Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[trojanfan12]

I'm hoping they have some pride and come out on fire.

If they are lackadaisical from the opening tip, Fin.

^^^This^^

If the Celtics come out as you suggest, they have a great shot at evening the series. If the Cavs come out anything close to the way they did in game 1...there's no point in the Celtics even getting on the plane to Cleveland.

Warriors weren't completely healthy in the Finals last year, but they weren't really that unhealthy either.

Bogust missed 2.5 games.
Love missed 1.5 games.

That series gets an overall stamp of health from me.

Yes and no. Heatles is correct about Bogut having been important to the Warriors interior defense. Once he went down, the Cavs could pretty much get to the rim unchecked. The loss of Draymond hurt their rhythm, but I think the Bogut loss was more important. They should have been able to get their offensive mojo back when Dray came back, but they didn't and that's on them (and the Cavs defense).

There was a little luck involved with Bogut going down and Dray being stupid. But, luck is part of winning titles. No team has ever won a title with out some kind of luck...even if that luck is just keeping everyone healthy.

It seems like IT is too worried about how people perceive him and his team instead of just playing. He is in his own head or Lebron is lol.

I'm taking the Warriors in 5 with zero caveats on health.

I want the Warriors to fall so badly.

But, this is gonna be a beating of biblical proportions.

Hopefully, but we'll see.
LeBron is unreal right now.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen Lebron play this good. He wins the title this year, he's vaulted in my number 2 all-time.

Tied for #1 for me if he beats the SuperFriends assembled just to stop him. Jordan never beat a team this good 4 of 7

 

[LogicMan]

On which side?

I think Boston wins tonight.

But, not in a blowout.

That guy doesn't speak for the Miami fanbase.

Lebron's also responsible for tearing that Heat team apart and ruining a potential dynasty.

Nah you can thank Mr. Scumbag for that...I mean Riley

I don't get it. Why's Riley a scumbag in this context?

Honestly, he's been remarkable. But, this Dubs team is no easy feat & even with LBJ on another level his team mates are going to have to join that party in order to win again. IMO that's not likely, not even close.

Also, if he can beat this Warriors team by himself then he deserves to be called the King IMO.

you guys know I have always defended Lebron but god damn when he is up by 30 and then he starts crying in front of the ref I just wanted kick his boys. I mean that dude is such a whiny beech. (ok, I got that off my chest)

 

[Inimical]

They have no one to defend Lebron. And if Lebron guards Isiah its over. And if Durant plays D the way he has been Lebron is going to win another title.

No one's going to defend Lebron in terms of shutting him down. But Golden St. has defenders that match up to where they can be effective - Klay, Draymond, Iggy and Durant to a degree. Who on the Celtics can guard Lebron?

This is why i choose Lebron on all my DFS leagues lol. And he had a fucking monster game. Unless they figure it out i dont know how they will win a game. Especially if the lose the next one. Its a wrap.
