Eastern Conference gotta do better

[Shutdown10]

Like they wouldn't have swept out west too smh.

You a casual if you think that! The offenses are ran much better out West. Cavs would be challenged alot more on the defensive side. They would still make it to the WCF, but that is where they would have been eliminated. Adam Silver needs to put an ultimatum on all GM's in the East. Either improve your teams in the East or be cut out the revenue sharing.

Catched a couple Boston and Detroit games, because I feel they're up and coming teams and like their style (especially Boston).

Watched Game 1 Cavs-Atl and haven't watched the EC since

Its like teams go in with a demeanor of being defeated already before the series even began. It baffling looking at the non competitive teams the Cavs are lined up against in the East. I just want to see these teams compete and play with heart out there even if they still lose to the Cavs, but that is not the case. We got to hope that salary cap raise will help some of these teams out and improve the East a little better.

I didn't see them "roll over" tonight. All this bullshyt about "making a team fight" is just silliness. They started the game with a 7 point lead and even after being down 22 at halftime they went on a 7-0 run to start the 2nd half. That's not the look of a team that "rolled over"

They just got beat & had a less than optimal strategy. They took away the 3 ball & gave them everything else which is why the Cavs had like 82 points in the paint & shot an absurd percentage. (Bron had his best playoff percentage of his career)
Sometimes a team is just a lot more talented. "Fight" doesn't change that.

Fight does change that! The better more talented team will most likely win a series the majority of the time, but if an opponent play with an edge, they can make things interesting by stealing a game or two with their grit. The Raptors are going to have to out hustle them if they want a game or two in this series.

The west lets golden state roll all over them all season, and that means GS is historically good.

Cavs sweep teams with better records than the teams giving GS problems in the playoffs and the east is historically bad.

How does logic work with you dudes

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The Pacers with an over-the-hill Reggie Miller, aging veterans and Jalen Rose gave the Shaq/Kobe Lakers a good run. But those same Pacers wouldn't wash this Raptors team? fukk is wrong with u nikkas

And you're basing this on what exactly?

 

[thatrapsfan]

this severely hurts LeBron's legacy, even though its not his fault.

Kobe going to 3 straight finals in the West > LeBron 6 straight in the crappy East

Negged for making up a new angle.

 

[thatrapsfan]

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

@ dudes claiming a team that started Dale Davis was quality.

Magic legacy in the 80s west and Jordan legacy in the 90s east unscathed of course

 

[dh86]

the whole idea that the East got much improved just isnt true

Detriot and Indy arent very good, and Toronto is a terrible 2 seed

doesnt help Chicago and Washinton took bad step backs (Milwaukee kind of too, but I think they ll be better next year)

Its just one very good team and the rest

Pistons beat Houston Portland Dallas and Memphis in 7 game series. As does Boston and Atlanta

You 90s hating cats are just shyt basketball posters. Anybody who can't admit that those Reggie Miller Pacers teams would wash this garbage ass Raptors team just doesn't know basketball it has too much of an agenda to keep it real. This Raptors team is the definition of mediocre and wouldn't be a factor of they played in the 90s. Cats tryna give them an excuse because Valanciunas got injured like they didn't go life and death with Paul George and role players wth Valanciunas It took a bad/missed call to bail them out of that game 7. at this trash as Raptors team competing in Mike's east. You cats can't be serious.

 

[NYC Rebel]

eh come on now. Ewing is much better than anyone on the Raptors and the squad fit together well and played as hard as you could ask for. Bulls were going to win but they were going to have to fight for it. The Raptors just rolled over tonight.

What does that have to do with the KNICKS as a TEAM? They weren't THAT GOOD

No they wouldn't. They weren't that good. They lost to the Lakers. You are doing nothing but giving them "they play the Lakers hard" props. The Davis boys are trash. Jalen Rose is the only player on the Pacers could create his own shot.

Just luck of the draw with matchups. A healthy Miami team vs Cleveland was the only intriguing possibility.

As a fan though you look back to some of the series the Heat had from 2011-2014, if nothing else you were in for a good series or two. Be it vs. the Bulls, Pacers, or Celtics. Last 2 years have been

True...although those Pacers series should have never gone on that long.

All those dudes ever had was "grit."
