Cavs vs. Raptors - 2nd Round Uncompetitive Sweep

[caf]

I have a dream of playing all division foes to get to the Finals. Highly unlikely, but still my dream.

I vote bucks.

I want the Raptors reason being I think Jason Kidd is a better coach than Dwayne Casey

 

[Rick Astley]

Sucks just because to show everybody that there's no "The Next LeBron" or a better version of him
Raps because it's fun tormenting them a la Atlanta

Hard to pick anyone so I randomly selected Bucks just for kicks.

That would be really cool. I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of the NBA playoffs. Can anyone confirm?

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Voted Bucks. First, just because I like them better and would enjoy seeing them play in a series.

But I also think they are a less dangerous team, primarily because they lack meaningful playoff experience. Delly has some, but the rest of them are comparatively inexperienced. Toronto has a good number of key guys with significant playoff experience.

I thought I read somewhere (probably on here) that MIL allows the most corner 3s in the NBA. Can someone confirm this? If so, I think this is something you'd see the Cavs take advantage of.

I really like both of these teams and it's a shame they can't both advance while one of Chicago or Boston gets to go to the 2nd round (fuck them dry).

Overall we can't really care about which one we get because if we're worried about that then we aren't winning the title. The entire East is our bitch until proven otherwise. Hell, we're the champs, the whole NBA is our bitch until proven otherwise.

On one hand it'd be a shame for the young Bucks to be stopped in their tracks, but it seems like a major bummer that after a conference final run the Raps might get bounced in Round 1. Oh well, I'll go with Raps because they feel like it's a rivalry which makes it fun.

I don't think that Cavs-Raptors is a rivalry because it's so one-sided. If we call the Raptors a rival, we'll have to call the Hawks a rival as well even though we absolutely steal their lunch any time we play them in the playoffs.

It's a "rivalry" to an organization for whom making the ECF was a colossal achievement.

Give me the Bucks. I think the raptors trades made the matchup a little more favorable for them than last year.

Regardless of who we face, I can't wait to see someone pay Kyle Lowry. That will be the demise of the Raptors in either scenario.

I don't think Milwaukee has enough offensive weapons to play with the Cavs regardless of how bad the Cavs defense plays. I believe Toronto could take advantage, however.

I'd like to see the Cavs feel themselves after holding the Bucks struggling offense to low numbers.

The Bucks average 4.3 right corner threes and 4.2 left corner threes, both are highest in the NBA. So yes, they do.

What to make of this graphic?

First reaction: that is bad defense.

Second reaction: ....we played better defense than the 2014 NBA finals Miami Heat?

That 2014 Heat team was brutally bad in The Finals, outside of LeBron. Like atrociously bad. In all aspects of the game. It was arguably the most lopsided Finals in history despite Miami (I mean LeBron) somehow winning one game.
