I guess Lou has decided to remain with the Clippers. That leaves us with Evans whom I don't really care for but would not mind as an offensive addition.

Roland17:


If I were Dan Gilbert, T. Lue, I would desperately hope Bron leaves after this season because it gives your franchise a lot more clarity and chance to really determine what path to rebuilding the franchise you would follow. They would definitely get tons of players for Bron. IT would also be hoping Bron leaves so he can convince the Cavs to build around him.

As for my Celtics, I have to agree that we are still very short on the offensive end (especially perimeter scoring), including rebounding. There are talks of getting "sweet Lou" from the Clippers and we are at the verge of signing Monroe. If those pan out, we may have to rely on a stifle defense to push us past more offensive laddered teams. That being said, the eastern conference is stronger and more competitive than Bron enjoyed last season. If by any chance the Cavs are matched against the Pistons, Bucks or even Miami in the first round, then I would not be shocked if they are bounced because those teams are young, with length and power rebounders.

Baba, as it stands, I would take my chances against this Cavs team if we meet in the post season. I am that confident about my chances against this team. As great as Bron has been in his career, he has arrived the inevitable stage where he can not do it alone. He needs players around him to be better than average on most nights. Take a look at the last night's loss against the Magic, which is reminiscent of other losses including the loss last week.

Against the Magic Bron scored 25, IT 11 or so and the next highest was 12. Against the Rockets Bron scored 11, IT and JR both poured 12. So you can see that teams are going to force the others to beat them whenever they face the Cavs and it is working because the others lack the creativity, pace, clutch or power to carry the Cavs.

Bro,there has never been a better chance for you guys to take over the East dan dis season...Celtics are at the top of the game with a great coach,good management and playing great....ona still one add sweet Lou??.. ..

If LeBron leaves he leaves for nothing. His contract runs out this summer.

How will IT convince the Cavs to build around him shooting bricks?

The Celtics? LOL Toronto should be the team you're looking at not the Cavs. A 40 year old LeBron on the worst team in the NBA will sweep the Celtics because y'all are his bitches. So no he's not going anywhere, he will remain in the east and haunt you until he retires.

Well, if I am going by his most recent interview, then he is finishing this season with the Cavs. As for your rants, I would wait until the match up happens because I have heard worse mystic hype from you this season. The Raps are probably the team with the most talent and balance to win the East, however, I would take my chances against them.

Other than that, I have no reason to engage you in vulgarity.

DevdanSanguine:


Both the Cavs and warriors are facing stronger opposition than ever. The warriors because their opponents got better and the Cavs because they are the worst team in the league.

For some reason I believe the Cavs will turn it on come playoff. This is a very good team just not showing interest.
Warriors imo lost something in their style of play and no toughness. If you really look at the season well, Rockets seems to be the better team and would bet my money on Rockets beating the warriors in a series.

Decale:
Very happy OKC got that win at Oracle Arena, more impressive without Roberson, Melo and early foul troubles with Adams. I hope this can make Billy Donovan try out Melo from the bench. They're lacking in that department. One more trade should suffice too...


Later, someone will tell me role player Klay Thompson is having a better or on par season with PG13 just because he's an efficient 3rd scoring option who plays for the best thing in the League.

Lol..... Klay is not close. Maybe pre KD but there's no way he's close to PG13 this season most especially.

So you mean this Cavs team is a really good team not showing interest while it's the Warriors who are showing interest but maybe have lost something in their play style and have no toughness.

Either you're mistaking the Warriors for the Cavs or just don't know what you're saying.

The Warriors have lost interest nothing else hence the turnovers and bricking open shots.

The guy said he will bet money last year that Cavs will sweep GSW. Don't educate just laugh.

Any time anybody beats the warriors, it tells what will happen in the playoffs but flip the table and the argument will change.

See how OKC became championship caliber team after losing 3 straight games. Then GSW became whipping boys because Kerr was using McCaw to mark RW.

I actually came here to post about Timberwolves and Cavs game. So Lebron has to hit 5/7 3s, score 37 points, have 11 rebounds, 15 assists and 1 huge block plus a buzzer beater for Cavs to beat Timberwolves a home 140-138.

Hmmmm. I am now beginning to fear for them.

LOL to think there are some NBA fans who don't know the shot clock doesn't start on an inbound until a player takes possession of the ball just sums up why you should never be triggered by online comments.

