I think you're going to find out just how bad the Cavs really were once this next season is over and the Cavs win less than 25 games.

Considering they were built around Lebron, I wouldnt doubt it, although with just one good role player, I think there a playoff team.
Did the Bulls win anything when Jordan left?-NO! Its was a COMPLETELY different team. Those guys were built around Jordan.

If the Cavs stunk that bad, they wouldnt have won so many games. Its a team game, Lebron was the main man, but the system did work. The cavs WERE in position to win.

Sure, Lebrons had GREAT playoff games, but hes has some of the worst, if not the worst, playoff games Ive ever seen by an "all time great"

Point the blame where you like, but Lebron was as much to blame as any of the others players out there. He had a chance, and I personally think he failed, and gave up. His actions showed this. Joining Wade and Bosh? ...Really? Thats like Jordan, Magic, and Bird teaming up....wheres the challenge, or acomplishment in that? Putting yourself in the best place to win? Thats funny.....they should have said easiest place where theres no battles.

absolutely sad. Glad I was around when real champs played, these guys are just chumps looking for the easy road.

Actually the year after Jordan's first retirement, the Bulls went 55-27.

And were a bad call away from probably going to the Finals, though who knows if they woulda beat Indiana in the ECF.

Depends on when you're talking. If it's after the first time, as mentioned they won 55 games with an MVP caliber year out of Pippen and as mentioned were a blown call away from making it to the Finals. I honestly believe they could have beaten that Rockets team, but who really knows.

If we're talking the second time around, then that's really not fair cause that team was completely and utterly different from the year before. They were running out a starting lineup of Brent Barry, Toni Kukoc, Ron Harper, Mark Bryant and Andrew Lang. It's amazing they even won 13 games. I shudder to think how bad things would have been if that wasn't the lockout season.

Ya, I was referring to the 2nd time. I thought Pippen was there that year.

Yeah, Phil, Mike and Scottie left at the same time. Pip Was sign-and-traded to Houston that offseason. Probably the worst time I witnessed as a Bulls fan, followed by the years following.

Yeah, that time was tough to swallow...

Especially since everybody knew management made sure that it happened with the way they dealt with things

I really do hate Krause. I give him all the props for being able to build a great team around Michael, but he really was a douche.
