I feel the bucks are very similar to cavs offense wise. It's like playing little brother than big brother

If we allow Bucks to go 7 games, we're screwed.

Need to be done in 6.

If we give them a week off, LBJ is gonna take advantage and go visit his doctor friends in Miami.
Fire everyone who doesn't win the NBA championship.

Tank for 2050. Robot players.

Spacing, passing with a dominant forward. With a ton of good 3pt shooters. Kevin love will be a force on offense rebounds like Monore

Every year people get fooled by Lebron led teams lolly gagging in the regular season and claim they are vulnerable
for the playoffs...

Lebron easily sweeps Pacers lol

I actually feel good we were able to win 2 games on him last year

Well if we advance the Cavs defense is not nearly as scary as the Bucks. The Bucks are long at every position. The Cavs offense though...

Oh boy. Cavs gonna be fresh again. Really hope we can pull it out and avoid a game 7. That Cavs offense is scary. Just watched the highlights of last years game 4 and realized we had freakin Scola in there. -_-;

This Pacers team is trash and blew leads. Nate is also not a great coach. Dude's like Casey in the sense that he is an old school coach and is unable to adapt to the new era of the NBA. Pacers got a ton of open looks today and just couldn't capitalize. The Cavs defence is most certainly not what it was last year.

the cavs are so much better offensively than the bucks... theyre similar in "style" but they have one of the g.o.a.t facilitating the offense and their supporting cast consists of 2 all-stars and a bunch of great 3 point shooters... if we even make it to the 2nd round, i expect all of our losses to be blowouts.

That's why I said little brother. Lebron still the big brother of the east and king of kings. Our offense has to improve greatly to make it a competitive if we do advance

if the offense hasnt improved in 4 years under this same system, i dont see how its gonna get any better next round. sad part is, if we do lose in second round, everyones just gonna say, "oh well it was the cavs, we were gonna lose either way" and pretend like the **** offense still isnt a big deal and still keep defending the current core, coach and system.

Raptors offense is horrible, lol. You can't beat Cleveland with defense, and a garbage offense. You have to have an elite offense. I still say that Washington can beat Cleveland. They have the offense to do it.

If we get swept and it's not competitive then it's gonna worse than first round exit. This team is more talented than last year team that won 2 games in ecf. A sweep would be embarssment

It took us 7 games. The next round will be interesting... the Cavs are great man. They can put up buckets. If they score 110+ they win, period.
