I think they may be frightened of the wrath of Pasta.

I mean, aren't we all?

No one wants to get hit in the head with a clipboard.

YOU WANT A FUCKING PREDICTION! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT!

Cavs in 7. They get their first series win since Lebron and it is vitale for taking their next step. This has to be a series people come out of it saying…wow Garland is a rising star and Mobley can do everything. Don’t put it all on Mitchell. He shouldn’t have to put 35-40 game. Guys need to step and this team needs to get back to playing elite defense.

Not even if it helps you play better?

Playoffs can be great for a guy like Mobley. He’s going to learn through familiarity of the opponent that he is a matchup nightmare and he will have something that he can exploit over and over and over again in the series. I love that kid and hope he continues to rise.

entire group seems to be very likeable guys and Mobley for sure near top of list. Incredibly boring interview but that might not be a bad thing.

 

[dtgold88]

Lotsa words from @WiggyRuss and @dtgold88 but did either make a pick yet for this series?

I did not nor will I.....as mentioned earlier, I have not picked a team of mine to win an important series or game since The Fumble.

Knicks in 6

 

[dtgold88]

It looks like they’re predicting that a series will be played between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knickerbockers. After that…who knows.

sounds about right.

agree it cannot be all Mitchell and Garland needs to be as important overall. DM may score more but Garland might need to be in the 7-10 apg range.

for some reason I feel like the Cavs are on their back foot and the Knicks are on their front foot.

I think Randle is gonna be fine- and this series is spread out over like almost 3 weeks.

I dont like that the Cavs are the favorites- 51 wins, home court- it feels like they are going to be too comfortable. I hope they are not.

The Knicks seem hungrier for some reason is what I am trying to say.

Lets hope the Cavs talent can overocme.

Knicks in 5...

 

[fightinfunbags]

I can’t see all these Knicks picks in less than 6 games. The Cavs had the 5th best home record in the league. They’re really good there. I have less faith in them having to steal one on the road but they’ve been great at home.

Well that makes a ton of sense. Carry on.

Game 1 is big in every playoff series but definitely for the Knicks in this series. If they fall behind 0-1 it’s over in my opinion

Interesting. How do you get to that belief before the Knicks will have even had a home game in the series? I think the Knicks are likely coming in with the goal that they have three attempts to steal in game 1,2,5. I agree that game 1 is the best one to get but they would have two more chances if they can do the job at home.

Yep losing a road game 1 means very little

But a home game down 0-1 still won’t help the Knicks they need game 1

But I’m saying with the lack of playoff experience the Knicks franchise has game 1 is huge if you ask me. Where like game 1 for the lakers on the road with a loss is different cuz they have a lot of experience of going down home 0-1 but not the Knicks

Hopefully they are seeing the predictions from the talking heads as while I heard of one (Rose...but didn't see him say it), I haven't seen/heard anyone pick the Cavs to win.
