Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: 1) Cleveland Cavaliers (57-25) vs. 2) Toronto Raptors (56-26)

It would be nice. He's been a huge part of that team he deserves to play in the conference finals.

JV is a r eally really good player..young...hard worker....one of the best young big men in the East...I loved how he outplayed Whiteside. He is on a great contract, is young, and will only get better with that work ethic and attitude....

Wiggy you betting me with bro?

Yep Winslow, Richardson, and Deng are all trash defenders. The Heat perimeter defense is actually better than the Cavs

thats a joke right?

Winslow and Richardson are rookies that would get DOMINATED vs. the Cavs in their first postseason.

Delly, Shumpert, LeBron, Jefferson is a MUCH better contingent of perimeter defenders...not even close- that DESTROYS the Heats perimeter defenders....not even a contest. Shit- Tristan Thompson is even EXCELLENt at switching onto guards!!!- part of the reason he is so valuable...i knew he would have a bigger postseason impact than Whiteside- never doubted it for a millisecond.

poor guy wont have to guard Curry for 30+ minutes a night like last Finals.....

seriously- guy has so heart and has improved so much..he literally passed out walking to his car last year in the Finals because he had just given everything he has...

this year between Kyrie being healthy and making Curry work on the defensive side, and Shumpert being healthy and another body we can throw on Curry- and Delly being healthy and another body the Cavs can throw on Curry- and LeBron being able to focus more on the defensive end after not being able to last Finals...I feel REALLY good about the contingent of options the Cavs can throw at Curry...

no one can guard the guy in the entire NBA....but having multiple solid defenders that the Cavs keep well rested - will give him different looks and hopefully wear him down a little bit...at least thats the idea i guess...much much much easier said than done.

Did he say he thinks they'll sweep?

Several times. Actually just made another mentioned of it on the WCF thread this morning. He pretty much said if Cleveland win tonight they're going to sweep.

Checking if he's all talk or not

I just hope it goes 7 and Steph Curry has to play as many minutes as possible...maybe an OT game or two...while i also hope the Cavs finish off the Raptors quickly- in what i think will LIKELY be a "Gentleman's Sweep"- all though i dont discount the chances of an ACTUAL sweep. I think we will see tonight.

If Toronto win's game 1 because the Cavs are rusty- the series goes 6.....if the Cavs win game 1, get their rhythm back....you can get out the brooms.

There you go @SlinkyRedfoot

 

[WiggyRuss]

There you go @SlinkyRedfoot

i believe that too...i think the Cavs run a risk of losing tonight as they have not played in WELL over a week...but if they win i think they should cruise. If they lose I can see Toronto getting a little confidence and pushing it to 6....just as i said in that psot.

Are you going to take the bet or not? That's all I want to know

what bet? if they win game 1 that they will sweep or if they lose game 1 it wil lgo 6? LOL

and just because i think a thing is LIKELY to happen and is what my prediction is doesnt mean im gonna bet it...

I also thought the Thundr would win in 6 vs. the Spurs...i certainly was not in a hurry to bet it...

now if u want to bet me. the Raptors vs. Cavs- who wins- than YAH- lets do it! LOL

to be able to correctly pick the number of games and the winner of the series is not exactly an easy thing to do- though i do appreciate your applause for NAILING the OKC/Spurs series

 

[bksballer89]

what bet? if they win game 1 that they will sweep or if they lose game 1 it wil lgo 6? LOL

If they win game 1 they will sweep. Deal?

I agree that if they lose any of the first 2 home games that it is at least a 6 game series

 

[WiggyRuss]

i think the only series i have incorrectly picked thus far is the Miami/Raptors...i thought Miami would win that one...especially after winning game 1 in Toronto...but alas...we didnt get the series we all wanted to see...ohh well.

Seems to me that based on what he said, you should be looking for an avi bet on tonight's game only or, that if the Cavs win, they'll sweep.

What do you two say, @bksballer89, @WiggyRuss?

I'm willing to make this bet. Is wiggy man enough?

It's just a fucking avi bet. It's fun and adds a little excitement. If you lose, you might be lucky enough to be dressed in a pic of a hot momma like I am.

It's hilarious how scared he is of av bets. You would think we're betting $1,000 bucks or something
