They look like the 3rd best team overall, their D is more consistent than ours but they are not so good in road games.
Can you imagine if the Celtics get Leonard? Dear god that might ending up being a team that keeps teams under 90 almost every game.
Best thing for LeBron to do is to get eliminated because he's not ready to face the Warriors with this team. I'd hate to see him make it to the finals and lose again.
I kinda feel they will be worse with Hayward and Kyrie. Both of those players are sub par defensively and this current group has he length and athleticism to defend everything. They should trade Kyrie and Hayward for Kawhi or Lebron. That would be a dynasty.
Lebron hasn't been down 0-2 Eastern Conference Playoffs since.... '08 vs Boston. Celtics are undefeated (37-0, IIRC) up 2-0 in seven games series in franchise history.
Thanks. Without looking at historic stats, Boston got the better overall team and are hungry as well. You can never count out Lebron, so 70-30.
Well he has been down 0-2 to a better team than this celtics team, but its not looking good for him. He needs to cut down on his turnovers.
I'm not counting out LeBron, but he had a great individual performance in Game 2 and the Cavs still got their asses kicked. I do think they'll play better at home and the Celtics are 1-4 on the road this postseason(with the lone win being an OT victory in a game the Sixers gave away), but it's not looking good for Cleveland right now.
They can win or lose, but I do not think LeBron can have a better performance in game 3 than game 2. The game 2 numbers were already too good for him.
In other words, "After further talk, we came to the conclusion that suspending JR Smith would actually help Cleveland."
The Cavs fans should enjoy every minute of Lebron at home for the next two games because those will likely be the last two home games Lebron ever play in Cleveland.
