The healthy Cavs will get smoked by the Thunder or the Warriors

They certainly wouldn't be favored, but could win two games or so. Too many average to below average defenders.

And K-Love can't seem to put more than 2 games in a row together before he "loses confidence".

Probably. Fridays I usually stay in. The problem will be getting in front of a TV Saturday night.

Because Saturday night is club night?

Same.

My girlfriend works a second job and is up really early on Saturday morning so we usually don't do anything on Friday nights. We do dinner a lot on Saturdays. Real talk: I haven't had a beer in about three months.

They could win either series. They wouldn't be favored in either but I don't think it's like their best case scenario is winning 2 games--and they'd have home court against OKC which nudges the percentages back towards them at least a little bit.

The Thunder could be a favorable matchup for them that could allow Love to actually get to play as long as they're throwing somebody like Roberson out there so they could hide Love on defense. OKC would probably adjust and go back to Kanter-Adams against the Cavs, but even that isn't necessarily bad for Cleveland seeing as they have a roster with like 12 PFs. I think the strategic adjustments could be really interesting to watch in a Thunder-Cavs series.

Yeah, the Cavs match up better against the Thunder.

I know I trashed Donovan and called the Thunder pretenders earlier in the year but he is actually an NBA level coach. Seems like he spent a good chunk of the season just figuring things out and now looks really comfortable.

I bet Joakim Noah could have told you that!

Yeah, I completely agree. I'm glad they have a competent coach now.

So the Wiz are going to offer Brad beal the max July 1. That's not going to work out. The guy is too brittle.

Maybe it was just Billy's weird widows peak that threw me off.

I feel like it is always staring at me.

Man that's NOT. A flagrant foul.

Billy Donovan looks like a grocery store manager who constantly berates his teenage employees and tries to motivate them by reminding them that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that extra bit of effort.
