They will be done forever? Shit I didn't know you could see into the future like that. Cool trick.

so your point is- the Cavs wont "coast" through the Eastern Conference as well as they did the last 2 y ears.

thats some profound shit man. Did you think that all up on your own? lol I know you dont have the balls to say they will actually lose- -- mostly becuase- you dont think they will either.

i mean- what this comes down to is a bunch of Cavs haters trying to jump on their adversity- and say -- HEY THE DEFENDING CHAMPS WITH LEBRON JAMES ARE HAVING A ROUGH MONTH

whoop-dee fucking doo.

Well, in fairness, didn't we just have a discussion a few weeks ago about how many games the Cavs will lose before reaching the Finals?

If I remember correctly, you asked over or under 5 games and I guessed 5 games exactly.

That wouldn't be my answer today. It would be over.

But, the Cavs would still go to the Finals.

I've lived there.
Trust me.
TONS better options for players.
James, of course could attract some to come.
My guess is if James were gone, Kyrie would bolt (as was expected before James came), and even if he stayed nobody who wasn't being overpaid would care about going there to play with him.

When James leaves, the cupboard of assets will be empty for years.

It will be as bad or worse then it was the 4 years he was here.

It's odd that you seem to be looking to the future about the Cavs. Of course they will not be good once LeBron has either retired or moved on to another team.

Sucks that Malachi Richardson won't be able to play in this 2nd half of the season with the rest of the young guys, I was wanting to see a lineup with him, Buddy, Skal, and WCS.

My number is leaning towards 6 with the current form of this team.

looking at the standings today they'd play the Heat in the first round. that one goes 6, possibly 7 if they get Waiters back 100%...

I'll go out on a limb & say they lose 12 games in the playoffs.

naw, it ain't even a nice place to visit unless you go to Guadalajara or Cabo...

Montreal maybe...?

Guadaljara, Cabo, Montreal? Racking up the frequent flyer miles?

Did they have good tequila there? When I was drinking I was a tequila fan.

lol i personally don't drink. just doing what i did a LOT for my buds back then...

play the part of designated driver...

 

[Bolts]

Hawks are now 3 games ahead of the 9th/10th seeds, weird to think they could miss the playoffs. I don't expect the Bulls or Pistons to be good enough down the stretch to take over that spot, but Atlanta could still fall to 8th.

Why is it odd, if directed at Wiggy?

It'll be 6 years this May for me not drinking.

 

[Black Adam]

now that i'm thinking of it, what IS Waiters' status...?

How can you talk that way about SportsHoopla's NBA guru? And the answer is it's not odd @ all.

They lose 4 in the first round

Heat in 6
