Frankly, if both GS and Cleveland make it back, that just might be the first Finals I completely miss since LeBron's first trip in '07. The only way he makes it back is if the East crumbles in front of him in true mental midget dashion. Cleveland getting smacked around, while perversely gratifying, will ultimately do nothing for me as a viewer. 8 minutes ago, Renegade7 said: They'll just be the new villain if LeBron goes there.

Then KD joined, so if the Warriors some how lose, then LeBron joins the warriors and I’m all good.

The Celtics are too young and they can't score. They're not ready to take down Cleveland. The Raptors are frauds. There is zero chance they'll beat Cleveland. The Wizards are not healthy and we're not a mature enough team to beat Cleveland either. LeBron would do what he always does and average 35-10-10 on us and single-handedly kill us. Cleveland is super vulnerable but they're the favorites to win the East by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, that's option #1 (which I don't see either). They may have to lose Capela or Gordon to pull it off. https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/12/11/16761746/lebron-james-rockets-free-agency-salary-cap-how NBA should nuke this idea from orbit, imo, but I don't think CBA is going to let Silver do it.

Renegade7 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) A healthy Wall and the Wizards can beat the Cavs the way we're collectively passing the ball right now. A healthy Wall.

I actually don't think either of those things are far fetched. But even with a fully healthy team, I still doubt we'd beat Cleveland. I'd give us like a 35% chance. Not unthinkable, but not likely. We don't have an answer for LeBron. 3 minutes ago, Renegade7 said: A healthy Wall and the Wizards can beat the Cavs the way we're collectively passing the ball right now. A healthy Wall.

The only guy in the NBA capable of outplaying LeBron head to head in a playoff series is Kevin Durant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beal and Wall were averaging 48ppg combined in playoffs last year, add ~30 assists a game to that and you still don't think we stand a chance?

I think they'd be substantial favorites and events would have to take an unexpected turn in our favor to win. And I think we'd almost certainly have to get the three seed to pull off the upset. I don't doubt that we could push them pretty hard in a series. But I think there would be some happy to be there factor with us if we made it to the ECF. And I trust LeBron in a pivotal game six or game seven more than I trust Wall and Beal. Our best shot to make it out of the East is for LeBron to leave the conference this summer. We're always going to be second fiddle to his team while he's here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put the Hawks out of their misery in Atlanta last year, but couldn't finish off Boston, though. I'm staying optimistic, its no fun not to, but its hard to without seeing a healthy Wall all year.

For most teams, losing your second best player causes issues. Wouldn't be at all surprised if their a better team come playoff time (and legitimately the best team in the East).

Going Commando Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The Academy wasn't ready for Space Jam back in 1996. I'm sure English Patient was good but nobody has actually sat through that entire movie since it won. Space Jam stood the test of time. Also, if they can give Nicolas Cage an Oscar the year before, they could give one to Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
