Eastern conference is truly hilarious this year. The sky was falling for the Cavs when they didn’t score a point in an overtime period vs the hornets and now here they are in February

It’s not that the Cavs are bad.

They’re just always dealing with some form of injury at the worst time to a key player.

i think they are one of the biggest ‘momentum’ teams in the league. every year they have a stretch where they look like the best team in the league. last season that was almost the whole year. it just hasnt happened in the playoffs yet

That was so fucking maddening.

The entire season we were blowing out teams so regularly we were pulling our starters early. Everyone and their uncle commented that it would be great for us because everyone would be rested and healthy for the playoffs. What happens when the playoffs start? We immediately get hurt.

Last season we were without Garland in the second round apart from the two games he tried to play through a foot that needed surgery, Mobley missed games vs Indiana in the playoffs and so did Hunter. Wade was also out from memory.

Garland was glass and played so soft come playoff time. I’ll never forgot the Knicks series when he got bullied and pissed down his leg. And the Celtics the year before

Garland looked like the Cavs best player vs the Knicks. You’re clearly misremembering since you also mixed up the years. The Knicks series was first.

He’s a baller, I love watching him play. I really want him to win a championship to shut the haters up, but I’m pretty sure he’s just happy to get to play basketball for a living.

The team was gelling even leading up to the deadline but the Harden trade in particular has made them a much better team. Harden is still an All NBA player and he just makes life so much easier for everybody else on the team.

He deserves one. I still think about that series vs the warriors when cp3 got injured. Really wanted the both of them to win it all that year (and partially due to a neutral fan’s warriors fatigue)

It feels like the Thunder switched spots with Cavs as far as injuries crippling the team. Injuries are no joke.

Actually OP made a mistake and it’s only 4-0 with Harden. Cavs are still 16-5 since January 1st (tied with Pistons for best record), and 12-5 pre-Harden showing up.
