- Korver broke his ankle or severely sprained it (can't remember the specifics) and Demarre had a leg injury that basically ended his season but he was stubborn and came back to play. He never looked the same. Cavs don't sweep them if that team is healthy.
Virtually the entire roster came back the next year (substitute Bazemore for Carroll), they underachieved by 12 games and got swept by the Cavs AGAIN in the second round.
How is Bud getting kudos on this board for essentially pulling a Casey?
The Cavs have swept everyone except this years Pacers and our ECF run. Its kind of amazing that team actually made the ECF to begin with. The reason its a big deal for us getting swept is because until about 2 weeks ago, the mood around here was we have a legitimate shot of beating the Cavs, then got swept.
And that changed fast, so the Raps basically have foot in mouth right now. We may need Buds 5 man system more than anything. Who knows if we'll ever beat Lebron, but we can atleast out last him.
yay
