I actually thought this year was going to be different, but so long as DeRozan and Lowry look like scared puppies out there, things will never change. Fake #1 seed. Lol

This is me, lurking a certain Canadian message board.

so after looking at Simmons and James i assume we will have the unique opportunity to be smashed to pieces by the cavs in the finals again?

This is me, drinking in the tears from posters of that same message board.

Now I know what it feels like to be a Raps fan.

Why would you ever. The only teams that can beat Cleveland are Boston & Philly.

Bostons now can't cause we dont have our 2 best players.
Philly could, but we're gonna beat them, so it won't matter.

So i'll take my 150 for $330 on Cle Gsw part 3.

& my 100 for $220 on Cle coming out the east.

& Prob end the year close to even after a ***** betting year.

Can't wait to smack that team to shreds with a healthy Gordo and Kyrie next season.

This is my biggest takeaway too. I want LBJ to go far enough where they can keep him in Cle. I don't want him running to form some new super team. Stay in Cleveland man.

Next year we'll start beating them & start our reign.

They're still gonna have Love, JR, Tristina, Hill, Clarkson all w/ big $ next year.

They better hope Trae Young is the next Curry.

Prob beat Tor in 4. Maybe 6 worst case. They'll beat us in prob 5 or 6. Hopefully steal a game in the finals. & LBJ will stay. That's best bet for us going forward.

I don’t think he stays, honestly. He and Gilbert have never seen eye to eye, he brought Cleveland a championship and I’m sure him watching Tatum, Brown and Rozier lead a team to within two games of the ECF doesn’t make him feel great about their return for Kyrie.

Especially if LeBron loses in the finals again.. can’t see him staying.

Going to say this. The Cavs suck. The team is terrible.

Boston, to be honest, isn’t great either without its top two stars. They play Shane freaking Larkin and Aaron Baynes.

What does that say about the saviors of the east in Philly and Toronto?

Ya know what. They suck too.

Aron Baynes would be getting heavy minutes even if Hayward and Irving were healthy.

Why do some people here have an issue with Baynes? Overall, he's been great.

O. Henry would have him go to the Raptors.

Rondo is the only player in the league who has actually stepped up to Draymond. I love it.

go bruins!

exculpatory · Post #435 » by **exculpatory** » Sat May 5, 2018 1:54 am

No let up.
Keep beasting AD.
Keep **** down Curry’s throat, Rondo.
**** you, Draymond.

robdog_5 · Post #436 » by **robdog_5** » Sat May 5, 2018 2:12 am

Playoff Rondo. AD giving it to Green and Rondo letting him know about it.

I love that Rondo keeps going at Green. He's not intimidated

exculpatory · Post #437 » by **exculpatory** » Sat May 5, 2018 2:14 am

GS Scumbags getting **** squashed.
AD phenomenal.
Dru awesome.

Rondo with 21 **** assists & 10 rebounds!

Totally in control of game.

I miss Rondo.

Rondo's team knocking the Dubs out is far too perfect to happen in this world. I will be rooting, but not getting my hopes up.

4/10/21 looks like a reversed statline.

Most Rondo statline ever.

So great he got to play with AD - those two were made for each other.
