Cavs win game 1 = sweep

Cavs lose game 1 = 5 game series.
That would be fantastic. But, I think...

I just think the discrepancy in our talent versus their talent will prevail in a playoff setting.

But for game one I do worry a little about some possible rust. I hope our primary focus is first on executing an effective defensive strategy, second on being disciplined on offense. Game one I could see the Celts getting hot and jumping out to a good lead. If that happens we can't try to catch up with offense as much as clamp down on defense then let our offense take care of itself. The Celts can bring some pretty intense defensive pressure so taking care of the ball and limiting turnovers should be our primary offensive focus. Securing rebounds should be a key area of focus on both ends of the court.
 
Seriously I want our guys to trash tak Olynyk for his pubes on his chin. He is such an easy target.
Though i'm not sure it's smart taunting the goat shoulder taker.
 
GSW must have cloned Jeff Gillooly or something....Competitors are dropping like Nancy Kerrigan all over the place.
How many people here are old enough to know what you're jesting about?

Just don't see how their all defense lineup (Bradley, Smart, Crowder) bothers us nearly as much as Washington: our guys just shoot over them. I mean JR, Korver, Lebron all will be able to elevate over this if they can get open. I know they'll fight hard, get strips, play good positional defense but I'm just not seeing it.

I was honestly more worried about Wall being matched up against Irving b/c he can match his athleticism.

Bradley and Smart can't stay in front of Irving. They'll try to keep him off balance by being physical but that doesn't worry me much either. Crowder can't contain James.
 
I think this is going to be an ugly, nasty series. The Wizards series would have been much more fun to watch.

I was wrong last series about the Raptors, but I think the Celtics will pick up a game or two in this one. The refs alone at home will help them.
 
It's time to show Boston that even with punting on home-court, we're still gonna beat that ass. I'm ready to take the soul of those asshats.

Fuck that hermaphroditic (W)NBA player, fuck the little leprechaun masquerading as an NBA superstar, fuck all the fake tough guys who think they have a shot from taking LBJ's crown, and fuck the cesspool (and all of their fans) known as Boston, MA.
