They need JV to lose by single digits.

Basically, no team is getting out of the East if you don't have Lebron.

Cavs can shoot 3s like Golden State and get to the basket like the Thunder. Pick your poison. Defending the 3 against a team that can get to the basket is suicide...people like to point out the percentages to show why 3s are better than 2s, but if you focus on the 3, Kyrie and LeBron will kill you by shooting 75% in the paint....youd have to shoot over 50% behind the arc to beat that.

Toronto needs to focus on defending the paint and give up 3s instead of dunks

They are now doing what the Warriors were able to do early in the year sitting Curry every 4th quarter.


LeBron sat at least 15 4th quarters.

Refs are flat out screwing the Cavs

Nah, just to make it look more competitive for ratings. These calls have been ridiculous

I don't think that was the hard dunk. Looks like it was the one where he drove in and was surprised he was open so he said welp, might as well dunk it, and kind of sneak-dunked it at the last second.


Wasnt that hard of a dunk? Look at the ball man. He threw it down so hard the ball compressed when it hit the rim..


Thats insane

LOL. All you fans of teams currently not playing are real cute with your comments.

Yeah, we want Cleveland. We like being in the ECFs. We also like having 4 first rounders in the next 2 years on top of a bunch of good young talent and players in their prime or approaching it.

We are fine. Worry about whatever loser team you cheer for.

Need to get Tristan and Delly out of there. No need to risk injuries - Mo and Mozgov can finish it off.

Not surprised, but disappointed by the effort. Hopefully they don't try to blame it on fatigue

Of course. I'd much rather have our young players get this ECF experience against a contender than spend the next week at home like Miami's roster.
