Training Camps Start Officially

[WiggyRuss]

Today and tomorrow for all teams. What do you realistically expect from your team? And just for fun, your best case scenario? Gonna go ahead and say the Lakers can win 30 games this year, and if our young team improves and plays better than expected, 35-40 wins. No way they make the playoffs though. All i want to see this year is progress and not giving up under any circumstances. I do not want to see anything linger from the Byron Scott days.

what do i realistically expect from the World Champion Cleveland Cavaliers?

I expect the World Champion Cleveland Cavaliers to, once again, be at the forefront of the league, employ the leagues best player, and make a deep run into the playoffs, and make the Finals. I think thats what MOST people EXPECT.

I cant say I EXPECT a title- since any team that has ever won the title has enjoyed a certain amount of good fortune- but I EXPECT that the World Champion Cleveland Cavs will be absolutely freaking unbelievably loaded talent wise once again- get the #1 seed in the East, make the Finals- and play at least 6 or 7 games with whoever makes it- and be the favorites to win it all as long as they are reasonably lucky with health.

Well does it give you some comfort that he's planning to retire after this season?

Marc Stein: Anderson Varejao says the Cavaliers have indeed offered him a championship ring but says he hasn’t decided yet whether to accept it.

No, because Paul and Blake could be leaving with him.

Ty Lue told this story at media day...

Apparently after Game 5 he went around and collected $100 from every cavs player and coach then hid it all in the ceiling of one of the coaches rooms in Oracle. He told everyone if they made it back for Game 7 and won the ship, he'd give the money back... which he eventually did.

Apparently he got the idea from Doc Rivers who did something similar in 2010

Paul Pierce on "super teams" and super teams in the NBA: "We're a super team, Golden State is a super team. And, as Derrick Rose said, the Knicks are a super team. So there's at least three."

How's the talent out there in NY? Bay Area is sadly lacking. Vegas is where it's at.

He said in in jest.

Or, he could still be high.
