    Isaiah has tired legs....I think this will be evident tonight. Yeah, he had 29 and 12 last game, but didn't have his legs under him in the 4th quarter. I think this rolls over to tonight. This translates to defense and putting dribble drive pressure on opposing D. I think we'll see a majority perimeter minded Isaiah tonight (more so than usual)

    Seriously. He is a professional athlete with 48 hours between games with NO travel.
    He did look a little funky on Mon night, but game 7s bring out the nerves.

    1H spread +2 looks tasty to me.
    Cavs playing simulated games for 10 days. Rustoleum.

    If your book offers, 1H ML Cs/2H ML Cavs parlay, take a look.

    Everyone that bets Boston here is crazy. Take cavs, wizards would have had a better chance. Celtics do not matchup well at all. This cavs team is better than last year and they already swept Toronto who I believe matchup better than Celtics.Celtics going to get swept.

    I considered that but at the end of the day it's not like they're not going to just try harder. It's the playoffs. They're going to try regardless.

    Celtics should lead at half as well. Just a matter of hanging on.

    No chance I'm betting against bron and company but I'd say this game is by far best chance Boston will have. Cavs been sitting for some time while boston been playing high stress games. Hard to imagine cavs can match celts intensity early on in this one. Again I see no point going against cavs but Boston certainly has a chance tonight..

    Pacers were a tougher test than Raps or Celtics. Celtics should have traded for Paul George. He is like one of a handful of guys that can play against LeBron.

    Or Butler. His defensive efforts against LeBron in 2013 and 2015 were probably some of the best defense that's ever been played on him. I'd even rate him above Kawhi (but would take Kawhi over Butler offensively to go back at him on the other end).

    George is probably easier to trade for than Butler though due to contract situation.

    Even with George or Butler, I don't think they are getting past Cleveland. Like MJ, LeBron isn't letting other teams from the East into the finals. It just isn't happening, at least not for the next 2-3 years while he is dominant. I've seen people suggest that C's should try to trade the #1 pick for George or Butler, but I think they're better off taking Fultz or whoever they take, and then try to take over when LeBron's career falls off in 3-5 years. By that time, their #1 pick will be entering his prime, and IT will still be in his prime.

    Bro didn't you just say they should've traded for George though?

    I'm not sure he is so unbeatable. There have been a couple of times teams have had him on the ropes during those 6 straight trips. I think his dominance of the East to this extent has as much to do with how shitty the East has been since the end of the KG/Pierce/Allen Celtics as with how great he is. Obviously it's going to take a special effort to actually pull it off, but putting together a roster that at least has an outside shot isn't THAT unfathomable.

    It's such a shame KD didn't hit free agency a year earlier or a year later. He obviously gave up on going to the Wizards because of their shitty season last year but if he had the opportunity to join their 2015 or 2017 teams maybe he does it and then we have KD and Wall vs LeBron and Kyrie in the East with the Bucks and Celtics as upcomers, and still have the Warriors, Spurs, Clips in the West along with the upstart teams like the Jazz and soon the Wolves perhaps.

    I'll continue to say just keep betting on the Cavs and Warriors until they lose a game in these playoffs.. One way to increase your bank roll over time. Gravy train...

    Wouldn't be surprised if both teams sweep again..

    Simply haven't adjusted to the NBA this playoffs. It used to be competitive. I guess Cavs sweep again.

    Been doing same but why "until they lose" the reason it such easy play is cause every game I go in knowing if they do actually lose we can just triple up the next game!!

    That how big of a clown Durant is that reason he passed on wizards is cause they had bad season? But yea sure he would have put a eastern team over the hump, lol.. Durant sorry ass knew only chance he had at beating bron was being on a team that had far and away the most talent cause he could never lead a team to beat bron.

    "On the ropes" bit of a overstatement, at what point in all these years has anyone thought bron was getting beat in east?

    Well after they took 3-2/2-1 leads in those series the 2012 Celtics and 2015 Bulls were favoured over the Heat/Cavs to win the series so that has to count for something. I think the 2012 Pacers were about +100 to beat them after going up 2-1 as well?

    Now obviously you'll counter and say LeBron had some of his greatest performances in those series to right the ship. And I wouldn't have too much to say to that.
