Cleveland wins it all. Ill take Lebron for the next 3-5 years, especially if he stays so healthy. Irving is better then Wade right now, Love is better then Bosh. Should be a great year. I expect another step forward from Golden St. I think its Cleveland vs Golden St for the championship.

Westbrook going off right now. 35 points with 6min left in the 3rd. He is going to average 30-35 until KD comes back, and he will take close to 30 shots a night. He loves it.

Cavs win 70 games if they stay healthy.

[herkhorse]

That's a stretch my friend. Its going to take a little time and their defense isn't very good. 60 wins is possible but the goal is be playoff ready.

I think opening night vs the Knicks was totally explainable and understandable. I think the team that won in Chicago on Thursday is the team we see all year. My finals prediction is Cavs vs Warriors.

With the east being the east, they get a free ride into the conference final. Derek Rose didn't play OT and most of the fourth quarter Friday and gasol is still learning his rotations in that system plus no jimmy butler. Cavs were life and death to best the bulls without their starting backcourt.

Cavs are thin, thin, thin. They aren't winning any final.

As crazy as it sounds, I am actually buying your golden st prediction in that I agree they will be good. Don't know about finals but they are top four in the west.

IMO they are definitely the team best suited to win a ton of regular season games and get home court throughout. I was impressed last week they won a back to back the 2nd night winning at Portland. Thats not easy. They need to stay healthy, like everyone else I guess. Bogut needs to stay healthy.

Check out the Cavs Blazers game right now....
65 points in the 1st quarter. Over 4min into the second and they have added 2 points to that 65 total.

I'd love for someone who watched that Cavs "offense" in the 4th quarter tonight to tell me how they're the favorites to win anything.

Right?!?!

The only thing worse than the cavs offense was the cav defense...specifically the backcourt. Kyrie Irving is perhaps the worst defender in the league.

[knickslions2]

Their defense is awful.

If you ask Chuck its not possible that he is worst then big game James.

[RockHardTen1985]

Melo playing great ball right now. 7 or 8 turnovers last night, 2 lazy to check. And a stellar 3 for 16 right now as the Knicks are losing by 12 to win less Detroit.

[RockHardTen1985]

Cavs about to get blown out again.... Wow
Ok maybe 70 wins was crazy. Ill drop it down to 50.

6 assists tonight. Six! They're gonna get that coach fired by Christmas if they keep this up.

Im not sure Blatt's job was ever safe. Unless they came out and started really hot or something. He was hired before Lebron signed...
Anyway, they have been awful the last 2 games.

Irving had zero assists. They got a lot of work to do

Irving is the key to this whole thing, in a sense..... He either wants to win and is the 2/2b or he clashes with Lebron and keeps gunning and doing dumb ****. If that's the case this team has no chance at all. I just assumed Irving would know his role. Maybe not. Waiters is enough of an issue, with his gunning and thinking he is the man, Irving cant be that also. Again I just assumed these guys would realize who they are playing with and fall into place.

Golden St w/ a legit statement game right now.
