And just think.....they're two games ahead of Milwaukee in the loss column.

Halfway through the season, should anyone be surprised?

Hawks team to beat in the east. Cavs still got work to do.

They're definitely Rollin' now


Still can't believe Lebron wanted to trade love for wiggins.  I know, I know, ya gotta win now. But wiggins looks like he's ready to jump to superstardom very soon.
I trust Danny Ainge

still has a chance to be a bad trade if love jumps ship.  Wiggins looks phenomenal.  But that team is a title contender this year.

If healthy, the Cavs were always the team to beat in the East.  They have the best player in the world, the best PF in the east, and the second best PG in the east.  Getting Shumpert and Smith for Waiters was a great move.  As was turning 2 late firsts into Mozgov.  When Varejao comes back they will have one of the better benches in the east as well.  They might actually be the team to beat in basketball right now, not just the east.

Funny, I didn't even have to click on it to know who started this thread lol.

Cavs are the trust fund kid who goes to private school. He's suppose to be successful.

Mosgov has been huge for them.

I'd take Wall over Irving.  Better defender, better passer, better rebounder.

Will he make it back this season though? Maybe he can make it back in time for the playoffs.

Cavs are so so so good on paper. Their record says otherwise, but maybe they are turning it around now.

Fact is that in weak East, regular season is pretty meaningless. If they start playing to potential, they have an easy ticket to the Finals - and no, I don't think the Hawks are meaningful competition if Cavs are peaking.

They had a good month and have improved greatly from the Mozgov trade, but I am still not convinced they will be a serious contender.

I have too many doubts about Love and Irving on the defensive end. On the offensive end, I feel like they rely too much on the individual talents of LBJ and Irving instead of running quality sets. Also, other than LeBron and Marion, who has meaningful playoff experience?

If they move up to the 2 or 3 seed, I will change my outlook, but it seems silly to me to consider a 5th seed to be the favorite in the east.

Same I think said poster will have his brain explode if they don't make finals. No mentions or threads when hawks just won 19 in a row. Smh. In the words of Denny green if you want to freakin crown them crown them
