Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[TurnUpTheHeat]

no Love or LeClown is gonna be AWFULLY ugly for the Cavs next season...

he is SOOOO gone...

#catchingthefirstthingsmokin

Im not so sure he’s gone.
I think it depends on a few things.

1. How these Finals go.

2. If Gilbert will allow James to dictate the terms of his contract if he wants to stay.

3. What can the Cavs turn Love and their first round pick into.

I also think the results of tonights game is potentially huge for the Rockets.

As far as him blowing off Gilbert, its nothing new or different.
He never has or will forgive him for the exit letter.

I don't think they were lucky to not have faced the Sixers but I also think the Sixers would have given the Cavs a lot of problems.

I'd agree with this sentiment as far as the match-ups would've been concerned...

C's did well, but Philly has equal athleticism and more size. might've made a difference...

I think the young pups weren't quite ready. They couldn't buy a point. Next year should be awesome. Lebron did was was needed. I hope they get swept.

actually i can see all that. and i can also admit that Dan Gilbert'll wanna stay relevant if he can...

more acquiescence coming...?

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

C's ain't no joke...

The Sixers were also 60 seconds from winning at least 2 of those games.

The Sixers were outcoached in that series.

Agreed.

Just saying though, the Pacers and Celtics have the Cavs lots of problems too. The only reason the Raptors didn't is because they were scared.

Terrible time for the Celtics to forget how to shoot. Honestly didn't think they'd get this far once Irving went out but I must give them credit for it. Sadly they won't be continuing but it was a great season!

As far as LeBron goes... Yes, he was a nice block but don't just stand there afterwards looking like a complete idiot! I will give him credit for throwing respect to Tatum however!

You know what is a joke? The Lakers.

 

[Battlelyon]

Stop it.

Lebron was an absolute beast no doubt.

However, the Cavs were taken to 7 games by the Pacers.

If the Raptors had even one players whose balls have dropped, they would likely have taken the Cavs to at least 6 games.

Then, a Celtics team missing it's 2 best players, used Al Horford and a bunch of kids to take the Cavs to 7 games.

To accomplish that, it took what has been arguably the best playoffs he's ever played.

If the Pacers had more experience or the Celtics had Kyrie and Hayward, I doubt the Cavs get out of the East. Even with how Lebron played.

A lot of ifs, LeBron makes a lot of people say if.

Yeah. And the Cavs don't have the horses to D up the Sixers like the Celtics did.

Before the 2nd round started I had said that the Sixers would beat the Cavs IF they get there. But I still had concerns with them going into the 2nd round. I did think they would win but it was far from certain.

Did you see JR Smith grab that trophy & run off stage last night? The organization is looking for him. He ran out the back door of the arena last night & as of an hour ago JR put it on e-bay.

 

[flyerhawk]

Agreed.

Oh no doubt. This is a not very good Cavs team plus one of the greatest players of all time.

The Raptors were doomed once they missed 12 or so straight shots that would have given them the W in Game 1.

oh yeah...?

well, yo' mama's a Lakers fan...

 

[DJ]

And it's a longshot but I'm Mr Longshot.....

If James and the Cavs can beat the W's......I think it cements James as the best ever.

Below average coach and not enough of a supporting cast going vs a team that is loaded.....

They are also struggling without Iggy......who is the best defender they have against James IMO....

#NotgoingtobsurprisedifCavswin

For some reason I forgot about the game 7 tonight.

I actually am leaning towards Houston at home without Iggy but if GS wins.....

She is not!

She is not!

muaaaaahahahahaaaaa...

No.
I turned it off right after the game.

Lets not forget Kendrick Perkins and Okura White are also EC champions.

Funny you'd mention Perkins. He's gonna be the Cavs secret weapon in the Finals. And the other guy, never heard of him.
