Losing on purpose to change playoff positioning to avoid a certain team

[SchoolboyC]

It worked because Rose got hurt

But it worked

You are literally just making shyt up though. The fact that the Cavs clearly don't feel threatened by ANYONE in the East is why they don't give a fukk about winning or losing games. Nobody is "tanking" to avoid the Wizards. The Wizards and Raptors are pretty much the same level of team anyway, the Raptors are probably a more dangerous matchup for Cleveland.

You heard that on tv, sports radio and now you're repeating that bullshyt online. Sir Lemming, how would YOU personally know how they feel? Is the answer ESPN or do you know someone on the team personally?

Wiz in 6 whenever they face...

I used to think it was some hoe shyt until somebody did it as a lower seed and pulled up the upset years back, may have been memphis or Golden State vs Dallas

Playoffs games is chess, not checkers. If you know for certain you can't fukk with a team or that it's too risky to go at them from jump, why not avoid or put that battle off til a later round. CLE doesn't care about matchups because LeBron runs the east, but do you think Bron wants to try and Run & Gun against a younger, more athletic Bullets Squad in the first or second round? ESPECIALLY since they've been playing like straight doo doo for the last two months? They'd grit out a win yeah, but it'd be a battle to keep up and not have it affect the next match up.

Washington was easily the most gassed team this season

I remember Memphis purposely losing to get San Antonio and then putting beats on them it was crazy

Idk, I don't think the Cavs wanted to see Chicago or Miami in the 1st round this year.
