This is breaking nicely for the Cavs. They own the Raptors and Celtics -
I think Bron runs outta gas the next round. Hard to see anybody doing what He’s done for another 3 weeks to get to the Finals. I still think the Sixers get their shit together and take out the C’s despite tonight.RaceBannon said:

I long ago thought LeBron would slow down. At this point nothing would surprise me. He openly admitted he was extremely exhausted and hadn't even thought about Toronto yet. I'll predict the Cavs get annihilated by like 40 in game 1 but split the road openers and ultimately win in 6/7.

People always freak the fuck out over game 1. I agree that Brad Stevens is a god and the Celtics are the team of the future. I will wait to see how game 2 plays out before declaring Philly dead. Celtics could seriously win the East though and that would be fucking crazy. They have done so well at building that franchise back up after the big 3 era.

For the NBA? Jesus Christ no...fucking ball hogs, AAU fags with little fundamentals, and lazy fucks who camp out at the 3 point line. I wouldn't waste the time and effort. Unrelated: Whenever I tune in a game it's the Celtics 90% of the time..it's weird.jhfstyle24 said:Where's @Fire_Marshall_Bill for the pickem?
If the Sonics still existed and were good, I might give it a passing thought. -

I'd go Irvin, Heyward, Horford, Tatum, Brown, Rozier but it's highly debatable for sure.allpurpleallgold said:The Celtics are about to win a second round playoff game without there first, second and fourth best players.

At this poont with Pop on the down side of his career Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA. -
if the GSW are able to do what they should do this Season, which is win an NBA Championship, it's Steve Kerr. Getting a bunch of try hards out of the 1st round in a "loaded East" isn't enough for me.dnc said:

I like Kerr a lot and I'd put him at #3, and in the first tier. If I'm buying a team and I can steal either one I'm taking Stevens over him though.salemcoog said:

Steve Kerr doesn’t even have the highest winning percentage as Golden States coach since he became their coach.salemcoog said:

This is Year 8 of Lebron holding the East hostage. We've seen great coaches and players come and go. We've seen Next Years Champions more than once. Tibbs was big in Chicago and Rose was MVP. Indiana with George made it to the ECF twice and have lost in 5 of the 8 years to LeBron
When Lebron went to Boston when they still had the Big Three and took them out there were not going to be any challengers until Lebron leaves or retires
You Jordan fan boys have no idea how much the game will miss Lebron.
Stevens lost two Final Fours and does more with less and oh boy they run cool plays and Boston is going to be great some day
Fuck that. Win something then pop off
Beat Lebron. If you're that great a coach you have the better team. Do something with it other than lose the ECF like you lost to Duke you fucking fuck

George Karl?

I could have gone Mike Reilly
Karl won 60 games more than once with more than one franchise. No rings -

That’s insanely high.Gladstone said:
-
Lebron lost two Finals just like Stevens lost two Final Fours. It’s almost like you have to lose before you win.
-
Stevens was one shot away from the natty with Butler. Hes been a great coach at every stop, hes not George Karl.RaceBannon said:I could have gone Mike Reilly

watching the cavs play d gives me anxiety

The Raptors are makin my Cougs blush.

But if it's close the best record in the East great coached Raptors choke
I remember when Lebron wasn't clutch.
James owns the East -

Shocked they looked that good in game 1. Toronto also went ice cold. LeBron is in their heads. Wildly entertaining game.
