Brad Stevens has Evan Turner looking good. Best coach in the game sans Pop

This group of Celtics is scrappy.

Currently, the Cavaliers don't look like a team that will help Lebron win the four rings that he needs to tie Michael Jordan.

Def not. Outside of Kyrie and Moz the other guys don't show up often enough. Maybe Lebron will be good enough to beat the Bulls and Hawks, but hard to see him beating whomever comes out the WCF.

I remember people saying that the Celtics in 2008 didn't look like a title team, when they went 7 games vs. the Hawks in the first round.

Great teams sometimes struggle in the playoffs, but usually talent wins out at the end, and the Cavs have alotta talent. I would not bet against the Cavs this playoffs. Only a west team can beat them imo.

Seriously what the hell is Shump trying to do with that hair of his? It's all uneven and he looks like paint brush.

I would be surprised if they made it to the finals. A true contender would be destroying the Celtics in this series.

We can't call this Cavs team a great team. Great teams don't struggle to be a .500 team throughout most of the first half of the regular season or finish the season with the fifth best record or have their supposedly second best player not know what his role is. At least the 2007-08 Celtics finished with the best record in the NBA, blew out a lot of their opponents, had 3 future hall of famers and a top notch coach.

It's pretty outrageous. Even my father in law was making fun of him saying he can't be very good if he has to try and pull that.

Well yea, I would take the 2008 Celtics over this Cavs team. But I just don't think if a team struggles in the first round reflects that much on how they will do the rest of the way. Star players usually wins in the playoffs, and the Cavs have more of that compared to any other team in the East. Depending on who they are matched up with in the finals, it would not surprise me at all if the Cavs win the title. They should be a top 3 candidate to win the title.

Whoever gets out of west beats them. Their interior defense is suspect and the 3 point shooters arent as good as miami's.

Depends on the matchup. GSW inexperience on the big stage can be a weakness for them. They are an awesome team, but usually veterans win titles. Lebron to me is still the best player in this playoffs, because he has that playoff experience.
