Sad Leonard wasn't ready to carry the team yet.

Kinda like how Aminu did to us last series? Felt like the guy couldn't miss.

Thank goodness we don't have to see that scrub again for a few more months lol
Yes, though even worse than that. Roberson's mechanics are pretty bad and he's shooting 27% from 3 for his career.

I could see Duncan coming back for another year as a Kevin Garnett type player/coach, with an even more limited role as a player.
He needs a ballhandler next to him. Slot Parker into the Patty Mills role, and find a new starting PG might be their best move

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I don't think he ever will be a guy to carry a team... I just don't think he's that kind of player.

Why isn't Kawhi still in? Like OKC keeping Durant and Westbrook in making sure the bench doesn't blow it.

Celtics bad luck is why the Thunder are advancing ;p
Ainge has bad juju
if the Celtics don't get 1 or 2 , 3 at worst then Celtics have awful luck

Wow OKC are just destroying Old Man Tim and his Senior Citizens Spurs.

They'll probably force Kanter out but I think Adams will force GS to keep a big out there.

Lebron must have the biggest smile on his face. Not facing the Spurs again. This is it for the Cavs, no better opportunity to bring Cleveland a championship.

I guess that Durant to Toronto Dream is dead.
Even Drake gave him a shoutout in a song on views

Honestly think they want Golden State. All offseason it's all LeBron and co could think about. If we can get through the ECF, and healthy.
Although I wouldn't mind if it's the Thunder, I really think they want GS
Kerr has no qualms going with Draymond if it's just a lone big, but if Kanter can somehow hold up then it could really kill GS on the boards.
I'm not sold on Kanter being able to defend in space with lots of movement, but I could be wrong. He's already held up better than I thought down low in this series.

I think I Golden State is by far a worse matchup than the Spurs, based on personel

Warriors shitted on the cavs in Cleveland by like 30

Cavs would want the Spurs if they could choose

Roberson has been playing some fantastic defense on Leonard. The whole team has been playing good D. Even Kanter has looked better haha
I think they will. Honestly, the Thunder outplayed the Spurs, but the Spurs shot poorly. They were capable of forcing it off too if they had gone on one of those runs of threes. It just didn't happen after game 1.
Don't get what you're getting at...
But yes...Ainge's 'bad juju' has led to failure in any of his careers/endeavors. The man is cursed.

Remember what happened in January? That's gonna happen 4 times. Cavs can't beat the warriors.

Defending champions are 6-7 in NBA Finals rematches the year after. Just saying, it's no given thing, doesn't matter how many regular season wins.
lol comparing Regular Season to playoffs.

Game is starting to get interesting.
lol you crazy. Warriors are going to sweep the finals. Curry is going to destroy Kyrie. And for sure he wants to make Lebron eat shit after last year when people wanted to give Lebron finals MVP and ESPN gave him the espy. Anyone that thinks Cleveland has a chance is nuts. If Cleveland makes to the finals I'm putting money on the Warriors because I know I will make a little something.

Lol thinking the cavs can beat the warriors.
Such a wasted team, poor management and coaching. It's still incredible to think that they drafted Darko Milicic in 2003.

Just saying, the amount of salt would be historic if they did it. Go back when it was 2 games to 1 Cavs last year. The excuses were already piling up, and that was with the Cavs injury riddled C team. They never get any respect.
Of course GS would be favored, but you're crazy if you think they don't stand a chance.
Its like a twenty point deficit. I don't see a full comeback.

I hate to see Duncan and Manu's career end like this. Oh well their 5 rings can cheer them up I guess.
