Celtics won a game against you guys were up 16 in game 4 with Lebron in foul trouble until Kyrie saved you guys and ended up dropping 41 to prevent a 2-2 series. IT was injured, that Celtics team wasn’t that talented, the Cavs were much better last year. The Cavs were simply more talented. This raptors team won 59 games Cavs went to 7 against the pacers. This is the biggest joke I’ve seen.
As you say, the Celtics werent that talented. This Raptors team is much better than that Celtics team.

The Cavs held a double digit lead in all 5 games, and won the 4 games by 13, 13, 33 and 34. The game 4 youre talking about, the Cavs outscored the Celtics by 23 in tge 2nd half.

And tge 33 and 34 point wins came in Boston. So even if this Cavs team is worse, the Raptors being more talented than last years Celtics tells me that the Cavs are getting better here in the playoffs.

I know Celtics and Raptors fans hate each other, but based on this series it wouldnt surprise me if the Cavs beat the Celtics worse than they beat the Raps in this series. Going to 7 against the Pacers doesnt mean much....the Cavs had quarters in last years playoff against the Celtics in which they beat them worse than the 4 combined games against the Pacers, despite the fact that we swept them last year.

Um no, you won against the soft raptors team. Next series will be different I’ll be sure to bring this quote up. The Cavs had Kyrie last year the same guy who won you game 4 pretty much when Lebron was in foul trouble. Isaiah Thomas was injured for the Celtics last season yet they still at least took a game from the Cavs unlike these raptors both this year and last. Cavs aren’t as good as last season so it’s irrelevant.

Agreed. I think the Celtics have a great shot at beating the Cavs and keeping Lebron from reaching his 8th straight NBA Finals. This is the same Cavs team that got taken to 7 by Indiana. The reason they beat Toronto is because Toronto's defense completely failed them and Korver and crew lit them up the entire series. Boston has the #1 ranked defense and the best 3 point defense in the NBA. If they can completely shut down or limit Korver and the rest of Lebron's supporting cast then they can beat Cleveland. It doesn't matter what Lebron does in this series. How Korver, JR, Love, Hill and the rest play against Boston will determine the winner of the series.

Geez, normally they just do the whole "going fishing" thing. This is more like a funeral. Lighten it up fellas, it's not this serious.

a Lebron team that barely got past freaking Indiana. This isn't that good of a team lets be honest, you are being swept by a team that honestly is reasonably mediocre.

Lets see how they do in the next round or 2 before you call the mediocre because in the first round Indiana played against lebron. Toronto played against the Cav's. Its like the rest of their team woke up against us and don't claim defense because they were top 5 in the league.

Stop w the excuses...your coach is clueless and made Love, JR and Korver look like 1st team all NBA players....he takes away from their only big mismatch in JV and starts FVV and CJ Miles in b2b games...good move Casey smh

Excuses? All i said was wait to see what they do in the next round or two... man chill the **** out a little.. Why are people here so quick to say something is an excuse... its annoying

It's like that Pacers series woke up another beast. If he makes it to the finals and beats the Warriors. I'll have a hard time saying he's not the GOAT

Wow he may beat a team by himself? Yes whoever does that deserves to be the GOAT

When a #1 seed is defeated by LeBron, they suddenly become the worst #1 seed in history

If the cavs (and mostly Lebron) continue to playing like that, they may win a game against Gs

Hope he could, but there's no way this Cavs team is beating that GOAT team

Charles Barkley on TNT just put Lebron as 7th best player all time. I think Lebron is clearly top 3 best of all time. Certain people seem to have a hard time ranking Lebron at or near the top when Lebron is still playing. This has happened in the past with all time greats while they are still playing and not retired yet. Things will change when Lebron retires and the World will miss him.

cavs will have a harder time with the celtics due to the switchability of their personnel on defense. the question is will the celtics have enough offense to upend the cavs?

Of course its selling well. It would legitimately be badass and clever, IMO, if it wasn't blatantly stolen from a TV show and about a team that was just swept as a one seed.
Agreed, more or less. I haven't seen "the north remembers" pushed so much aside from a couple commentators but maybe I missed that. At least we the north isn't a direct quote..?

We the North is still cringe, but not as bad as the North Remembers, no. I still wish the Rapz could have came up with a campaign that wasn't just jacked straight from a TV show though. I get that its catchy and everything but its so unoriginal.

It's ridiculous to have Lebron so low. To me the only guys with cases over Lebron are MJ, Kareem, and Wilt, that said I have Lebron as the GOAT already, but these 4 are all pretty damn close IMO.

Naw, it isn't that. They lost in 4 games. Like really, 4 games and you're the #1 seed? That is just a humongous underachivement. Might as well had forfeit before the series even started.

Post #2758 » by **Dadouv47** » Tue May 8, 2018 3:34 am

They should give a playoffs MVP award instead of Finals MVP so Lebron could get what he deserves

Lebron is the most hated basketball player of this millennium....and it's all purely basketball related hate too...he's an unselfish/efficient/high bbiq player which RealGM usually GUSHES over...but half of the board hates him like he ran over their dog :lol:

One point game in Toronto + game winner in game 3. It was a bit more competitive than it looks like.

Who wins the series?
