So the Cavs laid down and gave away HCA when they controlled their own destiny? :dahell:

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

When was the last time the east had three 50 win teams?

This year

Honestly it's mostly a fukk you to Boston. They either don't expect them in the ECF or just ain't worried about beating them whatsoever

They did willingly accept a Raptors round 2 matchup tho, I'm praying the Raps give them the business

 

[Miggs]

The cavs weren't choosing any type of path, they just lost some games they were supposed to win and now they have to live with the consequences.

@Malta just flaming raptor fans in here IE me nothing more,he dont even believe what hes saying...

They fell into it,Raps were already 3rd,if they wanted that matchup they could have easily rested both games against ATL.

they didnt fall into it, they willingly chose to punt the final two games and give Boston the #1 seed

Cavs had full control over the 1 seed entering last nights game and chose to rest

So part of the plan was to dominate for 3 quarters and then coast in the 4th after finding out the standings hadnt changed ? Newsflash for you B the Cavs have stunk for a month and a half.That 4th quarter was just a more extreme example of there recent incompetence.

If youre NOT trying to win you dont play ur starters the entire game and have them drop 40 a piece...You have them on the bench.


You nikkas are bummy

They fell into after they lost back to back games to Atlanta,im sure had they won on sunday they would have went with a full lineup last night...

Playoff format is fine as it is. Just because Cavs are bytchmade doesn't mean the whole system is broken. They are in for a 2007-like asskicking anyway. That team is playing nowhere near championship level and unlike last year there are no bogus suspensions, Harrison Barnes or Festus Ezeli to help them out

Cats keep bringing this up, like in the end it matters. Bogut yearly injuries was bound to happen, as that dude is like Samuel L in Unbreakable. Draymond put himself in that position, goaded by Bron or not by being at the Tech maximum. Iggy was a bit of bad luck, but I think he's had issues with his back before. Even with all that they still had 3 games to close it out

 

[Brief Keef]

I agree East is there until someone knocks em off but to say nikkas are afraid of them is just corny.Raps easily could have rested the Knicks game and waited to see what the Celts/Cavs did this week...they didnt care they was trying to get into 3rd...

Nikkas running with this Cavs scared of the Wiz at 4 but allegedly everyone else is scared to run into them

Lowry said it already,were gonna have to face them to come out the East so it makes no difference 2nd round or CF.

this what i was tellin some clown ass heat fan on twitter he said he dont wanna play them round 1 i said nikka we gon have to play them regardless why delay the inevitable if we got in id want these bytch nikkas round 1 toss they ass out real quick so they'd be humiliated

 

[Brief Keef]

If Bron don't make the finals he's leaving the Cavs and going to the Clips to team up wit CP, Melo and Wade..

Wade not on that clown shyt he woulda went to Cle if that was the case

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Wade not on that clown shyt he woulda went to Cle if that was the case

Dan Gilbert ain't trying to spend no more money breh...

That new owner in LA will to get Bron,Melo and Wade lol

 

[duckbutta]

S

do you honestly believe the cavs are afraid of the damn BULLS ? lol

yall trippin hard AF right now about this situation.

We talking about the TNT bulls

EVERYBODY should be afraid of the TNT bulls

If they get in and they series is on TNT then I don't care who they play...Bulls in 6

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

Barkley said he was ducking the Wiz and Kenny was like

they asked Shaq has he ever ducked and he was like " we used to duck the Jazz early on cause they'd pick and roll us to death"

so its not inconceivable

shyt IS about matchups

why go through 2 squads thats given you trouble when you can run through the Raptors or some shyt?

all that being said...Cavs in 5 like shyt

...nobody in this conference fukking with them

Early on being the key words. I just can't believe Prime Shaq (the best player in the game at that time) was ducking any players.
And if he was he really doesn't have any foot to stand on when arguing about this players today forming super teams.

well...he said Utah had swept them a couple times (one of the series was 4-1)...so the avoidance had to be 99, 2000...aka his mvp, championship, 30 and 13 season...

like he said, its Chess...if a team got your number and you can figure out how to avoid or at the very least put off having to deal with them...why not?
