Didn't Miami fans want Boston too?

I feel like the possible injury % is lower against Cavs, esp w Jarrett Allen out

Anyways I prefer the Cavs to the Magic. Seemed like some weird mojo in these Magic games lately.

I’m fine with avoiding a Wagner/Eddie House comments revenge series as well.

Cavs are a one-man show. We might lose 1 game if DM goes nuclear. That’s it. Celtics in 4 or 5.

Celtics in 5 or 6. I'm not worried about DM, but Dean Wade often has "one of those games" against us. I also believe that some of the officials in 2024 are in someone's pocket. I do not trust the officiating at all. It's not only bad, but potentially dishonest.

Minus that one game where he scored 23, Dean Wade's averaged 3.46 ppg against Boston.

Today was weird with officiating.

In the first half they called anything and everything on the Cavs, especially when Banchero had the ball.

Then in the 2nd half it went the opposite way…

It’s like they want these big comebacks by teams for the excitement level

Cavs will be a significant step up in difficulty from Miami. Games should be a little tighter and not those runaway poundings that Miami gifted. Should be okay to keep KP out for this thing though.

My guess is C's in 6.

I’ve never been wrong before. Not once. It’s going 7 games. Nothing to back it up. Then ECF will be the cakewalk.

What’s the money line on Lebron showing up for Cavs home games?

C’s in 6 is my guess. Need to contain their guards and they rebound well as a team. Not going to be a cakewalk like so many have posted. This series will be a good test and no chance PP or Hauser can stay with these guards. Going to take heavy minutes for our starters to advance to the ECF

I like Evan Mobley’s potential but he’s softer than our guys.
