I want to know what is going on. What appeared to be one of the most well mannered players in the league is butting heads with the most stable franchise in sports.This Leonard situation is getting to be really odd to me. at first I thought people were sensationalizing in the media but I dunno
Could he be like KD? I remember people said he was this real "humble" superstar because he didn't talk, but then once he got to Golden State we found out that he's a real douche. Maybe this is the same.I want to know what is going on. What appeared to be one of the most well mannered players in the league is butting heads with the most stable franchise in sports.
Philly wins again. Cavs really might have to win out to hold onto that third seed.
Philly is a team on the move, upward that is. They plan to win 50 so says Embiid. I see Fultz had a reasonable first game back. Plan on fourth for us. That's what we get for all the unexplained losses. I'm on our side but lets face it.Philly wins again. Cavs really might have to win out to hold onto that third seed.
Not sure what's funny about this?
Philly is a game back and has the following closing stretch:
vs. NYK
@ ATL
@ CHA
vs. BRK
@ DET
vs. CLE
vs. DAL
@ ATL
vs. MIL
They legitimately could win every game.

Head to head results between two teams with the same regular-season record will become the first criterion. If two teams tied during the season, then whichever team won its division will be given the higher seed.
Cavs own the tiebreak no matter what, I think. Even if the season series ends up tied 2-2, Cavs have the better conference record.
It's funny because you're way, way too concerned about this.
But, I'll jump down the rabbit hole with you for a minute....
We have a one game lead with one game left against Philly.
If we win that game, we win the tiebreaker (3-1 vs Philly on the year).
If we lose that game, we tie Philly on the year (2-2) but we still win the tiebreaker if we win our division.

I think, chances are pretty good we win the tiebreaker one way or the other. So, our lead is more like 2 games instead of 1. Additionally, if we beat Philly in that H2H game, that essentially gives us a 3 game lead.
Our guys are starting to come back, LeBron has started turning it up a notch and Love has been killing it.
I like our chances to hold onto the 3 seed, not that it's very important or anything.
Yeah, Cavs own it since the tiebreaker between the two would be who won their division (at least, according to Lowe), so the Cavs have to go 8-1, or 7-2 if one of those wins is against Philly.
Oh yeah, I always forget the order of the tiebreaker rules. In any case, Cavs don't have to win out to clinch the 3 seed.
