The Cavs are playing at a very high clip right now, mainly due to LeBron James. We all knew he had another gear he was going to shift towards once the playoffs started, but he has really turned it on.
We go as he goes, obviously. Usually I'd expect bigger scoring outings out of Kyrie, but it's been LeBron handling all the high scoring games and Irving has really just had it on cruise control as he's dishing it out at a career best clip over the last 2 games, and the Cavs are controlling the games pretty much from start to finish.
Now, they are playing very well.. Hard to beat them when their on like this, actually I believe nobody in the East can touch them, and only the Warriors and Spurs could give them a run for their money when their on this type of pace.
But, I don't see them sweeping the entire East. I think Thomas is doing something special in Boston, and while I don't see that team beating the Cavs, I can see them taking a game, maybe even two depending on how Lue adjust his defensive gameplan on Thomas, because he will need to trap him and double him all over the floor. That, or just place Shumpert on him and let Shump dig in and go to work. That'd be my plan.
As far as this series goes.. Its all but over. I think the Cavs win it in 5. Toronto will likely get game 3 or 4, probably game 3 because they will want to come out and play their best game in front of their home crowd with the teams backs up against a wall.
Then again, I wouldn't rule out Bron or Ky going off and breaking the hearts of every single person up North.
Should be entertaining Friday night. Here's hoping for a sweep so the rest awaits..
