How about let these kids play in their first playoff series

Same can be said for Clarkson, Nance & Hood (limited playoff experience where the others have none). All three will be key contributors in the playoffs and even Nance said he "doesn't know how it's going to go" when asked about his first playoff experience.

Not even close to the same argument. 

1. You have the best player in the world with plenty of playoff experience.

2. You still have guys on the roster who have been to 3 finals.

3. You have other guys on the roster who have been battle tested in the playoffs.

4. Lebron's first year back he took a hobbled cavs roster with 0 to very limited playoff experience a couple games from winning it all.  That team had less playoff experience than this current team.

Come on.  You're comparing a Lebron led team to a team led by two 21 year olds with 0 playoff experience and a roster with limited playoff experience. 

Don't bet against Lebron until he proves otherwise.  How many years has it been since the Celtics series?  

Cavs in a sweep over the Pacers

Some posters on RCF are legitimately concerned about the Pacers.  I could be wrong, but I just don't see it.  If we have to worry about the Pacers, then BR you can start sizing me up for that avatar. 

Also, I take back my comment on how Lue is low key a solid playoff coach.  He set his 10 man rotation and Cedi isn't in it.  Why?

LOL, no....the Cavs will get past the Pacers. Like I said before, I do think they will get to the ECF but it's not going to be as easy as year's past. They will lose some games along the way.

I agree with that.  We have been spoiled with a lot of sweeps.  I just disagree that the sixers would be a coin flip series.

Hey, I know that LBJ is still the greatest player on the planet until proven otherwise. I just don't trust his supporting cast as much as I have the past few years. At some point, the guys with him are going to let him down and he's not going to be able to bail their asses out.

Random, but I just realized that George Hill makes 20 mil a year (unless it was a misprint)....lmao Holy Shit!

He's had a couple of good games for them but, other than that, he's been pretty bad.

Can someone explain to me this... why can't Lue use more than a 10 man rotation?  What are the rules?

Most teams shorten their rotations in the playoffs. I just don't get why Lue doesn't believe Cedi is ready.  That's the best I can think of.  Explaining why Lue does/doesn't do this or that is impossible. 

Cavs in 3.

Very very stupid. Who are the other 9 players outside of LBJ?

I never saw this, but I’d guess:

1. LeBron
2. Love
3. Hill
4. Hood
5. Nance
6. Calderon
7. Tristan
8. Korver
9. Clarkson
10. Green

Cedi plays solid defense and has size. I don’t know what my rotations would be, since Green has been really good recently, but he would be in my top 10.

TT can sit his ass down, play Cedi or Zizic over him.

Do they not pay the guys they don't put on the rotation, then?  I just don't get it, I guess.  Why not put as many people as possible on your roster?

There are roster limits.

OK, I guess that answers my first question better, I supposed.  So every team in the NBA has to have a 10 man rotation for playoffs, then?

I think you’re trying to interchange the words rotation and roster.

What's the point of announcing a "rotation" if your roster can be larger that said "rotation?"  I'm playing incredible dumb card on this one.

Prob wouldn’t worry about it 

In all honesty, it’s gonna be an 8-9 man rotation rounds 1/2. 8 man round 3. And if lucky enough to advance to all these rounds, a 7 man in the finals lol.

Lets fucking GO Cavs!
