Why does JR have a blue Jersey in the player photos?

LeBron on his way to carrying a team full of scrubs to the finals.

Im having flashbacks of 2007.

The guy is amazing.

Agreed. Kyrie is just a poor man's Mo Williams and Love is a more hairy version of Big Z.

The brooms, bring them out.

Only one image to describe the Pacers

This series might be a sweep, but it has been the most entertaining one... This years 1st round has been boring...

Ya I don't know how he manages to win with these all star scrubs.

Past the sarcasm, I don't think Love and Kyrie have been that great. Certainly not as good as Pippen or Rodman, which proves LBJ past Jordan all time, and that's that.

You've spent about half of your 260 posts saying a combination of "LBJ has lost it", "the Cavs suck" and "the Cavs are not getting out of the East", so good to see you coming around.

Just relax, man. No need to get worried - its the playoffs. 0-3 is nothing. We're fine. Cruise control, man. We're good.

What are you talking about? Cleveland's roster is filled with currrent and former all-stars, current and former champions and three point shooters. Their only issue is speed and effort.

Right... even though the Cavs payroll is in excess of $100 million. Even if they are scrubs, LeBron won't be able to use that excuse if they lose in the finals.

Cavs by 35, if they get a lead early the Pacers will quit. Totally soul crushing loss. You could tell by that look on LeBron's face at the end of the third quarter (reminds me of that evil laugh Brady had at the end of the third quarter in the Super Bowl) with the Cavs still behind by 7 that that game was over and so was this series.

Won't be a need for any excuse if they lose to the Warriors

>two top five players in their respective positions
>roster full of good three point shooters
>rotation almost ten players deep

I hope you're being sarcastic.

I think you're both wrong really. It's a good cast but not that good. Easily his worst team since first cavs stint.

*Bad bench
*Bad coach
*Do we bat 10 deep? Who knows lue won't let us find out
*Terrible defensivley across the board
*Kyrie, debatable if he's not 5 pg most say no but if we get last year playoff Kyrie id agree. He's not that in the reg season and he's injury prone and currently injury affected. Also borderline worst defender in the NBA
* love? I dunno I don't rate him at all. Little impact when it matters but top 5 may be fair. I could find 5 pfs id eaaily rather but maybe that's just me.

That seems crazy to me. The bench was pure garbage his first year back. Half those guys aren't even in the league anymore. We lost Delly & Mozgov from last year but picked up D. Will & Korver.

Same coach but he's running out of time to figure out what works with rotations.

Defense is sketchy but a lot of that seems to be an effort thing to me. I think we'll get caught slipping in one of these playoff games but I expect us to respond afterwards.

Kyrie is Kyrie. He's capable of having incredible offensive games against even good defenses. I don't know how you beat the Warriors with that The thing for me is with Kyrie is how Lue handles him. I've been encouraged that Lue isn't having him run the second unit as much this post season.

You and I really disagree about Love. No need to rehash.
