Cleveland Cavaliers

As wonderful as that winning streak has been for the Cavs, they have been dealing with injuries all season. Isaiah Thomas is the key player here. He’s been out all season with a hip injury. It looks like he’ll be back in early January. He’s probably a key second or third best player for this team, especially from a scoring perspective.

Derrick Rose is also dealing with his ankle which nearly was the final straw of an official injury filled career. But, he may return soon. Iman Shumpert is also out, although we have to wonder how effective he is when healthy anyway.

Still, as I said, the Cavs are rolling. LeBron James is great. You look up the word “greatness” in the dictionary and it’s just this:

Life isn’t fair when you have that to go up against. I really do believe LeBron needs some help to help extend his NBA Finals run, but he’s still destroying people since 2003. 2003!
