Who's the better team Cleveland Cavaliers or Philadelphia 76'ers?

Question

I'm doing my summer power rankings and in the East I'm not sure who to put over the other. Now that Cleveland adds Mo Williams, are they better than Philly who added Brand? I'm leaning towards Cleveland..

Answer 1

i would say the cavs with lebron,Mo, and big Z they will be the better sqaud

Answer 2

Cleveland easily. They have the best all around player in the league, Mo Williams, a great spot up shooter in Gibson, Delonte West presumably at the two guard. And Z and Big Ben will give you problems. The Cavs with Mo Williams could potentially be the 2nd best team in the East

Answer 3

After Philly signing i would now say they are better now~~But that's only on paper ,lets just wait and see.

Answer 4

last season cavs this season very close philly getting smart it might be them this season go Philly

Answer 5

I say Cavs, Lebron gets them to 4th seed all by his own. With Mo taking some pressure off him scoring wise and passing wise, I say they could easily be a Top 2 team in the East. 76'ers may have gotten Brand but he is coming back from a big injury so you can't assume they will suddenly be better than a healthy Lebron team.

Cavs > 76'ers

Answer 6

I think Cleveland is better. There are many reasons why they are better than Philly :

LeBron James > Elton Brand. LeBron is not an injury prone player and he is just simpily better than Brand. LeBron is fast, scores easier, younger, etc...While Elton is old, has injury problems, and other stuff. But he is still a good player.

Another reason is Cleveland just landed Mo Williams. Sure, he's not the greatest point guard, but now LeBron gets a lot more help. Plus they have other young talents like Daniel Gibson and if they re-sign Delonte West.

Overall, Cleaveland will have about 50 wins and IF Brand stays healthy to help his team, Cleveland will have about 48 ish. In my opinion, Cleveland is better.

Answer 7

Cavs all the way

Answer 8

Break it down by position

PG: Delonte West vs. Andre Miller                 Advantage: Miller

SG: Mo Williams vs. Andre Igoudala              Advantage: Igoudala

SF: Lebron James vs. Thad Young                Advantage: James

PF: Ben Wallace vs. Elton Brand                  Advantage: Brand

C: Zydrunas Ilgauskas vs. Sam Dalembert     Advantage: Dalembert

That means the only player winning his one on one matchup is Lebron. He can't carry the whole team. If Philadelphia has even decent team chemistry, they are way better than the Cavs

Answer 9

Cavs..but Lakers are the best out of all

Answer 10

Cavs are still better but Philly is getting better
