2017-2018 NBA Season Thread Part 4 (Dancing in the Street)

Love being out really illustrates how bad this supporting cast is tonight...Lebron is playing 1 on 5 tonight so far.

About damn time!!!

Lebron played a lot better in the 2nd QTR

Boston choking the season away.

Yes they are, Rozier might as well be wearing a Cavs Jersey. Lebron played like the all time talent he is for the last 3 QTRS.

Congrats Cavs fans!!!

Cavs defense was superb in this game but the celtics couldn't hit anything. Scary Terry is right. That game will make you want to hide. Ugh.

Cleveland is pulling away at 2:00. Boston can be proud of a good playoff run. But I am not sorry they are eliminated. They are on the cusp of dominating the east and maybe the NBA, but they are like Real Madrid. They have at least two players that foul constantly and simulate constantly (Horford and Smart =Casemiro and Ramos) and it is totally intentional and cynical. When they get Kylie and Hayward back they will be nearly unstoppable and the closest threat to golden State.

I think Lebron could take 4 of me to the finals out of the East.

The Cavs are better on defense than they get credit for - the playoff version I mean.

Obviously they are probably going to get destroyed in the finals, but I barely care. I just really wanted them to beat Boston. I appreciate Brad Stevens, but that's a seriously unlikable team, and they have the worst fans in sports. Boston fans take the crown for the NBA, NFL, and they'd take it in baseball too if it weren't for the Cardinals.

Boston or Philly should win the east next season. Toronto is probably going to blow it up and depending on where LeBron ends up will dictate what happens in Cleveland.

I’m kinda hoping Cleveland uses the pick from Boston on Trae Young if he’s there. Would be a nice piece for starting over.

FWIW, LeBron really likes Trae and the Cavs have heavily scouted both Young and Sexton. We'll see...

Another draft related rumor --- Memphis or Orlando trading down with Clips, acquiring picks 12 and 13 for #4 or #6.

LeBron also liked Shabazz Napier, and the Heat drafted him for LeBron to leave anyways. I’d look more into who fits and could be the franchise player moving forward.

Absolutely. This pick was/is the key to the Kyrie deal, and not trading it for a rental was a smart move.

You know me....I'm in the "take the best player available and worry about where he fits in later, especially in a top-heavy draft" camp. Buy you have to believe that anyone drafted at #8 in this draft will still provide significant help next year, too.
