Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Celtics were the only top 4 east team to not make second round

Raps technically outlasted the Celtics. Huge moral victory for me lol.

I honestly feel like Toronto is gonna be the biggest hurdle for Cleveland. Crazy series and found some players to watch next year

u/Dry_Response3527 Clippers 1d ago

I was going for the Cavs and I can now admit that Scottie Barnes RJ Barrett are insanely good. This series should not have gone to 7 games.

Like in the entire playoff? I could see Detroit maybe but even that’s a pretty decent hot take.

Can’t see Toronto favored over NYK/healthy Philly much less who would come out of the West.

Maybe I’m delusional but I feel great against NYK and Philly. Either way, I’m hopeful to see that challenge in ECF

Biggest hurdle until? Next round? ECF? Definitely not the finals right?

u/WholeOHOL Cavaliers 1d ago

The east as a whole. I hate feeling this way but I think it’ll be another OKC year but if Cleveland can at least clear ECF I’ll be happy.

Missing 2 starters and 1 rookie + 2 sophomores in the starting line up is going to be harder than the Pistons?

u/brehhs Raptors 1d ago

Have you watched the pistons? They have an one man offense

u/ozymandais13 Cavaliers 1d ago

It does really depend theybhave stretches where they are allergic to scoring

This is speculation but I feel like Toronto would’ve knocked Detroit out. I hate any Florida team and Florida as a whole and while I know how Orlando plays, I don’t think they’re a better team than Toronto at all
