Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Hmm..What if beating the Raptors the last game of the season makes the Wizards the 3rd seed?

Don't get me wrong I think we can beat all these teams. However, I think the Wizards can beat the Celtics and we have a better chance at beating the Wizards in 5 (easier trip to the finals)

Probably will have to play both the Wizards and Raptors either way.

My reasoning: I don't want, nor do I think, TT should be on the floor until the playoffs start. I also don't believe the Cavs, without TT, beat Atlanta twice. I think they absolutely can win at home.

But I'll compromise. If the Cavs win at home tomorrow, and Boston loses in Charlotte on Saturday, then they should rest the remainder of the season. Would you agree to that?

Absolutely, once the 1 seed is locked up, I will be down for three games of Felder/Sanders PnR.

Tomorrow shouldnt be too bad without TT because Millsap is sitting. Sunday would be more difficult, but if it was to clinch the one seed....I could see LeBron just doing what he always does to the Hawks and taking care of things. We swept them with no love and an injured Kyrie.
 
I'd rather have the 2 seed if Washington is gonna be #4. Can't really worry about those types of things if you're the Cavs though.

On talent, I would rather play the Celtics. If the games were reffed fairly.

The Celtics shot 18 FTs in the 4th tonight. 18. This is a jump-shooting team - they shot 43 threes. The League really wants them to go far...

Didn't realize Paul was sitting.

I disagree on Sunday though. Our frontcourt was great in that sweep. Totally different without TT and playing Dwight, who actually rebounds the ball.

Well if I've learned anything on RCF the past few weeks it's that we are actually better off without TT and Larry sanders couldn't possibly be worse than him so perhaps there is hope

They're still gonna have trouble defending us especially with the extra spacing. We always seem to hit a lot of threes versus Atlanta. It will.be a harder game without TT but we are so much better and they are such a weak defensive team that I would still expect us to win if we are giving the right effort in order to lock up the 1 seed. We shall see though.

Yep. Our front court always dominated the Al Horford Hawks on the boards. We're going to miss TT the next couple of games. Hopefully LeBron keeps rebounding as well as he has recently.

If Crazy Larry plays significant minutes, I bet he gets 20 boards. Unleash him!
 
Charlotte current on a 50-26 run since halftime...Celtics down 7
 
Brad Stevens about to take over and have his team go on a run
 
The Clippers might be a problem for someone in the playoffs.
