Cavs not so invincible anymore. Getting ready to lose their third straight game tonight. I've been saying that the Bulls could give the Cavs some trouble in the playoffs. I'm hoping they're a low seed that plays the Cavs in the first or second round.

We should all know by now that the regular season is meaningless when it comes to evaluating the Cavs.

True. But I'm more referring to those posters who claim that Cleveland, GS, etc. are unbeatable. Every team is beatable.

In the regular season, sure. Come playoffs, no one's (in the East) beating the Cavs barring a Bron injury.

Good to see someone barely beat the warriors.  Gotta keep that illusion alive that they can be beat.
How is it an illusion if they just got beat and have lost two other games as well...
im talkin playoffs.  You might sneak a win out of a series but that's a team that might have the greatest offense in history, just won 12 games in a row, has the best record in the league, and is on a 70+ win pace.   They are in a separate tier from the rest of the league.

Completely agree. If healthy, I think GS beats Cleveland in 5, maybe 6 games. I wouldn't be shocked if they picked up another defensive big man (role player, not star) before the deadline. Steve Kerr has the best gig going right now. It will be his job to manage legs at the end of the regular season so they are fresh to dominate every playoff game. No one cares about reg. season records this year.

I think Dray is their key. No one can match them 1-3, so its useful if teams can attack inside.

And this is why the Celtics should get Demarcus Cousins. We would go from having one of the weakest post scoring teams last year to the best. I think he would work well with Horford and IT.

They're the favorites, sure, but I don't think it's inconceivable that someone like Boston or Toronto could pull off an upset. This is even truer if we add a legit center to our roster.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but they'll be prohibitive favorites.

Pacers might be a team to watch now. They're finally at full health for the first time this season, and are currently beating the Clippers in the 4th quarter
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Clippers just playing sloppy... Too many turnovers.

Westbrook has his Trip Dub with 6 minutes left to play in the third. Amazing..

Heard the Cavs had a major injury. Anyone know what happened? I saw Lebron went down early, but he continued to play and is still playing.

looked as though JR has a hyperextended knee but I'm no Doc, I'm just basing that off of what they call it when other people have landed like that. it was quick but it was like he was about to do like the aliens on Contact move when they popped their knees back.

it didn't look that bad but he was down on the floor rolling and crying so it probably isn't good.
