Would love to see more of the play we just witnessed last night.

Move the ball on offense.

Play tough defense while limiting fouls.

Keep stacking those wins.

Cavs are underwhelming so far this year, 2nd night of a back to back for them. Take care of business

Need to see some Jaime Jailights.

Jai upside pick for this team.

Glad the FO continues to pick well despite not selecting Jaier in the draft.

I like the Cavs a lot. They have done a quick rebuild and made a solid trade for Mitchell. This will be a quality win. Get it done!

Were still waiting for a win over a contending team above 500 ball in the East. So far we have fell short.
These are the teams that we will meet in the playoffs, these are the guys that need to fear us. It doesn't matter how many winning streaks, and romps we perform on bottom feeders, although the wins are welcomed its what a championship minded team trying to contend should be doing regardless. We have all been too far lulled and accustomed to the terrible regular season show, only to ramp it on after the all-star break thing. That crap needs to end, I think Heat fans deserve a better product for a full season. I am glad this year we are awoken from early in the season, hope they keep it up.

It wasn't quick... Kyrie forced his way out which netted them 1 of the Brooklyn picks from Boston which turned into Sexton, before making that pick LeBron left for NOTHING which gave Cleveland another 3 years of a total of 60 wins which got them near the top of the draft 3 straight years getting Garland, Okoro and Mobley, drafted Agbaji in the lottery and got a free J.Allen from Brooklyn needing to make room for Harden.

I'd say they took about the time expected because previously when LeBron left Cleveland for Miami they ended up with 3 of the next #1 overall picks while he was gone... almost like they were restocking Cleveland to get LeBron back but they ****ed it up by making one of the #1 overall picks A.Bennett and the one drafted player that wasn't #1 overall was #4 which they took Dion Waiters with.

It's wild to me that in a 20-year span, 20% of the #1 overall picks went to Cleveland and they barely got 1 title out of it while having LeBron most of those years, boy did they miss a ton in free agency and trades. It's why you have to go all in on winning a championship anytime you're close.

They just beat Philadelphia and they're on a four game win streak. We can't take this one for granted. They're playing good basketball.

That is quite a qualifier, as there are only 3 other contending teams in the east above 500 and the Heat have only faced 2 of them. Additionally, I’d say this is quite a different team than the early Heat who were dealing with injury (especially Highsmith) and hadn’t yet settled on a consistent rotation. Even then, both of those games were on the road and close until the end.

I try and keep the guess work out of sports, you either do or don't simple as that, what ever happened to this point is in the past and cannot be undone or rewritten. Everything your saying is true and I don't disagree with the assessment, all signs point to this being correct, However until they do it, then its still untrue. You can only play what is in-front of you, and they have played a bunch of bad teams during their winning streak, that's also true. Similar to the Dolphins, you got to go out and disprove you only win against crap teams without winning records. This upcoming streak of games give them that opportunity, how will they handle it, we shall see, they got to show us.

Bams out, had a feeling that was coming. Rewatch the 4th from last game, he was limping and grimacing a lot.

So our best player this season who happens to be a center and our backup center are both out against the massive Cavs. Nice lol

Need to balance out some of these wins in order to secure that 15th pick.

If Butler shows any pride or effort we have a good shot at a win. It sucks Bam is out, he was been playing great.

Could be an Orlando Robinson game.

Strus has been good for the Cavs so far. Happy for him. But more happy for Duncan’s insane resurgence.
