Our first game against Boston was close, and that was without the gell the team has now. The team we got now can play bad and still win by 10 plus. Throwing it out there now. Cavs vs Lakers in the finals. I don't know how that would go though. Only matchup I am scared of.

Agree with everything you just said.  We played Boston our first game where Wright and Sasha were getting heavy minutes to test our line-up.  But even then, we only lost by 5...

I'm glad the Celtics beat Orlando up tonight because the Magic have been getting a lot of recognition lately and now they are being thrown aside because apparently losing to Boston immediately eliminates you as being an elite team haha.  But Boston would have gotten praise regardless, but now Orlando will lose some praise.  I can't wait until we play Boston again...

 

The Celts are clearly the class of the East, they have the championship to prove it too. These excuses mean nothing, the Celts are destroyig good teams when they've played them, the Cavs have played 3 good teams all year and lost all 3 games. The Celts have the best record in the East despite the fact that every team is bringing their A Game against the world champs. So far the Cavs have played a popcorn schedule and still haven't proven they can win against top flight competition on the road. There is no way that I see the Cavs beating a Celtics team that has finally figured out how to play with one another in pressure situations. This is not the same Boston team that struggled in the early rounds of the playoffs trying to find its identity against teams like the Hawks and Cavs who were under no pressure to win.

The Cavs are 3-2 against the top 10 teams in the league and 7-3 against the top 16.  Considering all of their losses came on the road, I'm not worried about them.  Two of them, IMO, were "scheduled losses" with the road back-to-back and ring ceremony. 

The Cavs will beat plenty of "good teams" at home and on the road this season.  They're too good not to.

Agreed Joe....but it is good to see the enthusiasm of the fans for our team, I must admit. Not so gloom and Doom around here these days.

Let the good times roll!

You've just described a classic symptom of LeBronabation. Besides a fixation on LeBron, most LeBronabators suffer from narcissistic tendencies, including an inability to think of any team outside their home town. They typically suffer from the delusion, in fact, that the world revolves around their (typically East Coast) city. Don't sweat it. Let the game decide.

LeBronabator

 [le-bron-uh-bey-ter]

 - noun

1. Found predominantly on the East Coast with the highest density centered in and around Manhattan. LeBronabators tend to be middle aged white guys whose profession is closely tied to the reporting/editorial side of the media business. They are often discovered engaging in secret mental stimulation (although it has become popular to actually spew their emotional, illogical and narcissistic thoughts in public as of late) as they fantasize about a certain Midwest born and bred NBA basketball player, who is under contract for at least 2-3 more seasons in his very own home town. In such delusional imaginations, this player will suddenly, and without any hesitation or remorse leave the much superior NBA organization he is under contract with for the LeBronabators' hometown-disaster-of-a-franchise run by a disaster of an owner who recently replaced his own hand-picked biggest disaster of a GM/president/head coach in NBA history with a long-time decent yet ring-less GM and a veteran head coach.

I say let the game be decided out on the court, we have the personnel to beat LA and Boston because LeBron finally has good players beside him who can play without LeBron controlling the ball.  When it comes crunch time, LBJ does what he's supposed to do and that is take the ball and go put the game away for us.  We are a very good team, I wouldn't call us great yet. Boston and LA are the two best but we're right there behind them. But seriously guys, just let the games begin!

The Cavs will beat the Celtics in the playoffs. We almost beat them last year and that was without Mo Williams or any kind of offence. Also I just have a gut feeling, I juust cannot picture the Celtics in the Finals this year, I just can't.
