I didn't see it until the last replay. Looked like it hit the glass almost immediately on the way up

Lebron should just tap it down the court

If Tor/Mia goes 6 or fewer, game 1 is Sunday. If they go 7, game 1 will be next Tuesday the 17th.

According to this link, game 1 is Tuesday the 17th no matter what after announcement of draft lottery results. Has them playing every other day for the entire series.

Here is to Toronto and Miami going 7 and still not having their centers in the lineup.

In that first scenario, there'd be a FOUR day break between games 2 and 3? That's strangeBenny The Jet;1795203 wrote:https://twitter.com/BenAxelrod/status/729434924164382720

I think Cleveland is capable of sweeping either team. Ideally, let them beat each other up for a couple more games, then play Toronto in a week.

Tor and Mia has been painful to watch for the most part. I don't think either are very good. HOWEVA (Steven A voice)I'd rather see Mia. I know Lowry has been struggling, but that dude kills us/kyrie.

If they don't have Jonas, there is really nothing to worry about. He and Derozan will be forcing shitty shots. Hell, they were doing that with Jonas anyway. Even with Jonas, the Cavs should beat them in a series. They have looked like shit the entire playoffs.Benny The Jet;1795213 wrote:Tor and Mia has been painful to watch for the most part.

They kinda remind me of the Hawks last year. Both the 2015 Hawks and Raptors' last regular season game vs the Cavs was late in the winter and both teams treated it like their NBA championship. Both teams advanced in the playoffs despite looking like shit.

It's also going to be more fun to hear all of the ESPN personalities that openly dislike the Cavs/love the Heat whine and complain for about 4 games. Lebatard, Stugotz, Sedano etc.like_that;1795215 wrote:If they don't have Jonas, there is really nothing to worry about. He and Derozan will be forcing shitty shots.

To make up for that ill say Cavs in 6
Cavs drop one at home in the first two games. Everyone panics. Then 2-2. Then 4-2.
