Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

You really are dumb. He's gonna quit on my team? I've been a Celtics fan since the early 80's, but I've told you that before. So you have an issue w/ me being an Indians fan? Hey @ least I'm a real sports fan & not a troll like you.

I'm also a UNLV fan, I was a hoops season ticket holder when I lived in Vegas. You have an issue w/ that as well?

never did get the geographic thing. it'd be different if you were switching teams every chance you got...

dorian's just a goofball. I've lived in multiple states & have grown attached to certain teams. And I have always rooted for the same teams.

Well if it makes you feel any better I'm from L.A. also. Lower Akron though. That really is 1 of the nicknames of my part of town where I grew up.

Wow..

IF The Warriors want to they sweep the Celtics.. Case closed. IF they really wanted to they could have swept the Rockets but they were happy with just getting the split and not kill themselves for Game 2. Everyone knows they mailed it in to start the game and at the half.

Theres NOTHING the Celtics can do about it. Whether or not the Warriors want to sweep or not is solely up to the Warriors and how hard they play.

Pretty sure you also said the Cavs would sweep the Celtics.

I’m not reading through this thread, but can somebody tell me me why Clarkson, Nance, Hill, and Hood were doing so good before they joined the Cavs but are all struggling playing with the greatest player of all time?

If Ainge calls you about a trade, you better hang up the phone because more than likely you're gonna get fleeced. And if you do deal with him you'll be left wondering what the hell just happened and he'll be like...

The Lakers and Jazz actually have bonafide coaches with bonafide, 21st century offensive systems. Pure role players like those mentioned above can actually put up numbers (to a certain extent) within those plans.

By contrast: the Cav's have only one offensive strategy, more or less... LeBron.

Ranking the most useless Cavaliers that is fucking hilarious.

But seriously, they may be getting a little ahead of themselves, this series could easily be tied 2-2 coming back to Boston.

That's about as good an explanation I've heard.

Kudos.

I think the Cavs will play a lot better but I think the Celtics will win a close one and get a split. Expect both games to be very close.

They're also making the Raptors look even worse for getting swept by the Cavs.

Not really, some teams just have some teams number.

 

[Manster7588]

Just wait until that greasy Pat Riley gets LeBron to return to Miami next year. Then you'll change your tune.

Now that would be funny.
Lebron, ditches wide for his mistress, returns to wife, ditching mistress, then returns to mistress.

True, but the Raptors were the #1 seed, fully healthy and pretty much everything they did last off-season and during this season was to take down Lebron and the Cavs...they got swept.

Meanwhile, the Celtics, minus their 2 best players, have a 2-0 lead in the ECF on the team that the Raptors were all geared up to beat.

That's not a good look for the Raptors and cost the coach of the year his job.

Didn't you know that Lebron makes everyone around him better?

 

[WiggyRuss]

if anyone will give me 2-1 odds I will bet on the Cavs to win this series despite being down 2-0 at this point.

Everyone nationally WANTS Cleveland to lose, to lose LeBron etc.....but i think they are in for a big ole soggy shit sandwich.

Well, I'm still sticking with my Cavs prediction. Don't know if they'll win in 6 now, probably more likely 7.

But this series, along with the Indiana first round series just re-enforced my belief that Cleveland's not winning the title.

You mean that sandwich you've been nibbling on the past 2 games
