    I know beggars can't be choosy but I don't want this guy and certainly not for max money.

    A sweep for the Cavs, Detroit did a good job in all four games keeping it close. But in the 4th they just can't execute, Drummond also had a bad series. Can't play late cause of FTs and struggled defensively when they go small with Love at 5.

    IT and surprisingly Smart carrying Boston to tie the series. Hawks so bad.

    Im really liking this Hornet's team. Im rooting for them hard. Lin has found a nice niche with the Hornets.

    I'm not. THey have no shot at beating the Cavs. HEAT have a legit shot at doing just that. I don't want Hornets going forward...especially if the Pacers upset the Raptors. Cavs road would be too easy to the finals. I already don't like that the Cavs are going to draw the C Bags or hawks in the second round....thats a cake series for them.

    Lin did the "MJ shrug" after banking a 3 with MJ in the house.

    Courtney Lee is terrible. Why is he in the game.

    Edit: Of course the next play after I say that, he hits a 3.

    So disappointed in the Heat, wow. The NBA should just advance the Cavs to the Finals, pass Go, collect $200.

    Yup, no competition out there. The second best team out west has been the Hawks or Raptors the past couple years and they do nothing once there.
    Can we give them the Spurs, thanks.

    ...I read some stuff about how the East was achieving parity this season. Guess nothing's change.

    Yep. I was banking on the HEAT giving the Cavs a series in the ECF....now they'll need to win on the road in Charlotte which is going to be buzzing again....ugh. Cavs once again with an easy road to the finals if this happens.

    The only thing stopping the Cavs is a Lebron James injury... and that NEVER happens. I'm really fearing a Cavs championship now so it's time for me to totally disconnect from the non-Lakers NBA.

    Watching the East playoffs has been so-so for me, I enjoy the competitiveness from the few teams who've made it so, but the thought of the Cavs having such a easy route to the Finals again is pretty depressing. Would've been sweet to see the Heat knock off the Cavs ever since the LeBron departure. But that doesn't seem likely. None of these other teams in the East seem to have the weapons to defend a player like LeBron or even Kevin Love.

    No one thinks Charlotte has a shot against the Cavs?

    No one??

    Sure they have a shot, I also said the same thing about Pistons. Both have the personnel to match up but they'll collapse in the 4th. Keep it a close game for 3 quarters and inexperience will keep them from executing down the stretch.
