Cavs vs. Pacers - 2018 NBA Playoffs 1st Round

[Rambo!]

Derrick Rose having another good first half. So imagine this team with healthy Kyrie, Wade and Rose.............Could have won it all folks.

I agree IF also we would have traded the BKN pick for Deandre Jordan. I tried and tried and tried to push this and people were more concerned with rebuilding to be a below average team after Lebron leaves than competing for one more title.
1-Hill/Rose 2-Wade/Smith 3-James/Cedi 4-Love/T.T. 5-Jordan/Zizic >>>> current roster. Also that lineup +1 legit title run > Cavs rebuild with a #8 pick who could become a solid started and the Cavs being a fringe playoff team for 5 years.

DeAndre Jordan for the Brooklyn pick is just bad value for us. Just terrible...even if the pick ended up worse than the deadline projection.

You are right as well but i think it would have been D.Jordan + a pick swap so not as bad as i made it sound.

Derrick Rose was awful with us. The occasional good half doesn't change that.

Also, healthy Kyrie is a fantasy.

Also, Rose gets 5 minutes a game with Kyrie and Wade.

Also, GS and Houston are laughing at a defensive back court of any combo of those 3.

Jordan+pick swap for both of their picks would have been pretty sweet.

I tried pushing this to use one of the picks on JC.

These can be easily applied to the dozens of daily Cedi and Zizic post . Exactly how I feel Every time I see a “ only if Lue would play Cedi and Zizic for energy blah blah blah” I truly believe Cedi fans need some serious counseling and possible medication .

The image I get of all the Cedi and Zizic fans frustrated that neither r playing is priceless .. like listening to a Lib whine about Trump 24/7 .

Lance clearly plays at his best when starting with LeBron. Idk why it’s so hard for this coach to stick with what seems to be working. Him playing inconsistent minutes and having to share them with Tristan has really thrown his game off

"Lance"?
You just cost me 15 seconds of my Life.

Stephenson has got into your head......

Come on guys, playing rookies in playoff situations never, ever works ever. There is a 100% chance of failure if Cedi Osman sees even 15 seconds of gametime in tomorrow night's game.

Remember when we plugged in that Gibson kid from Texas in the '07 playoffs against Detroit after giving him very sparse minutes against the Nets and the Wizards? Awful mistake. Nearly cost us the series.

Do you also remember Boobie in the Finals and how that affected the rest of his career, or should we not talk about that, ever?

I think it would be a good idea to give Cedi some burn, especially if Hood continues to suck, but let's not pretend it's without risks or that it's a sure-fire winning move.

Derick rose and wade were trash. We were severely overrating them.

Wade played one great game against the 76ers and then went back to being a sporadically decent defender with no shot.

Rose is more of the same.

It’s better to consolidate all of the bad shot selection ride or die mentality into Jordan Clarkson. At least he has show a
Better track record of stringing together strong offensive performances.
