The Cavs are old man. They are not an improved team at all. Their only hope is IT somehow coming back and approximating what he did last year (when he was healthy, and in a much better system). Not happening. It'll take a herculean effort from Lebron to even be solidly ahead of the Wizards.

The C's without probably their best 2 way player was feasting on them after they got their faculties together after the injury. Second half wasn't close.

You just totally disregarded every other team in the East. Everyone is going to be shocked in 2019 and 2020 when its not Boston (obvious, typical prediction ) running the East. Not saying its the Cavs either, they look trash right now.

Nikka the cavs was up 15-18 for almost three quarters and got board after half, stop playing defense and started shooting up anything ....don't kid yaself. The cavs are way improved....having Jeff green come off the bench is an improvement just by itself. Cavs are way better.

Then what does that have to do with me saying they lost a potential Finals appearance this year?

And the C's are obviously set up well for the next 5 years or so. Longer if Tatum and Brown emerge as all stars. They are 100% candidates to be next up in the East. :mjlol:Real courageous taking the field over the C's though.

I disagree, what Boston has over everyone is one of the best coaches in the league. Tatum, Brown are more mature. Kyrie hits that prime, Hayward going to be back to himself hopefully. Rozier finds his shot.

Bucks are cool but Giannis can't do it by himself. 76ers are a question mark.

No one else in the east has the talent.

You really think they looked improved out there? No one could stop Brown going to the rim. Tatum cooked in the 3rd. Smart was eating in the post. Rozier and Smart were getting strips/steals with ease. The 2nd half was not close, and the game was close despite the C's mentally reeling from the Hayward injury and Bron dominating. The Cavs just looked flat out old to me.

I see brehs learned nothing from the Warriors.

Back in 2014 after my nikka Bron got ran out the gym and returned to CLE i was like "Oh shyt hes on a younger Squad with an Iverson (KI) and white Bosh :wow: Spurs gon get it in 2015"


....only for the fukking Warriors to deebo the league out of nowhere.


Since then, i look at every team as a possibility except lottery teams as potential threats.

The cavs didn't look old to me....just not reg. season ready. None of these players have really played with each other before. And still they looked improved to me. I saw blocked shots from players other than Bron or TT....I saw d Rose gettin to the rim at will and Jeff green doing what he wanted attacking the rim also(just needs to finish)...d Wade is going to play better. Look at it this way....they have that veteran age lineup, gave up an eighteen point lead and still locked down in the end and executed big plays to win the game(against their conference rivals first night out)......they will only get better. But I respect ya view....age cannot be denied.

Gotta say man that Hayward injury was gruesome.

Watching the replay, really poor form to try and support yourself on a landing like that. Rear leg, bent, and you have forward momentum. Just take the fall.
