Espn: cavs projected chance to beat Boston in 2nd round is only 23%

[CelticsElite]

Just said it on tv

This is according to espn bpi

Not according to Charles who thought the Cavs were the team yo beat just 3 games after the trade.. Look at the Cavs now.. Back to their old ways.. And Bron logging stupendous minutes that he will be exhausted come playoff time.

starting to get more worried about the raptors


Trading an entire team away for a bunch of role players 2 months before the playoffs is probably not a title winning formula

[CelticSooner]

Never been a fan of ESPN's analytics.

[Moranis]

Does that project the Cavs with Kevin Love?

[Neurotic Guy]

There might be nothing I hate worse in sports than prediction machines.  Meaningless.  Would rather hear ignorant rants from people with biased perspectives.

Lebron won't be tired in the playoffs no matter how many minutes he has played or however old he gets. I already made this mistake and won't make it again. At this point I'm convinced he'll be chase-down-blocking people at age 40. We are not allowed to discuss how this is possible, only to acknowledge that it is possible.

Of course, this doesn't mean his team can't be beaten, or is even a favorite in the East.

I remember the win projections after GH’s injury.

Vegas has the Cavs as a clear favorite to win the East and while Vegas isn't always the best measure (the Raptors are still pretty low), I think it is a better gauge then some random espn analytic

Lol. Moranis I asked you a month ago why vegas was sour in the cavs right after the trade line when they had their second worst odds of the season and you went silent. Now the odds are favoring the cavs more and you are citing them. I couldn't make this stuff up. They are a flawed team with bad defense. They could win the east for sure but they have flaws

[Roy H.]

These projections are worthless.

[GreenFaith1819]

Games still have to be played...we still have to worry about TOR, WAS and maybe even a few others.

LeBron has ran roughshod over us for the last few years in the playoffs so I'd be hesitant still.

But I "LOVE" our opportunity.

We have a shot.

[MJohnnyboy]

Yeah... I distinctly remember those same projections not looking too fondly on the Celtics after Hayward went down.

We should probably check if he's a Cavs fan tbh
