Cleveland has only a 2% chance


Basketball reference only gives Cleveland a 4% chance (GS has a 62% chance) Playoff Probabilities Report | Basketball-Reference.com

Espn also says only 4%.

Maybe 7 straight finals is way too much to ask .

Maybe but ESPN and Basketball Reference's models have similar projections. I wonder if this is the 2010-2011 Lakers situation all over again. We just assumed Kobe, Pau and Phil would handle business in the playoffs and return to the finals but then they got completely shytted on by Dirk 4-0.

I'm feeling 50-50 that this is the year Bron finally misses the Finals.

If that squad was essentially known for coasting and resting and turning on switches when needed, it would be more similar. Only real problem for Cleveland is that they're old head vets have been getting alot of burn recently.

So their problem is their players are getting too much minutes?

FiveThirtyEight also predicted something like a 70% chance Hillary Clinton would be President.

 

[Listen]

Odd. Wonder what they base it on. Must have defensive ratings factored in highly, since that's the Cav's weakest area.

Came in here just to say that

Then again, remember that there were people in this country who wanted to vote for Trump but knew it was the unfashionable and shyt even the morally incorrect thing to do but said they were not going to vote for him for fear of reprisal...
