Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

2 combined points from Hill, Korver, and Smith. 3-9 shooting from Love, 4-9 from LeBron. The announcers can say this is “spectacular defense” all they want, but it’s complete ass shooting from Cleveland. They’ve had plenty of open looks that haven’t fallen.

Celtics are a better version of Pacers- athletic on the perimeter and Stevens will push a physical game like them. They won’t be soft physically/mentally like the Raps. Little surprised how some Cavs fans are so welcoming of this matchup.
Can't guard and can't shoot. Celtics are so much faster than the Pacers which caused problems. Again, called the bad matchup.

Also, Lue just standing around not coaching.

I'll look at this in the only positive light I possibly can right now: We got all the bad basketball out of the way in Game 1. Did we shoot like 15% from the field? Before that's identified as hyperbole, I need to look up what we actually shot because a WNBA team would have put up better offensive numbers than the Cavs today.

Cavs probably won't shoot that bad and Boston probably won't shoot that well for the rest of the series. Little voice in my head is asking did Lebron orchestrate this so it looks better when he leads the Cavs to an epic comeback in the series? Either that or his elbow stats hurting and he signs with Philly in the off season.

Really no matter how the season plays out I see a move to Philly being his best option for getting max money and winning over the next 5-6 years. If this Boston team can shell the Cavs what will they do with Kyrie, Hayward, and another year or two under the belts of their Nets picks? I have a suspicion that this is the last time we see a competitive Cavs team until the window closes on the Warriors, Celtics, Rockets, and 76ers.
