The Cavs are probably in for another losing season, but damn…Kyrie is so freakin good. Is he a top-20 player right now? It’s hard to say considering he’s only been in roughly 40 games. However, he’s already better than John Wall, and his rise and confidence seems really reminiscent of a young Derrick Rose. Incredible. The Cavs will win 20-30 games just on the strength of Kyrie alone. Tristan Thompson has to show SOMETHING this year, and Dion Waiters, controversial as his no. 4 selection may have been, also has to show flashes of greatness for that pick not to be considered a bust. http://www.thegreatmambino.blogspot.com/2012/09/kyrie-irving-future-top-5-players.html

That’s now three teams that have been placed in the 9/10 range (Toronto, Cleveland, Milwaukee) and we haven’t even gotten to Washington who I think is better than Cleveland. Kurt, you know they can’t all be the 10th seed in the east right? You have Milwaukee at 40 wins, Toronto at 38 and Cleveland at 34. This should be pretty simple math.

I think Cleveland is probably around 12 or 13th in the east with Milwaukee, Washington, Toronto, and possibly Detroit above them.
