The goal is Boston to win in 6, force them to get no rest, and we get 5 days off plus a 3 game rest between game 2/3.
 
don't even know where to post this but if Fox Sports doesn't throw money at RJ to be a new part of the Cavs broadcast team going forward?

Then I don't even know.

Such a NATURAL at it.
 
I hope we can use the series to figure out the bench and get guys there comfortable. The starters are looking good, but we are going to need that bench in order and in rhythm for the Finals.

Having the long rest now is a huge help. For LeBron, and for the coaches to try to nail down how the bench and rotations should look.
 
Not thinking this next series is gonna be a walk in the park. Boston is just so schematically good no matter who they plug in and play. You're getting two different versions of awesome defense going from Indy to Boston. I'm glad we played Indy first to wake everyone up. I've been waiting for Boston to shit the bed but it ain't happening. One things for sure, Bron is doing everything humanly possible to make Ky know he made the biggest mistake of his career leaving C Town . . .
 
Yeah, I'll admit to being scared of Stevens. He is going to go after every one of the weaknesses in our supporting cast like a dentist scraping at a cavity. He doesn't have as good personnel to go after us as Indiana did but he'll have his guys in our faces all game long.

But I never though we could sweep Toronto so what do I know.

I know he walks on water and his ato's are written on stone tablets by God himself but at the end of the day he can't actually put the ball in the basket himself. Celtics will give the Cavs a good drilling through our rotations and different looks. Just what they need. I actually think tye Lue has a chance to make an impact this upcoming series. I think he might even trap rozier just to mess with him and throw a wrinkle in.
Biggest issue is making sure korver is not marking a ball handler so they can't get him and love into a pick and roll
 
celtics need to lose another game or 2, then close it out. i want nothign to do with the sixers. Cavs will beat the celtics in 5 at most. Sixers could actually challenge the cavs.

I agree, 76ers are young inexperienced and they basically chocked their series away, still they’re the more talented team and Embid and Simmons are better than any other two players on the Celtics.

I think most if not all Cavs fan would rather play Boston, is there anybody on the forum that wants to play Philly instead?

I think Embid is highly overrated. Simmons is legit.
