How would the LeBron-Kyrie Cavs fare against these current Bucks and Celtics teams? (alien.top)

I think these two teams are the best teams the East has had outside the LeBron teams and the 2019 Raptors.

The East was awful during the Kyrie/Bron/Love era, how would they fare against these teams? Would they struggle or beat them with relative ease?

People talk about the prime Lebron years as if he never lost a game. Yes Lebron is the best player in each scenario, but basketball is a team sport. The best version of Lebron went 1-3 against an aging Dirk and Duncan.

Team composition matters more than people think. The Cavs were top heavy but aside from 2016, the rest of the squad didn’t show up. It really comes down to which team gets hot. If JR Smith + the rest of the role players play like they did in 2016, it’s a wrap. But if they don’t, I’d expect both the Celtics and Bucks to win.
