Guys a big advantage that I see in your side, last year Cavs have had a mastermind elite coach
in Blatt, they have been very shortened in the Playoffs and those who was watching the Chicago series, LBJ was awful, Butler guarded him great and in spite of LBJ playing like a shell of himself, Kyrie playing with injury and Love being out, they somehow won this series with Delly, a d-league player as their second best player. If Blatt was the coach in this series I would say 100% sweep for the Cavs. But since they have now that stupid moron Lue, who LBJ wanted over Blatt because he doesn't really want to be coached, I'm seriously think your chances are much more higher with SVG at your coaching side.

You can do it!!

Think about how wide open the east would be if Toronto and the Cavs went down in the first round.

You could see any of the other east teams in the finals be the sacrificial lamb/

Think how many Finals would have reached LeBron in the West... One or maybe two, with one or even any ring.
I still think the Heat or Hawks are reaching the Finals this years. The ring is going to the West anyway.

Think of how much money the NBA would lose if Cleveland lost in the first round. The league would never ever let it happen. How much is Cleveland getting to the finals worth?

The league already made a shizton with GSW breaking the record and Kobe's farewell tour.

I think they're good for now if LeBron goes down for a bit.

Everyone wants to see a rematch of Golden State vs Cavs including the NBA

That would be the NBA's dream bc either way it is a storybook ending

Golden State culminates their 73 win record setting season with a championship going back 2 back and establishing an exciting young dynasty for new fans to follow

LeBron validates his return by overcoming all the odds and beating literally the greatest (by win total) regular season team in NBA history to bring Cleveland its first championship ever

Any other combination of teams besides maybe Thunder/Cavs would be a boring match up esp another Lebron v Spurs.

If I'm Silver I want to see the following match ups

East Conference Finals - Miami vs Cleveland (Wade vs Lebron - Lebron left, can he beat his old team to return to the Finals yet again?)

West Conference Finals - OKC vs GS - Many people think Spurs v Golden State would be a better match up but OKC is more exciting to watch even if they are far less talented and the Spurs are playing great ball. Durant/Westbrook trying to reach the Finals again for one last shot before they leave OKC

Finals - GS/Cleveland or at worst OKC/Cleveland

Keys to what SVG said during the pressed:

-anything short of winning the series is a disappointment
-stanimal is more tuned in that he ever has been
- rotation can range from 7-11

We aren't winning a game in this series now tbh. Defense is even worse than I thought and our rebounding has gotten worse as a team

Since you've gone out on that limb can you give us the Lotto numbers as well?

Find it hard to believe the D is worse than you thought! You think we suck a metric **** ton of monkey spunk on both ends!

You're still my Blue though
