Calling it now: Cavs are winning the chip. Update: :((((((

[Shadow King]

In all seriousness, Philly in four.

If anything Philly should probably be ducking Cleveland if they want to be smart.

I think they are close to having both a top 10 offense and defense? I don’t think this happening would be that crazy, if they made the NBA Finals. The advanced stats say this team is really good, they have the best defense in the league

Idk if they win it this year, but they're definitely building something serious for these next few years.

Nobody in the East is fukking with us. We beat the 2 teams ahead of us and will beat Philly. I’m confident. I’m not worried about any team under us.

Not trying to get into stats or players but we’re number 4 in defense and improving. 3rd in offense and improving. That’s pretty damn good ratings. We can compete with the Celtics and win the east (which I’m sure the Eastern conference is going to come down to). Not to mention the amount of win streaks we’ve been on is ridiculous.

I’m not saying it’s all skill at all though.

All these trades help as well. Competition is even thinner (in the east). Our team chemistry is insane because we didn’t have to make ANY trades this deadline. That is 100% a good sign of trust in your team. We’re usually aggressive during trade deadlines.

Meanwhile the West is just full of dog fights. It’s not even okay to call a clear winner right now in the west. You literally have to wait a few weeks or so to even tell. It’s so many contenders it’s wild but there can only be one and I will bet the Cavs will show up.

My only concern from a Cavs fan perspective would be that this is the first year this particular roster is playing together, usually there's a breakout year followed by a championship run etc, I think a ring may be too optimistic but they're definitely talented as fukk, who knows how shyt will get in the playoffs though

Donovan Mitchell as your first or second option = NO CHIP.

We beat the bucks (without Giannis). But we gone play them boys two more times. If Mobley guards Giannis correctly by staying in front of him we good.

Bro regular season results don’t mean shyt in the playoffs.

It’s very rare for an NBA team to win a title without a superstar big or wing. Y’all have star guards but that alone won’t get you a title

Cavs have beaten every contender except Brooklyn which is no more.

One of the highest margin of victory in the league while having one of the tougher schedules and a fair share of injuries.

Boston and Milwaukee are not these scary juggernauts in the playoffs just because they made one god damn Finals both in which they got lucky breaks. Both are beatable teams and have taken their L’s pre-Finals over the last 5 years. The bias is crazy.

Donovan Mitchell as your first or second option = NO CHIP.

There’s no basis behind this he’s one of the greatest playoff scorers in league history.

If he scores at the level he has which is surely at the level of a “first option” and gets the support his cast is capable of giving him, the Finals are a strong possibility.
