meh, getting to game 7 with a 2nd year 21 year old leading the way was a win for me. It would be nice to win this game but I'm not that invested in winning/losing this just because the team is so young and has a ton of cap space to alter the roster moving forward.

If we're to believe classic NBA sayings, this series never started.

Both of these teams are ridiculously good at defense. Tends to make the offense frustrating to watch.

This defense looks bad to me personally, but maybe its cause I'm used to watching the Knicks.

They were also the 16th and 22nd in offensive rating. The defense is good but the offense isn't helping

Allen going down allowed JB to play a more traditional lineup. The games have been close ever since.

I would bench garland the rest of the POs. He’s playing with no confidence and Merrill is equally bad defensively. Sam at least can put up 30 if he gets hot

Magic are one big trade away.. defense is top notch. But Cavs just keep sinking into the paint and ORL can’t make them pay

Cleveland’s players just don’t look like they want to shoot. Mobley is never ready to shoot on the catch.

Personally I don't think your team has to be good to be able to think another team is also bad. :-?

It’s the General Board bud. Are you saying being a fan of one team means you can’t opine on other teams on the General Board?

That line for Franz. Abysmal. Gotta fix whatever has made his 3 point shot drop the way it did.

Garland just got totally bailed out on that call.
