Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[Heatles84]

I agree with you on that - and I personally would prefer to leave a hot shooter in there, but I do remember Phil Jackson did the same thing - His explanation was that if you leave him in there too long, the others will get cold and out of rythem and it would do more harm then good - He liked to keep the rotations as consistent is possible - In the playoffs, however I am now inclined it should be the same - a team with a limited bench is going to put heavier minutes on the starters or hottest players if they want to win - IMO

Unfortunately for Cleveland, their perimeter shooters are Love, Korver and Smith. Love plays a different role than the other two. So really it comes down Korver or Smith.

is it me, or is LeClown looking like he's losing a bit of steam as the game goes on...?

Perceived 2 best players.

I’d be exploring trades

Especially Irving. I think Heyward fits in better with these kids.

 

[DJ]

LOL.

 

[Heatles84]

Boston has to make their shots though. Missing too many good looks.

 

[Heatles84]

Especially Irving. I think Heyward fits in better with these kids.

I'm thinking the same thing.

I just might win my vcash bet after all

In danger of going down 0-2 to a team of Sophomores and Rookies. Pfffttt

With the best coach in the league.

Morris getting cute....

With the best coach in the league.

Wait, I thought Popovich and the Spurs were eliminated and the Warriors are playing Houston?

 

[msgkings322]

Still not over, but obviously going to be a long series and now Boston is likely to win.

 

[DorianRo]

It must be another "feel out game"

 

[msgkings322]

Wait, I thought Popovich and the Spurs were eliminated and the Warriors are playing Houston?

Pop has the resume and accolades, but to coach my team today right now I want Stevens. Pop is probably #2.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I’m embarrassed

All they did is win 2 home games

James with a wild shot....

No prob.
Gilbert can spend another 100M.
Maybe Tristan can recruit Lamar Odom?

The problem is that Cleveland does not have enough help - Personally I think the Cavaliers had a better shooter with Isaiah Thomas then either Clarkson or Nance jr - but everyone seemed to have thought that the Lakers go short changed. Boston even without Hayward and Irving is really a balanced shooting team

 

[DorianRo]

If Lebron loses this series he's out of the top 10 for sure. More like top 15.

 

[DJ]

Boston wants it more....

Jaylen picking on Kyle...
