The 'swipe left for success' Eastern Conference Finals thread

[Paganism mark II]

this is done

but cavs capable of winning in boston... nope probably not

And on the flip side....Boston capable of winning back in Celeveland? Nope!
Anyone in the East capable of beating Lebron in a game 7?
Definitely not

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Rubbish!
2/3 always do enough. As long as 2 out of Korver, JR and Love score double figures it’s enough for Lebron.
And Thompson is huge

Relying on a player to score 40 is never a good thing. Asking JR to hit more than 3 shots is also asking a lot.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

This is going 7 games. Anything can happen in game 7, as we've witnessed before.

I just came here to post a LeBron appreciation post.

You are grossly underating Korver’s impact if you think they can’t get this series done without big games from Love.
Against anyone yes, but this Celtics team not so much. As I said, having Thompson is huge, completely changes the way Boston attacks

I used to think Korver was a pretty boy Tom Cruise look-alike, but this year I've become a big fan. Played a top game tonight.

 

[Magnum27]

Just not good enough on offense, missed far to many easy shots.

Going to be tough from here, whilst LeBron is on the other side.

He’s had a great playoff series

Mark Jackson said he played against the Celtics who had Bird, McHale, Magic ........

I know what Korver is capable of but he's not someone who is going to score 20 points too often. Love is the second best scorer in the team and after that it's Korver, then daylight. It needs to be a team effort to take a game in Boston.

very frustrating watching the Celtics blow a 2-0 lead.

we seem to be taking a lot of very low % shots under extreme pressure when there is still time left on the shot clock to move it around or to try something other than what we are currently doing.

bundle that with missing easy shots as well and we are handing the Cavs plenty of opportunities to go on good scoring runs.


Wont be shocked if we don't win another game from here. confidence looks shot.

to make matters worse, Boston winning the ECF is the last leg of a multi bet i was given for my birthday back in August last year. if we get up, i win $1,300

Marcus Morris has regressed back to what I thought Marcus Morris would actually be for this series.

Yes, and you’re answering your own question here.
Love doesn’t have to have an impact for Cavs to win on the road against this particular Boston lineup.
Lebron is finally getting consistent support from a variety of outlets, even the bench are starting to look like they’re dangerous (Calderon aside)

I think it's fair to say Stephen A Smith doesn't listen to himself when he talks.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I recall when Cleveland traded for Clarkson. Korver hit 32 the previous match, and then Clarkson became flavour of the month while Korver got SFA court time. It took the Cavs way too long to realise Korver was a much better option. Better late than never I guess.

 

[Superstar swan]

Think the cavs (read lebron) will close out the series now for their last two wins of the year

Are you saying they'll beat boston but lose 4-0 to GSW/HOU?

 

[nahnah]

Houston? They’re already gone

Thats exactly what im saying...they wont win a qtr against the warriors

 

[Paganism mark II]

Houston? They’re already gone

Yeah....I’m not entirely convinced of that.
The evidence this series suggests GSW are in a different class, but I wouldn’t be taking too much notice of the score line from game 3

[fidstar]

Did you know LeBron once came back from 3-1 down in the Finals?!

Go and have a good look at yourself

What odds are you offering on that?
