Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[LogicMan]

Never suggested it would be easy, what I did say is the C's will throw different angles at this problem including switching off screens with certain line ups...

... anywho, chasing Redick around was as good a warm up as any for chasing Korver around.

GMAN we have no excuses not to make this a seven game series. No one stops LBJ, but to be frank, Love has something to prove to me. I just dont see Brad allowing Kevin to look like he did last series. FYI, Tatums usage rate was 28% in the last series. I expect Cleveland is going to make adjustments on the defensive end.

Hell, LeBron himself knows the East is WEAK. Thats why you'll probably never see him out there (unless he joins the Rockets or Warriors). Its gonna be TWICE the difficulty getting to the finals and then he would have to play the Celtics in the finals, who have full strength will be good. If he joins a West team he's gonna have to go through the Rockets, Pelicans, Warriors or a combination of at least 2 out of the 3. If he stays in the West he's guaranteed a cakewalk to the ECF anyways

Won't matter though, Warriors over Cavs in 5

First both the Warriors and Cavs need to beat their next opponent. Don't put the cart before the horse.

 

[DorianRo]

Dude lose with class. Your coach got fired. Probably your going into a fire sale. We get it, been there. Represent.............

Toronto has more problems than the coach. Lowry/DeRozan need to go too. They just aren't playoff caliber players

hence why I used the word "firesale" . The vultures are circling the needle

Ok I won't

Well if Cavs DO lose to the Celtics theres no defending LeBron after that. Celtics are missing their 2 best players. There is absolutely NO excuse for the Cavs to lose. None

People will be surprised how good this series is going to be.

It's no secret what the Celtics plan to do. They expect LeBron to score and they're pretty much going to give him 50-60 a game. The Celtics will defend the hell out everyone else on the floor and attempt to keep them under 40............IF and that's a big IF, they can accomplish that, the Celts may take this in 5 or 6.

The Cavs are going to win another title? I have 3k that says @WiggyRuss is full of shit.

Baynes is the least versatile member of the blob, yes... (although he's strangely become a 3 pt sniper this playoff season)...

Horford is plenty versatile... dude has been an animal these playoffs.

The Cavs are about to find out.

 

[DJ]

you think Horford is versatile enough to guard Love on the perimeter?

I have seen the answer to that question.

You're acting like Love is some uber-athletic player....

what if i grow an arm out of my ass

It will be awkward with the ladies is my prediction.
