this.
I think the Cavs are legit. Somewhat Spur-like in you look at their roster and other than the obvious (LeBron), it's hard to believe that they're really that much better than last year. But the parts seem to fit really well. Yes, they're playing defense, but they are currently FIRST in the league in offensive efficiency (points per 100 possessions). So it's not just winning with ugly defense.
I'm surprised that Mo Williams seems to have made that much of a difference.
The East this year is alot better top to bottom. Granted it still comes down to Boston and Cavs. But Orlando,Detroit,Toronto,New Jersey and Miami and Atlanta won't be walks in the park in the playoffs.
I think all they need is another veteran big. LeBron's D has improved to the point where Sasha is adequate as a 10-min cover on an opponent's top wing player. But J.J. Hickson won't cut it as the #4 big man. Neither will Wally stealing minutes at the 4. You need veterans to win championships.
No stud needed. Just someone like this guy (on the right):
(Like PJ Brown for the C's last year)
...and this team is ready to compete for a championship, as cons uted. When you have the best player in the league and are sound defensively, with an array of solid, smart role players, you don't need a facelift. IMO.
