Lol can we get to 20-30 games PLEASEEEEEEEE
1st
I say yes! I thought Darius and Donovan would be too small of a starting backcourt to work on both sides of the floor but, other than the Bucks, I don’t see who would legit keep them out of the Finals this year and for years to come! 🔥 🔥
I like the raptors more
if they pick up a guy before trade deadline look out
"This is supposed to be their thing, defending scoring guards."
Steph Curry has entered the chat 😂
I think it showed in the NY game…especially as they almost had him. You could see the difference. Some of his shooting numbers arent great but winning trumps all in the regular season
Too soon!!! Cavs are 6-1 but they only played 2 good teams: they lost to Raptors and went to OT twice with Celtics – the rest: Wizards, Magics, Bulls and Knicks, all bad teams last year and this year
this is like when Kawhi got traded to Toronto- Mitchell is on a mission
As a Raps fan all I have to say is the Cavs deserved to be talked about. It is however an over reaction because their shooting luck is unsustainable. If you think this team is gonna be above league average from 3 you know shit about basketball. Allen is a 18% lifetime shooter Mobley 25,%. You can't have two non shooters is a law of basketball physics.
Cavs are a championship team , there great on offense, defense and there fun to watch 🏆
I don't think Donovan should be a target on the D he has all the assets to be a plus defender so idk why he should be the target and if they get crowder then I think it might the a true contending level team
Bucks, Cavs , Celtics are 3 east teams I feel confident making it to the 2nd round and having homecourt in round 1.
Who ever ends up the best from Sixers, Raptors, Heat with be the 4th 2nd round team. And then I don't could see Cleveland beating 1 of the final 4 but would be very surprised if they beat 2 of the final 4 to make it to the finals, and shocked if they won the title..not because they don't have the talent but because the lack of experience as a unit and 9/10 teams who win the title have a top 25 all time player or at least a player playing at that level and the Cavs don't have anyone close to that.
Raptors served The Cavs and put Mitchell in a straight jacket.
How is LeBron gonna force himself to Cleveland? lmao
Cavs are contenders. Possible dynasty of the 2020s.
They do look good but feels like they need one more guy to get to the finals
Raptors have entered the chat…
The sky is the limit for this team health is the most important thing
