Lebron will predictably be much better in the playoffs. And he's carried bad teams before.
But I think the supporting cast has real problems they didn't in years past. Lue consciously made the decision to go with undersized guys who can shoot. And now they have some very real problems down low unless Sanders plays well coming back from the grave. While Lebron hit another gear in the playoffs, they also did well because the supporting cast hit another hustling/toughness gear. I just don't see that happening this year. I think Lebron has to kick it up 2 notches to carry this team.
But they'll probably make it out of the East because it's the East.
