For better? Stranger seems to think... maybe.
It couldn't be worse! Isaiah and Lebron's games did not mesh well. The Cavs were old and lost something like 12 out of 16 games and were getting worse. No chemistry in the makeup of the team. This gives them youth and upgrades them at most positions.

People had been speculating that Lebron has quit on the team and vice versa. That was a headline yesterday. Now, it's a whole new team.

i think its better but probably not championship better.

It will all depend on how quickly these guys can play together and if Lebron is feeling it. If he is, then anything can happen
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

Cavs fanbanned for heckling
Mills was at the line with 2:29 remaining in Sunday's game when the fan could be heard yelling, "Hey Jamaica called, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!"

The heckle was originally misinterpreted by both the fan who brought the clip to Mills' attention and Spurs forward Kyle Anderson as, "Hey, Jamaican dog!"

Mills, a native of Australia who is black, was not asked about the taunts after the game. His father is a Torres Strait Islander and his mother is an indigenous Australian.
That's ban-worthy?
It's not me, it's someone else.

Probably.

I think saying anyone of a certain race is interchangeable with anyone else from another country predominately that race is racist.

Except if you do it to white people. That might sound like a joke, but that is, in fact, reality.

In an announcement that should shock nobody, the Cavaliers' scapegoat is suffering panic attacks.

Who would have thought the guy blamed for everything in Cleveland, while the cancer of Lebron James goes without criticism, would suffer mental anguish?

Stop the presses!

Lebron says something nice about Love.

Holy shit! What a monumental moment. Love isn't being used as the scapegoat!

Wait a minute...Did he just essentially say the team isn't winning because Love got hurt? In other words, it's still all Love's fault? :D

LiAngelo Ball enters a loaded draft.

Draft experts say he is a long shot to be drafted at all.

Kyrie joins Hayward in being out for the year.

Celtics won't be a threat in the East during the playoffs. Looks like, barring a Toronto miracle, Lebron will be in the finals again.

Stranger, I told you and your cousin the Celtics were happy to part with that Nets pick because they saw it falling to 7-8. You guys said that was nuts.

Nets look to be around 7-8 in the draft.

Brad Stevens is pretty amazing as a coach. He's like the Coach K though... are you going to give it to Coach K every year?

Refs lost control of that game last night. It was an embarrassment for the NBA. Goon ball was being played in the fourth quarter as guys were mauling one another.

Celtics/Cavs on Sunday.

You're copying my prediction from last night.
