    Cleveland is Jekyl and Hyde. The thing about good NBA teams is they can play themselves into peak form during the early rounds of the playoffs. A team's momentum right now means almost nothing.

    Agree with all that.

    Cleveland's problem is they suck out loud defensively. I don't think LeBron flipping the switch is enough to change that. I think it's a flawed roster that might be enough to skate through the east (where everyone has a flawed roster), but has no chance against GS or San Antonio, and would have a tuff time if Houston someone made it through (they won't).

    They're the 4th best team in the NBA, at best.

    Disagree about them being 4th best. I still think they are 2nd best. I agree it's tough to flip a switch, but the effort on D will ramp up in the playoffs.

    I do think GS beats them pretty soundly if they make the Finals. I think Cleveland could beat San Antonio or Houston though.

    Cleveland would bitchslap Houston, but still.

    Getting bitch-slapped by Tim Hardaway Jr when you're fighting to keep the 1 seed is always special.

    Can't defend the three. Houston would be a terrible matchup for them.

    I'm sorry, what winners does Houston have on its roster again?

    Not enough to get to the Finals. But enough to beat Cleveland.

    I'm actually excited to watch Houston. It will be hard for them to be consistent, but they are dangerous because they can get hot.

    Lou Williams and Eric Gordon are both guys that can put up 30+. Harden is incredible. Putting him at point was a great move.
