Let's start it... Warriors going for a back to back and 3 out of 4. Yikes for Gordon Hayward.

Wouldn't be the first time that's happened. See the Shaq/Kobe Lakers era NBA (was either the Lakers or Spurs coming out of the West) and look at the teams from the East who made the finals in those years (76ers, Pacers, Nets). Pretty sure we'll see the Raptors make their first Finals over the next few years.

Not that much different than now.

Well I'm probably the ONLY Rockets fan that does NOT want LeBron in Houston... I'd like them to win it without him - would mean more in a way. As it is, this year they only have ONE "Official" All Star. IF they manage to win it all this season, it would mean a LOT! Just my opinion though.

Course - with LeBron, the Rockets could likely win many NBA Titles - maybe even in a row - so there's that....BUT would that really be good for the league? Just one more example of a Super Loaded Team dominating the league year after year. That somewhat cheapens it in my view. But I guess that's the nature of things in the NBA these days, so....

NBA has always had super teams. Nothing is new.

New look Cavs are looking good against the Celtics.

KC_Connection · 02-11-2018, 04:41 PM

Will we have to hear any more about the try-hard Celtics being legit contenders in the East or can we give that up early this year?

Hammock Parties · 02-11-2018, 04:45 PM

This Cavs trade should be investigated by the league.

Why? They simply exchanged their older scrubs for younger scrubs. The Cavs aren't suddenly good because of that trade. It's still just LeBron, Love (when healthy) and some other guys. As long as LeBron was on either version of the Cavs this year, they were always going to make the Finals.

Most sane people know what you are talking about. Just a few Lecramp nuthuggers try to excuse the shit away.

There have always only been a few teams that can win a championship in the NBA in any given year and that's because of the collection of stars those teams had.

At this moment in time, only one team can win a title until/unless another team can group together 3-4 stars good enough to beat the Warriors. There is no team good enough this year to do that and may not be for quite a while depending on where LeBron decides to go this offseason. If Houston wants any chance of winning one, I'd suggest they go all-in for him come June.

Teams have been taking the Cavs garbage for years. Blame the Lakers, Kings and Utah.

mcaj22 · 02-11-2018, 05:25 PM

But yes,

Celtics have zero chance now. Maybe in the offseason they will unload the farm for someone actually good. Doubt it.
