And the same trend of them being outplayed in the 4th quarter has been present in both games so far. That's not a good trend to have as they get deeper on the playoffs and play better and better teams.
But hey, they've beat the 8th seed team in game 1 and 2 and have given up an average of 109 points. Everything's perfect. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

First game came down to the last few shots and tonight the last minute. Seems likely the east is weak enough as always that the Cavs can use it to actually start playing well but they are not now. [Reply]

For once I actually agree with -King-
There is nothing to be impressed with so far. They are up 2-0 on a crappy basically one-man Pacers team. Big deal. [Reply]
thats the argument though, theres nobody to be impressed with in the East, the Pacers are no different than the Celtics which is why the Cavs no matter how they look right now will go through them all
Pacers - crappy 1 man team
Celtics - crappy 1 man volume shooter poor mans Iverson team with better wing defenders and terrible bigs
Hawks - crappy
Wizards - crappy 2 man team
Raptors - crappy 2 man team
Bucks - crappy 1 man team
Bulls - crappy 1 man team [Reply]

Maybe but they will get smashed in the finals against the Warriors or Spurs with that defense of theirs. Both teams are horrible matchups for the Cavs.
They will get exposed in the finals if they get there. [Reply]

That's called exerting just as much effort as they have to to win these games/series over subpar competition. It's much better than the alternative (see the worldbeater #1 seed Boston Celtics). [Reply]

It's almost like the regular season doesn't matter at all. Who would have thought?
So the Cavs aren't trash when LeBron isn't on the floor? Their defense overall isn't very bad so far? 109 points allowed in between the two games. That's good or bad Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
