I'm already expecting this. Sucks to be Kevin Love tbh. Kyrie smelled this from afar and bolted once he gets the opportunity.

He could, but that would require the coach to stop giving JR Smith minutes which I don't think he's capable of.

We now have a 9 game sample of what Cleveland's offense looks like against Indiana/Boston. Pretty embarrassing for Toronto.

Damn incredible. Amazing how disclipined these young Celts are. Never rushing, always looking for the better shot.

Marcus Smart...I love that guy.

Hopefully not. It would just be us getting crushed by the Rockets or Warriors lol

He'll go to a team that has a high chance of making the Finals...Hou or Phila

Lol Lebron can drop 50 against the Celtics and still will lose. Celtics are better top to bottom as a team. It’s only fitting for the Celtics to dethrone Lebron not the Craptors, not the pacers, not the bulls, the Celtics were the last team to drive Lebron out of town and will do it again. Cavs are outclassed

Brad Stevens best coaching move was to use his black magic to convince the Cavs to play Tristan Thompson in the starting lineup and for 30 minutes.

That dude is trash.

Please lord more Tristan Thompson. PLEASE

Truly an awful hodge podge of over the "hill" players. Probably a 15 win team without Lebron.

Boston just needs one in the next 2 games then it is over in 5.

Always felt like what the Cavs did to the Raps was fool's gold. Toronto looked like paper mache.

Lebron burnt way too much energy on 1st quarter, leaving himself looking flat and tired for the rest of 3/4. Cavs team is way more talented than this, they are just not well coached (thanks to Lebron's hand picked coach in Lue). They didn't address their defensive problem from last season, which is very apparent in playoff and final.

Only a true great can really put a roster like what the Cavs have now in position to compete for a chip.. I don't even think a prime Shaq could do that, and I personally think prime Shaq is the most unstoppable force to ever grace the NBA hardwood.

I really disagree with this. (although he wasn't already top 3 with you? after 2016?) but this season has not been a good look for him. he's not playing against stacked super teams where it's so unfair, his team is shelling out millions for this team, he's had a hand in players like Kyrie leaving, and then turning the IT trade into peanuts.

he's playing a team which is not built with any superstars, it's using team ball and working hard, LeBron has often looked a lot this play-offs not that he just doesn't need his teammates help, but that he doesn't want their help. that's beginning to show in the way this team is expressing itself.

truth

Hot take: Rozier has flashes of being better than Kyrie

Irving for 6MOY next year?

Can't discredit this group as a bunch of "youngsters" anymore. They're a grown, cohesive group.

I called Boston in 5 and that prediction is looking to be true.

Raps broke the Cavs. Raps played with such little resistance, now the Cavs can't get comfortable playing a much tougher team.

Why? They frankly look better without him.

Kyrie vs Lebron, Kyrie's chance to step out of the shadow.

Celtics look good with and without Kyrie. The Celtics team and coach are that good.

I had y'all winning before g1 was over. CLE is toast! I also said BOS would sweep (4-0). Evidence is in the g1 gt.
