So far Pacers have put on the best fight lol

Star Power is the thing in the playoffs. The Pacers put up a good fight because Paul George is great and can single-handedly make any game competitive. Lowry is in theory that guy for Toronto but of course he got hurt.

Isaiah Thomas is not that guy. Not even close.

The Cavs play only as well as they need to to sweep in the first round. The Pistons played the Cavs tough in the first round last year.

Nothing . Neither of them are even close was my point .

The funniest thing in these playoffs so far is 538's NBA model slightly favoring the Celtics in this series before game 1.

Nate Silver should just stick to baseball and politics.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Go Cav

 

[Lionel Richie]

What if the Finals is a mistake filled with nothing but blowouts, do we cancel the next season?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

GG BostonGAF

but Go Cav.

Nate needs to develop an algorithm for coasting:
If LeBron James = 1 then +40
If LeBron James = 0 then +0
All yours Nate

Most algorithms I've seen that try to predict the success of a basketball team have a hard time with teams that have a lot of role players like the Celtics. The deep end of the C's bench is better than a lot of other teams but it really shouldn't matter, especially in the playoffs.

Anderson Silva levels of "cmon son, Kelly Olynyk?"

 

[Tom Penny]

When you need an A game just to maybe get a win I don't think a D- is cutting it.

 

[neptunes]

Paul George needs to go to a contender, light a fire under Bron

 

[yuraya]

They should have just ended the series when IT tried to go 1 on 1 with Lebron earlier in the first half. Refs should have just blown the whistle and turned off all the lights in the stadium telling everyone to go home. It was done deal at that point.

 

[Tallshortman]

Paul George needs to go to a contender, light a fire under Bron

At this rate probably the warriors.

 

[Mortemis]

PG to the warriors. Hecomes off the bench, and adds to the death lineup of curry/Klay/Durant/green

Who says no

Edit: fuck

 

[alr1ght]

KD will be coming to the Cavs after the Warriors lose to them. That frees up a roster spot for Paul George.

Where will Curry go?

 

[Tom Penny]

Cavs and GS basically have 7 of the top 25 players in the league and 3 of them are at minimal top 7. The talent gap is massive.

LeBron James

 

[Tom Penny]

LeBron James

Kyrie Love
Curry, KD, Green, Klay

Rest of league..be happy with your one top 20 player on your entire roster if you are lucky...

He'll stay on his 73 win team

Spoiler

I still can't believe Kevin Durant is actually a Warrior

 

[Servbot24]

3 of the top 4 imo

 

[metalslimer]

Poor Olynyk. Dude was riding high from that last game and got smacked down to earth.

6 out of top 20 sounds better, Love isn't top 25 anyway. Lebron's disdain for Eastern Conference competition has been the most enjoyable part of these playoffs outside of like 4 games.

If Blake and Kawhi were healthy we wouldn't be having this discussion in the West, although Kawhi will be back for game 3 hopefully.

 

[friskykillface]

2 points 🐐

 

[Line_HTX]

Brian Scalabrine > Kelly Olynyk

Didn't 538 say Hilary was a lock to win?

I guess they should stick to baseball.

 

[TTG]

Is Al Horford Sharapova to Lebron's Serena? Lost 13 in a row man.

 

[Bluekaveli]

The east is soft as shit. Just cancel the entire conference.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

The east is soft as shit. Just cancel the entire conference.

Then who do you kick out of the West to make room for the Cav?

Probably The suns, they're not ever going to do shit. You know what? The clippers! Fuck them.

Houston. Rockets fans and haters will be cool with it.

Chris Paul could finally make the finals, he would be ecstatic.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Actually their model routinely gave Trump better odds than the rest and Silver spent a lot of time warning people that he could win.

In other news, all those glaring flaws of the Celtics showed themselves today.

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I truly believe the Bulls(healthy), Wizards, and Bucks would have put up a better fight.
