What do we think about OKC-CLE tonight? Finals Preview?  :-X

It?s probably best for us for the Cavs to lose both games against OKC over the next week. But honestly, I?m hoping the Cavs take tonight to shut up all the obsession about OKC?s false streak - which irks me that everyone just glosses over the NBA Cup loss because it doesn?t fit their narrative due to supporting one of the main critiques about OKC?s lack of experience in big games and struggles either size.

In fairness to OKC, they've been missing Chet for a while, and Hartenstein didn't start the year. If they have those two that's a very loaded and deep roster.

I guess I'm glad OKC is on the other side of the bracket. If we do have to worry about them, it won't be until the Finals. We can worry about it then.

We won't get the 1 seed but I'd like to see CLE suffer some losses at least. Maybe show an "Achilles heel" somewhere, because starting 31-4 isn't some "fluke".

Starting tonight, Cleveland will have a difficult upcoming 10 games:
2- OKC
2- HOU
2- IND
1- MINN
1- PHILLY
1- PHOENIX
1- TORONTO

Maybe 6-4

That was actually a great half of basketball between OKC-CLE.

Mitchell barely did anything and they are still up at halftime

Didn't you hear they're the new 73-9 Warriors. They'll go 10-0 on this. Maybe 9-1 with one loss to OKC

Mitchell 1-11, 4 points. Somehow CLE is only down 4, although OKC just went on a 9-0 run to go up 4 in that process.

Man what an awesome last few minutes of the 3rd in OKC-CLE. Fireworks.

Pretty atrocious officiating for the ref to miss that blatant out of bounds call on SGA right in front of him. That?s three points it cost Cleveland.

We need to have the conversation. Can this Cavs team reach the 73-win Warriors for real  :o

OKC literally can't grab a rebound for their life at the end of this game. Kind of like the Bucks game

Dort is a bit of a flopper, eh? Between the two games with us and tonight, I?ve seen like a half dozen flops by him.

As good as OKC is, they really struggle against teams with size, particularly in the rebounding department. There?s a ton of big teams in the West, and they may have a hard time getting out of the West unless they get a favorable path of smaller teams, especially given their youth and inexperience.

They won?t lose any of these games, at this point they might beat the wins record. Ridiculous.
