Why go for the woman that will challenge you, keep you honest and make you a better man, when you can have one that isn't too bright, and will do whatever you ask, giving it up at will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The Cavs defense will improve in the postseason IMO. LeBron coasts during the regular season, but he's a dominant defender in the postseason. He killed it on that end in the last two playoffs while simultaneously carrying an enormous offensive burden. Thompson and Shumpert also seem to lock in on D during the playoffs. Kevin Love is also a competent defender in their system. **** even JR Smith gets pretty good on D and starts gooning it up. Korver and Jefferson are also sneaky good system guys. Not having Dellavedova to stick on opposing PGs hurts though. Frye is also a crap defender, if he plays. And I think Deron Williams totally sucks on D. They're going to have trouble stopping Wall/Thomas/Lowry. But it's also not like the Celtics, Raptors, or Wizards are dominant defensive teams. The only truly great defenses now are Utah and Golden State. I think Cleveland is going to be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The NBA is the one sport where you can turn it on come playoff time. Cleveland is still the team to beat in the East, doesn't matter where they finish in the regular season standings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few teams in the league that are as bad as they've looked defensively, and they seem to be getting worse and worse. Remember when everybody started talking about what was going on with the Pacers a few years back and everyone was like "They'll flip the switch come playoff time" ? Eventually you are what you are, and what they are is a Church League defense Edited March 28, 2017 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not just a question of "turn it on" in terms of effort, because series play introduces an entirely new level of game planning. Defenses don't just try harder, they show up better equipped with what exactly they want to do and are able to make small changes as the series progresses. Cleveland will be much better when the playoffs start. Edited March 29, 2017 by Destino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 http://www.nba.com/article/2017/03/28/morning-shootaround-march-28-2017 No. 1: Lue may punt on high seed to rest Cavs' stars -- For the first time since Nov. 9, 2015, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not leading the Eastern Conference standings. Their 103-74 loss at the hands of the visiting San Antonio Spurs last night pushed the Boston Celtics ahead of Cleveland for No. 1 in the conference. As Cleveland looks at its last few games, coach Tyronn Lue may be willing to exchange a top-three seed so stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving can rest up for the playoffs. Click link for the rest My thoughts: they may be mini-tanking so as to fall to the #4 and hoping that we hang on to the #3 or better, but not overtake Boston, for the sake of avoiding the Wizards (as opposed to the Wizards wanting to avoid Cleveland, which is usually what has been discussed here) until the ECF, and facing Boston in the 2nd. I think Milwaukee snags the #5, so that's who Cleveland would face if they fall to the #4. Which would leave DC to face ATL, Indy, or Miami in the 1st, and (assuming they win) Toronto in the 2nd. I like that scenario. In fact, if we stay ahead of Toronto, that would actually give us home court throughout the playoffs, including the ECF.

Spaceman Spiff Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The Bucks can be nasty in 1-2 years. I know someone with close ties to the organization and that ownership is serious. I've been watching them this year and they have a lot of young talent. Brogdon last night hit a game winner to beat the Celtics and is in the ROY talks. There's no one like Giannis in the game. Jabari Parker was having a great year and if he can recover he can still be effective. They're building a new arena which looks amazing. Most of their key players on that team are 25 or younger.

I think they have the right to swap 1st round picks with the Nets this year, and own the Nets pick outright next season. So yeah, I'd say the future is bright. I hope they choke on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
