2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[WiggyRuss]

You'd probably laugh more if it were the Heat.

id move to Canada---- actually....id seriously consider moving- but if trump wins that would be the straw that broke the camels back, id be gone.

This Jazz/Celtics game is really good.

Jazz up 1 with 2 to go. Miami needs Boston to lose

you promise?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Actually, if the Heat play like they did against the Warriors I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Cavs. I also think if Toronto keeps it together they have a shot at beating them as well if they meet up.

Cavs should win the East, but, perception right now is that it wouldn't be near as easy as last year.

What? I had you pegged as a Trump supporter. LOL

 

[WiggyRuss]

They played 9 guys tonight.......He was not one of them

ohh.. Rj is there too--- well after yesterday i think Lue is gonna start giving RJ some regular minutes again.. the guy plays hard- i mean, he only got 7 minutes....it was really 8...and really the 8th guy only got 17....thats some PLAYOFF short rotation right there.

 

[MiamiVice]

You gotta love someone that lives in a shit hole like Ohio saying they will move to canada if trump is elected... you need trump to want to move from that dump of a state?

itst he perception

at this time last year- the Cavs --- 6 weeks before hand- in Mid January were like 19-20...lol.....and like the 6th seed or something like that

now they are playing at a +700 clip- everyone is healthy, they have a coach they like, a deeper roster, and the guys have played together longer...

ignore the noise

Cavs lost 2 games in the East last year....MAYBE they lose 3 games this year

Mack playing good....impressing his college coach

East is much tougher this season. I'll say they lose between 5 and 7 games

Like you said, nothing better then league pass.

Should win? Sure, but we all know that what should happen isn't always what ends up happening. I could see the Cavs implode-plenty of time left in the reg season.

I'm just waiting for Toronto to take the #1 seed in the East. Had they not rested Lowry last night they might have won & only be 1/2 game out. The Cavs just seem real shaky still-and it's almost April already.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Im really shocked the Raptors didnt make a move for a PF...they suck at that position and its gonna ahur them....they need another scorer...if DeRozan or Lowry have just a slight off night - the other guy has to play OUT OF HIS MIND just for the game to be good. Raptors got SWEPT out of the 1st round by the Wizards last year pathetically- they have a LOT to prove before I would even consider them worth worrying about for the Cavs

Boston is just not built for the playoffs AT ALL.....Isiah Thomas is your best scorer? You AINT EVER winning a series against LeBron- not if you played it a thousand times

Hawks? LOL...Hawks were awesome last year won 60+ and the Cavs just EMBARASSED them without a full team.....



The Cavs own the East...everyone knows it.

I'll stand by my statement.
I think they win it, but not near as easily.
Seems like you just put up a number we can bet on?

 

[bksballer89]

You're up 2 and you allow an uncontested 3 with 30 seconds to go in the 4th. That is unacceptable. You need to know the score. If they tie game oh well but you can't let them even attempt a 3

Healthy Heat will cause problems with anyone in the East.
That being said, we could lose to several teams IMO.
It's that fragile.

the irony of someone from Detroit saying that is just too much....

all though I do have to say I enjoyed Michigan- just about every summer when I was younger we went up to my Uncle Bob's estate north of Detroit in Clarkston- he was a retired exec for a car supplier---- he actually sold his boat to Bill Laimbeer- and when I say boat- i really mean yacht!

 

[bksballer89]

6'8 Hayward just got blocked by the 6'2 Avery Bradley. Unacceptable.

Now they allow the offensive rebound after Bradley misses a ft.

This is a perfect example of how you lose a game in the final 30 seconds after having a lead. Absolute disaster

That's exactly how I would describe the Cavs.
