2019 Cavs

[Cavatt]

There is a very good chance that Toronto may better or equal to Boston. Its still going to be very difficult for them to make the finals, because just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief for LeBron leaving, Toronto gets kawhi.

People are sleeping on Toronto. I know what people think because the Cavs came to life to spank those guys last year, but they replaced a very good player with one of the best. If the coaching knows what they are doing and Leonard is motivated, they may go to the finals.

Raptors were a very good regular seasson team and DeRozan despite still being a slightly negative player in the RS(Raptors were worse with him on the floor) was a part of it.

Nonetheless, DeRozan was legitimitely a terrible playoffs performer that had controlled a huge chunk of their possessions, took way too many shots and was a bad defender. So no, they replaced a very bad player with the second best playoffs performer in the league.

The difference should be huge. They even have Danny Green as well.

yeah I was trying to be diplomatic. Really Lowry looked great in the playoffs. If he can replicate that and some of the young guys take a step, with Green and Leonard added that is a scary team that is one of the most versatile in the league.

I hope you're right about Toronto. Of the East teams, if not us, I'd prefer Toronto to get there. Screw boston and their pitiful azzes.

Zizic looks good.

He runs the floor much better and he looks unstoppable out there. Every tiem he gets the ball down low it's either a hard double and he finds the open man intantly or it's a foul and he goes to the line.

Is it over?

Yep :/

Zizic had 15 points and 7 rebounds in 18 minutes and basically looked like Shaq out there.

His touch continues to impress me and it seems like he just doesn't miss from the post. Unfortunately scrub king Ivica Zubac for some reason takes some of his playing time and even started in previous games(can't remember if he did today as well...Zizic clearly outplaying him). The log jam at C is unreal.

I don't trust Zizic's offseason work ethic.

This guy should be supervised and train with professional trainers in the USA during the off-season. Right now it seems to me like he enjoys the off-season a bit too much. Spends his time on the beach and his ridiculous tan gives it away.

This fucker needs to work for crying out loud and I don't see any added clean muscle mass on his frame.

Don't let him leave the US(in a pleasant way) next season and surround him with trainers and cooks.

I think some time off would do him some good. He hasn't been home or had any time away from the game in a year. He played summer league in 2017 with BOS, was traded and with CLE all year then summer league again.

I just couldn't fucking care less about it. It's ancient history. We won a championship. We were never owed a dynasty. To think otherwise is childish.

I'm truly grateful for the LeBron era, but I'm super excited that we're making moves to establish a post-LeBron identity.

we gave away five years of relevance and winning through idiotic front office decisions and wasted opportunities, in exchange for a period of rebuilding that based on the history of this franchise is going to be painful. It's not ancient history and it's not childish for a sports fan to be pissed about that. Anyway, you are right that it's water under the bridge now, so that's all I'll say.

Is Toronto deep enough to challenge Boston? I know they have some good young players but i honestly dont know who they signed this off-season. Seems like its gonna take more than Leonard/ Lowry to handle Boston.

In almost any other era, we win multiple championships. Just our luck that we run into a historically-great team that had such good timing that they got historically-better. It should not have been possible. I hope the League changes the rules to prevent if from ever happening again.

Our one championship will always be special; I just wish we would have had more of a honeymoon, before the underperforming and bad vibes started. By the time the league is up for grabs again, I’ll be an old man...

I miss Allie already. Had to browse through her instagram page, and boy is she hot.

Really thought Cedi and her would develop a sexual relationship, but she had to choose between true love and more money, and she made the wrong choice.

Great smile, great legs, great tits, great lady. Hurts more than Lebron leaving.

I thought they were deeper than Boston already and they added Danny Green and Leonard for Poertle and Derozan. I think they are deep as hell and have a really good wing rotation. Really they traded a guy who was a good regular season performer for the best playoff SF not named Lebron. Pretty sick. Boston may think they are the ones to beat, but it isn't going to be easier than last year for them.

Personally I think that we aren't going to see some huge leap adding Hayward and Kyrie. They will be better and may make more clutch shots, but their defense will be worse I think. They may not share the ball as well and Horford got a year older after having one of his best years. He is one year younger than Lebron. IS he going to have another stellar year? I dunno, but the Raptors should be able to contain him as well.

I'm picking the deeper team with the best player on it to win the east. Possible Toronto has injuries or never gels or something, but I think they can be really good. Super defensive versatility and offensive versatility.
