Four. And. Oh!In the East, Raptors are still right on Cleveland's heels. Tied in the win-column, with only the two losses separating them, Toronto is only 1 game back.
Cavs face a back to back, with Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo beginning tonight. An away and home set, that could theoretically give the Cavs two losses. Milwaukee owned the Lebrons the last time they played. Should be a good pair of games, assuming Lue doesn't sit his three stars again.
Out West, it's all GS. Spurs are two wins and a loss (1.5 games) behind. Rockets are a full 3 games behind. Warriors and Cavs face off on Christmas day again. I think that game is on at the same time as the Pittsburgh Ravens game. I'll probably flip back and forth a bit, at least until one game goes blow out.
Cleveland could very well lose three of four this week; Two and Two is probably the realistic outcome though. 3-1 or a full 4-game sweep....highly unlikely.
That's the most fun regular season game I've seen in a long time. Some great highlights and a fantastic comeback despite a disappointing shooting performance from the Cavs.
But particularly hilarious was the sequence of 1) Lebron chasing Iguodala the entire length of the court, 2) a spooked Iguodala shoveling the ball off to Pachulia at the last second, and 3) Lebron swatting it into the stands out of Pachulia's hands.
The Cavs' pre-game psychological warfare ("Cavaliers troll Warriors with blown-up picture of LeBron James block") seems to have worked. Well, that and there seems to be some lingering psychological damage from the Warrior's epic collapse in the Finals last year.
I haven't followed the Warriors closely enough this year to know: is Finals Curry just regular Curry now or is this a Cleveland-specific phenomenon?
Although LeBron is without question still the man in Cleveland--he's the unquestionable leader and bigger and stronger than anyone else in the league, with his specific skill sets--Kyrie is rapidly becoming the second best player in the league. I would not be surprised to see him become the superstar of the club in a few years. Maybe after two more titles
Irving is good but lets not get ridiculous.
No LeBron, and Cleveland can't even beat Detroit

Kings really need to trade DeMarcus Cousins. He's just a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
He needs to be on a real team under real leadership. Wizards would be a good fit with his buddy John Wall. Ideal fit imo would be the Clippers.
Imagine how good Cousins would be with a point guard? I would trade Blake Griffin for Cousins in a heart beat if I were the Clippers.
Adding Cousins on any team in the East would have an immediate impact. Miami has the cap space. Riley might even be able to get the man focused.
Miami would actually be a tremendously bad fit since they already have Whiteside.

Clips have Jordan. So, since you suggested he go to LA, I figured we were not excluding teams with good centers already on the roster.That's who I would trade.
