Series Thread: 2nd Round: Cleveland Cavs vs Toronto Raptors

[DorianRo]

Fuck, the Wizards could beat the Cavs if they would quit blowing big leads on the road. They should have swept the Celtics already if not or the blown leads in the first 2 games. They TOYED with the Celtics at home. They just need to get their shit together on the road

Not reading this either, you suck, your posting style sucks, your basketball acumen sucks, everything about you absolutely sucks, I'm not going to put you on ignore because I'm not a hoe, but just let it be known that if you quote one of my posts, I'm not going to read what you have to say, because once again, you ABSOLUTELY SUCK.

That sure was a lot of commas with zero use of periods.

Not sure how many people expected the Warriors to sweep EITHER team-much less both. Most predicted at least a win in each series, with some even giving Utah 2 games.

Most didn't have Utah in the series, most had the Clippers I'm pretty sure.

You're right...up til Blake went down. Then most figured the Clips weren't winning that one. So then it became how many games would Utah get.

I was one of the few people who said from the beginning that Utah would win.

And most thought the Raptors would force 6 or 7 games like they did last year.

I was actually prepared to post videos of his deficiencies.

But, I would crash the server.

Just to be clear.....

Are you honestly suggesting that based on that one play that Love is not an albatross on defense?

Love sucks on defense in the regular season, he's a bit better in the playoffs.


Really good word use with albatross there babe.

Correct again....and I was one of the few people here who thought otherwise. I only game them 1 game...and they couldn't even get that prior to Lowry going down.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

so if Kyrie and Love run a pick and roll, McGee is gonna switch on Kyrie and Curry is gonna guard Love????? lol

He'll no...lol

Sub, sub, sub....

And vice versa...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

LOL

can u even imagine JaVale trying to gaurd Love on the perimeter? that would be high comedy.

No, he'd foul out.

They'd have to go with West or Draymond.

I just don't see any of the traditional bigs, outside Thompson playing a ton.

You can put Bron at the four. But, you can't put Love at the 5....lol

According to Wiggy there is a rotation when Love plays the 5. I am hoping to see that line up against the Dubs.

Once again Lad, you are quoting posts of when I'm talking about majority of people, I never said @LAD said Utah were world beaters, did I?

You were right, in both instances, but most people were wrong.

You're smarter than most people, congrats.

Listen, I'm not taking anything personal. I am no Einstein but am far from dumb. I know you're talking about the majority here & I'm debating some of those things.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I mean @Mecca if the Warriors think they can get away guarding Love with McGee- they will get burnt to a crisp by that.

At least Love occupies Draymond defensively- which is important.

Maybe if I explained my thought process better, you will u understand that I'm not bashing Love.

Rebounding and defense will be important.

But, Love is a liability in the perimeter and every player in the death lineup can score from out there.

My fear for the Cavs is that when the game is on the line, they will be trading 2's for 3's because he's getting burnt on every play or Dude's are going right around him to the rim, throwing lobs or getting Thompson influx trouble.

At least with Frye and Korver, you'd have the chance to trade 3's for 3's.

They have to many weapons.

You can't stop them.

But, you can slow them down and try to outscore them......in theory...lol

You are right.

Have been on almost every series.

Yeah, I was singing that tune last week of the Season.

Nah...They need another major piece.

But, they won't get swept.

They can play him there against every Team in the NBA playoffs, except the Warriors.

Well, no.....

I'll take that back.

If West is at the 5, yeah....

See I think West is a good match-up against Love. It would be a battle of strength & skill. I don't think any two players from either side are more evenly matched.

Pretty hard to fully recover when you're playing vs rehab/resting.
You cant be this naive.

Wanna bet?

 

[trojanfan12]

LOL

Not necessarily. McGee is more athletic and Love is a spot up shooter. It's not that difficult for an athletic player to guard a guy who's just going to stand in one spot.

The trick though, would be getting McGee to actually go out to the perimeter consistently. Centers hate having to venture out of the paint.
