Homie arguing the Cavs case, don't even waste your time doing that on this board, cause these cats on here can't stand the state of Ohio for some reason. The Cavs are 3-1 against the three top teams in the league. Last year the record was reversed as the Cavs were easily handled in the regular season. Then boom the playoffs come and Orlando shoots the absolute *$!% out the ball, play way over their capabilites, and now they are the toast of the East. Then they played the
Lakers, cooled off, and they are who we thougt they were.
Fast forward to this year, Orlando has lost Turk and brought in an old Vince, who as I expected would not fit with that team. Then tou have the Celtics, you watch them play and you see how slow they are, how old they are, how often they are
injured. You watch em a little longer, Christmas rolls around, and you notice Boston is losing a lot of games. Here it is Feb 1, and Boston has only won 6 of their last 17 games. People though, have the nerve to say, nothing is wrong wit Boston, they just having a hard time right now. NO, they old, and need to rebuild. I knew
it was a wrap for them when KG hurt his knee and Ray scoring went down
On to the Cavs. Cavs had a problem with not being able to control the paint, cause Z is too weak and slow, Wallace too old and short, and Andy too weak. Boom they get Shaq, yeah he old and has slowed down, but he still intimidates and is a wide tall body in the middle. This has led to the Cavs leading the league in allowing the fewest points in the paint. Cavs were too short and not athletic on the perimeter, so they bring in moon and parker to shore that up, result, matchups are even now. Powe still hasn't played, and, they've found Jawad to be serviceable so that's even more size.
The problem is though nobody wants to recognize this shift that's happening cause they are used to the Cavs being good but not great, and their is no respect for Cleveland sports teams due to our history of losing. Once you take your hater glasses off, you will see that the East will come down to, if Mike Brown continues to be an idiot during the playoffs. We matchup with every team in the league, Shaq is putting in work and intimidating people in the post, and Lebron is the greatest player in the NBA, so recognizze what's going on, and hope and pray for Cavs v Lakers in the finals. Cause if it happens, you could get to watch the passing of the torch, which hasn't really happened since the 80's
