Celtics/Cavs- King James vs. K.G. (I can smell the ratings now!)

And Boston's defense had nothing to do with LeBron's off night? We'll see if your Cadaver's make the adjustments or not. If you're not a one man team, why did you lose?

Boston won by 4 at home. Let's keep this in perspective.

Yup, the Home team typically wins the close ones in the end. If we can win Game 2 and come back home for 3 and 4 with momentum in Cleveland's favor, this will get real interesting! If the Chowda's had trouble in the ATL, can you imagine their road play in Quicken Loans Arena!? Madone! :eek:
 
Yeah because 2 of the 3 headed monster shot lights out terrible! IF all 3 AND Lebron had there normal games.....Boston EASILY wins going away. Yeah, let's DEFINATELY keep this in perspective....

Oh please. The big 3, The big 3, blah blah blah!.........

As I said before, Ray Allen is well past his prime. How long ago did "He Got Game" come out btw? Paul Pierce is moody and Kevin Garnett is the A-Rod of Basketball.

Calling these players "The Big 3" is an insult to the Original Big Three in: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish.

Pierce is moody? Please he is a top 10 player in the NBA and has been for years.

KG brought leadership and integrity to the franchise, not to mention, DEFENSE Certainly not Arod who hits 3 run homeruns up or down 7+

Cleveland: CITY OF CHAMPIONS!

Oh, wait, nevermind:D
 
WOW.

All this trash-talking after one game.

God only knows what will happen if this series goes seven games.

The issue is people seeing their teams through rose colored glasses...or whatever that phrase is. Like I have said before....I have NO ISSUES with someone being a "homer"....but some folks think they actually have a team that can win Championships....and the ONLY "homers" that can brag are the ones that live in the Mass area....;) Now don't get me wrong, like I have said before....I HATE the Celtics, the Pats and starting to hate the Red Sox....but you HAVE to give the devil his due...they CAN BRAG...they have won championships...in ALL sports but Hockey in the last 10-15 years.

Ray Allen is better than ANYONE the Cavs have that is not named Lebron. Paul Pierce is top 10 player AS WELL AS Kevin Garnett. And WHAT does "moody" have to do with skills?:confused::rolleyes: And IF I am not mistaken, A-Rod is THE BEST if one one of the TOP THREE players in baseball....you may not like him, but that is a simple and plain fact!

I call them the Big 3 because there is NO OTHER TEAM that have 3 legit stars on their starting five.....none.....

My perspective is fine. Cleveland lost. Even if I change my perspective, Cleveland still lost.

We'll see. Neither team has won at the other's arena all year. Since boston has home court that bodes well for the Celts. But a four point win at home isa bit ofa letdown for the number one seed especially after the ATL series.

I was raised in New england and would love to see the Celtics advane but they seem more mortal than they dida few weeks ago.
 
First off, you're spelling is a bit off. It's LeBron, not Labron.

Second of all, Damon Jones doesn't get playing time unless it's a blowout. He's weak on defense, so he fell out of the graces of Mike Brown a long time ago.

I agree there will be some matchups that may seem to favor Boston on paper, but you will have to remember that this Mike Brown coached team thrives on great team defense. We also have a fairly deep bench, so the players we start won't necessarily play the most minutes at that given position. Brown likes to sub the players based on performance and will rotate until he finds the correct mix.

And to answer your question on who will guard the big three (and other 2, believe it or not, this is a team game)........

PG: Rondo vs. Delonte' West. Advantage= Even
SG: Allen vs. Devin Brown/ Boobie Gibson. Advantage= Boston
SF: Pierce vs. LeBron/ Wally Szczerbiak. Advantage= Cleveland
PF: KG vs. Ben Wallace/ Joe Smith. Advantage= Boston
C: Perkins vs. Zydrunas Ilgauskas/ Anderson Varejao. Advantage= Cleveland

Coach: Rivers vs. Brown. Advantage = Cleveland
Bench: Advantage = Cleveland
Home Court: Advantage= Boston
Player you'd want to take the final shot: LeBron James. Advantage = Cleveland

Sam Cassell coming off the bench to play the 1 spot push the advantage to the celtics.
 
Now THAT JUNK talk is TOTALLY acceptable because the Pistons HAVE been either in the Eastern Conference finals or the NBA Finals over the last 5-10 years. :cool::up

So, your inferring my Cavalier posts AREN'T acceptable? Do I need to remind someone who the defending Eastern Conference Champions are?!! :rolleyes: According to your criteria the Cav's ARE worthy.....

Again. Please don't rush to conclusions after 1 game. If you really want me to review my series-analysis after Game 1, I can easily negate Boston's advantage in Starting Shooting Guard, Ray "He-used-to-have-game" Allen!
 
Im just saying Sam Cassell is more proven then West plus with his history with the big 3 that helps.

Playoffs is all about experiance and Sam is a 2 time world champion.

I am basis it on his career in big games as well as this season with players he knows

No I am inferring that THIS Cavs team is NOT as good as THAT Cavs team. Lebron has a VERY long way to go before he is even close to MJ status, yet you seem to think that with Lebron, you are AS DANGEROUS as these Celtics. That is NOT thinking rationally, but thinking as a homer....which again, there no problems so long as you are realistic....and your arguments for the Cavs chances have not been.

First off, your argument that last year's team being better that this years is nonsense. The only thing we lost in losing Gooden and Hughes was inconsistency. In return we got a decent PG (West), a decent outside shooter (Szczerbiak), a shot contester (Wallace) and a serviceable savvy Vet (Smith).

Yes the East is stronger this year with KG and Allen joining the Celtics and they will be a formidable challenge. I'm not disputing that.

I just find your comments amusing. They are basically the same rhetoric that was spewed during last year's Eastern Conference Semi against the Pistons and we all know how that turned out.

Remember, in order to be the man, you have to beat the man!

REALLY NOW....??!! Gooden and Hughes would have gave you ALOT MORE chance of getting to the Finals than this group of has-beens and never weres.
West is a back-up with 90% of the teams in the league....Szczerbiak...has been one of the most inconsistent players in the NBA in the last 10 years...for every good game he has, he has 4 bad ones....and Wallace is MORE than a liability on offense and he has been dreadful since leaving Detroit...those are the hard facts.
And you STILL think this team is better than last year?
 

We could have ANOTHER Preakness/NHL debacle

Why I think baseball is a better game now than in the old days
