Honestly man I don't think they get past the Wiz and here's how

No rim protection, Kyrie hobbled and you have a healthy Wall going at him every trip.. Beal gonna roast whomever at the 2 guard

Morris gonna bully the shit out of Love.. cavs bench beyond suspect D Will is useless, Korver useless..

Kinda reminding me how in a series of event in last years finals when GS had no rim protection, curry nicked up, Draymond out..

But listening to mofos talkin bout Love locked up Steph LMaoo love the one of the worse defensive players in the league

1st GS

Nobody locks up steph but avery Bradley
And he doesn't lock him up he slows him down a bit
Delladova had 1 game steph scored 19 and that was it. Steph went off every other game
When steph isn't going to the rim he's hurt period.
He never went to the rim when he returned last season
He couldn't move past Adams Thompson or love
This year when they are on him he roasts the shit out of them like he did before when he was healthy those are just facts.


Now

Wall is the difference I believe in wall
He's won a playoff series before he is every bit a do or die leader.
Beal gotta show up and they gotta put pressure on at a high level
It's always possible anyone and everyone can lose

Wizards and raptors have the best shot to beat them
Celtics would get swept

Celtics are the biggest pretenders!!! I dont think they beat Cavs, Wizs, or Toronto; hell they better hope they dont play Heat or Pacers in 1st round; But Cavs defense is something to behold:smh:; A lot of excuses is coming out of the Cavs camp right now; (notice your typical haters on this board havent said shit about it though) I still dont believe they are going to loose to anyone in the East; but I do feel like they gonna be in some tough games; Pacers or the Heat could make it tough for them in the 1st round; and Wizs definitely in the 2nd round; and they probably will play Toronto in the 3rd round; Lowry has to be healthy though; That Curry shit, coming from the board, well Im not going to even talk about it; Just know a regular in this thread, one time said Irving plays good defense on Curry:hmm:

P.S. I told all these fools that Williams and Korver would be useless when it matters most.....

Cavs have lebron so there's always a chance
Just how i feel the warriors if they have a healthy curry always have a chance.

Celtics are ass they're a few pieces away. Stevens is a good coach but he don't have the horses and Thomas is not going to be able to carry them by himself

Yes, that was horrible too. I thought they won the game when i saw the photo with Book holding the 70 sign and all them niggas cheesin like they won a championship.
Click to expand...

When I saw the highlights I was disappointed like damn.
same time I'm not TOO mad at most of it because shit he might not ever get close to it ever again
Also the suns are some losers so this was their win. Watson gonna get fired cause their GM ain't shit.

I'm still trying to figure out how Snyder got a job in the nba after the shit he did in Missouri and Kelvin Sampson is.....

LBJ puts makes them capable of beating any team outside of GS; no one is beating GS if they are healthy; and I dont think the East is ready yet; but it will be more interesting then what I first thought; Cavs defense or lack there will keep other teams in the game; They didnt play good defense last year, this year its gotten worse; I get the sense that some of those players arent trying to build their legacy like LBJ is; so all got paid and most have at least 1 ring; they play like they good with their life; LBJ plays like he wants more rings though; but hes not gonna improve that teams defense and thats the issue.....

Niggas was tryna cheat and keep em injury free. Basketball Gods maintaining balance.

I seen this today...

Wilt averaged 50 and led the league in rebounds and minutes played (48.5 :eek2:) but still didnt win MVP cuz Russells team won the chip and his defensive presence was the difference. Back then scoring a bunch of points wasnt looked at the same as today. In fact averaging a ton of points was frowned on and considered "stat padding" and not a winning concept. David Stern changed that when he took over in '84.

Man we talk about a few pages back... Should I think you even commented on

I know Bills did

Yea I understand that but They could've beat the hawks to allow Lue to start resting players

Did TT play
Click to expand...

I don't even know. Watching Cav games there's a point some nights where they just be like OK
and then the other team pulls away. I don't know why that is but that's what happened last night.
It was a close game hawks didn't go away then the cavs were like OK
and then the hawks put it on them

Nah he didnt play, but TT aint helping their defense like that; and yes they should have blown out the Hawks; again I think some of the players is/are satisfied with where they are at; to be honest, I feel like the only one who would be mad, upset, hurt, frustrated etc is LBJ if they were to not win chip; I think the others players would be like well we won last year so.....

effort and energy is low; along with not having players that really play defense well; there best players, outside of LBJ, are not good defensively...

30 12 11 in 44 minutes only missed 1 game

right now people are trying to shit on Oscar talking about "more possessions" and "usage stats"
stfu
When he played the floor wasn't spaced out like it is now so idgaf how many more possessions he wasn't able to just rim run on either end of the court.

Interesting...maybe because most teams scored a lot of points so they gave weight to defense more; but there is no way in hell Wilt shouldnt have won it...

Yep; watching the Cavs makes me think most of those players are satisfied with where they are at; like hey we got our ring type of attitude; couple that with they are worse defensively and have worst defensive players and welp here you go; but LBJ wants multiple multiple rings though;

well my thing is, those dudes can't play defense period though so even with effort it's like from squat to squat and a half
however they have lebron so anything is possible as far as wins.
also the past 2 years everybody was scared to go at them really. and the teams not scared to go at them were out of the playoffs.
and mainly im just talking about a team with either john wall or paul george on it

these IT and Kyle Lowry getting help from the opposing coach during a playoff series ass niggas didn't want to win they were happy to be there.

Because instead of watching understanding and knowing the game, you watch ESPN and highlights....

I watch highlights and box scores for every other player. Why would Kyrie be an exception?

Basketball is boring until late in the playoffs.

I just want to be entertained, and most of these niggas ain't entertaining to me.

True and true; I dont think there defense will improve that much with effort and energy; but I do think they can play better; a lot of fans people etc dont realize they wasnt that good defensively last year; they are absolutely worst this year; and the east has gotten better somewhat:hmm:but I still think Cavs come out...
