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
; 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
P.S. I told all these fools that Williams and Korver would be useless when it matters most.....
; Man if Irving isnt right then that might be a major problem for them; but Im trying to figure out with all the rest he has had, why is his knee flaring up at all
) 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.
