Clearly, LBJ is a great player, but this Cavs team isn't quite the same team that LeBron played with.
Top 8 players from last year's Cavs team (total min).
1. LBJ (Heat)
2. Mo Williams (has missed about one-third of season with injury, and already more than all last season)
3. Anthony Parker (has missed 6 games with injury, more than he missed all last season)
4. Varejao (has missed about one-third of season with injury and will miss remainder of season, more than he missed all last season).
5. Hickson (has missed 3 games, but more than he missed all last season)
6. West (Celtics)
7. Big Z (Heat)
8. Shaq (Celtics)
(Note: Antawn Jamison was 3rd in mpg, and has missed 3 games).
However, that supporting cast helped LBJ win 37 of 48 games, whereas his supporting cast this year has only won 34 of 48 games.
