Yes, when a team has LeBron James, you can’t necessarily rule them out. Can even the King accomplish this nearly impossible feat, minus-Kyrie Irving, though? I wouldn’t think too many believe so and for good reason. This iteration of the Golden State Warriors did have their hiccups in a seven-game Western Conference Finals victory over the Houston Rockets but this Cleveland Cavaliers’ roster does not have nearly the two-way dogs that Houston team had.
It’s going to take a heck of a ton of creativity from Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue and James to figure out how to make this a competitive series.
