Jeez, while it's not official word is circulating that JV's injury is a 3rd degree sprain which usually requires 30 days or more rest. He spoke at shootaround today and says he's hoping to play in the next series if the Raptors do advance.

I can see them outshooting the Heat well enough to advance and then getting bullied inside by Thompson and LBJ, leading to more hot shooting from the Cavs.

If the Raptors advance I think every fan will hope JV can pull off a Bobby Baun.

Good defense or Bad offense?

There's some bad defense in there but it's mostly good offense. Lots of contested threes made, their ball movement is insanely good, they've mastered P&P, and LeBron/Irving drive + dish is very lethal.

I can tell you right now TOR/MIA after looking at this film are likely not going to double LeBron/Irving on the drive like ATL did. Pick your poison I guess but 2 < 3

Does Casey not tell these guys to stop taking 3s or do they just not listen?!?!

The collective basketball IQ of this team just sucks sometimes.

How is Wade the best aged superstar in the league.. That doesn't make any sense. I love me some Wade, and had his back on here when everyone else was salivating over Harden, but the dude has spent the better half of his career playing half seasons.. Meanwhile LeBron has played just as many seasons as he has, and Duncan has been Duncan.

I realize coming out of HS LeBron is younger, but his level of play and lack of missed time is pretty remarkable considering all his deep playoff runs. Same could be said of Duncan, even though he's not really at All Star level anymore. He's still a great help defender and up until recently a double double threat.

Lol that's a tech?

Re: 2016 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

They really called a technical for THAT? The officials in this league are so damn incompetent.

Man can either of these teams score well enough to compete with Cleveland right now?

Honestly when the playoffs started I wasnt' sold on Cleveland making the finals, they seemed to have so many issues.. But with how they are playing now, compared to how these two squads look, I could honestly seem them sweeping to the finals.