Yesterday's game was stale.. The boys are really bored and playing like it.. Curry is the biggest culprit. We'll definitely get it going after all star games

Chairman calm down, not all prediction is right and doesn't mean u can't still make another.
I don't care if McCaw is guarding Russel, it could have easily been a genius decision as well. Fact is warriors lost twice already by big margin to this OKC team. You brought up OKC losing three in a row, how does that affect the fact they destroyed the Warriors?
They found a way to play the warriors and it will get worse for gsw in playoff with okc style. Don't even get me started with Rockets.
Let's pray the western contenders are injury free this time around

I'm not even looking at the recent losses. Do I think they will lose to Denver, Jazz etc in a series? NO

Okc and Rockets are the teams I believe will come hard for them especially the Rockets.

Both teams will give tough competition, even a kid knows this. Say something new or address the Warriors Cavs blunder you made there. The Cavs can't play defense, have dysfunctional roster but they are the bored ones while the Warriors are the ones looking to have no toughness and have lost something in their playing style because we lost to OKC. You're right about the Warriors!! But this is called Boredom not what you said for the Cavs.

LBJ is the single reason why i wont give up on the cavs yet come playoffs..What a game last night....

Manutd19:

My brother, I don leave that talk. I no dey argue anything again with people wey just wan argue cos they get withdrawal symptoms. People wey get one cataract eye dey see the margin...


After seeing Cavs-Wolves being close, sleep sure pass cos I know say Cavs go win am. Anything close game, Cavs sabi or should I say Lue sabi control that situation. LeBron played beautifully...


And yeah I agree with you, Warriors' threat lies with a healthy opposition. I no wan see that cakewalk they get for their 2 championships again, before we hear say person don injure for playoffs before facing Warriors. An injury free West should drench Warriors and if they make it out alive (hopefully not), then beating any of the Eastern team should be the easy part.

aliondo:

If LeBron's head is in it, we shall see a different Cavs team come playoff.

Western playoff would definitely be interesting. Guards like Westbrook and CP wants a piece of Curry badly. They hate all the attention he gets as both believe they are better and only a playoff series is their chance to make their point.
So those who thinks Warriors lost cos they are bored, WB, CP ain't small boys to not understand it matters most in post season.

Switch it up real quick

Please make more predictions let me be laughing.

If OKC got blown out it would have been because Melo was injured and Andre Roberson was out abi no be so? Was that not the reason they lost 4 straight games according to you people?

Another fact is, that Warriors lost twice by huge margins to SAS last season and went on to sweep them in the playoffs. Hope you see why we don't give a rat's arse about what you feel.

Yes, I brought up how they lost 4 straight games to show you don't make predictions in isolation. If Lakers and other minnows can beat this OKC team, you'd have to be a big fool to then bet against the Warriors.

But then this is coming from you who saw Cavs beat GSW by a point in Dec (even when KD had to be fouled on the last play for that to happen) and still said GSW will get swept by them. The same you who saw us beat them by 35 in January and I did not hear the "huge margin" that has now become your excuse for OKC.

I don't remember you telling us we led Rockets by 14pts (3rd Q) and lost by 1 after Draymond gets hurt and KD makes a buzzer beater to win the game but is only microseconds late. I have not seen your take on the game we beat them by 10 in their home this same season that we should not get you started on. I don't also recall how this wonderful Rockets team led by 17 final game and few mins into the last Q were down by 3 to the same GSW.

So if these little pointers don't show you that you are just looking for hot takes like they do in a point and kill joint, I don't know the nonsense you are talking about.

SmooshCHN:
Switch it up real quick

When we beat SAS 3-1 in 15/16 it was because Pop was hiding his hands for playoffs. When they lost to OKC the talk was we were lucky to have dodged SAS. But if someone else had beaten us 3-1 in the regular season, it would have showed that they figured us out. We can never win genuinely.

We beat OKC 4-0 in the regular season in 15/16 and were down 3-1 to them in the playoffs but regular season is a strong determinant about how the playoffs go as long as GSW are involved. For Cavs, na, they can finish dead last in the east and will be able to flip it for a playoffs they would not have even qualified for. LOL

It is the dumb NBA coaches who saw what you did not see Oh Clairvoyant one. I see how Cavs have won the trade against the Celtics. Your non-cataract eyes saw it too waaay ahead of time.

And now, while we are seeing things, I guess we also saw the super-all star in PG when his team lost 4 straight games. I would be disappointed if people deserved all-star spots for scoring 38 and 50 against GSW. Even though I know that is the argument you have been making since you defended Sweet Lou and PG so vociferously.

Pity RW did not score 34 on GSW by that time. Your non-cataract filled eyes would have voted him all-star starter over Curry as well.

And I'm just waiting for Deandre and Kemba like.

DevdanSanguine:

The double standards no be here.. They are so sure when it's the Warriors and it's something for other contenders. Dude said CP3, Westbrook are gunning for Curry cos they are tired of the attention he gets meanwhile just speaking truth from they're heart. Lost 4 in a row, best the Warriors and now OKC is a big challenge. I no dey answer them again.
