Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[Montalban]

Probably.

Measuring Smart's value by looking at FG % is kind of like measuring Shaq by looking at his FT%.

Smart is a truly elite defender and worth just as much as an elite offensive player who plays crap defense.

He hustles too and gets rebounds he has no business getting. That gives his team extra possessions every game.

Did you check what the word 'Eastern' means?

No, I cant read.

Irving is too fragile to be counted on as a cornerstone player. Hurt at Duke, hurt in Cleveland and now hurt in Boston.

It’s a selective surgery, you are a veteran champion “leader”, your ass should be there.

Oriental?

I meant the conference finals but I see some of the games are even earlier in the finals.

I was talking about Finals, I already complained about the 830 ECF start times.

And from what Ive heard, more vulnerable now, then before, since the screws are out.

Yep

 

[msgkings322]

Warriors favored by 5.5, hmm....

Oriental?

[trojanfan12]

You know what they say about woulda, shoulda, coulda right?

You know what they say about recency bias, right?

He just always seems to be gone when you need him.

The Wizards/Sixers would have provided a SIGNIFICANTLY better challenge to the Cavs than the Celtics missing their 2 best players and The career playoff choking Raptors did. Cavs dodged a bullet for sure.

They should have started Friday, or play game 2 on Saturday.
Too many days in between as is.

 

[Battlelyon]

Yep

Can you imagine if LeBron wasn’t there, the Internet would explode.

 

[PatsFan2003]

i still think your boys gave a good account of themselves...

C's ain't no joke...

Definitely but damm they were so close to complete awesomeness...

Looking forward to next year.

Have you tried viagra?

You know what they say about recency bias, right?

Nope, never heard of that.

 

[DJ]

Have you tried viagra?

Allegedly, that is so 1990's/2000's.

Cialis is the wonder performance drug of the 2018. A friend told me.
