what a loser mentality. isn't the goal to WIN finals not REACH?

And your expectations for the bulls without Gasol would be winning it all? Being realistic isn't having a "loser mentality". I fall in the category of get to the finals, then anything can happen.

Cavs can and will beat the Bulls. LeBron's increased usage rate (no more of that pacing himself crap) will see to that. Their Conference Finals foe will be the Wiz (provided Wall can get past his wrist injury).

Pierce v. LeBron will likely incite an intense and spirited series with the Cavs emerging on top. Can the Love-less Cavs make the Finals? Yes. Can they win? I don't know. GSW should come out of the West and they are going to be more than a handful. That being said, if LeBron makes it back to the Finals with a partner like Kyrie, they are going to be a nearly impossible out.

I do believe LeBron... I mean, the Cavs... are going to make it to the Finals. Largely without Kevin Love and not much from Kyrie Irving either. If that happens it will be one of LeBron's greatest accomplishments. Maybe one of the greatest feats in NBA history considering where Cleveland has been the last 4 years.

We will either lose the finals because of Lebron or win the finals because of Lebron. He and this team will make it. If he takes over too much well..... If he plays with his team we have a chance of a championship.

Do you actually think lebron and Irving are going to carry this team to win it all?? I don't think so...


Wow. Prophetic. LOL

And now Delli is in the hospital and Shump has a bruised shoulder/stinger.

At least Blatt is out coaching Kerr.

Delly and Shump will be able to play. Heck Shump came back after the injury to play last night. Stingers suck, but he's got a couple days.
