Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[DorianRo]

Worst #1 seed ever? Should have lost in Round 1 really to the Bulls before Rondo went down.

I think so

 

[The Derski]

Too easy

TT

What an embarrassment. Wake me up on June 1st when the finals begin

Kind of sums up the whole season....

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I'm not so sure. I could see the home team winning every game...

I doubt it.
Championship teams win road games.
Wonder when the last time a champ won all 4 at home.

Real talk

Pretty much but at least in the regular season there were some fun teams/individual players to watch perform nightly.

This is just awful

The celtics floor looks like the floor in dillards

I gotta say, before the playoffs started I thought the Warriors would (if healthy) roll the Cavs in 5-6. But seeing how well LeBron is playing, and how their defense has flipped the switch, I still expect a Ws win but feels like a close 7 gamer. I've gone from 90% chance for the Ws to maybe 65%.

If the Cavs are gonna play Defense like this. (Leaving so many guys with wide open J's and 3s) they're in for a series of hell.

Lebron is great but he can only do so much if the D is lazy (which for the most part it has been for MONTHS). They can rely on their offense to get through the East Scrubs. But not against a superior offensive team like the Warriors and which Im sure is gonna be a dialed in, focused Durant who wants that title more than anyone

Yeah I was exaggerating some, even knowing the likely Finals matchup you can still enjoy watching young players develop, great performances like Westbrook, etc.

I love the NBA, but the regular season tanking combined with mostly boring, drawn out playoff series is trying my patience.

We'll see I think you are underestimating the best player since Jordan (and the best player in the series to come). Also, David West I bet wants that ring too LOL

 

[bksballer89]

Lebron went to the ground for a loose ball in the ECF and Reggie is acting like it is some great effort play. You should expect that from your all players at this time of the season

Celts got this

Yeah I hear you. Out of all the 4 major sports, the NBA playoffs by far provides the least drama. It is just very predictable

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow. Great defense

The 1 or 2 seed wins like 90% of the time

 

[TJL]

Warriors win at home without Kawhi on Spurs, nothing but total domination talk.

Cavs bullying the #1 Celts on their home floor, "boring, wake me June 1st"



THE SWITCH EXIST, AND YOU BEST BELIEVE IT'S BEEN TURNED ON.

THE JUICE IS ON THE LOOOOOOOOSE.

 

[DorianRo]

We could get 5-6 STRAIGHT finals of the Warriors/Cavs, unless players start team stacking. This is terrible for the NBA. The rest of these teams are filled with SOO MANY average to even shit players it isn't even funny

 

[bksballer89]

Yep it is sad. I don't care for Hockey but it is very nice in a sport where half of the league makes the playoffs, we have lower seeds making deep runs all the time.

I believe this is the 4th straight year it is 1 vs 2 in the ECF
