The Cavs are one serious lebron injury way from being a lottery team.

Without decent young players or cap flexibility.

They could have had. But they thought it was a good idea to draft Bennett and then trade Wiggins for Love.

Because Gilbert is the greatest :thumb:

show some respect, Shaqdaddy. he's a self-made BILLIONAIRE who can simply out-spend every other owner in the league...salary cap/repeater tax be damned...:lol:

One important note on the Cavs record without LeBron.... think about when LeBron usually sits out... its in Back to back games on the road.

Since the Mozgov/JR trade last season... The Cavs are 3 - 6 without LeBron.

5 of those 6 losses were road games on the end of a back to back.

What type of record do you guys think most teams would have in games without their best player on the road in a back to back?

It depends who their supporting cast is to be honest with you

Anyone think the Heat can take out Boston?

I'm a Heat fan but its going to be tough if they did meet. I honestly don't think they'll play each other though. Boston probably end up 3rd while Miami will likely be in the 4/5 spot.

Still some games between the 3-4-5 teams, but I feel like the Hawks have the Raptors and Cavs still, both of whom will likely be resting guys, and they might be able to stay in third and I don't have them winning a playoff round.

I'm terrified of a Toronto-Boston playoff series.

I would love a Heat-Toronto series. Tell Boston to tank to get that 4 slot. Would you really rather Cleveland over Boston?

It's funny how Boston final 3 games come against the 3 teams their fighting with for HCA. Should be interesting. Unless Miami drop the ball and lose against Orlando in this home and home set over the weekend, I feel like they should have a 4-0 week which would leave them at 48 wins which should be good enough for the 4th seed at least since they own the tiebreaker over Atlanta and Charlotte.

Maybe I'm confused - if Miami and Boston are 4-5, and Atlanta loses to Charlotte in a 3-6, wouldn't Cleveland get Charlotte and Toronto get Miami/Boston?
