It was understood the Cavs had gaping holes everywhere, especially their bench. Their biggest concern this year is to convince Love to not bolt after the season as they gave up their future for him. Lebron and Irving will learn to coexist, but, at what point? Hopefully for the Cavs it's before Love is convinced that relationship is dysfunctional. Lebron isn't the player who should be playing with a top level point guard because he commands the ball. Miami was the perfect setup for him as far as a starting five is concerned. It was their bench that was the question mark. Now you've got a tougher situation for Lebron and the bench is far worse than what was in Miami.
First of all, let me say that I am attacking the post and not the poster here. Plainview has done a wonderful service to us all by leading us all the the holy land known as UnionVGF. With that being said, are you nuts?!
1) I noticed you wrote this on November 23rd rather than before opening tip off of the Cavs v. Knicks season opener. You know what they say about hindsight.
2) "It was understood the Cavs had gaping holes everywhere, especially their bench." "...gaping holes everywhere" What? Perhaps it's not for me to say, but I have a hard time believing the David Blatt, LeBron James, Kevin Love, and the majority of sports media thought that the 2014/2015 Cleveland Cavaliers have gaping holes everywhere. I don't think LeBron James would have returned to Cleveland if he saw a franchise with "gaping holes everywhere". I don't think Kevin Love would have agreed to come to Cleveland if he saw "gaping holes everywhere". I don't think everyone on the planet called them title contenders before the season started, if there were "gaping holes everywhere".
3) Their bench is not the problem Pt I: LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving have all played a ridiculous amount of minutes this year. They're playing all those minutes because games are close. The bench has nothing to do with that. Their bench is not the problem Pt II: Tristain Thompson and Dion Waiter are both number 4 overall picks from 3 and 4 years ago. They both logged a lot of NBA minutes and have experience starting. Both of them are also about to enter the prime of their NBA careers. These are exactly the type of players you want coming off the bench for your team. Mike Miller and Shawn Merrian are now scrubs apparently? There are 15 teams in the NBA who would straight up swap benches with the Cavs right now. The Cavs aren't losing games because of their bench.
4) Miami was anything but the perfect setup for James. James and Wade both played practically the same position and Bosh changed his game drastically to get everything working properly. Did you see him taking a lot of corner three's in Toronto? It worked because they were all good-great defensive players and they had enough talent on offense to figure things out.
