The Cavs had two completely different rosters this year. NBA playoffs aren’t one and done. Cleveland’s up 3-0. They’re better.


I'm talking in terms of talent from 1-12 on the roster. Larry Nance hasn't gotten off the bench for the Cavs and he was a centerpiece in the deal for Thomas. They've a bunch of bench players starting alongside Love and LBJ. The Raptors are deeper and they should be beating the Cavs based on that depth. That's where I'm coming from.

I agree they are deeper. Maybe they should be beating them but they’re not. 3 straight Ls. It helps that Cleveland has the best player on the court averaging 36-11-8. Most importantly, playing 43 minutes a game.

Correct. Depth doesn't much matter in the playoffs because you can extend your starters out. There are no back to backs so depth matters little. Lebron has been going 40 plus in virtually every game during the playoffs.

Many more tickets on the Celtics but vast majority of the money on Philly tonight. Celtics line is high (-6.5). The line should be lower but Vegas can’t risk it. It’s been an absolute pleasure watching Tatum and Brown this postseason. Should be a fun one. Funky start time.

See the difference when you have two guys that dribble even though one of them is garbage ass McConnell. Would much rather see Fultz.

You can have him. At least Brown made an adjustment and realized that the one dimensional jump shooters weren't cutting it. Too easy to guard. Adjustment came too late though.

Always remember that Delladova also once fooled the people into thinking he was a player too. Milwaukee was more than happy to fall for the banana in the tailpipe.

Its cool. Shit at this stage i will take the win any way i can get it. Even if it means riding with McConnell's bum ass. Hell I'm not much of a fan of Covington ( Chicago's very own). I think Colangelo re upped him for 15 mil a year this season.

Minnesota double or nothing. Those are the terms for me. Unlike you i don't reverse course mid stream. Sorry Pal.

My bad. Didn't see that grammar police.

Still correct use of the term however.

Yeah can't see them winning in Boston. The one thing that has plagued Philly all season has been the inability of anyone other than Simmons to create off the bounce. Don't know why it took Brown so long to make the adjustment. Would rather see Fultz but it worked out tonight.
