2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

yah...AT HOME vs. the Wizards.....that could be a prime game for him to come back without a doubt. My only chance is the 28th at home vs. Brooklyn .....its frustrating because they said if the games mattered at all he would've been playing like the 14th...but thats their option to keep sitting him out.

Oh man, that would really suck for you if it happened on that day. Truth to tell, I think the longer they keep him out, the better for him. Not only let the injury he's out for heal 100%, but also the little nagging one's that never quite heal because they don't get the rest they need to heal.

[QUOTE="WiggyRuss, post: 7607358, member: 8255"]Eat a bag of dicks. "Its a well known fact" LOL...to who? you think the average fan had any fucking clue outside of Miami? Stop being so butt-hurt. Its embarrassing for you. Almost as embarrassing as the eventual ASS WHOOPING the Cavs will put on the Heat if the Heat are LUCKY enough not to shit their pants and make the postseason this year- unlike last year.[/QUOTE]

You keep bragging about the cavs beating the heat in a series like anyone said Miami were better. THE CAVS SHOULD BEAT EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN THE EAST IN A BEST OF 7 SERIES. The cavs will be the biggest failure for a title contender in recent memory if they fail to make the finals so bragging about how the cavs should/will beat Miami in a series have you looking like the clown that we all know you are.

Can't remember the last time we destroyed Boston like this. Our games are usually very competitive.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Has IRving played a game yet?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Reading these comments is laughable......Whiteside is better than any center on the Cavs roster.

Not sure what it has to do with anything, but Cavs and Heat have very near the same number for strength of schedule so far this season.
Cavs .493 Heat .477.

And, as BK pointed out, it was mandatory for the Heat to pile up wins now because Jan/Feb are brutal on paper.

And really, worrying about stomping the Heat?
The prize for that is what?

If you can't beat each and every of the other possible opponents through 4 rounds of playoffs this season then your team is the much bigger bust regardless of when or where the Heat is knocked out.

Whiteside is a monster, and still improving.
Yes, he's has flawed parts to his game, but what man of his size doesn't?

Nothing can stop him but himself.

And if he played on the Cavs....Wiggy wouldn't be pointing out those flaws.

I highly doubt James would have left any Heat roster had this version of Whiteside been on it.
If Whiteside played with James his stats would be staggering.

you could be right. one thing is he would've had less injury issues than with his current teammates...at least that would've been my guess...

Wade/Bosh have missed a lot more games than Irving/Love the last 2+ years. (even without Irving playing at all yet this year)

Irving/Love both got hurt in last year's playoffs though. (Wade did not get hurt during last year's playoffs.)

The Heat only had 1 player who played more than 72 games last year. (and he is no longer with the team)

Bosh was because of a blood clot. fluke for that one. it ISN'T part of his track record, though...unlike Kyrie...

you think a Cavs/Heat series is just the same as any old regular series? CMON. I GUARANTEE You every Cleveland fan out there wants to see the Cavs play Miami and squash them in the playoffs.

And Cleveland is doing all this DESPITE missing a ton of guys- some games 3/5ths of their starting lineup---- The Heat - like I said- not only have played an insane 10 of 13 games at home- against pretty crappy teams- but have missed guys like Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gobert, Kyrie Irving- which is also lucky.

I know- personally- and I KNOW many Cavs fans share the same sentiment- that we were dissapointed Miami shit down their leg last year- and hope that playoff series happens. ILL GUARANTEE YOU Big Dan G. and every person in the NBA league office would LOVE to see that series- it would be very entertaining- at least for Cavs fans.

the Heat are gonna regret giving Dragic that deal

No. It's not the same, but its not that big of a deal, at least to me.
It's not like the old Wade vs James to me, because Wade is a shell of his old self most games.

I personally think our next leap of growth will prob be after Wade is gone which I'm hoping is next year unless he wants to play for a fair amount of money.

And once again, as far a our schedule, try looking at you're own.
Very similar.

Difference is you SHOULD be better , plus our roster is still figuring out how to play together.

1) Cleveland is SUPPOSED to beat Miami and every other team in the East in a series. What are you not understanding? Everyone would predict the Cavs in 5 or 6. You're making a huge deal that every Cavs fan want to see them beat Miami in a playoffs. Great for you guys. The rest of the world would expect it.

2) Of course you would have wanted to play Miami last year when even if they were healthy, they were at best a 7 or 8 seed. Only you would have want to play Miami last year in the playoffs with the injuries they had. Other Cleveland supporters such as @gordontrue would rather play Miami this year when they have a much better team than they had last season.

3) Is there some guarantee that Houston, Sacramento, or Utah would have beaten Miami if those guys played? You're acting like those 3 teams are the freaking Warriors. 2 of those 3 teams likely won't make the playoffs and the other has played like shit all year long even with Howard. Is it the Heat fault that Houston is resting Dwight during B2B sets? Funny how last year when the Heat had to play several games without Bosh, Wade, and others you would never use injury as a reason but now that the Heat happened to play a few games against teams with 1 player missing it is the biggest deal. I also love the way you completely ignore that Wade missed that Utah game was out as well.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Whiteside is a beast. 14.5ppg, 11.1rpg, and 4.8 in just 29mpg? That's siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.
