January 24, 20179 yr Now more than ever. Nevermind the Cavs have the highest payroll in the NBA and they just signed Kyle Korver for nothing. Please, Cleveland! Help this poor man! #LeBronNeedsMoreHelp LeBron James sounds off after Cleveland Cavaliers' loss
January 24, 20179 yr Author I joke, but I think the Cavs are bored. They could win 10 more games, sit out the last 20 games or so, and be fine to make the finals. The East is that bad. For Cleveland, the playoffs are an easier grind than the regular season. Edited January 24, 20179 yr by bugatti

January 24, 20179 yr I hate that you started this before I could tag you in it. You may find it surprising that I disagree with him. Probably driving up Melo's stock so a "contender" in the East panics and makes a silly trade.
January 25, 20179 yr Cavs will most likely win the East. But if the Raptors do not suffer a major injury again that series will be closer than most of you think. Derozan and Lowry have taken their game to a higher level. On this topic I have no clue what LBJ is talking about.

It may be close in the sense that the Cavs will not take it serious, like last year, but it was never in doubt.

I'm not attempting to spell his name but he was a problem for the Cavs , just like Bogut was in the finals.

I don't think he even played in the series against the Cavs.

I don't think he even played in the series against the Cavs. You may be correct I'm doing this off memory I remeber he was playing well and the Raptors were rolling and I may be confusing it with the Bogut injury. Either way the Raptors weren't the same with him out. Cavs would of won, my whole point is I don't think the Cavs have a cake walk. They are the odds on favorite but there are some decent matchups.

Correct. Vulcounious (sp?) was doing his thing the round before but got banged up. He was a minor contributor in the ECF, if memory serves. Biyombo was the difference maker in the middle and catalyst in the Raptors' two wins, as rim protectors have always given LeBron fits. Biyombo was shipped to Orlando in the off season. The average margin of victory for the Cavs in the Eastern Conference finals was 113-85 (28 points).
January 25, 20179 yr Author All you need to know about the Raptors. Cleveland lost 5 of 7 and lost 1/2 game in the standings. Last night the Raptors (granted, without DeRozan), lost at home to the Spurs without their best player Kawahi, Parker, and Gasol coming off a back-to-back. Would love nothing more though than to see the Ratpors knock out the Cavs, though! I am sure LeBron will find a way to get a suitable backup to Kyrie to help him through the struggle. Maybe he can get Kyle Lowrie or CJ McCollum... how about Isiah Thomas? Guy needs all the help he can get.
