Or they can pull it together and pull a first round matchup against ATL, MIA, or MIL...I truly think they are better than the teams that I mentioned and would give the teams that you mention a run for their money, even with a chance at beating them. Cleveland is a mediocre team away from home, and they would have to play games away from Quicken Loans. Boston would give us fits, sure. They've played the Magic down to the wire in both games, games that could've went either way. Dont overlook these guys and throw out their chances just yet. This is a WHOLE different ball club under DiLeo than it wsa under Cheeks. DiLeo is rotating these guys masterfully (boy am I going to hear $hit for saying this), and getting the young guys some quality time late in the games. I think they are going to make a nice stretch run heading into the playoffs and land witht he 4,5, or 6 seed. I, for one, am excited about the rest of this year. It's still early but am eager to see if they pull it together and rise in the ranks. If you are still adamant about their chances, or lack there of, come playoff time, we can possibly make a little wager. I know of a few Cheesesteak joints that travel well. I want some more autographs.
