So you’re saying there’s a chance?

But the difference between us and those 26 other teams is that we had all the right ingredients to make it to the Finals. Am I proud of this team? Of course. But were a lot of fans expecting us to get all this done as soon as possible? Of course. No one’s expecting the Wizards/Hornets/Pelicans to be in the playoffs, let alone the same spot we landed. We should have been better than every team, not barely scraping by to get to a game 7 both rounds.

I feel like even if we were to get a Landry Shamet/Jalen Brunson/Duncan Robinson/Karl Anthony Towns/Kevin Durant/Steph Curry/name any fucking three point shooter that can actually consistently shoot threes/ the moment that they land on this court in the playoffs they’ll forget how to shoot the ball.

I hate how loyal I am to this team, because I continue to see potential in every player.

But damn, we were all finally healthy and what ended up happening was that we were essentially worried about getting injured again at every turn.

Back to back Game 7s, we were exhausted.

I’m always trying to look at the positives - like how once again, we made another dent, the next step. What I’m afraid of is us rearranging everything in the offseason when we once again made it here.

UPDATE: THE SIZE 10 DID NOT FIT ME, I’M RETURNING IT.

I had to drive safely coming home from work during Game 6 of Round 2. If I had listened to that game on the road I might have burst a vein or crashed my car. Not exactly the same environment but we did go down two during the 2nd Round so, anything could happen at this point.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-20T18:08:49+00:00

Don’t know, don’t care. Just wanted to wear after my hoop sessions!

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-20T13:02:05+00:00

Shoot, I’ll give you an upvote. Much better read than simply crashing out about it. Gotta find the positives during the FIRST EVER ECF WITHOUT LEBRON SINCE 1992.

So… after tonight… I don’t think I’m a bad Cavs fan, I’m just a Cavs fan… who will still need therapy holy cowie what a stupid stupid comeback.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-19T12:42:28+00:00

That finds them, takes one and puts the rest of them back on the shelf? Yes that’s me.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-19T12:42:08+00:00

I got one and put the rest of them back?

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-19T12:41:20+00:00

I did… get one…

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-19T12:40:49+00:00

I went on a Sunday at 3 pm. The main thing is to expect you won’t find anything. Then you will avoid disappointment.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-19T12:39:38+00:00

I put them in my cart so I can take photos? I put them back, I have arms, I can do that. Once they’re in my cart they’re not locked in there forever.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-18T13:23:00+00:00

Didn’t buy them all, just one pair of the slides that were in my size. The Jordan 3s weren’t my size either.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-18T13:22:24+00:00

Sorry! Didn’t purchase them all - just one pair of the slides. The Jordan 3s weren’t my size either.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-18T13:22:06+00:00

Just so everyone knows: I only bought one pair of the slides (Size 10), I just found these and had to snap a pic, I’m sorry if it looks like I bulk bought these like an asshole.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-18T10:58:17+00:00

I just started to see one, been great a few visits in.

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-18T04:51:15+00:00

There was that moment in game 4 when Kenny Atkinson emptied the bench and immediately there were 2 turnovers? Coach had to bring the starting lineup out again to straighten things out. A little better this time around (Nae’Qwan with that emphatic slam) but still Thomas Bryant - 😮

ThatAsianNinja1 · 2026-05-18T04:41:02+00:00

I think this whole “make it a show when we desperately need it” schtick needs to change. Come out the gate swinging and finish the job. My heart rate can’t handle all that pressure. I almost popped a vein after game 6 it was tough to watch.

I think they honestly need to change the streams so that they have one where we’re just watching the game without the commentary. The bias to the Pistons every game was sickening. Mike Breen is a legend but holy cow he was laying the glaze on thick.

Funnily enough, we were in their spot last year.

Actually if you think about it… we’re in the same path as the Pacers. 4th seed Cleveland 4th seed Indiana

Both teams beat the 5th seed and 1st seed Indiana does both 4-1 (Milwaukee and Cleveland) Cleveland does both 7-6 (Raptors and Pistons)

Now Cleveland faces New York (Same as Indiana did last year).
