Cleveland's again getting their butt kicked w/o LeBron tonight. This one's been a blowout from the 2nd qtr onwards. I don't think I've ever seen a team look this sad w/o it's best player. Usually the ones that do suck when their best player goes down aren't even playoff teams to begin with. Think Boston w/o Pierce last season or Orlando w/o T-Mac in 03-04. Those were 25-30 win teams max. But Cleveland's an NBA Finalist w/ LeBron. They've won 50+ games for 2 straight seasons w/ this exact same roster. W/ him this year(9-6) they were on pace for another near-50 win season despite a brutal schedule to start off the season. Yet w/o him this team would clearly struggle to even win 15 games. That's an unbelievable dropoff w/o one player. Has any player ever been this valuable to a team?
