The Cavs are not afraid.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

The Raptors weren't beating the Nuggets, no matter how bad they look.

That's just not a thing that happens.

Actually, its pretty embarrassing to be losing to the nuggets this season, Raptors are choking hard.

Broken leg/foot for Taylor Hendricks when he was finally starting to play well.

I don't see anyone in the West doing any better.

BOS clears everyone until proven otherwise. There's only one team imo that stands in the way of a THREE peat and that's OKC.

I don't think the Thunder will be quite ready this year. This season will be likely another high level learning experience of what it takes to compete at that level. Ironically the same way BOS' guys had to. But BOS is absolutely repeating this season unless health prevents it.

OKC will be the only team imo possible of preventing an arguable "dynasty".

Some things just aren't in the cards no matter how the teams look. Like TO beating Denver, or the Clippers winning a chip.

It's no excuse but I honestly believe we're tanking tbh (and personally love it lol), I mean I don't see why we wouldn't bring back Scottie just from taking an elbow to the face unless there's real damage and I have my doubts about how bad the injuries of IQ, Jakobe or Brown are but it's whatever lol Majority of us are praying for a top 5 pick this season.

I honestly think the plan was to tank with Darko all along. Him and all of his assistant coaches are development specialists. They aren't known tacticians. So Darko makes all kinds of errors. If he doesn't learn on the job I think he's out once we get enough pieces from draft. Judging by the way we drafted this year, Masai isn't looking to tank a long time. All the kids are fairly mature.
