2015 Playoffs: (2) Cleveland vs. (7) Boston

[Andrew]

Cavs are more likely to sweep than the Bulls. I still think Milwaukee is going to take at least one game from them.

[Andrew]

Jeez.

[zz21]

It's true.

[zz21]

Perk you God you.

JR Smith might take some time off. NBA is very strict when it comes to head injuries fouls

[[Q]]

Perk you God you.

He's always been a dirty player as a "fake tough guy" and learned a lot of tricks and dirty moves from KG.

[Andrew]

The sweep is complete, though that's a tough blow to lose Love like that. Love is claiming that it was intentional.

He might have a point.

It's true.

I think he can make a career of being a quality rotation player in Boston or elsewhere, which is significant in its own right. He was pretty solid in 22 minutes a game for the Celtics this year.

Made LeBron scared.

Nothing will be known for sure until MRI but word within Cavs team tonight is Kevin Love likely out a minimum of 2 weeks.

One less problem for the Bulls' frontline to worry also will there be a suspension for JR Smith?

[Andrew]

It wouldn't surprise me if so.

[bowdown]

Jr smith is a piece of shit.

[NovU]

Reminds me of Heat when Bosh went down.

Too bad the Cavs aren't winning it this year. The Bulls got them by the balls. They have better players literally from a to z match up outside of LBJ.

If Blatt is watching the bucks Bulls, he'll just put James or some buster like mike miller at pf to guard Noah

Cavaliers move on without Love, out with dislocated shoulder

The Cavaliers will move forward in the NBA playoffs without Kevin Love and with their title hopes shaken.

Cleveland's starting forward has been ruled out for the team's next playoff series - and perhaps longer - after dislocating his left shoulder in Sunday's win to sweep the Boston Celtics.

The Cavs also will begin their Eastern Conference semifinal series without starting guard J.R. Smith, suspended for two games without pay after committing a flagrant 2 foul, prompting his ejection from Game 4 on Sunday. Smith swung backward with a clenched fist and smacked Boston's Jae Crowder in the jaw, dropping the Celtics guard, who sprained a ligament in his left knee.

The league also suspended Olynyk for his move on Love, which looked more like an MMA hold than an NBA box-out. Olynyk will have to sit out the first 2015-16 regular-season game he is able to play.

No surprises there.

And...... There's the JR Smith I remember!

It's a good job Cleveland doesn't have many clubs or JR'S head would be long gone!

[NovU]

I told you. LeBron fucked up going back to the Cavs. Imagine BIG 4 of Whiteside/LBJ/Wade/Dragic in Miami.

[I Hate Mondays]

I don't think they'd have the money to keep both dragic and lebron

[Stress Fracture]

Heck, Miami won't be able to acquire Dragic had Lebron stayed.

[Andrew]

The news gets worse for Kevin Love: Cavs' Love likely done for season with shoulder injury

[Kevin]

Too bad for him. So the curse really is true for Love? He still hasn't played in the 2nd round, right?

[Andrew]

This is his first time in the Playoffs, so yes.

As far as there being a curse...he's been on lousy to mediocre teams in the more competitive conference his entire career. Nothing really mysterious or spooky about that.

[Alpha_]

Tough luck.

[NovU]

Heck, Miami won't be able to acquire Dragic had Lebron stayed.

You guys realize the Heat were eyeing Kyle Lowry during offseason, right? Not necessarily Dragic but BIG 4 was on the way until LBJ fucked it up. Possibly BIG 5 with healthy Bosh. Just imagine Dragic/Wade/LBJ/Bosh/Hassan. Oh boi. Do you not get an erection?
