That would be a pretty tough road to the Finals for the Cavs. Not going to happen.

Is this you agreeing to my terms about buying us Cavs ECF champions shirts if they do accomplish "the impossible" and make the Finals?

LOL no I can't be caught dead in Cavs gear. Would be kind of like wearing a Johnny Manziel jersey for me. Or an NC State Al Freeman jersey. LeBron is much better than either of these guys but his "look at me" mentality is about the same. Style over substance. I'll throw Baylor's own RG3 in that same boat. Will always be a fan of his based on what he did for Baylor but similar mindset.

Give me Ibaka, Derozan, Lowry, Valunciunas and Van Vleet. These guys are hard nosed gladiators ready to give the Western Conference champ a great series. This is their window because all of us know the future in the East is all about Philly and Boston.

You do know Lebron's mindset in the playoffs is on a whole new level right lol? Derozan, Lowry, Ibaka, and whoever on that Raptors squad don't even come close to it.

Also, this "look at me mentality" that you say Lebron has is funny lol. If he does have that mentality, at least he backs it up lol

Lebron fanboys you better be rooting hard for the Greek Freak and Milwaukee tonight. Because if not, Cavs are not sniffing the finals. If the Bucks pull the upset, at least you can hope the Sixers wear out the Raptors in the semis. Whoever is slated to play the Celtics has a big advantage of course due to the Celtics litany of injuries. Miami may beat the Celtics in round 1.

Either way, for the Cavs to have ANY chance at the finals, they better hope Milwaukee pulls the upset tonight. And the Sixers have won 15 in a row so don't get your hopes up.

Yawn, you done flip flopping yet?

You went from "i dont watch basketball much" to "blah blah Toronto will beat you"

I think the Bucks may be doing this on purpose. They want the Celtics

They'll get bounced by the Celtics.

Gotta agree. Coaching for them is worse than the Cavs

I didn't say you have to buy it and wear it yourself. I said you would buy a shirt for me and my partner in crime on this thread. You're so sure the Cavs won't make the finals, put your money where your mouth is. If they do make it, you buy us Cavs shirts.

Marco Bellineli acquisition was key for Philly

Redick as well. Veteran leaders for a young group and both knock down shooters to spread the floor. Ilyasova was a great acquisition as well. That team is well constructed. We know what embiid brings to the table, Ilyasova is a stretch 4 so he complements embiid nicely, and then they surrounded their shooting challenged point guards (Simmons, McConnell, Fultz) with great shooters like Covington, Bellineli, and Redick.

Milwaukee came to play tonight! Good effort Bucks!

70-32 Philly in 2nd qtr

I honestly think Milwaukee tanked this game. I don't think they wanted to see Cleveland in the first round.

Philly vs Toronto

Golden St vs Houston

Book it. Biggest surprise? Minnesota makes Houston sweat in 7 games.

Toronto takes care of Cleveland in 6.

Yawn again

https://nesn.com/2018/04/nba-rumors-star-believes-celtics-will-trade-for-spurs-kawhi-leonard/

If this happens, Lebron has three choices to ever go to the Finals again

1) get traded to the Rockets
2) get traded to Philly
3) come be a role player on the Celtics

Sooo now you're a Celtics fan again?

Now you're just trolling with the "role player" comment lmao.

Lebron isn't chasing the East, the East is chasing him. Remember that

Ibaka was dominant. Good call Fozz

I don't think Ibaka played the Cavs yesterday but oook

long game but wow some focus

Indiana 33
Cleveland 14

End of 1st quarter

Indiana came out on fire. Respect to them. Still not worried tho.

Lebron came out waaay too unselfish in the 1st quarter and it turned into a catch up type of of game.

I've said before and I'll say it again tho, Lue is horrible.

I expect the Cavs (mainly Lebron) to come out next game and dominate from the start.

Definitely need to change the starters. Hill-Smith-Bron-Love-Nance should be the starters.

Im sure Fozzie and probably Redneck will troll lol, but I'm not worried. 7 game series for a reason.

Love seeing Royce out there getting minutes in the playoffs

4. Lebron and the Cavs will go to a new level in the playoffs, can the Raptors, Celtics, and any other team go to a new level?.

---

In fairness he didn't really define "new level" and I would agree getting boat raced at home by the Pacers is a "new level"

In fairness, I dont think Game 1 defines "The Playoffs".

LeBron got his triple double. That's all that matters. Ben Simmons without the Ws.

Ben Simmons is nowhere near Lebron's level. Stop the bs Fozzie. This isn't Kim Mulkey we're talking about, you keep the trolling dedicated to her

We will re-evaluate after the first round of the playoffs. If Simmons leads his team to victory with no Embiid and Lebron fails to get out of the first round, we have to ask honest questions.

Ben simmons will never be on Lebrons level and if you're putting him on Lebrons level for getting out of the first round vs what Bron has achieved already, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BASKETBALL.

Just stop Fozzie. Your troll level has reached it's limit.

Will next level Cavs be playing tonight? Trying to decide whether to watch that or Jazz/Thunder.

Pls advise.

Either way you will find a way to hate and complain about the Cavs lol. Win or lose.

I suggest you watch Thunder/Jazz, you cant stand to see Lebron successful

Cavs should win this one Roughneck. Expect the Bill Self treatment for the Cavs to make sure the NBA's darling stays alive. I would expect 25 free throws for LeBron to make sure this happens even if he can only make 15 of those.

Those Celtics tho, kicking ass and taking names. Sending notice to the league when they get their two best players back and Smart. What an unstoppable dynasty they are building.

Lebron James... coddled.
