if they faced the rockets, trailblazers, clippers, or Memphis lol. they would have probably swept them. I dont see why people act like the west is so stacked.

Could it be because the West teams as a group, seem to always win the matchup against East teams as a group?
Could it be because 3 of the top 4 teams are in the West?

I also do not believe that the Cavs sweep the Clippers unless they lose Paul/Griffin during the series.

They probably would've had a better record than GSW if they played the exact same schedule honestly. :upsetfavre:

But what would happen if GS played the Pistons/Raptors/Hawks?

Not saying either path is amazingly tough, but I'd take going through those eastern teams over OKC/Portland/Houston.

I'm starting to wonder how many years is it going to take for a Non-Lebron led team to emerge as title contenders in the East?

If Danny Change can get Larry to take that 3rd pick and a piece for Paul George and they can get Whiteside to come to Boston that team would have next.

But honestly with Kyrie getting better and if Love/Bron stay healthy it'll be awhile:francis:

LOL he said that to pump his boys up. Bosh missed the playoffs the two years before he got to the Heat and Wade was coming off consecutive 1st round departures including losing in 7 to an ATL team Bron swept.
pump who up ? nikka what are you talkin about he said that once he got word that bosh was coming to mia he said that if he didnt go to mia also that he knew the cavs team he had at the time probably wouldn't beat mia....fukk is u smoking

The problem is the Cavs players outside of Bron are young, the teams that have next (Bucks, Wiz, Pistons, Celtics) are a few years and a few pieces away. The Bucks could emerge as a contender by next year if they play this right, but they wont have the experience to challenge the Cavs in the playoffs. The Pistons need a few more pieces, but they've apparently been the Cavs toughest opponent so far.


The Bucks are the only ones with what could be a top 5 player in Giannis, but he's just too young. Bron honestly played this to perfection, his squad is young enough that when he starts to taper off they still should be good enough to be there every year for the next 3-4 years.
