    Yes. I’ve said 3 or 4 times this is the most talented passing team in the history of the league with LeBron, Luka and AR on the floor at the same time. The offense in that 2nd half started to gel a tiny bit and look how much fun and awesome it was. Literally Showtime level with some of the play. And 10 times more more fun than Luka and AR trading off calling out picks to them beyond the circle for constant same look P&R with little movement anywhere else. LeBron joining them out there is what unlocks it. And love seeing other than 5 out basketball. So much more cutting and movement. There should be no way JJ can’t design a great plan for much better offense now.

    Could this be a championship year?

    okc, denver, and houston are the only teams that will stand in their way. cavs are the only team in the east i see as a legit threat

    Yeah, those numbers just aren’t good enough.
    He most definitely needs to kick it in a higher gear.

    I actually think that improving our defense is the only thing standing in the way. It will take a trade or two to get guys in here with better foot speed on that side of the ball, but it needs to happen if we are going to go all the way.
    Right now, both OKC and Houston are too quick for our slower squad to handle and Denver’s passing ability with hitting shooters is tough for us to deal with.

    I'm really interested to see our first matchup with Houston. So far they're 1st in offensive rating and 13th in defensive rating, which is the exact opposite of where I thought they'd be.

    I knew they would be good with Durant, but I didn’t expect them to be this good. Sengun is really underrated (only 2.5 assists away from averaging a triple dub)and works like the Joker as their offensive hub, so it was only a matter of time for them to plug in the right pieces around him.

    houston's size is my biggest concern. sengun and adams are too much for ayton to handle

    I think LeBron can be effective against Sengun by not letting him setup next to the paint.

    yeah, i'd take my chances with lebron single-covering sengun, tbh. he kills people with strength and guile, and lebron's got him in both.

    Sengun has significant difficulties to avoid (dumb) fouls .

    He'll be targeted by Bron and Luka in the PNR
