2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[WiggyRuss]

Healthy Heat will cause problems with anyone in the East.
That being said, we could lose to several teams IMO.
It's that fragile.

i dont see you going after JJ unless Bosh was going to come back.

 

[WiggyRuss]

6'8 Hayward just got blocked by the 6'2 Avery Bradley. Unacceptable.

Now they allow the offensive rebound after Bradley misses a ft.

This is a perfect example of how you lose a game in the final 30 seconds after having a lead. Absolute disaster

I almost took Avery Bradley in the 3rd fucking round of our draft....hes really freaking good. underated player.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

i dont see you going after JJ unless Bosh was going to come back.

Why?
Godfather Riley got back under the luxury cap today.
We basically traded Beno for JJ, and still have 2 open roster sports we can fill soon.

I'd Love to see Bosh, but don't envision it, at all.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Richard Jefferson should get more playing time...his last 3 years from 3 he is OVER 40%...he can still finish at the rim and hes not a bad defender and always plays hard and is a great locker room guy....id give him an extra few minutes a game now that Andy is gone and now that Mo Williams is gonna be out 2-3 weeks.

So back to Wiggy point about the Cavs not losing more than 3 games out East in the playoffs this season.

Going by the current playoffs standings, they would have to play Indy, Miami, and Toronto (assuming higher seeds advance). I think Indiana and Miami both win at least 1 (both can take Cleveland to 6) with Toronto winning 2 with the possibility of taking Cleveland to 7.

Based on the current standings, I would say Cleveland will lose between 4 and 7 games. I'll settle on 5

 

[MiamiVice]

the irony of someone from Detroit saying that is just too much....

all though I do have to say I enjoyed Michigan- just about every summer when I was younger we went up to my Uncle Bob's estate north of Detroit in Clarkston- he was a retired exec for a car supplier---- he actually sold his boat to Bill Laimbeer- and when I say boat- i really mean yacht!

i live in miami... i grew up in michigan.. and moved.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That's exactly how I would describe the Cavs.

I don't think teams are afraid of, or fear the Cavs, but that still doesn't mean they can beat them.

 

[WiggyRuss]

why do you still route for the fucking pathetic loser of a school Michigan? I thought the most pathetic stuff of the last decade was when they got a bunch of shit for haivng too many practices and they STILL SUCKED! LOL

cmon man....at least jump to the seminoles or something- if youve been down there 20 or more years you are allowed!

 

[WiggyRuss]

I don't think teams are afraid of, or fear the Cavs, but that still doesn't mean they can beat them.

id agree with that- especially with those losses against Toronto and Boston lately- in both games the Cavs had solid 4th quarter leads with 5 minutes left (or less) and allowed those teams to win-- that definitely gives them a sense of hope- even if its false hope.

I gotta tell ya- I feel better about the Cavs path out of the East than at any time though

Chicago with Rose always hurt, Butler out with his knee injuries and Noah out....

Boston didnt make a move and i thought they were going to and had the assets to do so

same with Toronto

Hawks have definitely taken a step back

Heat are up and down and Bosh has his situation


there is simply no one out there that could give the Cavs a good 7 game series unless that team got some really good luck and the Cavs got some really bad luck.....

I agree I don't think teams fear them. But in all honesty I think the Cavs beat themselves a lot of the time. That's why I say they're fragile. You don't know which Cavs team you're going to see at times which also makes them most vulnerable to lose on any given night.

Seminoles?
That's trailer trash.

Put it this way.
Coral Gables is to Tallahasee as Miami is to Cleveland.

This is Cane country.

 

[Black Adam]

Which is surprising when you consider that Kyrie has proven to not be a good leader- in terms of leading his team to success when he was the #1 option.

well, to his "credit" it isn't like the guy's ever completed a season...

 

[Black Adam]

If they get bounced from the playoffs by the Celtics I will be laughing like crazy.

IF that does happen you'll be hearing some hellified laughter outta Torrance, too...

 

[Black Adam]

Cavs should win the East, but, perception right now is that it wouldn't be near as easy as last year.

agreed. the way things are shaping up they're gonna have to bring a lunch, so to speak, this time around...

 

[LAD]

And it wouldn't even be that funny had it not been for Wiggy coming here every day telling us how the Cavs are the next best thing to sliced bread. LOL

The way the Cavs were winded last Finals they most definitely better eat their Wheaties!

BINGO...!!!

some folks DO bring things like this on themselves...

 

[ChrisGar15]

Who's to say they did? Either way, good luck proving it.

So why would he take less money than his contract called for ? (He can't make up the $$$)

I agree there will be nothing in writing.

Cause he's greatful for his given opportunity here, and is gambling he'll have another one next year.

I agree. He gave up a bunch of money this year because of "future considerations" in the future.
