goddamn thats the lineup of death

matty d was saying how everyone sleeps on the cavs every year and every year the cavs turn it on in the playoffs.. i dont see it happening this year. Lebron looks like he knows the limitations of this team..and they got injuries. Kyrie killed the cavs franchise this last summer lol


looks like its in Boston too. family portrait.

They have so many guys who have had reputations as bad teammates. Funny they went on a winning streak with old man Jose as their point guard. Lebron can make the finals with 7 guys who give an honest effort.


Outside that winning streak, their winning % is .435 after tonight. About same as the Hornets. That's really bad.

Any team with Lebron always has a chance. Having said that, I'm more scared of Washington and Miami.

We shouldn't be. Only way we lose to them is if we beat ourselves. We're the best team in the East and should be in the finals if we play to our best potential.

I’ve made the mistake of sleeping on Lebron before, but this year he seriously looks human.

They actually won 17 of 18 so that winning percentage is even worse is you exclude that. But my point still stands, they have so many negative personalities on that team. If Lebron's team was just our bench plus OG, I think he'd make the finals.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah it's funny but those fckers always seems to give us a tough time. I mean, we'll win but damn they're annoying.

I know this year feels different, but Lebron has gone to 7 consecutive finals out of the East.

This is on different teams with different casts.

HIs teams have a habit of going through a funk (never been this bad) mid-season before recovering to dominate the East in the playoffs.

So although this is the worst its ever been, Lebron's team is the team to beat until proven otherwise.
Game, blouses.

I know people say wait til playoffs and that this is the same old story, but they're closer to being out of the playoffs than they are 1st place in the conference.

If you're not, you're a fool.

Lebron almost won a title with Delly & TT.

You don't want anything to do with Lebron. He AVERAGED 32 points the ENTIRE playoffs last year.

Then you have JR Smith, Korver and Frye that can all light us up on any given day. Love, when does he return?
Wade scares me the least but he is still capable.

Anyways, lets wait until after trade deadline. March you will see the real Cavs, then we will have a better idea. But you still dont want to meet LBJ in the first or 2nd round.

LeBron and (maybe) Kevin Love will go off in the playoffs as usual but will the rest of the aging Cavs keep up?

Yep.

LBJ might be giving his teammates the feeling he's already abandoned them, but they have proven they can turn it on if they don't end up hating him.

Yes. They have Lebron. We don't.

I don't see anyone in the east beating them in the playoffs again.

I only fear what version of Lowry/Derozan we get in the playoffs, and Casey’s decision making.
