I laugh at all the people who think losing one game to the Knicks changes anything. Cavs will still finish as a top 2 seed, there offence will just be too good. At least wait 15 games before even taking anything into consideration. Raptors have a good chance at winning a top 3 seed but lets not get carried away and say they have a chance at the 1 seed because of one game.

We need an upgrade at SF to accomplish that.

When you have an agenda you strike when there is opportunity. The Heat team which cruised to the finals vs Dallas started 9-8.

like who? please give me an example of who we need at sf in order to be elite… and don't say someone like kd, anthony or lebron because they make ANYONE elite…

that being said, my argument was that we can be elite because our team is so balanced… we don't necessarily have a lebron james, but we have a team of very good players that compliment each other… we don't have any glaring weaknesses as a team…

How the heck did Westbrook injure his hand on that play? Didn't really see anything major on that play. Weird...

CrymeTime · Post #692 » by **CrymeTime** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 3:54 am

Could you imagine if both Durant and Westbrook our out when the thunder come to town.

I feel sorry for anyone that paid a premium price for those tickets.

I will actually be so disappointed. I love seeing the raptors win but not necessarily at the expense of seeing the game's best players injured. And not at the expense of premium prices.

The cavs are gonna struggle in the first couple games because they have a first year coach and brand new players who haven't built chemestry ... The people who thought they would challenge 72-10 were unrealistic

But LeBron always goes off against us, he always folds like a cheap lawn chair against the Knicks for some odd reason.

Sent from my SM-N900W8 using RealGM Forums mobile app

Melo actually defends him really well. Most of the time, LeBron can just overpower his opponent and if a PF takes him, just out-quick him. Melo isn't as strong or fast as LeBron but he also has a great combo of speed and strength and can put up more of a fight than pretty much anyone else.

It was beautiful. I'm pretty pleased to know that the Cavs are beatable. This should be a fun year for us.

Just wondering, how much are these premium ticket prices?
