The conspiracy theorist in me says no. LeBron is needed for rating.

Me and it won't be an upset.

ATL is better at every position than the Bulls except Butler. That's the only issue I am struggling with. Carroll is a good defender but Jimmy is a pest. Carroll is slightly taller but longer than Jimmy yet Butler is probably the best Lebron cooler other than Kawhi.

I think Korver can run Shump and Smith ragged. He is just as tall as Dunleavy but with a quicker release and more accurate too.

Millsap can post Thompson but he can also pull him away from the basket.

Same goes for Horford with Moz. Moz can't sit in the paint all day giving help off the PnR or else Horford will pick and pop. If he close out too hard Al can put it on the floor just like Noah but finish.

Can the Cavs defend a true 4 and out team that will even go 5 out when they put in Carlos Boozer's brother from another mother. Also, Antic makes Bargs look like an Nba player.

A real exciting matchup for me to watch is Dellavedova vs Shroeder. That should be fun.

Rooting for Atlanta, but you have to fear the James.

Korver was not so good the first round, if I remember. Either the law of averages balances things out and he is on fire this series, or he's just worn out for the rest of the playoffs.

Should be interesting.

Tristan Thompson could also be a problem

I predict that JR Smith will prove that the triangle can hold back individual player skills.

Not sure of this, but he did prove that the NYC nightlife can diminish player performance.

You can do whatever you want. We understand you were just trying to go against the grain just to get a rooting interest.

Defensively Carroll was a negative on Lebron but switching him onto Smith would be nice to have.

Or that he's the little brother Lebron never had...

Or that Jason Smith is a step down from LeQ...

Or that Cleveland has no discernible night life...

Or that raining threes sure makes people forget your last incident...

Teams have possibly figured out how to limit Korver, which would radically change ATL's prospects. We saw what happened in the last round - he was more or less ineffective. Same deal last night.

I am rooting for ATL, but think LBJ takes the Cavs to the Finals, especially with JR scoring like he did in his SMOTY with Knicks, and Shump playing outstanding D.

I've lost interest in these playoffs- far too many major injuries, it's ridiculous- Warriors are the only team without any. A real shame we haven't been able to see the best at their best.

Yeah, I think guys are more likely to say "eff it" when they have to chase Korver around all night during a regular season game. The intensity level changes during the playoffs. Teams are going to move Korver off the three point line now and Atlanta and he needs to figure out how to make them pay.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick
