Cavs vs. Celtics - 2018 Eastern Conference Finals

[ACisKING]

If Nance is not hurt I wonder if Lue would go with Nance he’s a better matchup against Boston, Honestly the last two games I was not impressed with Tristan, It almost seems like when he gets Comfortable with playing time he reverts back to his version of this year Tristan

I agree. But there were reports after the game that Nance was limping noticeably. So unfortunately Nance still isn’t healthy.

Embiid overrated?

Yes. Overrated. Philly should trade him while his stock is highest.

Proof: If Al Horford owns you, you're not a good big man. PERIOD.

It's his 2nd year playing. I mean I think I might trade him too for picks and allstar big or whatever. It isn't because of his talent, it would be because of his health and long term durability.

Al Horford is criminally underrated on this board because we have 2 guys who make him pound rocks. I dunno why, but they are both a bad matchup for him and get in his head. He is not as good offensively as Love, but defensively is much better.

I wake up for work at 4:30 every morning so, no, you're not alone.

I see people yawning in the crowd and I just don't sense the same level of excitement late in the game.

Am I the only guy who thinks Stevens will send out scrubs to:

• Bait JR into taking a swing
• Undercut Lebron
• Elbow Hill in the spine
• Dislocate Love's shoulder

 

[Otsego Mar]

Am I the only one who thinks Philly poses a bigger threat than Boston? Maybe even if Kyrie was healthy?

Horford has shown us his shooting is a nightmare for Embiid. Love at the 5 would be Even more devastating for him. This is also why we can never in a million years trade Love. Also his post ups are inefficient because he's such a high turnover player.

Not entirely sure why people are so confident against Boston. They can roll out some really good defensive lineups -- big, strong, switchable, physical. Think about Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, and Baynes. All with Stevens coaching who is both smart and very willing to play dirty. In terms of the capacity to both make Lebron work and throw our non-LBJ people off their game Boston feels more like Indy to me than Toronto.

1. Marcus Smart sucks at basketball.

2. Al Horford is old and soft.

3. Brown is just a guy. Think Crowder.

4. Tatum is a rook.

5. Who?

I'm pretty confident the new defense will shut these guys down on d

 

[Jake]

We won't sweep boston, that's for certain.

No I am not joking. Maybe they will get a game but I think Indy is better than this Boston team and we will have a very well rested Lebron.
