Lol am I missing something here? We just swept a good Indiana team and lebron looked like the best player in the world?
This is classic ESPN.

Agreed on Indiana being a good team. Is the East really that weak if Indiana is the 7 seed? Or is the East really weak in the sense that no team can beat a Lebron James led team?

Also saw a stat last night that Lebron has the most NBA 7-game series playoff sweeps in NBA history with 10.

If you count 5 game series, Lakers have the most at 13 and the Bulls have 11. Lebron will probably sweep 4 more series before he retires and will hold the record on his own over franchises.

Curious what their rank is with Jr, Love and LBJ all playing in same game (ie, normal starting 5)

Looking like they will probably face Toronto in the next round.

I think I'd almost lean towards Toronto over Milwaukee in this next round. I don't root for Delly but I could see him going from a former fan favorite to a heel when he dives and takes out Love or Kyrie's knees.

Per L2M report, Lebron traveled last game before go-ahead 3... LOLOLOLOLOLOL. What purpose do these reports even serve?

It's about creating stories and selling the game with more drama/discussion points. It serves no actual benefit for the fans, the refs, or the teams.

Haha....Thomas (Celtics) travels just about every time he touches the ball. Where are these stories?

Only benefit I see is the accountability for the refs. If they are being fined, or are losing games, then it only ups the accountability. But it's probably only their credibility on the line.

But these reports are stupid, regardless.

I don't care if we play Toronto or the Bucks. It'll probably be another sweep or at worst case a 4-1 series.

I don't get why the wizards series starts before the cavs.

Anyway, predictions for the raps series?

I think the addition of Ibaka is intriguing, seeing as how he didn't play in any previous matchup. But it still should be over in 5, 6 tops.

I'm sticking with sweep by the Cavs. 5 games at worst.

I am thinking 5, but if Lowry/Derozan are BOTH on I wouldn't be shocked to see it go 6. I would be severely disappointed if this went 7.

The raptors need 2 guys to play at a very high level in order to beat the Cavs imo.

Cavs in 6 if they play same way as they did vs. Pacers (meaning KI and especially Love need to pick it up). Sweep if they play like they're supposed to.

This was my mindset. Hoping for the latter but expecting the former.
