The weird analysis about the Cavs is that they lost to Indiana, who to this point have been the best team in the playoffs, even better than OKC after 1 game (gave them their first home loss in ages?)

So were the Cavs disappointing or were Indiana as a team just super human and over performing on that next level, and had a greater tactical advantage etc.

Cause in the first round they damn near had like a 20-30 point differential in every game or even 55 points in one game.

So do they need to get better or do they just need to learn how to deal with Indiana? That's really the analysis that has to be done

Hmm Giannis would be very interesting. An Allen, Garland centered package could make that possible maybe?

Minnesota should be on the phone
Being a Greek multi millionaire and your 20 year US experience being in Milwaukee and Cleveland, at least ignorance can be bliss he doesn't know what he's missing:to:


But yea it would be very interesting

Naturally, I need to find stats on the importance of game 1
if the knicks split the first 4 games and then get to a game 7 at home I honestly think they win that series.
the winner of game 1 also wins 78% of the time (theres a bias though becauase thats usually the higher seed/better team)

Same reason the Griz need to trade Ja/Bane. Cavs team makeup is the best case scenario for Memphis and they got killed the same way you did. Time to move on
Bane is 6'5" the undersized backcourt doesn't apply to Memphis...

I’m sorry ik u mean no harm

But I really hate some of these new nba terms

“Playoff riser/dropper”

“Ethical hoops”

“Free throw merchant”



I couldn’t even imagine hearing sum this shyt on a court :gucci:

I mean shyt you can use whatever description you comfortable with, but the nikka don’t show up in big games :pachaha:

Couple things have to happen for the Cavs at this point...

(1) the midget back court tandem has to end. So either Mitchell becomes the full time scoring point and they move Hunter as a starter alongside Strus, or they gotta get an oversized point guard/playmaker. But Garland is naturally the odd man out.

(2) Mobley turns 24 next week and if they truly believe in him being something more than a superstar role player, then he gotta get/take the keys. Right now he's great at playing defense, great at rebounding other people's misses, great at scoring with no plays ran for him; great at showing potential then disappearing because they run no plays for him.

If he's not that guy (i.e. can't run the offense thru him or feature him as the primary beneficiary) and his ceiling is just a suped up #3 option, then fine... but if they believe he's more than that, we shoudl really be seeing that next year.
