Go Pistons, Rockets, T'Wolves, Pacers, Jazz(yes, I want them in the 7th or 8th seed to face the Warriors), and Suns.
Cassidy Hubbarth: Safe to say Cleveland has reached a new low. Talked to a source close to the team and they said their issues have nothing to do with basketball. They don't like each other. The coaching staff is having to coach effort instead of basketball. Dwyane Wade said this is the first time he's experienced something like this in his 15-year career. When I asked about the vibe, Tristan Thompson said embarrassed. Green called it unfamiliar & Isaiah Thomas made headlines when he said "When adversity hits, we go our separate ways."
Swear ESPN is acting like the Cavs are winning a game 7. Wolves score. Quiet. Cavs make layup. Announcers yelling.
Soft competition though...they beat the Cavs, Miami (on a losing streak), Brooklyn, Memphis, Portland...meh
