could you quantify the amount of respect that this year's cavs had accumulated?

Well. I think they competed. Had a lot of injuries. And still finished 4th
I don’t understand your point ?

I just do not like purposely trying to lose a game As a fan not much to be proud of

i don't think they accumulated much credibility at all this season, and even less over the last month. i hope they will gain some credibility in the playoffs.

Every time we play the magic, whichever brother is the center always has a big game and always bullies Allen and Mobley. This will be a good test to see if they learned from last year, that it’s cool to be nice and smiling and having fun in the regular season, but playoffs it’s time to get physical. I don’t want to have to sub in TT to send a message because our bigs aren’t tough enough.

Rotate TT or Morris in after a timeout or start of second/fourth quarter for 3-4 minutes to pound some bodies. It would keep Allen/Mobley fresh for end of half/game situations.
 
I think our overall talent is overrated but we are definitely more talented than the Magic. You could argue the Magic have the worst offense of all teams that made the playoffs & play-in. They also have even less playoff experience than us. Massive failure if Cavs don’t win this series.
 
They’ll lose handily to the first quality playoff team they face.

The Cavs were satisfied with any result of todays game but did not want to risk further injury to achieve a win..

Is that considered purposely trying to lose?
 
We’ve got a good shot at the first round, but no way in hell we get past Boston in the second

No, but the last 5 minutes or so of the game onwards it was obvious the team wasn't even trying. They weren't running plays, no sets, nothing. Just slowly dribble the ball past the halfcourt line and then... nothing. If the excuse we're going with is "they didn't want anyone to be injured" then, well, the players we ended the game with are the ones we should have started the game with.
