Hopefully they don't play the Hawks in the playoffs.
Cotm should know to pit mitchell on an island defensively

Trae bouncing them from the playoffs would be surreal
I just don’t see them beating any of the top 5 squads in the league in a 7-game series. Even with HCA.

Who are the top 5 teams?
I'm confused about if they are the real deal yet and taking the wait till the playoffs approach to see if they are what this record indicates. They definitely need more exposure for what they've pulled off so far for sure.
This is unrelated but every single time I see Jarrett Allen, I think he's Gil Scott-Heron.

I feel like if Cavs win ring without Bron that diminishes his legacy. @3ball

I can see that to a point...unless the team makes multiple runs.
The big thing is going to be The Hall of Fame...we're never going to have a championship team without a hall of famer. The voters do have a bias for small market guys.
Last year in the prediction thread I said the Cavs were going to take out the Celtics...looks like I was a year off.
Coaching matters.
And Bickerstaff did a nice job. As he's doing with Detroit this year. But Atkinson has them playing on another level team-wise. He's gotten Mitchell to buy in and be less ball-hoggy, and Mobley has really emerged as a result.
Atkinson has quickly proven that what he did with the Nets was not a mirage.
* If COTY voting took place today, it may well be...
1. Atkinson
2. Bickerstaff
Detroit is actually above .500 right now. That's crazy.

Uh oh. You're going to send the Bronies into a panic. They're just PRAYING the Cavs don't win it all. :lol

Imagine that shit :lol
They are really deep and play so well as a team. Ty Jerome off the bench in particular is a baller. Only gets 17 minutes a game but impacts every one of them.
I think last night he had 8 straight points in the 4th with a couple of steals mixed in there as well. When a team is getting contributions like that from their 7th guy then you know things are going well.
Last night also showed what is still OKCs weakness: size and rebounding in big moments. Allen and Mobley killed them on the glass in the 4th and had overall great games.

Why? This makes no sense.
