I'm torn between 7-3 and 8-2 here, but I think I'll go with 7-3, just because after a long stretch of winning the games we are supposed to (except for the Clippers game), this relatively young team is likely to have one generic didn't-haven't-it game amongst these ten which turns into a lost game we could have and should have won.

Writing after the Dallas game certainly tends to put a pessimistic spin on things. But I'm saying 6 wins even though once more the competition is a bit thin. I'm seeing a few things of late which worry me. I feel that Lowry while still very good has indeed lost a bit from his peak and is not as likely to take over a game as he could in the past few years. OG hasn't made a three in the past couple of games and is getting very few shots. The bench only group is struggling horribly to score and I'm not confident that CJ Miles is really the answer. His 3 point shooting reputation is somewhat based on last year which was his best ever. He might not really be a 40% shooter. His limited minutes also seem to encourage him to chuck it up when he does get in.
I think the Raptors are a year away.....and that if Lowry doesn't deteriorate too much. If Siakam can work his ass off and develop a better shot (ditto Delon) and Powell gets his head straight they could be very, very good. Of course so could Boston. I feel like this is Cleveland's last big year.
So I predict losses to 2 more lousy teams, a close one to Cleveland and a win tomorrow night to get us all optimistic again. If they lose tomorrow it goes down to 5/5.
