just let Lebron coach the team

I think he already is....

Huh, I guess I'm blind to the fact that we league the lead in assists. I'm sure it's been mentioned 100 times, I'm impressed.

Living in Ohio, I read a lot of local media not seen on ESPN. Kyrie is having a hard time with Bron. Who's the alpha dog? Obviously LeBron is arguably the best play in the league... But he jus turned 30. Remember, Kyrie was the all star MVP last year. And Kevin Love not putting near numbers he was. It's chemistry.... And their coach... He isn't ready for this team.

He's 30, milestone. Feels just yesterday he was 18 playing for the Cavs.

Attention is good... It's too soon. Still feels like pre-season to me.

The Bucks have more wins then they did all last year... Or they're close. I know the East is bad, but it's not like they're not competing. We had a bad night... But responded like a superior team should, especially vs. the same team on their floor. It's a credit to coaching and prep.

At this time last year we were 16-13 and 3rd in the Eastern Conference. After Al got hurt, we went 22-31 and finished 8th in the Eastern Conference. A year later, we're sitting a half game out of 1st in the Eastern Conference and looking like a true threat to go to the NBA Finals. Here's a question, had Al Horford not torn his pectoral muscle last year, how far would we have gone last year? What impact could that have played on this current season?

Ugh, don't remind me... Bad post, bad post!!! Let's focus on the present.. Lol

I like the pub... I just think it's just a bit pre-mature. Long way to go, but I'm pleasantly surprised how well the team is playing for him...

We're second in the East, and talking heads are blowing Toronto and Cleveland..... I know they're good. So are we. Pisses me off. Not a mention. Fu$k em...

Merry Christmas everyone. Cherish it with loved ones!!!

We don't need a so called "star".... We have two already. Jesus, it's guys that don't care about individual awards. Bud has something going on. Our last five games are proven. We're second in the East. Stop bitching.

I don't have an argue, or any beef. But what our guys have done, coaches, players, is very impressive. We've beat some very good teams...

I honestly thought we may go on a three-four game losing streak after playing the easiest schedule to start. Well, I'm more than happy to eat crow.... I think tonight was our best win of the season. Sure we killed the Cavs, but that was revenge, the motivation was there.

Another win, against a West team with Rondo.... This stretch worried me.... Not so much anymore

I dunno man... Kyrie, LeBron, and Love seems like a good core to win the pathetic East with some pieces around. It might take time after the All -star break... They'll get there.

Despite we spanked them recently, I think when it's all said and done, 82 games, Cleveland will win the East. Just growing pains now and then, currently.

I don't think he'll make it, and I don't think he cares. He'll turn down the three point contest, to use that time to be with his family, just like last year. All star weekend is more about money and TV time... Competition is non-existent.

This is a hypothesis that haven't been proven true yet.  All the championship teams have had marquee players.  No system team has ever won a championship.  There's still 3-4 minutes per game that requires somebody to stepup.  Usually, that's your marquee player.

It's easy to look at Marquee players in bad situations that just can't win.  However, that isn't the same as if that Marquee player were in a good situation.

Right now, we have a good situation but no real Marquee player.

It depends on what considers "marquee". We have two proven unselfish all-stars. A PG that is climbing that ladder. Stars like Westbrook and Melo are out to get theirs... Stars like Parker, Mano, and Duncan buy into the system and win trophies.

I'll evaluate him after the postseason is over. Still not impressed... failed to put pieces around LeBron and hasn't pulled in any marquee players. Like others have said, more impressed with Bud. Best Atlanta HC in a long time.

Not impressed? What else can you ask for to start this season? You don't need the so called "marquee" players anymore. You need a system, guys that know their roles, and solid coaching where guys buy in. Is Melo a marquee player? How's that working out?

I'm not sure we've had a more important win in years than this.... We're playing well, and going on the road in a loaded West. Houston is good! Love it....

I believe re-signing Sap should be priority number one over anything. He's perfect in the system, plays extremely hard, and never complains. I know the comparisons are played, but couldn't you see Paul in a Spurs uni?

Eh, I think we would have a better chance advancing vs. the Bulls than the Cavs,... But that's just me. Maybe because I'm brainwashed living in Ohio and leBron inks all the papers...

Really? A healthy Bulls team with Rose , Butler , Noah and Gasol?

If we meet that team in a 7 game series I do not see us pulling it out. The Caves have more holes then swiss cheese. You are just Lebron struck

Not really, Bron is a proven champion. With a top 5 point guard and a damn good PF. The Bulls have talent, not proved anything....

Eh, I think we would have a better chance advancing vs. the Bulls than the Cavs,... But that's just me. Maybe because I'm brainwashed living in Ohio and leBron inks all the papers...

Not counting them out at all. I just think that they are not , and will not be another Heat. I thought I made that pretty clear.

Okay, I gotcha. But in a 7 game series, being a betting man... Would you pick ATL to beat CLE?

I disagree 100% with this. While its true Miami started in a similar way , but for one example , Bosh and Wade are not anemic on defense , and also Lebron has clearly took a step back since there is a HGH policy in effect now. Could they collect themselves and be contenders in the east? Well sure they can , but they will not be head and shoulders above anyone.

I dunno man, it's hard to count out a team with arguably the best player in the world, an all star game MVP, and Kevin Love. In a garbage East???

There is no cream of the crop in the east , and if there was Cleveland would not be it. Their makeup has a huge flaw that they will not just be able to patch up.

It's a small sample size.  Cleveland will get better and better.  The same thing happened in Miami with the "big 3".... started slow but put it together.  It takes time to gel....
