Tough to beat a Lebron lead team.
It seemed the Warriors have the blueprint - let Lebron get his and stop everyone else. Miami Heat would have Bosh, Wade, Deng, Dragic, Whiteside, they are easily a top two in the EAST if healthy. Supporting cast there may actually be better than Lebron's. When Heat were healthy during the regular season, they went 2-2 against the Cavs. Problem is, without any one of their pieces, Heat break down.
The blueprint to beat the Cavs was to play them without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. The series would have been completely different with them both playing. I am a Heat fan and still don't think this team will beat the Cavs but they should be a top 3 team in the east.
Also, the Mavericks got totally robbed by Jordan's last minute flip back to the Clippers.

If you're talking about DeAndre Jordan, he averaged 13 in the post-season. His average was 12 ppg in the regular season. Everyone's value isn't always about their offensive contribution though. DeAndre was 1st in the NBA in rebounds at 15 per game. He was also 5th in the NBA in blocks per game. Btw, I'm not a Mavs fan (Spurs for me), but if the Mavs had been able to pick him up, they would've had the #1 and #5 rebounders in the league on their team because the Mavericks' own Tyson Chandler was 5th in rebounding. That would've been quite a coup.

No he won't. And the Clips didn't do the Mavs wrong, Jordan did the Mavs wrong. Jordan reached out to the Clips, did you expect the Clips to not reach back to Jordan? Or did you expect the Clips to tell Jordan, "Knaw man, you made your decision and we don't want you back!" Fat chance of the latter ever happening.
