Celtics/Cavs - LeBron leads Cleveland past Boston, much like last year. Warriors will dispatch either of the Rockets/Jazz. = Warriors/Cavaliers IV The problem will be the Finals with anti-climatic. Warriors probably sweep any team that gets there. Heck...they already make any series they are in pretty boring. I haven't even bothered watching the games they are in. All the fun stuff to watch is in the East. And I can't help wondering if the Cavs can get past Boston. Celtics play defense. The Cavs role players certainly came to life all of a sudden when they were playing the Raptors instead of the Pacers. Wouldn't be surprised to see a regression once/if they get past the Raps. Lebron is just ridiculous. I mean, seriously. I would argue that he has never played better than he is right now. I feel like he could take me and three other posters from this thread to the Finals this year. Kind of a tragedy that he didn't get to play for a great coach early in his career. He's had to get to where he is pretty much on his own. Reminds me a little of Dirk. Don Nelson was pretty good at what he did, but I thought he should have gotten Dirk to develop a low post move or two early in his career instead of just parking him at the 3 point line. Dirk finally came up with that unguardable fallaway on his own. Brad Stevens might just be the best coach in the NBA. I was excited as hell when we signed him because I saw what he did at Butler. Who takes Butler to back to back NCAA title games?!?! I knew he was good, but this is ridiculous. You lose your second best player on opening night and still lockup a 2 seed. You lose your best player down the stretch headed into the playoffs and win your first round matchup. You lose your leading scorer in the playoffs (Brown) and win without him, then win again with him coming off the bench at 35%. It's crazy. Agreed. That could be what gives Boston the edge in this battle over the next decade. At some point, the Sixers might have to upgrade the coaching so they don't play bridesmaid every year. |
