Yeah I'm kidding. The Cavs will likely win the series, I just hope they're close games. I thought Detroit would put up a better fight.
Hornets Pick And Roll Offense: #6 in PPP for ball handlers. #3 in PPP for roll man. Cavaliers Pick And Roll Defense: #15 in defending the ball handler. (Miami is #10) #29 in defending the rolling man. (Miami is #4) Maybe the Hornets can take a few games by doing some NBA2K spamming / running pnr non-stop.
Boston is done. For all the talk about them doing a great job rebuilding they're going out in the first round twice in a row. Yes they have some picks, but there is no guarantee those picks will turn into anything because really they haven't done a good job drafting. Brad Stevens is a great coach, but he needs more to work with.
Like I've been saying all year: Boston is simply the flip side of our coin. Their roster is hot garbage (except for Thomas), but Stevens is great. Our roster has a terrific future, but we had no coach. Both Boston and ourselves have a huge summer ahead of us. We can pull ahead of them in the "rebuild race" with a pick, a good coach, and a couple of FAs which are all things the FO is counting on. Boston is also counting on making a splash in FA (Howard could find his way there) and a draft pick. Big, big summer coming up.

Watching Indy destroy the Raptors right now. Wow, DD is totally underwhelming. Horrific shooting and not much else. Not sure if I want. I thought he had turned a corner in his game, but I am not impressed at all. Honestly, I think Clarkson is a better player. He can actually shoot. I know we need talent but I'm feeling underachiever from him right now.
Derozan better show some heart in Game 7 or I am officially over him. Hot garbage tonight. Really starting to NOT want him here. 3 for 13? Yikes.
Derozan 3/13 for 8 points Lowry 4/14 for 10 points, 10 assists though. Raptors scored 39 in the second half, gave up 61. Watching DD, do not want him at all. He's had one good game all series.
Agreed, alam1108. Color me NOT impressed at all right now. He needs to show us something in Game 7 or I'm pretty much over him. Even though Lowry also shot poorly he at least dished. DD brought nothing tonight.
Wow, as killer as Walker has been tonight he made a glaring mistake there. He left Wade to switch back and Lee couldn't get out to Wade's three. Big error. Wade with a vintage ender here though to force Game 7.
Game 7 about to start. Really hope Miami pulls through. They're the only team left that could challenge Cleveland. At least make them sweat a little and if they get to the East Finals they could possibly get Bosh back.
Miami has been dominant today. Dominant on the boards. Whiteside is really locking down the paint and shutting down driving lanes for Kemba. Dragic has been sensational. Taken advantage of Al Jefferson's porous defense. I really, really hope we get Whiteside.
