Will this be the year Lebron Finals streak ends?

I just think that Boston is a better defensive team than them plus they will have gordon hayward back in time for the playoffs too. Thats why they never gave him a timetable. They know he's coming back. Aron baynes is going to have his way with Tristan thompson. TT is trash anyway. I know Cavs is hard to judge because IT is not back yet but even when he comes back he can't help there defensive problems,may even make it worse

Boston will get to the finals. They are historic defensively. The thing is they arent scared of the cavs, every other team in the east is.

Not sure a LeBron and that crap roster can handle a good system team like the Celtics at this point.

It all comes down to if a secondary scorer like IT gives them enough offensive firepower to overcome they're lack of coaching, defense and overall talent.

It seems the Cavs are vulnerable, but they are not at full strength yet. We’ll see how they are performing in the second half.

Every team in the East should be scared of LeBron. After all of this time he's still the best player on the planet when he wants to be.

With hayward, I'd give Celtics the edge. Lots can happen until then. Big problem for Celtics is that they can't score, which is going to hurt them in PS.

Can they score against the Cavs league worst defense though? If they keep up their defense but have an easier time scoring that means LeBron will have to go superhuman just to keep them in games. Hea already playing 50 minute games in november.

No.

Until LeBron is injured or has regressed significantly then it's a no.

If Boston had Hayward suiting up, probably

But with the experience of their core against the Finals-tested Cavs, I wouldn't bet on Boston usurping them this year. Maybe next season

I think it is too early to tell.

Probably won't have have any good idea till about game 5-6 of the playoffs, and most likely you'll know for sure by then.

Tbh if lebron expends all his energy the celtics wont stand a chance. But that would destroy the cavs already remote title chances

RaptorsLife · Post #13 » by **RaptorsLife** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 3:36 am

I hope so. Would love if it was the raptors. I doubt it tho but any east team beating cavs I would be happy. 4 straight finals is Ridiculous.

Need new blood

I doubt it but I'll say this...

It's so sorry that we had to wait for the Celtics who Lebron had duels with rebuild so that there was actually something to watch in the Eastern Conference playoffs. :noway:

OzCastiel · Post #15 » by **OzCastiel** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 3:41 am

No. It should be next year due to the hayward injury.

Pacers gave him a good run 3 years in a row. Not sure if people considered that "something to watch" at the time though, I wasn't following the NBA at that time.

I don't think it will happen this year. It's still very early in the season and a team like CLE can go on a run anytime...and on the flip side, Boston could hit a tough stretch and have like a 3-6 run or something. We still don't know what CLE looks like at full strength, and IT could be the difference between them winning and losing some of these closer games.

Maybe Tristan will even break up with Chloe and he'll be a productive player again?

Do you really trust a young rookie/sophmore team against LeBron/Wade/Love and veterans who are all battle tested when the games actually matter in the playoffs?

I wanna see how the Cavs look with IT first

NotReady · Post #20 » by **NotReady** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 4:09 am

Everything depends on IT.

It's super interesting because remember this time last year IT was good but nothing crazy. So is he some superstar? All Star? Very good player? Who knows.
