    With recent win over bucks, how far can this team go? Can they play Boston in the East Finals?

    Mitchell is the new star in Cleveland avg near 30 ppg. If you were the nets or sixers would you be concerned?

    We beat the bucks. They are in the doldrums now as it’s not the postseason.

    the Cavs are who we thought they were. A good regular season team that has upside of a second round playoff exit.

    Lol. We shall see. Think the Vegas line is closer to my prediction- but what do they know.

    Their best player is Donovan Mitchell so 2nd round exit is my guess. Can they beat the Sixers, Bucks or Nets in a playoff series? Probably not.

    Titles are won by the 6-7 best players in the league and if you don't have one you're not beating one.

    The cavs were already solid a year ago. Add in another year of improvement and experience with their young guys mobley, garland, allen. Then add in an all star guard in mitchell that's proven he can be a core piece in impacting winning. So it makes sense for them to be doing well in the regular season and a ceiling of making the playoffs to the 2nd round ceiling

    Cavs get rubio back soon too. That will only help their bench. They have a nice team.

    Boston probably still wins in 7 though. Might be their year to get a championship. Tatum and Brown are due to nab at least 1 in their career.

    im afraid mitchell has brought regular season vibes from Utah to Cleveland...that means they'll be front-runner in regulars and fading away in playoffs.
    jk...simply sour grapes.
