Future Is Bright For Oladipo While LeBron > Rest Of The Cavaliers
After watching the Pacers and Cavaliers series I can tell you right now that Victor Oladipo is a tremendous basketball player who is ready in the future not only to step up his game to even a whole new other level but become one of the best players in the whole NBA. Oladipo was not only great this postseason but he was so good in the regular season as well. Oladipo averaged 22.7 points in the seven playoff games he played this postseason and he averaged 23.1 points during the regular season.
This is Oladipo's fifth year in the league as he is 25 years old. This is the time now in Oladipo's career where he is going to work hard and seriously do whatever it takes and I mean whatever it takes to become one of the best players in the NBA and win a championship. 16 minutes right after the Pacers lost to the Cavs yesterday in Game 7 Oladipo texted his trainer asking when they are going to start training again so he can improve his game. That shows how much Oladipo wants to improve his game as he is aware that each and every game he is getting better. The Pacers gave the Cavs a good test this series as they never gave up and forced the series to 7 games.
Now let's talk about the Cavs. I know they just won the series against the Pacers but I am disappointed in the Cavs. The Cavaliers Forward-Guard LeBron James has averaged 34.4 points during the postseason which is the best on the team. The second best scorer on the Cavs this postseason is Kevin Love who has averaged 11.4 points. Like seriously without LeBron this Cavs team would have been swept by the Pacers. Like LeBron played 43 minutes in Game 7 yesterday and scored 45 points. Like just look at his game log during the series against the Pacers. LeBron has put up 46,44 and 45 points in a game this series. That is 3 40-point games he had this postseason. LeBron has seriously taken over this Cavs team as he is a player on the team obviously. But he also seems to act like the coach, the general manager and the owner.
The Cavs got to play the Raptors in the next round and if they want to beat the #1 seed in the East LeBron would seriously have to put up 3 50-point games if they want a chance to win. Like you might say that even though LeBron scores the most points that all the other players on the team contribute by making sure LeBron is able to touch the ball but that can not work all the time cause some team is going to stop him soon. Like I look at all these other teams like the Warriors and the Rockets and the 76ers and the Raptors and even the Pelicans and they all just have more than one player on their team that can flat out score.
If the Cavs want to beat the Raptors someone else on the Cavs needs to find a way to put up points. As of right now with the way LeBron is playing right now you might say he is better than Jordan because of how much James has to carry his team which Jordan did not have to because Jordan had other players on his championship teams that scored points throughout his whole career in Chicago. But we will see if LeBron has to carry his team to beat the Raptors all by himself or not.
