So Chicago has literally SWEPT the Cavs this season. Woooowwwww.
Rondo-Wade-Butler

3 big game guys who have each given Lebron trouble in the past (Rondo with Cs, Wade with Heat, and this year Jimmy has bothered Lebron a lot)

Chicago, particularly the vet players you listed, want to make the playoffs. They had a lot more to play  for tonight than the Cavs did and it showed.

This gave me a good laugh:

Yes, the Cavaliers’ defense is bad, but history shows they get things going when it matters in the playoffs. Head coach Tyronn Lue said he has a “secret plan” to fix Cleveland’s defense, but he’s holding back on it for the postseason. Maybe there’s a method to his madness.

Secret plan....

Tyronn Lue is easily the worst coach in the NBA. He has no plans other than to get Lebron the ball, and have Kyrie shoot with 6 minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

Seriously, the team is a mess. Love is nonexistent, they have zero chemistry, and none of the role players are performing. If the Cavs dont make the finals Lue should be immediately fired.

if you are looking for the Lakers to win any more games you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

do you guys think that paul pierce will be in the rotation for the playoffs, 'cause right now he is getting some minutes, and he hasn't been playing from january to march.
that would be sooooooo cooool te see him get 20-25 min and go all out for one more time.

I would put money on him being in the rotation (15-20mins), Doc loves his Vets and basically saving him for the post season. He will probably play a lot of PF for the second unit.

If PP34 was still in the East, the Raptors wouldn't even make it past the first-round lol

I love to see the Clips beat GSW in the second round.

Clips would probably be my preferred champion after us actually, although that probably means Blake re-signs..

Pierce is 39 yo. I'm not saying it is impossible, but it is very unlikely based on his age and what I have seen from the Clips this season.

Lebron looks exhausted out there. He's having to do everything. It wouldn't surprise me to see him slow down a bit in the later rounds of the playoffs due to not having his normal rest at the end of the season.
