Happy Opening Day for Cleveland basketball, everyone!
The 2022-2023 Cavaliers will start their season tonight against the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 pm. If you are someone who does not have Bally and has yet to find a way to watch the Cavs online, just ask in the thread (I don't want to promote certain sites on the original post).
I think this is going to be a special season and I am really intrigued to see how everyone gels together. However, I do think it might take a while for JB to find the right rotations, so I am expecting a bit of a slow start the first month before they really get into gear. The small forward position may be a lazy Susan in the starting lineup for a long time, but I am predicting Okoro gets the start for at least tonight.
What are everyone's predictions for the East? I am only going to give a top 10 because I think for this season the Hornets, Magic, Pistons, Pacers, and Knicks will be irrelevant in the playoff discussion.
I am going with 1. Boston 2. Milwaukee 3. Miami 4. Philadelphia 5. Brooklyn 6. Cleveland 7. Toronto 8. Atlanta 9. Chicago 10. Washington. The East is damn good this season, I really think the top 6-7 teams could be pushing for 50+ wins and seeds 3-7 could all be within a few games of each other.
