Getting to the finals is going to be one big grind. This team can do it and it will be ugly because we have to fight Lue and his shitty coaching and the shitty reffing on top of it.

Yes, but we have to adjust the expectations. This is not a championship winning team, getting to the finals alone would be a hell of an achievement from where they are right now. Can't see it, but it will be a wild ride if they do go that far.

Two more games of this. And only the first round. Not sure I can take this.

do you think this is a one-round matchup problem, or is it going to be a struggle all through the playoffs?

Based on the lack of adjustments, we might be in for a looooooooong/short playoffs.
 
I think if we get past the Pacers that other teams are going to adapt the Pacers style against the Cavs. Play a physical game and try and run them off the court. It was hard to watch the Cavs continue to get beat on the fast break and the other team taking it to the hole. No inside D until the last few minutes.
 
I'm done giving Love any fucking post touches. This dude cannot be a second option in these games until he gets his shit together. Honestly, for me Korver and JR are my number 2 and 3 right now, love is 4th -- he is just playing piss poor. Love's job is defend as hard and as physical as he can, shoot if open, crash the boards, and get your ass BACK on defense. You might get 1-2 post touches if a small is on you, but thats it. This dude has been huge parts of the lost leads in the 3rd quarters, just can't trust him right now, not completely his fault, just is what it is.

If the Pacers are giving the Cavs fits with their physicality and length then a match up with Philly could be unpleasant viewing.

Need to move the ball much better rather than being dragged into these grinding games with an undersized front court.

I agree, but maybe they can grow as a team. I just don't see it happening because Lue won't play the right people together.

Love is not, and should never be, a center.
