Who cares what some fukking idiots on television said. They are paid to make ridiculous predictions and spice up the first few rounds by painting pictures that don't exist.

The only "prediction" that matters is the fukking Vegas line. Cavs have been the favorites in the East since LeBron came back and it's not close... and this year guess what? They are still the favorites.

So we have posters in here denying that anyone ever claimed the Cavs would lose to an EC opponent until they didnt and then all we heard was "The East is wack anyway." Really did y'all not post on here for the last 3 years?

Cause that is the narrative every year. To varying degrees when it comes to opinions from the "experts", but certainly the annual refrain from casuals / Lebron haters is
"Cavs won't get past _________" "Yeah well the East is weak anyway"

Don't believe me? Let's check in with a couple of Bron haters on predictions for this postseason:

If the Celtics can hold on until Kyrie gets back they come out of the East. Raps if they don't get him back in time.

"Cavs wont get past ________"

Well let’s make it clear now so bron cockblowers can understand after the fact

The east is wack

"East is weak anyway"

what? How does saying the Cavs will lose this year = they were the underdogs the last three years. Those are completely unrelated. Go pull up where I picked the Cavs to lose any of the last 3 years before this one. And while you're at it back up your claim that the majority of people were picking against them the last 3 seasons.

Based on our Tatum/Jackson arguments you seem to have a real issue with backing up your claims with tangible evidence.

 

[GOAT]

The "experts" in 2015 were 9 for the Cavs, 5 for the Hawks, and that's before anyone knew that Kyrie would be out the whole series.

How does that translate to "Nobody had the Hawks beating the Cavs in 2015"?

so only 14 people made predictions on the Cavs/Hawks series. Stop it. Bron fans are reaching like crazy. The overwhelming majority of people picked the Cavs.

 

[SadimirPutin]

People in here are really pretending they havent chosen non Lebron teams every time for basically the last 6 years.....

The coli has the most revisionist motherfukkers I have ever seen......

Dog, the threads are on here with the polls overwhelmingly favoring the Cavs. You can't rewrite documented history

I quoting the link from your guy.

Now you complaining because the cites that your own damn side brought in aren't good enough. You f'd up cause you thought I did it.

You mean the poll that allowed multiple votes and kept running all the way until the Cavs closed them out?

It's easy to rewrite documented history when you allowed to keep voting after the fact.

 

[dem bath salts]

There was a point last season when the cavs were fukking horrible that nikkas talked shyt .But once the playoffs hit, nobody thought they weren't coming out the east, especially when boston struggled to beat Washington

The majority of the comments early in the threads have the Cavs winning too. Stop. Y'all trying to lie to make it seem like the Cavs were underdogs is just sad at this point. You aren't fooling anyone.

Everytime I see Nick Wright, all I see is the nikka making robot noises in Grandma’s Boy.

You went from "Nobody had the Hawks beating the Cavs in 2015" to "The majority have the Cavs winning" really damn fast.

That's what receipts will do to a man.

Here's "nobody" talking. And again, this is all before we knew Kyrie would be out too.

And I'm a roll with Hawks in 7 but should be a good series.

I had the Hawks going to the finals. Hopefully they don't let me down. I don't need or want to see bron near another ring. Hawks vs warriors.

Hawks in 7.

I think Hawks gonna surprise some people. I have to see how the first game goes but Cavs are going to have to guard everyone on the floor. Can't cheat off the bigs like they did against the Bulls.

Gonna be some high scoring games and might come down to coaching adjustments.

Only two outcomes
Hawks in 6 or cavs in 5

Hawks havr homecourt but lebron is oebron

Great match up for us. Hawks in 6.

You don't win 60+ games in the regular season and just be content with making the conference finals.

You've got 4 all-stars and the Coach of the year.

The Hawks are the favorites. They have the mismatches. They have home court. They should be good enough to win it all.

And that shouldn't surprise anyone.

WOAT title but Hawks in 7. Our advantage in the front court (Mozgov & Tristan won't be able to stay with Horford & Millsap), overall depth & coaching advantage + HCA makes this go 7

Hawks won 3 of 4 vs. CLE in the regular season for what it's worth

Not sure how a Cavs fan can't see how they're the heavy favorite in this series. Y'all playing dumb already?

The Hawks are going to carve them the fukk up.

i think the one thing the hawks have going for them is they get to play as underdogs. they have struggled in the role of favorites but are much more dangerous without the pressure.
i think the cavs will win if kyrie can play though. plus the cav role players confidence is really high right now and the hawk defense isnt on the level of the bulls.

they are favorites because of what they did to the bulls without love and kyrie, but they probably shouldnt be. the hawks are a 60 win team and the cavs are still banged up.

Lol you far from reality. This season is a success. Hawks in 6 is the Cherry on top

Hawks in 7

I felt good about beating the Cavs when they had Love now without him I feel even better. Cavs defense isn't nothing to brag about we're going to put up a lot of points on them.

I don't know what's more wack: the thread title or Hawk fans acting like they're just happy to be here and not the favorites.

If you know basketball... at least think you know ball, ATL over the Cavs is the most logical conclusion to the series.

Here's why...

*Cavs will parade Kyrie for 35 MPG with his terrible defense. Unlike against the Bulls, there is nowhere for Kyrie to hide against ATL. Kyrie can't check Teague or Carroll and can't run with Korver all over the court, shifting through screens.

*Atlanta can score at every position which will put more 2-way pressure on the Cavs role players. An underrated aspect of the game is basketbal IQ. If an average player knows he playing against another average player, they start thinking they have the platform to start playing outside the box. Cavs did this against the Bulls but won't do against the Hawks. Outside LeBron, I think the Hawks feel they can dominate or at least match the Cavs production from roster spots 2-9.

*Hawks actually have offensive threats in the frontcourt. Threats that both have perimeter ability to the 3 point line. Can't pack the paint like they did against Chicago.

*Coaching. Hawks > Cavs. Blatt is simply riding the LeBron wave right now. Got him feeling confident like he's the actual reason the Cavs are where they are today. Happens to every coach till they realize the opposite is in fact true.


These four reasons will be why the Hawks beat, and likely dominate, Cleveland... unless LeBron goes all world, at which point, the series becomes a toss up.

Thank me later.

this might be the smartest thing OP has ever said

I think Hawks win too tbh.


Don't agree with all of your reasons, but they're not completely awful. Lebron would have to go into god mode if the Cavs want to win this...or Korver can just miss EVERY shot again.

Yes the Hawks should win on paper HOWEVA

I got the hawks winning too

Hawks in 7

Op droppin facts. Idk his history, but this here is golden. Listen up coli

Hawks will win... I will give reasons why later before the series starts.

you're a terrible poster...with that said...I agree. This series is where the cavs will really miss love. Hawks got scoreres and playmakers everywhere....shyt

Even if he was healthy the Cavs woulda been missing Love. Millsap woulda been home schooling Love the whole time like the overprotective father he is

So far.

This my pick in 6.

Right, because I literally meant nobody in the world picked the Hawks. Use your fukking head. I said the overwhelming majority in my first post in the thread. And like every one since.

So you pulled up every single post that had the Hawks winning. Congrats. The Cavs still dominated the poll and the overwhelming majority picked them to win. But keep rewriting history though. Bron fans seem to specialize in that.

Edit: And some of those comments don't even have the Hawks winning. They're just neutral. You're reaching hard now.

Posting the opinion of two different people as proof of hypocrisy or doublespeak makes no sense ... the point you’re trying to make would require one of us to say his post, then change up and make mine after the fact

Obvious why you ain’t grow up to be a lawyer, basic logic escapes you
