Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[tlance]

Cavs minus LeBron are garbage, but it's not that simple.
He handpicked most of the roster to compliment HIS game.

Did he though?

Not this roster. Sorry.

The fact that the Cavs didn't trade the Nets pick is proof LeBron wasn't making the decisions.

Watching Pawn Stars, just stopped in to see if there has been a Wiggy sighting....

Yeah, good point. They know he's gone so they weren't trading that pick. That's the future.

The Cavs not trading the Nets pick was proof James wouldn't agree to stay.
Yes, James didn't push for Kyrie to leave, he was just the cause of it.

James handpicked Love before he left Miami.
He chose to make sure JR and Tristan were overpaid.
He wanted every buyout player on the roster.
He quit on the team in Feb to make sure that major change of roster happened.

Me too.
8 pm dinner approaching soon.
I doubt Wiggly posts tonight.

Game one goes down as I expected. Thank you Brad for not letting Kevin Love look like a super star he is not. As far as everything else, nice intensity. Its just game one. Hope they can hold serve again.

For sure you can see in this series that 20 year olds run faster than 30 and 35 year olds.

 

[LogicMan]

Maybe I should add a deep atta boy for Ainges Detroit trade. Morris brings us so much grit and athleticism. I have been so surprised at his game

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yeah, good point. They know he's gone so they weren't trading that pick. That's the future.

That has nothing to do with who currently is on the roster.
Of course he prob wanted to add, but why would Gilbert do that?
The reason he wanted to add was because the pieces he chose are fodder to the Warriors, if not the Celtics.

Wiggy is still going to be waving his dick around. He said the Cavs would split the series in Boston so it's still part of the plan. Lol

He did pick Boston game 1.
Still, I doubt he expected that visual.

So much for the claim that Horford couldn't guard Love lol

And Wiggy also said, "I'm sure LeBron is losing sleep over Morris."

Um, yeah.....about that.....Morris pretty much did a great job guarding James.

he SAID he could. He backed it up for one game anyways...

 

[DJ]

Lol didn’t he try last year. He is an a average defender at best.

 

[Gman]

Morris is the best star player stopper since Ruben Patterson.

Horford has really grown this last year as well

 

[DJ]

Cleveland averaged 118 ppg in the series vs Toronto. Boston can’t win scoring in the 90s.

They scored more than the 90's in game one.

108 to be exact.

*Cough, cough*

The Cavs scored 83.

 

[BigKen]

As bad as LeBron played today, the Cavs defense wasn't great. The Celtics had three players, Horford, Morris and Brown who scored 20 or more.

Stevens said in his post game press conference that he fully expects the Cavs to throw a heavyweight punch Tuesday night.

If the Celts win Tuesday, I think panic will start to set in on the Cavs.

Jaylen Brown got something to say about that:

 

[Kold]

With it being Mother's Day, I saw none of this game. I'm guessing Brad Stevens game-planning struck again?
