The rehabilitation of Kyrie Irving from a fractured kneecap is going smoothly, but he is almost certainly not going to be ready for the Cleveland Cavaliers' opener on Oct. 27.
Irving could remain out until January.
Irving underwent surgery in early June with an expected recovery time of three to four months.
The Cavaliers want to bring him back slowly without risking a setback, with the goal of being at full strength entering the playoffs.

Imagine Lebron playing a Game 7 as a Cav in the Heat's building - he would definitely lose his edge under pressure.
Vegas should adjust their odds - the 2016 title is either staying in the Bay or taking a trip to the Alamo down in San Antonio, Texas

I still think Cavs and Bulls are the top 2 teams to beat in the East

PF Bulls def have the advantage. They have Pau who had a career year last year, Gibson who could start on some teams, and Mirotic who has talent. C is eh, I'm still not sold on Whiteside, Amare you never what you'll get, and Birdman is good but not anything special.

C Heat/Even (We'll see which way it goes later in the season)
