[Playoff Matchup Thread] Cleveland vs. Boston

[davoor]

I can't even imagine the panic mode on here if the Cavs lose a game, let alone if they lose 2 or even 3. Though fairly I expect the Cavs to win the series 4-2. I'd rather be happy if we lose less games than 2, than be disappointed if we lose one.

6 games...

4 against Boston (sweep).

2 games of spin the bottle (JR Smith and whoever)

It is arrogant. no hype no nothing.. learn humility. I will now quote the great Charlie Sheen who once said:
"Uncertainty is a sign of humility, and humility is just the ability or the willingness to learn".

If we keep stating we are so superior.. nothing to learn... just saying...

I'm not talking about myself. I am analyzing the team. There is no humility or pride to be personally gained for me. I'm not going to state something I don't believe and pretend like I think the Celtics have a shot. That is just fake.

Plus, Charlie Sheen?

anyone else watching the Series Thread over at realgm? im laughing my ass off about some posts there.

Brought to you, uninterrupted...

I'm gonna say .. Cavs in 7!

Celtics in 6 games. Celtics going to expose that the Cleveland Cavs are frauds and are going to send Lebron home crying again.

I also think it is realistic that Thomas can have one of those games where he scores 35+ and the Celtics steal it.

I think the best case is to get to Game 6 in Boston with the chance to force a Game 7. And we all know that anything can happen in a Game 7.

Cleveland has no answer for Thomas. Nobody to stay in front of him and their rim protection is mediocre.

Anything less than a series victory over the Cavs is a failure. We're the Boston Celtics, not some franchise that is satisfied with moral victories and just making the playoffs.

I say cave in 7 as king james gets 20 fouls shots in game 7.

Lets do this

Things I learned:

1. When LeBron is in the zone no team will stop him.
2. Danny green was not even dressed for that game.
3. Chris Bosh changed his twitter location to "everywhere".
4. Lawrence Taylor was charged with 3rd degree rape of a 19 year old.

5 long years later, here we are again. Cavs v Celtics as it should be. I have a feeling LeBron will be up for this one. Just a hunch.

Cavs 4-0, in convincing fashion...

And I just got tickets to Game 1! Ahhhhhh PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!!

 

[CLEistheCITY]

The Q will be rocking for playoff games. Probably a similar atmosphere as game 1 this year.

Win or lose, I mean a title, it's good to be back. Been a long time waiting, just great to have this for our city again.

Happy and thrilled for everyone in Northeast Ohio that has suffered through the awfulness of Cleveland sports the last 4 years.

Let assholes on the outside hate all they want, they'll be the same assholes jumping on the bandwagon too. Bandwagon fans, you can jump on, but you're not one of us.

If I'm LeBron/Blatt this is the series to get Kevin Love going.

Sweep the Celtics with Love putting up 23/11 gets his confidence up for the rest of the playoffs.

No, this is a series you win in 4. Getting Love going might not allow that. Making sure he feels involved sure but no making him the first option. We had that chance during the regular season. Blame LeBron, Blatt and Love himself for that. This going 5 will be a disappointment honestly. Win everything!

I have noticed that LeBron led teams have allowed the other team to steal one. That was always frustrating but I hope there's no letup this time around

I learned apparently we’re allowed to wear throwback/alternate unis in playoff games? That’s cool.
