Papa Butts

quote: The Cavs lost to the Bobcats twice, and there is no indiction that Cavs defeat the Bobcats in the playoffs. But the regular season is no indication of a defeat for the Cavs in the playoffs either. We have seen plenty of teams destroyed in the season, only to sweep that same team during the playoffs.

This is why Otiz needs to make a move before the deadline.

We'll see what happens, they may beat us twice at most in 7 game series, and we all need to watch out for Atlanta, they can be dangerous, Boston knows how dangerous. You played Charlotte when you were fully healthy, so I dont understand where this comment is coming from. And no, the Magic do not have to watch out for Atlanta because we have blown them out every game thus far. The Cavs need not worry about ATL either. Boston? Yeah, they need to worry.

quote: Sometimes you have to look at it from the other team's/fan's perspective. You don't think it sounds ridiculous for someone to suggest a team like the Bobcats could beat a team like the cavs? This is irrelevent. It is very ridiculous to suggest that a team we beat 3-1 in the season will give us problems. It is not very ridiculous to suggest that a team that has beat you guys twice so far will give you problems. Miami has beaten us twice thus far (just like the Bobcats have done to you), and all of us over here admit that they will give us problems. The difference is, you guys are delusional about it and we are not. Get my drift? I actually hope that CLE down-plays us again, just like last season. It will be a sweet victory.

quote: Originally posted by Willis32b:I'd be more concerned about that Bynum for Bosh rumor. If that ever came out I'd bomb LA entirely. The record of getting amazing for nothing would be insane. Chris Paul should be knocking on our doorstep that day with us giving NO an extravagant fruit basket. Looks like everyone else is trying to get better except for us (like moving Carter, but Otis seems to not like this idea). Sigh.

quote: I don't count that last game, if that makes me a ignorant homer, fine. No stretch four at all, not even Anderson. The Cavs didn't play the real Magic yet this season. I completely agree with you; I was merely referencing that game in order to show how the absence of Howard can really affect things.

quote: Couldn't you say the same for Jamison and Butler? If they were so good the Wizards wouldn't suck. You got that right. That is definitely not a good argument to make. Whether you like it or not, Iggy to the Cavs would be disastrous for us. You say we can guard the paint, but that's just another player that can get fouls on Howard every time he drives in. There goes our center. And we saw what happened last time Dwight was in foul trouble against the Cavs: they trounced on us.

quote: If the Sixers GM gave up Iggy for that he should be more than fired, he should be shot, which could very well happen in a city like Philly. If I was the GM I'm not pulling that trigger unless I get two out of those three. Especially to a rival in the same conference.

This would suck. Hard.

Yes, but there's still a loooooooong way till the playoffs. We could easily move into the 3rd and 4th position if we are not careful.

quote: And surprise, surprise the All-Star Break rolls around and all of a sudden we look like the best team in the East. No, I think our record is accurate right now (as #2). Currently, Cleveland is playing as the best team in the East. Lebron is playing like a maniac but we will see how long that lasts. It will be interesting to see how they match up against us since last time we were missing Rashard and Ryan.
