Probably not that bold anymore with the Kyrie news just dropping. I will also take the 3 seed now.

Probably going to be sizing me up for a new avatar. Toronto is scared shitless of the Cavs. Only team I can see having a prayer now is Philly.

lol, I am not celebrating yet,  but if it comes down to this I think we can both agree it's a win-win.

I’ve seen a lot of LeBron 4th quarters. A lot. That is up there as the best 7 minute stretch to end a game as he’s ever had. That was some scintillating basketball and decision making.

Damn.  I turned the game off with about 5 minutes to go.  Figured there was no way.  Pissed.

Same.  Once the Wizards made it an 11 point game with 5 minutes left I turned it off.  I was pretty annoyed.  The Cavs were dominating and playing great D and all of a sudden halfway thru the 2nd quarter you could see a big drop off with their effort.  There was 0 effort late in the 3rd and halfway thru the 4th and thus I figured they were coasting and getting ready to settle for the 4th seed.  Nice to see they came back to win. They had 16 turnovers and still win.  I am not sure if that is a good sign or not, but I will take a W in that situation and move on.  

 

I would also prefer to avoid the Wizards in the first round.  I don't think they can win 4 games against the Cavs, but they always give the Cavs a hard time.

Also, Lue continues to be a terrible coach.  The time off obviously hasn't provided clarity.  I can somewhat live with Green starting over Nance, but having Nance share minutes with TT is a fucking disgrace at this point.  Not to mention that lineup with Nance/TT is fucking awful (this was actually the final breaking point for me last night).  I don't understand why Lue insists on trying to force lineups that clearly don't work.

Looks like we may have to live with it for awhile. Not the lineup I was hoping to see.

This is the funniest reason for LBJ to leave Cleveland I have heard. Must be a slow sports news day.

Chris Sheridan deserves some credit because he did accurately predict when and where to Lebron would leave the previous two times (although predicting he'd come back to Cleveland wasn't that big of a reach) but god damn if he hasn't milked every ounce of that ever since.
