2016 ECF: (1) Cleveland vs. (2) Toronto

Crying Jordan at OKC still being in it, but at least Miami's out!

Raps are low-key my second favorite team. Having said that, I'm bearish about their chances against the LeBron show, especially with JV questionable. I do think they'll get in the way of Cleveland being 12-0 going into the playoffs. Cavs in 5.

As much as I'd like to see the Raptors get past them....sweep.

Look at that schedule. 1 day rests the entire series and the Raptors are coming off a game 7. The West gets a 3 day rest Friday-Sunday....jeez.

I'll say sweep. Which of course means that the Cavs will lose their first game of the 2016 postseason in this series.

As much as I wish to see Raptors advance, they will have little chance in the finals. I will go with Cavs in 4. It seems LBJ and cos want to redeem themselves from last year's embarrassing finals performance. I just cant see less than 100% Raptors winning this series. Too bad.

Cavs in 6

Cavs in Finals in 12.

Cavs in 6 especially if the Trash Bros. show up at least 2 games.

the cavs are your champs. they just playing for second over on the west coast

Cavs in 4. Hobo Kobe and Lowry won't be enough for this on fire Cavs team.

I'm amazed the Raps even made it this far. Then again it's the East and basically everyone over in the East was playing to see if they could win one or two games against the Cavs.

Hope whoever emerges in the west beats the Cavs though. Because fuck Gilbert with his whiny-ass bullshit.

Would be nice to see the Slim Reaper go up against the King. But I think the Warriors overall would serve as a more entertaining opponent.

Lowry just started coming around in Heat series. Let's hope he further shakes off injury and starts playing like himself again to fuck up the Cavs and make LBJ bolt out of Cleveland once more.

be nice to see Scola in this series. if patterson isn't hitting, why not?

Lowry just started coming around in Heat series. Let's hope he further shakes off injury and starts playing like himself again to fuck up the Cavs and make LBJ bolt out of Cleveland once more.

wooord !

LeBron and KD to Philadelphia.

Kyrie going for 50 with all these (not very) easy layups.

The Raptors have just made a bit of a run, but the Cavs are looking very sharp and motivated.

Kyrie is kind of good when it comes to bouncing leather balls on a wood floor.

Perhaps we r witnessing the least competitive conference finals ever.

He's not too bad at it. Another angle:

As lopsided as the game is, as much as it's not shaping up to be a classic series...the Cavs' performance at both ends is pretty damn impressive, so I'm kind of enjoying it. LeBron and co are putting on a show.



That was insane. As it stands, he's 11/13.

Sums it up:

I stand corrected. That missed dunk by Ross sums up the game.

Good video if you want to know how the Cavs are different this year with older LBJ and healthy sidekicks.

I am hoping for a rematch between Cavs and Warriors as we were short changed last year with injured Cavs but Thunder will be cool too. Durant vs LeBron Finals vol 2 will be interesting. Since losing to the cHeat, Durant and Westbrook got better while LBJ's athleticism has gone south a bit.

That said, he was looking spry in Game 1.

So... Another roflstomp tonight?

We've seen this in last series. Spurs annihilated the Thunder in the first game of their series but the Thunder made an adjustment and won the following game. I think the Thunder will take the game 3 at home. We'll see.
