How much time off did the Cavs have between the 1st & 2nd rounds?

8 days

Love is undefeated in his career in the playoffs. Yes, I know he has only played the Celtics, pistons, and Hawks.

force of Nature....

you just dont beat Kevin Love in the playoffs...lol.....

[WiggyRuss]

Hawks fought today though...gotta give them some credit.

Kevin Love > Kobe Bryant

Rough series @Demonjoe93. Hawks were competitive and are a better team than the current perception, imo. Schroeder and Bazemore have bright futures.

Schroeder definitely has my endorsement. Jury is still out on Bazemore. My only concern is what he's going to demand since he's a free agent.

Do I really have to?




(just kidding)

Kevin Love with 19 and 13 in that series.......not a bad stat line....

Cavs are really coming together as a team....all the injuries and roster movement and coach change --- everything has finally settled down and we are getting what we expected when you put 3 ultra-talented players like Love, Irving nad LeBron together.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Now it is time for them to rest, and refocus, and get ready for the next challenge and the next step.

8 wins away...lets hope they can figure out how to win 8 more games.

Lets hope Miami and Toronto keep on running eachother into the ground for a few days so the Cavs can rest while the rest of the NBA claws tooth-and-nail...

I would love to either get Kevin Durant or Hassan Whiteside.

I think Durant should sign w/ the Celtics.

Could happen too. Aren't you guys going to have plenty of cap space?

From what I remember yeah.

 

[Demonjoe93]

From what I remember yeah.

Is it possible for the Hawks to sign Durant and re-sign Horford if we sign Durant first? I'm not certain how the salary cap rules work. I know you can go over the cap to a point to re-sign a player.

Good question. I'm like you though, not really sure how the cap works either.

I hope you can. I would love to have a lineup of Schroeder, Korver (might have to stick with him in this scenario), Durant, Millsap, and Horford.

I just hope the Celtics try to upgrade the roster this off season. As it is now I think this group has reached it's potential.

You also have the Nets' first rounder, right?

Yep. From suckering them into giving up way too much for Pierce & KG.
