It doesn ' t benefit them , but it weakens one of the potential key players . People seem to not realize how much of a beast we are if we ' re not corrupt . Take a look at Ahok and the Jakarta APBD budget . How much he ' s achieved with a fraction of the budget . And don ' t get me started on Papua . <| sep |> We ' re fine over here in the UK we had our Thanksgiving back at the beginning of July <| sep |> I do think the Hawks have the best shot to beat the Cavs , just because Dwight Howard is an animal . Just about the Cavs only weakness is elite defensive big men which Howard is and bigs that can bang in the post and score which Howard can possibly do . I don ' t think you can stop Kyrie or LeBron exactly , but I think Schroder is good enough to slow Kyrie a bit . No team will stop LeBron . You can only slow LeBron , and only Kawhi and Paul George have done that consistently . I don ' t think the Cavs will be beaten in the ECF , but I think uj 4 degrees has a solid argument for the Knicks . While I don ' t think Derrick Rose will be a factor too much , I think guys like Melo and Porzingis can really hurt the Cavs because of how they can stretch the floor on one play and then get on the block and score the ball the next . Add a former AllNBA First Team and DPOY like Joakim Noah who hates LeBron more than anyone on rnba , and I think they have a chance . I doubt it will happen , but I like the argument , and it ' s an intriguing matchup .
