not only is Hood shooting himself in the foot with the Cavs but future teams are going to be hesitant because apparently he wasnt wanted in Utah either for specific reasons.

Boston trying to be physical with Lebron will not work.Brown/Tatum aren't strong enough,Smart isn't big enough,and Horford getting in any foul trouble would seal Bostons fate.Indiana's frontline is big,strong,and athletic(Young,Brogdonovic,Sabonis,Turner).They along with Stevenson tried to be physical with Lebron,and even then,LBJ still dominated.I keep hearing people say Indiana nearly beat Cleveland because they were physical with Lebron.That's totally false.The Pacers took Cleveland to 7 games because:

1.Indiana was physical with the Cleveland's role players.
2.Cleveland's role players missed a ton of open shots.
3.Love played poorly.
4.George Hill missed half of the series.

The only way Boston beats Cleveland is if Love has a bad series or the role players aren't hitting their shots...Unfortunately for Boston,Love destroyed them in last years playoffs:22.6p/12.4r/2.6a/1.4s/1.2b/48%/53%/87%

Boston needs to finish off Philly before they worry about Cleveland.

Being physical is only part of it. These dudes are really smart defenders. I don't think they'll win becuz LeBron will prove to be too much but it wont be easy.

I'm picking Boston in 6 becuz of the bet I place but it will probably be Cleveland in 6 or 7.

I definitely agree with you.Boston has a shot at beating Cleveland.I just don't think Boston's defense on Lebron will play any role in the outcome.Lebron's going to get his whether you double team or play him straight up.The 3 keys for Boston beating Cleveland are:

1.Containing K.Love.
2.Limit the role players.
3.Boston's offense(Rozier,Brown,Tatum,Horford)
