Series Thread: ECF: 2) Boston Celtics vs 8) Miami Heat

[shopson67]

The sliding scale applied to the Cavs "success" is entertaining, if nothing else.

Nope. The Knicks aren’t very good. The Cavs had the fifth best record in the league and went home in round 1.

I would say Memphis, Milwaukee and Boston all underachieved more

Bucks and Grizz for sure. The Cs? Guess a case could be made for losing to the 8 seed as a 2. Though going into playoffs guessing most thought they'd go as far as they did (but lose to Milwaukee in ECF).

a 4 lost to a 5 with the youngest starting lineup of all playoff teams. Happens. Going into playoffs it was expected Memphis would win a round.

I get who you were talking to and you were wrong......him being wrong does not make you less wrong.

I’m not wrong. The Cavs were the 2nd biggest underachiever in the playoffs.

Rain Man pivots on his beliefs? was there another version than the original we all saw? Rain Man is kind of steadfast. which I guess you are when you are wrong. Again.

Ironic, huh?

The Rain Man thing is the reality that I can elicit posts from you for the next hour if I wanted to.

That last sentence alone is a failure when they added brogdan and he won 6moty

Nah. Those franchises aren’t 1-6 in playoff games over the last two seasons. The Cavs are paper tigers

Last years team is irrelevant since they didn’t have Mitchell

That team overachieved just to get there

Cool story, but a strong case can be made it was Memphis since more was expected of them (and they played the 7 seed as opposed to 5). You were wrong saying I never admit I am wrong (when I did in this very thread). You were wrong in thinking Rain Man would pivot on his beliefs. He'd be steadfast like you (even if wrong). You were also wrong in thinking I claimed it "must be a travel".

what would last season have to do with the playoffs THIS year? Might not add to your "wrongs" but it's odd you don't think expectations for Memphis THIS season should matter but something that happened last year for the Cavs should?

You are on top of your game today, my friend.

You mean collapsed to get there. They were the 3 seed in the East last year and then fell apart after the All Star break.

oh, the irony.

I took the over with fanduel on your wrongs going over 7.5 so I need to keep you going. We are in dispute on this one as I'm claiming they should add this one to put you at 5. The Rain Man thing was because you claimed I pivoted like Rain Man.

It's either an added wrong or a lie (probably both). I suggested FD let you decide. well?

1-6

I see.....losing Adams can be used as an excuse for Memphis, but not losing Allen, Sexton and Rubio (among others)?

I have to drive in about 20 minutes but I’ll come back to make the puppet dance.

Was the Fan Duel an attempt at humor? Are you by chance German, sir?

You’re the Cleveland fan. I will defer to you when it comes to making excuses.

This is bullshit. I've got you at 5 and you are begging out in the middle? Very Anthony Davis like. I hope you'll be back soon enough to be wrong a few more times.

I already told you I’d be back to make my puppet dance, Pinocchio.

So he's a league best defender? You make some strange points that you think are in your favor.
