March 21 at Brooklyn
March 23 at Brooklyn
March 26 Houston
March 28 at Atlanta
March 30 Knicks
April 2 Indiana
April 4 at Orlando
April 6 at Orlando
April 9 Charlotte

I say 6-3 at best the rest of way. I think that both teams will be trying to send a message on March 30.

All bad teams. Which is our speciality. We’ll probably go on a 9 game winning streak then get smacked into reality once the playoffs hit and we face real competition.

It sure seems more likely than 8-1. But looking at the schedule, if we sweep Brooklyn, all the rest of the games seem winnable.

We're 16-20 on the road this season and have 5 on the road left.

NFW we go 8-1.

We're 16-20 on the road and have 2 left against the Nets who are fighting to stay out of the play in and one against the Hawks who smoked us a couple weeks ago in Atlanta. It would be surprising to be 2-1 in those but it's possible. After that we have a home game against the Knicks that's probably close to a pick'em. We'll be huge favorites in all the rest. So I'd say 7-2 is most probable but anywhere from 6-8 wins is very possible, though if the Knicks and Nets fall out of the race for the 4th seed we could drop some the last week.

Allen is in tier 2 because he is one of the best defenders in the league. Up there with Bam and above Turner.

I agree that Mobley may not become a top 5 offensive player, but he might get to be top 10 and if he is DPOY, that is good enough to be a top 5 guy in the league.

With Darius and Donovan, especially with improvements I believe Darius will make as he gets older and more aggressive, that is going to be enough to be perennial contenders with moves around the margins

LeVert has been on fire via bpm. Garland rebounds from another b/b stinker(one of his worst of the year), Mitchell struggling, probably needs rest, Okoro doing nothing positive and looks bad next to Stevens, Mobley small improvements.

I think 50-51 games will be the ending. Too inconsistent, not enough depth. JA eye injury. Enough to get the 4th seed. Improved over 2022.

The Cavs need to scrap this $#!+ colored brown on the floor and jerseys. The court floor looks atrocious.

Speak for yourself. I like all the uniforms this season.

Really?? Damn.

Random question to the thread: if Butler becomes available and he can be gotten without giving up too much.. do you?

Cement · Mar 18, 2023

Might as well start discussing Cavs-Knicks in the 1st round as there's about a 98% chance that's going to be the 4-5 matchup.

Great storyline.

I can't wait for the all the media stories - "Unlike the Cavs, the Knicks declined to sacrifice their future for Donovan Mitchell and now they are matched up in the first round."

We better win that series as the media will be absolutely insufferable (even more than they already are to non-East Coast teams).

Well, yeah. He's an all-star level player and could solve the small forward gap.

Without giving up too much? I assume that means none of the Big Four. Which means at least LeVert and maybe a draft pick or two.

What does not too much mean to you?
