Next 6 games:

Cleveland:

@Minnesota
vs. Philly
vs. Clippers
@ Indy
vs. Lakers
vs. Miami

Next 4 for Bulls:
@ Houston
@ New Orleans
@ Orlando
vs. Sactown

after that, it's Cleveland @ Chicago

Cavs have 2 seed aspirations to be honest. I dont think it's a question they pass Chicago.

[KembaWalker]

I've noticed Cavs run been pretty laid back, I expect em to go 6-0 through the next 6
Bulls too unpredictable right now, at best 3-1, I expect 2-2 maybe

The onyl hard game for the Cavs from those 6 are Clippers and they already beat them on the road without Love, so that should be a win.

Yep, and the Cavs look much better defensively right now than they did last time the played the Clippers

Cavs are 21-5 with Bron in the last 26 games...

That stat made my dick hard.

Passing the Bulls would be nice, but 4th seed really isn't much better than 5th seed this year. If the Cavs could get to 3rd though, that would make a huge difference.

Both these teams should have better records.

Call me crazy...

I think the Cavs could get 2nd place. 4.5 games behind Toronto isn't that far back... and honestly, Toronto has been pretty shitty lately, while Cleveland has improved.

Go Cavs AND Chicago! Let those two battle it out in the second round, we'll take the winner in the ECF

2nd place isn't much better than 3rd, so it really doesn't matter much. Either way you get an easy first round opponent, and a 2nd opponent that I think the current Cavs can beat, home or away.
The important part is getting to 3rd so you avoid a tough first round, and Atlanta in the 2nd round.

It would be nice to have HCA facing a team like Chicago, Toronto or Washington in the 2nd round though

Sure, it would be nice, but the way the Cavs are playing lately, I think they could win either way.
