I honestly don't know if they have. But its really bad, every time i watch them I see atleast 1 of them on the bench with a suit on.

The Lakers were the superior team out there, the Celtic's starters looked good, but the Laker's bench dominated.

The Celtics are missing Posey. Also watch out for them Cavaliers, they're creeping up to that first place spot.

Sorry, but the Cavs don't have the depth to compete with the Lakers/Celtics. Good defensive team, but they lack the firepower to compete with the top two teams in the league.

I dont think they lack any firepower..I love what the Cavs are doing this year. They also have some extra firepower no other team in the NBA has. His name is LeBron. And yea yea, Kobe, Garnett etc. Not the same. Although I admit, on the christmas day game..Kobe turned it up and looked a little more like he did last year. However, he doesnt need to do that as much this year and thats why they've got the record they do.

Yeh, the Cavs have Lebron, a mediocre, end of the road center, a shoot first point guard who doesn't have as much range as we first though...

Z is fantastic, and it showed how good he was when you watched the cavs play without him. I was on the "get rid of Z" bandwagon a couple of years ago, but as someone who watches essentially every cavs game, he is the next most vital piece next to LeBron. Calling Mo a shoot first point guard who doesn't have much range takes a lot away from him. His niche is that pull up mid range jumper. Delonte West shoots the 3s. Our ONLY weakness is a lack of offensive skill from the big men besides Z.

Boogie Gibson is a stud. And Ilgauskas is still one of the best true centers in the league. They come pretty deep off the bench as well with Szczerbiak, Delonte, Williams, and a coach's dream in Varejao. I think you're underestimating them a little.

Don't forget Sasha Pavlovic who's got the most potential out of all of them.
