As well you should. I'm just saying it's not that impressive to do what's expected. For teams in Cleveland's position, "impressive" starts in the conference finals.

Believe me, I would love for the Lakers to be back in the position the Cavs are right now and having people nitpick each win. When the Lakers were in that position, I even joined in on nitpicking some of their wins.

I always enjoyed the playoffs and the wins, but the first 2 rounds were basically expected wins. It was just a matter of how many games it was going to take.

Guess what I'm saying is that your team is too good for 1st and 2nd round wins to be considered impressive. In a way, it sucks because it does make the first couple of rounds a bit less exciting, but that's how it is when you are a championship or bust level team. I remember what it was like to be a fan of that kind of team (although it's starting to fade a little lol).

how about you old sad bastards stop raining on our parade!

this is the playoffs! LeBron looks amazing!!! the Big 3- according to Ty Lue has NEVER played better together....Kyrie is averaging 26 points a game and shooting over 50% from 3....Love looks AGGRESSIVE for once!!! Some people on here picked this to go 6 games and it sure seems like the Cavs are gonna bring out the brooms and get some time off- while GSW plays a longer series against Houston and is trying to get Steph healthy...

not only that but Shumpert has been playing great D...Delly plays great D, gets assists and NEVER turns the ball over...Jr Smith rains triples

We so very thoroughly apologize for getting excited about our team and the NBA playoffs.....sorry....cue the old sad bastard music....

Maybe post your glory on a Cavs page thread?
If you post it here, you know what's coming.

This was just the 6th playoff game for the Cavs when Love, Irving, & LeBron play. (6-0)

Yet so many seem to have their mind made up on this trio.

All in the 1st round against 7/8 seeds.

Can't disagree right now. Cavs are definitely clicking.

I'll just say that it will get exponentially tougher starting in the ECF and Finals. First two rounds are going to be a wash for the Cavs.

Fans of teams that have actually won something don't get excited and hold parades for beating an 8 seed. Regardless of whether or not people predicted the Cavs to lose a game or 2, no one picked them to lose the series. They are doing what they are supposed to do as the 1 seed.

I agree with this. It'd be one thing if the situations were reversed and the Pistons somehow found themselves up 3-0 on a 1 seed. The Cavs are doing what they're supposed to be doing. Heat fans did a lot of bragging about our team, but winning 4-0 or 4-1 in the 1st round generated very little excitement. It was 2nd round and beyond where we knew the real matchups were coming.

And for the Cavs, the 2nd round will be cake walk as well since they're facing either Boston or Atlanta, which will take them no more than 5 games to win that respective series.

Well it'll only take the Cavs 3 games to beat the Heat in the ECF!

The Cavs & the Heat better not fuck anything up. I really wanna see a Cleveland/Miami ECF.

You guys are probably going to lose to Atlanta.

@Ragingcroc
Not sure how much Heat you watch, but would you rather have
Drummond or Whiteside as your C, long term?

Anyone else?

Not sure since I don't watch much Heat basketball. I would probably say Whiteside is a better defender but Drummond is very good defender even though he gets lost and is timid on rotations at times. Drummond has the rebound edge. Drummond might be slightly better on offense but he's still pretty raw and over relies on the hook shot. Once the ball goes into on the post, he's going to shoot a hook shot even if he's 10+ feet out. I think Whiteside probably takes too many mid range shots which hurts his team. He's only a 43% mid range shooter. Drummond is a better passer but not good at it yet. Of course, there's Drummond's issue with FTs. Its possible they could end up making a rule change though.

I would say they are pretty even but I would have to go with my guy.

Either way, both are getting max contracts.

Mic drop? No way Jose! This fat-fuck broke all of them before he got admitted to the Looney Bin...









And I agree, the Hawks are winning that series.

The shit talking between the 2 fan bases could be some really funny stuff.

I found one that works, and I'm sorry for your loss. But you still have a chance in the series, all kidding aside. This is Atlanta we're talking about. They're bound to herp derp at some point.

I just think the Celtics have reached their potential for this season. Like I said I do want them to advance but I don't see that happening.
