 The Cavs are imploding. The King is in distress. The Kingdom is falling. Their fate is certain.

 The SHamrock is shining. The Little one is streaking. The rich guy is returning. Carmelo is coming.

 3.5 Games out of first place? Stevens always gets hot Late. The playoffs do take a dramatic shift if we are the #1 seed.

 Can't believe I'm saying it but it's real. You have been Warned. We are coming for your Crown King. By any means necessary.

3.5 games is still far. You don't expect a team with the best player in the world to go on a 10 game losing streak. They just blew out the OKC today. I'm sure they will be fine. While 1st seed is nice, its better to temper our expectations.

They play in Dallas tonight. Mavs are playing better basketball as of late, and K-Love is out due to back spasms. It could be another L for the Cavs.

 If it becomes a tight race in the coming weeks I like the Celtics chances because we will be more hungry, and we are younger.

 We also could cost the Cavs a championship buy getting  those old bums tired or injured down the stretch.

 It's the Warriors this year anyway.

The kool-aid is strong in this one.

Yeah, that's not happening. Not until Boston takes care of business, in which they're inconsistent. And besides, they're still an all-star/superstar away from the #1 seed. Just focus on outlasting the Raptors first.

 Believe you must.
 You either do, or do not.
 There is no try. The force Is strong, in the little guy.

 Young Anakin Jaylen, the force shines bright.   Patience is needed.

 Finish first we must.

It's probably far-fetched if we mainly stand pat before the deadline. But if we would get something like this Melo trade to happen, then I could very well see us as the number one seed at the end of the year, especially as much as Lebron prioritizes rest going into the playoffs.

LeBron is not the best player in the world.

We have a guy in the west who is leading the league in scoring WHILE averaging a triple double at the same time.  Thats something the nba hasn't seen in maybe 50 years.

If LeBron played in a team such as OKC, with no stars at his side, he could average a triple double and maybe score 35. That's not a fair measure of judgement, I believe. And I'm not saying LeBron is the best basketball player in the world, but the debate must be richer than this, with all respect.

If we don't trade for a star before the deadline, let's focus on keeping 2-3 seed to avoid Cleveland until the ECF. It is a more realistic approach.

10% chance sounds about right.  Beat Toronto this week and I up it to 15%.

TP to KG for the optimism!
