    Cavs dont seem as untouchable as they were last year, i wouldnt say its lilely but its def possible if we get back to playing like we were at the beginning of the season


    Now that sullinger back our 4 spot isnt as weak so we could manage without getting millsap, but if we made that trade id say we neck and neck with the cavs

    i mean, i guess i should've worded that differently, but there's multiple reports that he's full healed and could make a return after the all-star break. very well could rest for the rest of the season tho.

    LeBron teams do this every year. look vulnerable in the regular season with some odd/bad losses, and then are a completely different team in the playoffs. Look at how much those Bulls teams dominated the heat in the regular season. lebron ripped their hearts out in the playoffs. i just don't think the raptors have a chance. it's the cavs and everyone else.

    yea i mean they don't really have much to lose at this point. if he's fully healed and conditioned, let him go out there and play with embiid. develop chemistry and then go out next season and make the playoffs easily.

    I just wanna see him in the court man. For too many years I have had to watch our draft picks sit out a season (or multiple: embiid). I was watching him all through the summer league and couldn't wait to see him and Embiid play together.

    no team but GSW is doing it, nba is a broken league.

    legit just cheer for our teams to do the best the can. us going to the ECF last year was as close as it gets to winning a ship if you're not a GSW or Cavs fans.

    NBA is a trash league

    It's not trash, it's 95% due to LeBron's dominance. Ppl take his greatness for granted. We're undoubtedly watching one of the two best players of all time.

    bro compare that s--- to any other league.

    yes you have dominant players in other sports, but new england isn't a lock for winning the ship every year just because they have the best quarterback of all time.

    the NHL too, the best teams have all star players, but they're good because they're solidly built teams same as the spurs are (and were when they won the ship last).

    the NBA is broken b, the issue isn't even the same 2 teams going to the finals 3 years straight, but the nature of how one of those teams is built.

    the 3 best players in the NBA last season were LeBron, Curry and Durant.

    now 2 of those 3 players are on the same team. nba such a trash league to me.

    Lol this is ridiculous, the NBA's been that way my entire life. Jordan dominated for a while, Lakers and Spurs dominated for a while, now Bron's teams and the Warriors are fighting it out. NBA doesn't have this lack of parity cuz Bron, it's been that way for a long time. There's never or basically never more than 3 elite teams that have a legit shot at the title each year.

    Bron did kinda set up the new trend though which will be star players teaming up, so you'd have an argument in that sense.

    But basketball too dope a sport to not be invested in the NBA either way, so it's a wash.

    yeah that's 100% true, i guess i'm just talking about the parity.

    every sport is a lock to have elite teams, but you can't predict the Super Bowl at the start of every season, or the stanley cup finals at the start as reliably as you can the nba finals.

    that's what i'm saying ya digg
