Gotta think Vogel will be canned this year if the team is eliminated in the first round or earlier. The transition to becoming a fast break team probably isn't up his alley.

Instead of calling this the Eastern Conference thread sholdn't it be called the Cleveland Cavs Conference Thread? I mean when you are getting 1-4 odds to WIN the conference- thats pretty overwhelming evidence that no one in the confernce can touch you.

No. That's gambling.
Yes, Cavs should be favorites because they have LeBron but overconfidence leads to regular season laziness, which leads to bad habits.
Wearing that target on your back every night takes its toll.


Overwhelming evidence is that the Cavs have ZERO titles.
Even if you win the EC but then lose again in the Finals, you've accomplished what?

Dude I'm concerned about our lack of 3 point shooting.

Without a doubt.
Opponents will back off and hope we shoot 3's.
Let's hope our players don't get lazy and accept those shots.
We have the talent to create much easier ones on most possessions.

On another note, did anyone get a look at Khawi Leonard?
The man looks like he's added 10-15 lbs of muscle.
The Spurs are loaded.

I would be more worried about a lack of players that can play defense. Honestly I do not think there is one above average one-on-one defender on the entire Heat team. I would bet at some point Winslow grows into a very solid defender but highly doubtful he makes an impact his rookie year- and after that it gets very shaky. Bosh plays some solid team defense and Whiteside can guard the rim but cant guard an opposing center with any kind of moves on the block to save his life.

Dragic and Wade make up perhaps the worst back court defense in the NBA.
