We Could See Lebron vs Cavs In The Playoffs

[ForeverHeat]

If Miami gets the Number 1 seed, and Cleveland sneaks into the 8th seed (both of which are realistic possibilities), then we will see Lebron return to Cleveland in the first meaningful game since he left.

Would you guys be hyped to see that match up? And how do you think Cleveland fans would react? Keep it respectful in the futile hope that Lebron may return or crank up to boos to try to help their team win?

It's not out of the realm of possibility. The Cavs are 2.5 games out, but of their remaining seven games, six are against teams with records under .500.

They have far and away the easiest remaining schedule out of the teams vying for that final spot (Hawks, Knicks).

And, if they make it in and the Heat are the first round matchup, you can bet your @ss the crowd will be hyped. Believe it or not, the world doesn't revolve around James. It would be huge for a team this young to get that valuable experience.

Atlanta would basically have to lose out for this to happen. There's a better chance of Durant vs Seattle than LeBron vs Cleveland in the playoffs.

[Rodmantheman]

ESPN would hype the shit out of this match up.

wonder which idiot will walk onto the court this time to try to persuade kang to rejoin the cavs

Yeah of course they will cheer their team but will they target boos at Lebron? As they did during most of their previous meetings?

The Hawks very well may lose out. They're awful right now. If they go 2-7 in their final nine or worse, they're basically out. I see both the Cavs and Knicks finishing with 34 or more wins.

When you look at the Hawks schedule closing out, winning more than two games is going to be a serious struggle. Tonight's game against the Sixers is huge for them. If they lose that, they very well may lose out.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if the Hawks held on to that spot. I think it will either be the Knicks or the Cavs. The way they've played recently, the Cavs have a legitimate chance to win-out or at least get to 35-36 wins.

Yes. No reason not to. Although, those have calmed down in the last couple years.

I'd expect them to be a louder and more boisterous than the previous few meetings.

[Uncle Drew]

We have by far the easiest schedule of the three. Slim chances, but there's a chance at least.

Hawks are playing like a top 3 lottery team right now. 1-5 wins, might get help from Heat if they rest their players. Most likely 2 wins to be honest.

Knicks worse case 3-4 wins, best case 6 wins(win tonight, win all H games and steal one in TO).

Cavs 3-5 Wins.

What are do tiebreakers look like for them, incl 3-way tie?

Are the cavs good? Could LeBron go back to them?
