Except I don't know who would want these scrubs

Valenchoooonus is a decent big
Ibaka is multi lingual
Lowry looks homeless half the time
DeRozan has acne issues
Drake is switching from Jordan to Adidas soon

I guess the rockets could use a backup to Eric Gordon, so we will take DeRozan.

They really are stuck. Might as well just ride it out until these big arse contracts become moveable

The Cavs will make it to the Finals and Derozan or Oladipo will be the best player they face.

The Rockets faced a better player (maybe even 2) on the 8 seeded Timberwolves.

Let's not get carried away.

Jimmy butler is better than both, but hobbled version of him is definitely not.

Yeah let’s break up a ~60 win team like the Hawks did and put out a dogshit product instead. It’s unfortunate they suck in the playoffs but not every team can win a title and blowing things up will set them back at least a decade.

I legitimately feel for them...

DeMar DeRozan finished with 3 points in the 1st half...

DeRozan has 6 playoff halves with 3 points or fewer in his career. 4 have come against the Cavaliers.

I mean I don't think Wiggins is better than current oladipo.

And Kat was an absolute shell. Pathetic actually

Lotta truth to this. You just have to sit back and wait for LeBron to move on or retire.

One of the best players in the league was on the 7 seed in the East. So what?

The 8 seed in the East had two elite players too.

Kat had a bad series against a great team.

make no mistake, he's still better than anyone the Cavs have faced so far

Whoa whoa whoa, elite?

No way.

I think even our resident Wizards fans would scoff at that.

You are correct about Giannis.

Maybe 2, but also maybe 0...not sure what point you're going for there.


The Raptors won 59 games, not sure why we're all of a sudden trying to devalue them. The main reason they have the rep they have is because of Lebron, so I'm not sure why we're not trying to devalue Lebron beating them, it's weird.

Wiggins is nowhere near Dipo, not even close.

Right, so you can't flatly tell me KAT and Butler are better than Derozan. Butler was hobbled and KAT stunk it up much like Derozan is, so what's the point of talking up the 2 TWolves guy and beating down the guy on the 59 win team...I don't follow the logic at all.

You're doing it again.

You're devaluing the Cavs against a 59 win team, then making excuses by saying well KAT just had a bad series against a good team.

You do see what you're doing there and how it's pretty biased, right? Not sure how you can not see that.

Toronto is notorious for its failures in the playoffs, but this year I think they just got GOATed. They really deserved to win last night after the way they fought back, then Bron just shite on their soul.

Wrong.

I devalued the Raptors wayyyy before they played the Cavs.

As did most everybody on this board.

And I wasn't biased, I was right.

They're frauds.

If Lebron didn't exist, they're probably going to the FInals. You can disagree, that's fine, but they're the best non-Cleveland team in the East right now.

Were you? Or are they just not good enough to beat Lebron...like every other team in the East the last 8 years? Not sure why you think you can call victory there, the Raptors are pretty clearly the best team in the East that doesn't have a player named Lebron on it.
