And yet, somehow it wasn't. The Detroit series last year was a sweep that was close each game. Fact is, the Cavs just didn't close games out well, but they did close them out.



The Pacers-Cavs tied for the closest sweep in NBA history with a margin of 16 points total. Detroit lost by 17 in game 2 last year.

Wow the trolls are bad. It's not even Pacers fans - they've been great. I guess I don't understand the motive. Should I crash the Rox/Thunder GT and scream about how the Rox will get destroyed by the Warriors on every bad/non-scoring play they make? Should I do it with the Wizards? Spurs?

It's beyond pathetic at this point.

Magic fans should be worried about their own non-playoff stinker of a team.

Pointing out specific plays he was making to keep the Cavs in it is "based on a stat sheet"? :crazy:

My argument is based on facts. Your "argument" is saying "LeBron quit" and demeaning the basketball knowledge of anyone who disagrees with you while providing no evidence.

If Jeff Teague is on your team and your going against the Cavs, your team is bound to get swept

Cavs and Warriors are the only teams that haven't lost a game this postseason... two team league. It's almost like La Liga.

Looking at the Post Game interviews. McMillan said that the team and especially PG run out of gas playing 40 and 43 minutes in the last two games. That seems like a very poor excuse, LeBron played 46 every game and was killin' it.

Amazing how a team goes for respectable to awful over the course of 2 games in some peoples minds.



The best teams besides Cleveland are in the other side of the bracket in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Washington. Better than Milwaukee, Indiana, or Toronto. Cleveland has a easy road to the ECF. But if they meet Washington, lookout.

Your "argument" is faulty and you're a fan boy. There's nothing to discuss.

Miami Heat would have been a worthy opponent for the Cavs. This Pacers team never developed a chemistry during regular season which is why they choked in crunch time.

So, how many series has a team got swept but had a chance to win three or all four games?

That was as competitive of a four-game-sweep series as you're ever going to see.

Agreed. I actually think its kinda worrisome for the Cavs that LeBron had to play at such a high level to win these games. It wasn't like the team as a whole crushed the Pacers.

Their first round series vs Detroit was basically the same thing.

I'd gladly play the winner of the Boston/Chicago series before playing anyone else in the Eastern Conference.
