[Playoff Matchup Thread] Cleveland vs. Boston

[castor777]

Seriously, if the Cavs lose a game IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! Some of you just need to chill out. Look back on any of the teams that recently won a championship. Notice something, they all lose a few games along the way. It's actually not a bad thing, since the opposing team found a weakness, our guys can correct it.

If anyone seriously thinks we'll just sweep our way to the Finals you seriously better get some help. We're going to get the same amount of crap and overreaction from ESPN that they gave to Miami, so I think we'd all prefer we don't get it from a bunch of fans on this board too.

It's the playoffs, we're bound to lose a bit. Just focus on winning the series and move on.

No, just no.

They have more wins than us in that time frame...

I think we'll win in 5 or 6 but it wouldnt surpise me if we struggle. We've been pretty much coasting the last month and we've been coasting on defense for 2 months. It'll take a while to get back to where we were in early Feb.

Celtics went 7 games with a garbage Hawks team in '08.

Just sayin.

I honestly wasn't even going to dignify that guy with a reply.

That's an incredible outlier series. Not to mention one of the strangest I've ever seen. Won by like 20-30 every home game, and must have spent every waking moment partying in Atlanta in strip bars on the road.

And even that crappy Atlanta team had a prime Joe Johnson and Al Horford. This Boston team is young, small, and without any top tier talent. I'm never overconfident. I expect us to struggle after this series at times, but not against this Boston team. Stevens maxed them out and got lucky to get them even in the playoffs. They are a bottom 5 NBA team as far as pure talent. I'm jumping on the Cavs in 4 prop the minute it's offered at any decent price. The only game I may sweat is the 3-0 close out.

Right now, the best thing the Cavs can do is beat them in 5(Celts might get one game)..and rest.

 

[Danny DiVito]

I just care that we win four games before they do

 

[Kizzle]

Cmon guys don't be scared. You know in your heart this is a sweep

LOL, get over yourself. You and only one other person think the Cavs can lose 2 games in this series, because "I watched lotz of sportz in my lifetime" is just a dumb reason. Of course the Cavs will face adversity, just not likely against the Celtics. Like I said, they outmatch the Celtics in every position. It's also not like the Celtics have a wealth of playoff experience. It would just be inexcusable for them to let this go beyond 5 games.

I wasn't even talking about you, I was talking about the guy who thinks it's a big deal if the Cavs lose a game.

How dumb do you look now?

Kendrick La'Dale Perkins has more of a chance to average 20 points a game this series than the Celts have at winning two games. Don't listen to the Debbie downers, Boston winning even a single game would be miraculous. SWEEP.

They have more wins but a lower winning percentage because they played more games, which means they also have more losses.
And we gave them 2 of those wins.
