Detroit going after the ref, what a bunch of clowns. They're never going to call that at the end of the game.

We get a week of rest.

The only other team I think that can give us problems is Miami, just because our bigs suck

I realize that we won this playoff series and all, but I wonder if Drummond is going to hear about the cheap shot he threw at Lebron's head tonight? (at least the 2nd of this series, neither of which were called) He certainly deserves something in punishment for hitting Lebron again, intentionally, in the head.

Go Cavs! Not that a sweep wasn't all but expected.

Great weekend for Cleveland all around, 5-0 vs Detroit.

hats off to Detroit and SVG ... they battled us very hard. talent won out

now for a week of rest

A week off is great! Hats off to Detroit.

Next.

It was a great game, fun to watch until the very end. Go Cavs!

j/c:

A few points:

--Man, some of the comments made "during the game," are unreal. I don't post during the game because obviously, after reading those comments, it's impossible to do objectively.

--Great series for the Cavs.

+They were challenged physically by a team that played very hard. Thus, there was intensity there.

+They swept them and will get some much-needed rest.

+They came out healthy.

--I think the Cavs are playing w/some confidence and it's not let's just watch LeBron dominate. Guys are really stepping up and not just spectators. That is huge for the Cavs as they move forward.

I, fell asleep during the early part of the game. I'm a loser.


With that outta the way, I watched the highlights and wow. Hopefully they replay the game so I can watch it. It looked like a hard fought game, both teams playing with intensity and etc. Half court swish by Kyrie and so on.

Yeah, hopefully Fox Sports airs a replay so I don't pull an old man and fall asleep.

Awesome series for the Cavs.

That's why I almost always record the game even when watching it live. LOL

They could not be playing better at a better time. Combined with Curry's injury and who knows.

My only post game thought yesterday was ... and I never thought I would say this, but ... Delly is an actual NBA player.

I'm not looking forward to the whiteside/TT battle.

Not after the whooping Drummond put on him this series.

The fact that we are soft in the paint worries me. I think we will be ok, but it still is a little concerning.

It's very concerning for me. Drummond basically had his way.

Were you aware that TT should be a 4 and that Moz should our center to match-up against he bigger, bulkier, stronger centers in the league? And that TT should only be playing center against the more athletic centers in the league?

At this point Mosgov is borderline useless.

What Drummond lacks in free throw shooting, Mosgov makes up in horrible ball handling.

Also, mosgov is weak bro. Come on.

I know, Swish. That's pretty much my point. TT is having to play against centers because Moz is sucking so bad.

Drummond led the league in rebounding. Whiteside was 3rd. Those guys put up huge numbers on everyone. They are a little too big for TT. And again, he is really a 4 who has the ability to play center against the more agile centers in the league.

I just don't think it's fair to dog him when he is being forced to play against centers that are that big and strong.

Freaking Moz is the guy I don't get. How did he get so bad?

I really wish I had an answer to that. It seems like last year, all I did was pimp Mozgov. This year I'm hoping his PT is cut down to almost nothing.

My understanding is his right knee has been good, so what's gotten into him if not injury related?

Warriors might have a serious problem. Clippers are not a team to be taken lightly.

Clippers need to end Portland ASAP.

It's a grade 1 (Woj).

Beat the Rockets, get rest.

They're just crafting a really good Gatorade commercial is all..

Naturally. If he played for the Cavs, he'd have a torn MCL, ACL and PCL. And probably get staph infection from the surgery.

The injury is already very Cleveland. The only reason he got hurt is because a really sweaty guy fell on the floor.

Well, as a fan of basketball, I hope Curry doesn't miss a lot of time. I like watching the best players play.

You forgot a concussion

My problem with this is saying TT should be a 4, that would indicate he can provide offense as well. We have Love/Frye at the 4, both are much better than TT..for 82 million dollars, you really should be able to contribute on both ends. We are forced to play him at the 5 due to Mosgov falling off the earth and trading away Andy, who i think could have helped in the playoffs..Now you're left with a 4/5 tweener that can't really play either one effectively. I think against golden state/SA TT will be just fine. They don't have a dominant big. But Miami matches up well to us. That's the only team in east i'm concerned about. I think TT will be a big contributor against boston/toronto

I agree. I want a rematch of last year's finals. This time both teams at full strength.

Yeah...........if Kyrie plays team ball and Love doesn't wilt under the pressure and LeBron doesn't go all ISO on us.............this team could very easily win the championship.

Lot's of ifs, but they are seemingly coming together at the right time.

Not sure that it's really so much that they are coming together so to speak, as much as it is that they finally have motivation to play truly meaningful games.

The NBA regular season, for the Cavs, is damn near akin to an 82 game preseason schedule where you experiment and fine tune.

I'm not going to enjoy a championship any less if Curry doesn't play. I didn't see the Warriors feel bad about beating us without Love and Kyrie last year.

Pretty much my feelings as well. You have to play against the players that are on the floor.

But, the Cav's have some games to play first.

That's how I feel about it. I'll take a championship any way I can take it. If Golden State loses without Curry, I'll personally send their fans a box of sucksdonuts.

Y'all are giving off bad karma.

No we're not. We had to suffer injuries last year. This year they have the injuries. It balances things. The karma of what goes around comes around.

I'll enjoy this title.

You don't think warriors fan enjoy the title?

I don't care who plays or doesn't. I want a title. Injuries happen, and they don't halt the season because of it.
