Hypothetical question!
If Cavs had to play every Eastern Playoff Game on the Road, would you take them or the field?
I think they could pull it off, but if I had to put money on it, I just don't know.

Only safe money would be to bet on shell311 bitching about every game having to be on the road

Every Game?? Without doubt the field. Thats a long time of traveling away from home, getting ambushed by opposing fans every time you play. I think it'd get to them.

No way in hell they beat the Wizards or a healthy Raptors in that scenario. I think Washington will be a tough matchup with homecourt even.

From a broad view, no. But the real question has to be viewed in a series-by-series basis.

In their most difficult series (Cavs, Raptors, Wizards) you have to think about the layout. In a 5 game series would you expect Cle to go 3-2 vs Tor or Wash (good chance they won't play both in the same playoffs) in the first five games? I would which leaves them two games to win that series. You'd def have to put better odds on the Cavs winning 3 of 5. So assuming this probability the Cavs would only have to win 1 out of 2 games, I'll take the Cavs.

Now the Celtics. Besides the fact that the Cavs just killed them in Boston, what would convince you to pick a team lead by Isaiah Thomas (great player, no doubt) over LeBron James (8 straight finals)

I going with the Cavs. I would not bet against Lebron and the weak East to stop him.

As long as the home team wasn't given an advantage in the officiating I believe the Cavs would still make it.

Field


Not sure I woulda bet Field but in some of the other Lebron Finals teams of the past 6 seasons, they could have gotten through the East playing all road games IMO.

Not this team though.
