Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[DJ Fieri]

Just looked at the 08 combine results, the year George Hill got drafted, and he had the lowest body fat at 3%. Isn’t 3% considered unhealthy? Lol

Fuck that shit, I like to eat.

thats what im saying

maybe at some point people will wise up....

but maybe not.

like i said- i couldnt possibly pick James and the Cavs to lose in the EAst until it actually happens unless LeBron got his foot cut off or something.....

maybe at some point people will realize the Cavs regular season team and the Cavs playoff team are two totally different animals. But you know what Einstein said- the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Kind of like going to the Finals again and again and expecting to actually win?

All credit go to the Miami Heat organization IMO

Celtics will D up the Cavs much better than the ball-less Raptors did. Since they are 10x better coached and not nearly as soft and play with more pride.

Offensive firepower will be their problem. I don't care how good your D is. You still have to score.

Like I said, would have been a great series IF the Celtics were fully healthy (I would have taken them in 6) but you just can't beat a quality team like the Cavs with two future HOFers and a few 3 pointing sharpshooter MISSING them. Gotta be a full strength. Bottom line.

Just not enough offensive firepower.

Since @WiggyRuss is dodging the question, lets open it up to the board as trivia.

Why did Griffin leave the Cavs?

Gilbert is a control freak for 500, Alex.

Of course. He didn’t have anything in Cleveland. He had veterans, veterans that never won. He learned out to be a winner from the players, coaches and Riley, at least he had a decent coach. He hasn’t had a great coach his entire career. Imagine if he did

Sorry.
That is incorrect.

nope

just after LeBron left

its why the Heat have the worst collection of draft picks in the league and a terrible cap situation and are probably the worst equipped team in the league to acquire a star talent.

Riley is throwing 75MPH gopher balls.

how else do you explain a combined 45 million a year for Tyler Johnson and Hassan Whiteside each of the next 2 years?

If only he had your wisdom or resume.

If the cavs can continue to play at this level, their experience will win this series in 7.

I am hoping they finish it at home in 6.

Split in Boston.....split at home, win game 5 and game 6.

Thats my prediction. hopefully it comes true.

well- hopefully the Cavs sweep them - but Boston is tough, well coached, and does not make mistakes.

it would be interesting to see LeBron with a legit top tier coach.....but to a certain extent i dont think he wants that- i dont think he wants a system etc.....he is the system and i think he likes it that way.
