Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2714789, member: 1026"] Celtics defense is better than the Cavs defense. That is a HUGE regular season fact and although the Cavs improved greatly in the Toronto series the defensive edge still goes to Celtics - way more switchable players, fewer players to hide, better 3-pt defense etc... LeBron is a great trump card that has prevailed in the past, but that does not make the Cavs automatic to win the next series and while LeBron's presence alone gives the Cavs a puncher's chance v the West, the Celtics team defense is engineered both physically and conceptually to compete against teams like the Warriors and Rockets. Celts probably don't have the offensive horses to get it done this season, but they matchup better defensively against anyone than the Cavs do. [/QUOTE]
