Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

1. Great series by the wizards.

2. Wall and Beal are a great back court.

3. Pierce is a legend and was great this series.

4. Wizards are a much better team then i thought they were and they play great defense.



5. I called hawks in 5 or 6 games.

6. I didnt think the wizards could consistently score over 100 points against us before the series started.

7. I havent crunched the numbers but i thought they would average less then the 96 points they scored against us in the regular season.



I understand all the wizard fans who flexed on me throught the series, but where are the crabs who talked all series and sent gifs laughing about my series prediction now?



VNI can you locate these people for me?

Your series prediction was wrong. You said Hawks in 5 before the series and switched it to Hawks in 6 after they lost game 1.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Not afraid of the Hawks at all. Regular season don't mean ****.

With the extended rest, the Cavaliers should be reasonably healthy headed into the next series. Which means the Cavs head into the series with clearly the two best players, and arguments could be made that they have the better surrounding cast too.

Interested to see how Carroll handles LeBron and who Korver guards. Cleveland's defense is much improved, and given time to actually scout out and scheme against plays, the Cavs have a good chance. Plus, the Hawks struggle down the stretch of game without a star player. Meanwhile, those are situations the Cavaliers thrive in.

Cannot wait, should be a good one.

That would be incorrect. I said 5 min or 6 max. Didnt have to change it. I called nets in 4 or 5 was wrong that series. This seriesi was right on, didnt have to change.

I've got the Cavs in 6. If it's not 6 it'll be 7 but no way I see LeCleveland losing.

we just inked Gortat to a big contract..so he's going nowhere...Nene is still under contract to next year (hopefully he retire)..Gortat plays better when Nene off the court..but Coach Whittman can't see that..need another 4, would like a stretch 4 so Gortat can stay download..love to get Milsap if he's free

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I think Carroll will have his fair share of trouble with LeBron going into post up mode.

As a true fan of your team i understand your position. It will be a good series. The best team always wins in a best of 7 so it will work itself out on the court.

Crush them..BUT, I see the same problem we had with them..y'all bigs going to have to guard their bigs..Mozgov not going out that are or is Thompson..Milsap and Thompson should be a nice battle

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I've got the Cavs in 6. The Hawks just don't match up well to them imo and they can obviously generate offense like crazy and they have two guys who can go nuclear at any moment (James and Irving). Regular season don't matter as everyone around here knows.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I think I'll ride with ATL in 7....mostly because I think Kyrie won't last the entire series...

The Hawks in the Finals....just feels odd typing it lol

Exactly. How many times did the Pacers and Bulls handle the Heat in the regular season when Bron was there? How'd that turn out for them? Lol

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Think Millsap is a better matchup against LeBron defensively than Carroll is... Still, the two of them should be able to hold their own.

Lebron cant be guarded by anyone. So we dont expect demarre to lock up bron in the post. We gonna guard him the same way we did joe johnson.

The real issue is whether or not we can punish them in the paint when they run bron and tt together at the 4 and 5.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I actually think the Hawks match up well but I'm worried how they have played this postseason. I think this will be a long series. I'll go Cavs in 7 because Lebron.
