They're too inconsistent. Imo beal is their best player but hes a bit fragile and inconsistent. John Wall is also inconsistent. Don't have a ton of faith to take much of a run.

Sixers are 7-2 in their last 9, and Embiid has basically scored over 20 points in each of them. Then Ben Simmons is coming back very soon.
His defensive impact is just asinine. We should seriously consider him as DPOTY this year.
Just to quote a stat from Derek Bodner
Just look at this bullshit. look at it
And oh yeah, Ben Simmons is coming pretty soon. And you guys just wait for Simmons. He is absolutely ridiculous, and unless this foot injury fucks him up hardcore, he's going to be great.
Nerlens Noel is a great backup plan in case Embiid does get injured. Sam Hinkie was a genius, trust the process
Just thought about it and now I'm 100% sure it's going to happen.
After seeing what the nets did with Tyler Johnson and crabbe, Noel is sure to get a major offer from the nets, probably for around 3 years. They played the restricted free agent game during the entire 2016 free agency

What's the argument for anyone else to start over him at center at this point? Embiid minute restriction? He's the best center in the East already, it would be a crime if he didn't.
Cavs just look tired, its a long ass season and I feel like they've played 90% of their games on the road lately. Just one game, but they getting dumped on.
*cough* Dwight Howard.
I personally wouldn't want him to play for the sake of health.
It's been inconsistent this year, the Cavs are getting burned by him and Iggy and it's just bad luck. Besides that, his shot has to be one of the highest release points in the NBA regardless of position. I don't think he could physically stretch out any more if he tried, it's crazy.

Theres a reason I mentioned starting 5
0 way Beal is better than wall while wall is averaging double digit assists.

Good for Green for calling out that ridiculous flop for what it was. Fuck Lebron.

He can't keep getting away with it..

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
LeBron is such a freaking flopper.
Come on, you're 6'8" 250 and you flopped like a 140lb fool.

No center position, otherwise he would be a frontrunner
Last year they changed the designated center position to 3 front court players. A lineup like
1/2 - Lowry/DeRozan/IT/Wall
3-5 - LeBron/Giannis/Butler
Could pretty fairly get in over him

they should be able to review and issue LeBron a tech for such a blatant flop
Not flop. But I get what your saying.
is he supposed to eat that shoulder hit to the chin?

Go through him instead of flop like a fool?
yes?
WTF flagrant 1?!? Why??? Come on.

Screw the current ref reviewing system...
Just give coaches a set number of challenges already
He turns the ball over quite a bit which is definitely a problem. I think when beal is right he's the better player. To be fair I do t get to watch wall night in and night out, I just like beaks game better, if only he could stay on the floor.

Draymond is the worst. I said it, we all know it. You in denial if you disagree !

Lebron trying to get Green suspended again, possibly tried that too soon.
why?
I hope it wasn't arguing with Jefferson, because that'd be BS. But he did go toward the bench and mock a flop, which I think deserves a tech.
Does anyone like Green outside of Golden State?
that being said, not a flagrant or a tech on him there.

sorry dp. assumed there would be another post

Amazing mid-air flop by LeBron. He clearly got hit hard but decided to turn into a rag doll on the way down. I'm glad Green called him out.
I have friends who are Cavs & Laker fans, and they're favorite Warrior is Draymond. They love how hard he goes.
So to answer your question, yes.
And than gets called for the offense foul pile driving to the rim smh

Draymond regularly proves himself to be the most likable and best part of the Dubs, asides from maybe Javale.
I mean, watching from another pov, when he fucks up (like with the kicks) and doubles down, it's INCREDIBLY infuriating, but asides from that he and javale make it the most difficult for me to hate the dubs
You're right man, that kind of collision could be the end of Lebron's jaw, maybe his whole face. I mean, just look at the damage being wrought
