Toronto got Ibaka to beat us. Massai coveted him since last year, and it was a "now or never" move since they'd never be able to get anybody of his caliber after signing Lowry to his max extension this summer.
A lot of people laughed at Toronto for going so far above the salary cap with a treadmill team, but you have to wonder if it was the smart play given how abysmal the Cavs have ended up being.
Everybody is so focused on Washington and Boston but Toronto with a healthy Lowry (and remember, they added Tucker) is arguably the scariest team in the East.
Frankly, I don't have any hope for the Cavs against any of those teams at the moment.
The Cavs were awesome in November and December, horrible in January, awesome in February, and horrible in March. The only thing to conclude is that the Cavs are maddeningly inconsistent. It's too early to talk about the how "abysmal the Cavs have ENDED up being" when there is still three weeks to playoffs and three months till the Finals. For all we know they could be awesome again in April-June.
