Eastern Conference gotta do better

[NYC Rebel]

Can cats even remember how much the Pacers offense used to struggle when Reggie couldn't scream his way to open shots and rolls had a subpar game? Those teams were horrible.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Honestly I wanted to see how they matched up against miami.
Miami would of lost but I believe at least gave them a run for there money

 

[ThaBronxBully]

No...it proves nothing. fukk outta here watching struggle play of the Davis brothers, can't create a shot for himself Reggie Miller and the 90s Knicks. Those teams were trash

Those Teams Were Trash Now? lol

They Weren't Dynasty Calibur But They Were 1-2 Championship Calibur (Not 2 Consecutively) Had The Bulls Not Had Been The Iconic Force That They Were. The Cavs Are NOT An Iconic Force And These Teams Can't Even Squeeze 1 fukking Game Out Of Them, It's Pathetic. Jordan Himself Will Tell You Those Series Were No Joke.

In The End Those Teams Lost But These Teams Now Aren't Even Competition

The NBA is about superstars. Your team record is one thing but when crunch time comes then its about the superstars making plays and making shots. The cavs have two guys that can play big down the stretch and the teams they have played so far have had none.

I stopped reading your miserable posts after shut posters. Your personal slants are trash.

You're the one with the personal slant which is why I didn't even bother quoting you. You're irrational when it comes to Mike and the 90s bruh. There's no way that the eastern conference of today competes with the east of the 90s. This Raptors team would get washed by those Pacers. You trash the Davis boys like we just didn't see okc use Adams(a white Davis boy type) and Kanter to beat GS up on the inside. Stop it man, the shyt you're saying doesn't even make sense.

Miami lost a game 7 by 27 points to this team that just lost by 30. They wouldn't have been any better

Trash was extreme.....I admit...but you're forgetting those "the Pacers haven't scored in over 6 minutes" stretches those teams had. You're naming "what Jordan said" as if that means those teams play was anything worth while to discuss years later.

Dog..those Pacers struggled to put up points, and had one player who could create his own shot in Jalen Rose. Man please....

Didn't disrespect Mike.

I'm just not caught in some fog like you dudes. I saw those nasty stretches when neither the Pacers or Knicks couldn't score playing struggle ball and we had to depend on John Starks to create for us as viewers offense.
When they so badly tried to find offense elsewhere they resorted to dumping the ball into A. Davis.

Those teams were ordinary as fukk.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Cavs are out there completely gelled, focused and healthy. The fact that we all think GS is gonna run through them is the real problem right now

 

[beenz]

Not an excuse, there needs to be more than one phantom matchup that will cause fits and provide entertainment. spurs or okc was gonna be a problem for the dubs, Portland was a great second round opponent, the clips if healthy would've been good games....the east had nothing for the cavs, only the hope of a storyline in wade and Bron facing off

Heat would have challenged the cavs, but not their fault they lost Whiteside and bosh for the second consecutive postseason.

 

[beenz]

Lol
Warriors win big and they're amazing.
Cavs win big and the east is trash.

Even if the east isn't as tough as the west, can the Cavs get some fukkin credit for doing what they're supposed to?

Cavs have a $90M payroll. They supposed to be the best team.

 

[James Dean]

Cavs are just a good ass team when focused. I hope they take it all.

Those teams were mirror images of each other playing prison ball for the most part. The point we're discussing here is how they would match up against today's teams. NBA basketball is all about match ups. This Raptors team just wouldn't match up well against those 90s teams. The Raptors are actually built in the mode of a 90s. They're built on defense and feature 2 volume ISO perimeter players. Have you seen their playoff games and how hard it's been for them to score? This is an offensive friendly era nonetheless. As bad as those 90s teams looked against each other at times they still featured hall of fame players. Lowry and Derozan aren't even close to hall of fame. Mark Jackson was a better player and certainly a better point guard than Lowry is. Reggie is better than Derozan. The Knicks had Pat a true 20-10 franchise center and quality role players. thats a lot more than Toronto or any other team in the east besides Cleveland and a fully healthy Miami has.
