The Official Playoffs Thread

And this is what I don't like about the Cavs - they're in that "stand around and watch LeBron" mode. They have no player movement, no cutting, no passing. This is when they become a very boring team to watch. As great as LeBron is, that's boring as hell in my opinion.

The Magic, on the other hand, have great ball movement. They're attacking the hoop, sharing the ball, working inside-out. That's fun basketball.

I agree Europa. As good as Lebron is, the Cavs are the most boring team to watch in the NBA. It's because other than LeBron, they have no one worth watching. Plus, they do mostly stand around and watch LeBron.

I had doubts about the Magic after the first round series, but they have really impressed me. Really fun to watch and they play the right way.

SVG deserves some major props as well. He's coached a flawless series.

No Joe Smith at all or JJ Hickson. Why not get Hickson 2 or 3 minutes. I just don't understand that.

After Cleveland goes down, the talks of James to New York or Brooklyn are going to get worse.

I don't know what's more pathetic. The play of the Cavs so far or the three page game thread on the Cavs board.

Honestly, if the Bucks were in the Eastern Conference Finals, how big would our game threads be at halftime? Around 70 pages I'd guess.

No doubt. Cavs fans have given up already. Don't blame them either. They'll be so depressed and start talking about James leaving.

I love the image of Van Gundy telling his players "there's no cushion" as they're all kickin back in their recliners. :lol:

Yea that's pretty bad,I went to their board a few days ago and was shocked.

Best record in the league,Lebron James,in the ECF and your game threads are no more than 4 pages at the most?

Hell our game threads are like 15 pages by halftime of a pre-season game.

:lol:

There are about 12 other Cav's fans over at Real Cavsfans.net

But that board is so screwed up in that you can't just read the posts unless you are a member.

Even when the Bucks were at their worst a couple of years ago and we all knew they were going to lose our game threads at worst were four pages. Much longer if a group of crazed fans went to the game with paper bags on their heads. :wink:

Hell, we probably had more people in the chat room for Yi's Summer League games two years ago then the Cavs have in their forum.

I think Kobe should have gotten the MVP. But this is how it usually goes. Dirk's MVP was bogus too and so was at least one of Nash's.

I loved Dwight saying how bad he wants it at half. This guy is taking the leap big time.

I remember that Friday night. That video feed was awful. But we all hung in for the whole thing.

I'm greatly hoping we don't trade Potsie for a variety of reasons. But one is the fact we'll all get to watch him in six-weeks in summer league. I want to see what he's worked on the last three-months.

That chat room was awesome. I miss that. We would have six or seven posters in there at once just to talk about anything.

The Magic are forgetting what got them the lead - establishing Howard inside. Now the Cavs are right back in it.

Oh oh...here comes LeBron...not going down without a fight. Let's see if Stern can operate Javie's remote control whistle.

Not very smart of them. Going for daggers too early.

Back to Howard and good things happen. Sometimes, this game isn't that difficult.

The remote needs new batteries, his pizza is here and he has to go take a piss. What is the main priority?!?!
