Toronto and Miami both have the Cavs number

You got others like

Boston
Charlotte who are red hot
Atlanta
Indiana
Chicago or Detroit

You really can't pencil in the Cavs this season

Miami is absolutely stacked to the rafters, with a potential Bosh return

And Toronto is lighting it up

Cavs have the two best players in the east and 3 of the top 10 players in the east.

No, they have Le3 and a couple frauds whove literally never won a playoff game without riding Lebron's sack.

Le3 literally split a pair of finals with the Spurs by himself and took the Warriors to 6 games with a d-league cast in the last 3 years. The East is even stronger now.

It's an absolute murderers row. If Lebron gets to the finals this year he moves to 2. No questions. I know haters are sweating it. Be ready to deal with it.

Nobody is proven except the Cavs. It's Cavs and then everybody else but the Cavs have shown a little slippage recently.

Irving isn't the 2nd best player in the east. Love is a good player but he's not a great fit imo. The Cavs also don't have very good depth. They're still the best team in the east but they are certainly vulnerable.

I actually think the Raptors are going to be tough in the playoffs. The Heat seem to be coming together at the tight time. Even if Bosh doesn't return, they may be poised for a deep playoff run. I could see either of those teams challenging Cleveland.

He didn't beat the Spurs by himself in 2013. To name a few of the other contributions, Wade averaged 20/5/4/2/1 on 48%, Bosh's PnR defense was elite, Allen hit "the shot", and Battier shot 6/8 from 3 in game seven. Lebron was great but it took important contributions from several players to win that series.

The 6th seed in the west would be out of the playoffs right now in the east.

Cleveland is absolutely stacked but I don't trust a lebron-led team to make it far.

Miami has an elite PG and decent spare parts and should make it out the East.

Really neede Noah to chip in 20-25 minutes healthy to have any kind of chance against the better teams.

That doesn't even make sense. Are you saying that Lebron, Kyrie and Love aren't basketball players?

Wow the east looks just as crap as ever:facepalm

I think Miami could take out the cavs but depends who they get in the previous round/s and the final seedings..

Realistically the rest of those teams are garbage. Imagine any of them vs the Spurs or warriors it would be a brutal sweep..

every year we talk like this. Lebron's teams always look beatable in regular season only for them to raise their level in the playoffs.

As it should be due to their entire history.

For those that watch the Raptors, there are various encouraging signs that the soft/weak and incomplete team issues they've always faced are finally changing though. Few in US are actually watching raps games regularly so haven't noticed this.

For example, I say Bismack Biyombo, you say 'hahahaha', but then that proves who's been watching.

This post will be ignored.


The east has been soooooo much better this year but morons on Ish are still talking about "durrrrr da least".

The East has been more competitive in years past but I still believe the WCF is the NBA Finals again this year. Spurs/Warriors would be the dream match-up.

In the East, its still the Cavs. Celtics have peaked and injuries are hitting them at the worst possible time now. Best I think we can hope for is a home series that we can win before a 2nd round bounce unless the match-ups are exceptionally favorable.

Only teams that can kill tha cavs are the healthy Bulls and healthy heat. Everybody else are not going to do shit in tha playoffs. I do like pistons but it's not their time yet. Celtics and raptors are going to fail again, and maybe in the 1st round again too. I don't believe in the pacers and lucky hornets either.
