Cleveland Cavalier 2017-2018 Season

at least Kansas is coming back?

You flipped over at the perfect time

This game was solid until the 4th, then brutal. Cavs play this way, they're not getting out of the 2nd round.

21 shots and 4 assists is not what we need out of our PG

Especially if others aren’t picking up in the assist column

Yep, not going to lose my mind in January.

Agree. However, I’ll go on record and say I don’t think they make it. Especially if they don’t hang on for the 1 seed. They could have 3 legit opponents in a row. If they are the 1 seed, I still see Spurs, Rockets, Thunder and TWolves will as too much. Not sure who comes out of West, but I have a feeling it’s not GSW this year.

If the Cavs don't add a piece, neither GSW or the Cavs may be in the Finals. Yeah, I know "it's only January....yada, yada, yada (no reference to you specifically, but I'm sure someone will say it)" but the Cavs are an old team and there's no Kyrie to help bail them out. This is just not a good basketball team right now. They can right the ship but I just don't think it happens this year.

So far my prediction is lining up pretty well.

-Cavs struggle

-Cavs find their stride

-IT returns and cavs struggle again. Adversity for the team and reports come out about QQ drama shit.  Lebron is leaving blah blah. (insert teams in the East) will knock them out. 

-Playoffs come and they dominate East and people say "dats cuz teh east is weak!"

Edit: I will be surprised if GSW and the Cavs aren't playing round 4 of their finals matchup.  

Curry and Durant are too dominant for any team to beat in a series.

If the Cavs get to the Finals which, as constructed, I don't think they will, I don't think they even have a punchers chance against Golden State. Just heard on the radio supposed "grumbling" in the locker room that, unlike years past, this group doesn't think they are constructed to make a run.

And here's the article....

Sounds like Jan in Cleveland.

Until Lue gets his head out of his ass and plays Frye and sits TT, the Cavs will struggle.  

Tristan is the worst contract in professional sports.... Well, the worst behind what the Phillies gave Carlos Santana lol

So the Cavs say they are going to trade.  Who do they get?  Who do they get rid of?

I doubt we trade anything and instead go the route of the buyout trash heap.

If I'm the cavs, I go in on Cousins and lol when he BFs the GSW to another Cavs championship.

Yup.

You guys notice how all of these "grumblings" are normally near the trade deadline? No doubt in my mind at this point this is manufactured BS from Lebron's team to pressure the Cavs FO to make a move.  They have done so every single year.

You know he's behind it 100%. He knows they can't beat the Warriors, as constructed.

Just hope he doesn't screw up their future AND bolt after this season after getting his way due to the passive/aggessive whining. I frankly don't care if he leaves but I don't want him screwing over the franchise (again) in the process. Kind of tired of his constant drama and holding the franchise hostage with the ""will he stay or will he go" crap, year in and year out.

He already screwed up the future by not co existing with Irving setting that trade in motion.

I'm not ungrateful for the fact that LBJ came back and broke the title drought, but for me, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze anymore. Every January, "drama, drama, drama." You don't see this shit with other championship contenders (i.e. Golden State) every season.

He has been a spoiled brat since his HS days in getting whatever he wants, i.e. a Hummer, free jerseys at a store, etc.    

He got you all a title so just be grateful.....

At this point, I'm not extremely concerned about him leaving.

One, if he does, thanks for the title and good luck and two, where is he going to go?

There's not a team he can join up with, in my eyes, that will take down the Warriors. His bet bet in the East is probably Philly but they aren't beating the GSW's. Join up with KI in Boston? LOL, no. Go West and hook up with the T-Wolves? Still aren't beating the Warriors. Lakers? Two words...LaVar Ball...Nope. Rockets or Spurs? Still don't think they beat GSW's.

The sad fact is that wherever he goes, he probably doesn't have a realistic shot of taking out that team, including if he stays in Cleveland.
