Coach Lue just have to pace his old veterans during the regular season and give more playin time to the younger players to gain the necessary confidence and experience into the playoffs. From there the veterans can spell the difference in the clutch.
I'm sure with Wade in, IT4 must be very excited to come back and start running the show for Cleveland.
I hope he can be 100% by playoff time so the Cavs can run with the Warriors coz even if they are old they still have the depth to keep pace with Golden State.

Talo sila sa takbuhan. Parehong may tama sa tuhod si rose and wade, pag may mainjure kahit isa sa kanila tapos ang boxing. Early prediction ko celtics ang maghahari sa east.

as long as GSW statys healthy i think same result parin sa nangyari last season.

kunting trivia muna tayo about kay Bill Russell. sa mga celtics fan jan you may not know this things. hehe

1. At 23, he was already a college, NBA and Olympic champion. No other player has accomplished that at such young age.

2. The St. Louis Hawks traded his draft rights for Cliff Hagan and Ed Macauley. Russell then beat them in the NBA Finals three times.

3. He won the MVP award and failed to make the All-NBA 1st Team in 1958, 1961 and 1962. Yes, you read that right.

4. He averaged a career-low 18.6 rebounds per game one year before retiring.

5. He never had a 20-point-per-game season.

6. Boston missed the playoffs two years in a row right after his retirement.

7. He only lost two of the 29 postseason series he played in the NBA.

8. He shot 56.1 percent from the free-throw line in his career. That’s worse than Dwight Howard.

9. He’s by far the all-time leader in Defensive Win Shares.

10. He was described as “an arrogant Negro who won’t sign autographs for white children” by the FBI in one of its files.

11. He was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 1975, but did not attend the event.

Maybe in the regular season the Celtics may get close on the number of wins. But in a 7-game playoff, they will be no match to the depth and experience of healthy Cavs team, imho.

si Adam Silver pwedeng magbigay pala ng fine atleast 100k sa mga teams na nagrerest ng player nila lalo na sa mga critical games. haha. spurs beware.. but kahit ako magbabayad nalang ako 100k para lang makapag pahinga ang players ko kung kinakailangan.100k is not enough.

:-[Celtics arent ready to win it all this season. Ainge is still finding the proper ingredients and probably within 5 years they will start collecting trophies once again.

not until mabuwag at ma injured mga players ng GSW.

steelcrazy · « **Reply #1031 on:** Sep 29, 2017 at 07:16 PM »

This coming season i'm goin with the old Cavs to win it all.
The younger Warriors will have their hands full dealing with the ambitious Thunder and the consistent contender Spurs to play the Cavs in the finals.

vortex1 · « **Reply #1032 on:** Sep 29, 2017 at 07:32 PM »

Seems like it. A lot of teams stacked up to defeat a Beast.

steelcrazy · « **Reply #1033 on:** Sep 29, 2017 at 08:35 PM »

Cavs will simply run over weaker teams in the east while the Warriors will have to slug it out against tougher teams in the west.
Proper pacing lng tlga and building team chemistry by the Cavs and they're sure to win it all this coming season.
Jeff Green and Crowder should be given more playin time during the regilar season to preserve LBJ for the playoffs.

I hope IT4 can come back 100% by playoff time.
I would love to see him facilitate run and gun games with LBJ and Wade as Wingmen.

Say all you want but GSW will simply run over every team they will encounter in the playoffs til the finals 4-0. They are invincible now with their main core plus support intact. They simply do not have any game flaws nor any chemistry problems among them not to mention they are still a young team and at the very peak of their game. They are the perfect team. No team comes close.

they have dominated last year, and without any injuries they will probably do it again. on paper, okc and houston are the only teams that can match up. spurs didn't do anything to upgrade.

also, i'm excited to see if the wolves can reach the playoffs this season.

If opposing teams can figure out how to take Draymond Green out of the equation or find ways to have him self destruct then the Warriors will find it hard to repeat this coming season.
Draymond Green is the key to the Warriors playin small ball and he is irreplaceable by any other players in their roster.

cavs have a very narrow window for continuous playoff contention. LeBron might leave in free agency (plus he's already what, 31?). Wade is old. Kevin Love could not carry a team. Derrick Rose and IT are injured. Tristan Thompson is a role player. Wala yata silang new blood na pwedeng I-groom. kawawa 'tong team na 'to after 2-3 years.

I'm still cheering for my Spurs ... last year they only ran over the Spurs after Kawhi got injured, and Parker was already out before that series ... Spurs was also 2-1 against them during the regular season, with both wins all by big margins ... but as usual, Spurs are low key again this season

The cavs do have a lottery pick next season. The 2018 rookie class is pretty solid. A team can potentially get a franchise player if they pick right.

Yup, very shrewd maneuver from the Cavs front office.

this is the most accurate prediction.

having KD on their team, uwian na...

as long as GSW stays healthy let's face the reality. pepeltokan lang lagi ang cavs nyan.

Cavs want to win it now.
They arent lookin much as the future.
LBJ wants to win it before he leaves for another team.
Wade wants a championship with another team.
Its Now or Never for the Cavs this comin season.

I can feel this is LBJs last hurrah at Cleveland.
Actually i like to see him wear the Laker's uniform and win one championship for a western team as he wind down his career.
