That's a stretch my friend. Its going to take a little time and their defense isn't very good. 60 wins is possible but the goal is be playoff ready.

I think opening night vs the Knicks was totally explainable and understandable. I think the team that won in Chicago on Thursday is the team we see all year. My finals prediction is Cavs vs Warriors.

With the east being the east, they get a free ride into the conference final. Derek Rose didn't play OT and most of the fourth quarter Friday and gasol is still learning his rotations in that system plus no jimmy butler. Cavs were life and death to best the bulls without their starting backcourt.

Cavs are thin, thin, thin. They aren't winning any final.

As crazy as it sounds, I am actually buying your golden st prediction in that I agree they will be good. Don't know about finals but they are top four in the west.

IMO they are definitely the team best suited to win a ton of regular season games and get home court throughout. I was impressed last week they won a back to back the 2nd night winning at Portland. Thats not easy. They need to stay healthy, like everyone else I guess. Bogut needs to stay healthy.
