    Cavs were coasting during the regular season so I give no credence to our wins against them. In the Finals we would have lost to them.

    Cavs.

    The level that LeBron and Kyrie can bring their games up in the playoffs far outweighs how the Rocket played during the regular season.

    Okay, here's a question: Playoff Cavs versus regular season Rockets? In other words, let's assume the Cavs flipped the switch and their regular season performance meant nothing. But what if we assume how the Rockets played the regular season is their "real level" and they're not the playoff chokers many here believe them to be.

    Under that assumption, how do people think the Rockets would perform against the Cavs?

    LeBron would have given us the dad dick treatment.

    Cavs is the closest team after Warriors. They would win easily in no more than 5 games. They are tough and play with efficiency. I believe they'd still be in favor to win over Rockets or Celtics without Kyrie Irving.
