Are The Cavs Up For 2?

This years NBA race for the playoffs has been one for the books. Players and Coaches alike, league wide have prepared all season for what now looks like to be another exciting playoff bout,especially for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Im looking to analyze and break down some key components of success to such a dominating season ranking no.1 seed early coming into the playoffs.

With the playoffs to begin April 25th, naturally the Cavs should make quick work of the Milwaukee bucks in the first round. With the Starting 5 of Kyrie Irving, Lebron James, Kevin Love, Iman Shumpert and Tristan Thompson the Cavs are just too big for the starting 5 of the Bucks. Starting Malcolm Brogdon, Thon Maker, Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker, and Giannis Antetokonumpo, it may seem all the skill tools would be there for the Bucks with Makers’ length, Parkers’ mobility and scoring, as well as, “The Greek freak” Giannis at the point-forward position. The only thing holding them back is the experience. This will mark the Bucs 6th playoff appearance since the year 2000. While the Cavs are equal in the amount of playoff appearances, they have a better source of veteranism. Already having a ring and more players with All-Star appearances, the Cavs make it seem nearly impossible to pull of a win against LeBron and Kyrie averaging 50 points alone, not to mention the quick shooting work of Kevin Love and Kyle Korver. To make matters even worse, Iman Shumpert, Jr. Smith, and Tristan Thompson making hustle plays on both ends of the court.

In my opinion the Bucks dont score enough to keep up with the Cavs.

With all ods tilting in their favor the Cavs will make a strong stand throughout the playoffs and for many more years to come, this will just yet be another exciting end to another fantastic season of NBA basketball.
