2650771, NBA Playoff talk. Are the Cavs in trouble?
Posted by Case_One, Sun Apr-15-18 05:03 PM
These boys looked like slow trash tonight on their home court. The Pacers seem to want it more. IJS

2650804, HA! HA!,,, Open up the perimeter game and get to the line
Posted by Case_One, Sun Apr-15-18 08:12 PM
James could easily have 40-50 points and Love and Smith could have a field day. The Pacers are closing out too fast on the 3 Pt line and have no worries about staying near the post.

But I really don't Care. My Sixers will be in the Easter Conference Finals anyway!

2650791, Alot of that was due to good defense. Can def happen again
Posted by Sofian_Hadi, Sun Apr-15-18 06:05 PM
2650796, It can but I'd be shocked if CLE isn't up 2-1 after game #3..

2650813, Game 1 of 7....come on.
Posted by Innocent Criminal, Sun Apr-15-18 09:06 PM
2650858, In a way, I think so.
Posted by Dr Claw, Mon Apr-16-18 09:14 AM
the Cavs are a little bit more balanced, but still inconsistent, esp. on defense. LeBron can erase a lot, but he can't erase the fundamentals.

agendas aside, you run with that kind of team and you lose a key component, you're sunk in the end. that's why the Heatles really ended. Wade was falling off. Heat played way better defense than LeBron Cavs 2.0 but that team really needed all 3 of the core players to eat da poo poo to win in the playoffs. same with the Cavs.


in any case, the days of Cavs series sweeps are over. it's always gonna be best of 6-7, going forward.
2650864, yup - I've been saying they're in trouble for months

Nobody in NBA history could lead this team to the Finals (except perhaps LeBron). This is essentially a brand new, young, inexperienced team minus Love, JR, & Tristan (and Tristan is wholly washed and JR is almost washed).

You saw the inexperience last night. Hood & Clarkson looked like deer in headlights and were anxious all night - never settled down. Hill looked lost in the wilderness. Nance was the only new player who played with any kind of poise - and LeBron didn't do enough to make up for the team's poor play. It'll be like this all playoffs and it's why I don't see them getting out of the East. It's just too much to ask for an inexperienced team trying to gel on the fly.

2650869, they have issues but what LeBron can't cover 3 point shooting might...
Posted by LegacyNS, Mon Apr-16-18 09:48 AM
Korver 0-2
Calderon 0-3
Bron 0-4
Green 0-3

Even tho Hill, Clarkson and Hood went 2-10 if the guys up above go 4-12 instead of 0-12 it's much different ball game. If the new guys knock down 1 more shot (3-10) CLE is in position to pull off the comeback.

I just think shooting better will cover for a lot of the issues. They're not gonna turn into a defensive juggernaut overnight. However, they might be able to force the ball out of Oladipo's hands and make Indy a far less efficient offensive team.

2651006, duh? Lebron stuck with 2ns and 3rd tier never was and more importantly
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Mon Apr-16-18 10:15 PM
he doesn't have a strong side kick to cover his dome. Kevin Love is like One could sneeze from being done and he is the only tradeable part they got. bottom line if Kevin Love doesn't come with it than Bron and crew are cooked.

2651046, The Cavs should have kept Wade
Posted by Melanism, Tue Apr-17-18 08:40 AM
2651054, James did that. It's his team and his issue

2651080, Nah - Wade can't give you that performance consistently
Posted by Vex_id, Tue Apr-17-18 02:59 PM
and you knew after his hot burst that he wasn't really going to close the deal. It was a wonderful performance, but Wade just can't sustain that anymore. I'd be surprised if he had another standout game this series.

He was also a horrible fit in Cleveland.

2651117, not 2018 Wade.... I'm good with that trade
Posted by Dr Claw, Tue Apr-17-18 09:08 PM
2651121, Cavs don't have anyone to make him lose weight like Riles
Posted by Master Thespian, Tue Apr-17-18 09:17 PM
2651126, haha... .Wade was looking like Oliver Miller lite with the Cavs,,,
