Sorry for the ESPN like headline y'all Thought it would be funny lol
But with LeBron and Co rolling, is there any chance they don't lose?
Personally I think they sweep TOR (I'm hoping the Raptors can steal 1 ), and while it will be tough for them to be able to sweep OKC or GSW I think it's possible if those teams are worn down by the time they reach the finals.
Maybe they don't go 16-1 (we went 15-1), but if they sweep Toronto and then win Game 1 they'll beat the 11-0 playoff start we had that year. I won't be too pissed because they've played cupcake teams, but it's still a significant accomplishment for Bronze
Cavs are going to get waxed by Cleveland in the Finals. So, no.
This is why I come to LakersGround.net. For hard cutting and gritty analysis like this. _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please
The key will be the adjustments Lue makes when the pressure ratchets up. Will he adjust his tie in the mirror, or just expose his teeth to ensure there's no arugula wedged between his choppers. For me, that will determine whether the Cavs can roll Cleveland and jeopardize our 15 - 1 mark.
Count on lots of "who me?" gesticulating when fouls are called, too. It will get physical, to be sure ... it may seem like there are only five players on the court, but rest assured that Delly will find someone to run into. That's how the Cavs will win; and Cleveland will still manage to lose. Is that the Curse of Cleveland: losing even when you're winning?

That 1 loss still pisses me off to this day! Overtime and everything.
True story: I watched that game on Michael Jackson's big screen at the Neverland Ranch. Don't ask, it's a long story... _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss
