No, we want DEN to beat OKC. DEN isn't a threat to catch us.

Go POR (over LAC), CLE (over NOP), DAL (over MIN), MEM (over UTA) and DEN (over OKC)!!!

What a silly ass post.

Indiana had Jeff Teague and Rodney Stuckey at PG last year... They upgraded to Collison and Joseph.
They added a starting caliber big in Sabonis.
They added a very good scorer in Bogdanovic...

Oladipo and George are about even right now. Thunder didn't improve because they lost as much as they got, and no matter who you put next to Russ, he'll freeze them out. Plus, Russ was a lot better last year.

This post makes 0 sense.

Jeff Teague is All Star.

LeBron is better than he has ever been quite frankly and he doesn't need Kyrie to win a first round series against Indiana. Now, after the first round? Who knows? But if you had to bet a million dollars, you'd still probably put it on the Cavs to make the Finals. You'd THINK about Toronto but you'd pick LeBron. 7 straight NBA Finals is no joke. He still has Kevin Love and JR Smith and Tristan Thompson and they're deeper offensively with Green, Clarkson, and Nance.

I'm not arguing that Cleveland will lose in the 1st round, just that they won't SWEEP like you claim.

You're the one always preaching that it doesn't matter who "should win" because past records aren't predictive, even if the record is because of the organizations current team. But here ya are, using past records to try to predict the playoffs based on Lebron's past teams... That's silly.

No mention of defense. I don't care what they do offensively, they can't stop anyone.
 
Also- Cavs swept Indiana in first round last year too so they have experience beating down on Indiana.

Jeff Teague is extremely overrated, Darren Collison is extremely underrated, and Cory Joseph is a huge upgrade over Rodney Stuckey.

Compare Teague's and Collison's stats this year, then come back to me.

They can stop teams enough. Look at their recent win over Toronto. Nonetheless, I hope you're right. Let's have a wild first round!

Yeah, with two completely different teams. There's 5 different starters among the 10 between both teams. Half the starting lineups in that series will be completely different.

One great win where they gave up 129 points means their defense is solid enough?
 
Denver is gonna choke. This was a must-win for them.
 
man the nuggest suck. They just didn't grab the rebound on a FT attempt then gave up a wide open dunk on a set defensive possession
