Series Thread: 1) Toronto Raptors vs 4) Cleveland Cavs

This why you need to win a game when Lebron goes 12-30.....

 

[bksballer89]

This was allegedly the 5th best defense in the league

I actually kinda feel bad for @raptorlife4. He's a solid fan, really excited by the regular season, finally sees a weakened Cavs and Celtics and thinks 'this is our year'. And then this.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Game.

Sad thing is, Lebron's not having the best of games tonight either.

Again, you have two options when guarding Lebron:

1) Guard one-on-one and force him into isolation; stay on shooters. He'll get 40+, but he'll tire out a bit. But his teammates will be out of rhythm.

2) Rotate in on Lebron and leave perimeter players open. Lebron then has options.

Toronto went with option 2. Indy went with 1.

He needs 3 rebounds to get another triple double.

Cleveland are going to destroy them in games 3 and 4. This is a defeated team.

All little confidence they had of beating Cleveland went out the window when they couldn't beat Cleveland at the end of the season when the Cavs had like 5 important players missing

 

[DJ Fieri]

Damn, I didn't know he spends 7 figures on keeping his body in good shape....

I don't. He was too homer-ish for me.

When your team chokes every single year in the playoffs. You have to start hoping for a change. Never get boisterous because your team has the best record in your conference. Because every team starts off 0-0 once the playoffs roll through.

Even @DorianRo is watching this series going 'man that Lebron is really good'

 

[Inimical]

No timeouts, no adjustments. Tyron lue actually is out coaching Casey, which isnt saying much. The way he is utilizing Love and TT. Casey, thought giving up 4 inches and 30lbs 7 feet away from the basket was acceptable.

Come on though, we're fans, we're supposed to rep our guys and trash the other guys. You spin your team's chances as positively as you can, he wasn't being totally unreasonable. Toronto was the best they've been in a while, and the Cavs and Celtics vulnerable. Don't act like you weren't wondering how it would go.

meh, we've had worse here imo...

 

[msgkings322]

Coming back down 11 in a whole quarter at home is not out of the question either...

I did, and i can't stand the guy...

 

[tlance]

You can blame Dwayne Casey for this Q Tor fans.

Yeah. Leaving Miles on Love as long as he did was plain stupid. Was obvious after 1 possession it wasn't going to work.

We all tried to warn him

 

[DJ Fieri]

Unfucking real.

Series is over and it's only game 2. LOL
