I wonder if lebron's back is bothering him worse than he lets on. He just didn't look very fluid or athletic out there (by his standards) and he did a lot of standing around and resting on defense. His passing was good but that will always be there no matter if he's hurt. A nagging back problem could also explain why he's seemed out of sorts.
But man, do we have a lot of depth. Irving out and Lebron seemingly playing at half speed and we STILL had a tremendous offense. I caught myself thinking -- if last year's team had just managed to get K-Love and replaced Brown with Blatt, with no other changes, then we would still have been looking at 50+ wins easy.
