I wanted to draft Drummond. I just have to say it once in awhile, and this seemed like the right thread.

I bet if you looked hard enough, you would see Drummond mentioned atleast once in each of the last 50 threads that were posted in.

And Lue makes it official that Thompson is now the starting center going forward.

 

[Pyro]

Can we count the regular season finale as game 1?

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

DET is a matchup where you need Mozzy.

Let's hope Lue pulls his head out of his ass.

Not worried about DET regardless, they are scrappy and SVG is a superior coach but Lebron is undefeated in the first round for a reason. He could take DET by himself.

 

[BimboColesHair]

The most inexperienced group of the bunch, but a coach with a Cavs voodoo doll...should be interesting, shouldn't go more than 5 games.

 

[flop]

Probably will drop a game, but Cavs take this in 5.

 

[wuck]

The only Pistons starter with any playoff experience is Jackson. I hope that the Cavs take advantage of that and don't get tangled up in a tough series with the youngsters.

By the way, I like the idea of threads for each series so we can discuss it as a whole instead of just game by game. Slap a public poll up there with "What will the final result of this series be?" and it'll be complete.

Cavs in 4.

It's not like a desert separates the two cities but I find it mildly humorous that the Pistons have to trudge to Cleveland for the final meaningless game of the regular season and then return days later for the real shit

100%. No need for a copy & paste job every other day.

We always have series threads in CavsTalk whenever the Cavs are in the playoffs. And we also have playoff game threads for game-to-game chatter. No different this year.

I agree on the poll and added one.

 

[David.]

we win 2/3, and thats the extent of our consistency this year.

so cavs in 6.

 

[CanadaEh]

The Pistons will take game 4 at home and that is it. Cavs in 5.
