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

[trojanfan12]

I'm ok with single covering him but you can't allow other guys to go off in that case.

Love shouldn't have 30+ on the same night Lebron goes for 40+

I agree. But I think that's why you have to give him different looks and force the ball out of his hands.

Last night, he just kept holding on to the ball until someone, usually Love, managed to get open or he'd work himself into a shot. Even though several of them were difficult shots, he was in a rhythm already, so he was hitting them.

It was like playing the Patriots and not getting any pressure on Brady. He's just going to pick you apart.

Only thing I've ever heard a frenchmen say is "surrender"

Speaking of France did you know the bestest college football coach evers Jimmy Jam Harbaugh took his boyz there recently? And seeing as how the meeeechegan pigskin program are a bunch of cream puffs & pastries are so popular in France it was a perfect destination for those assholes in ann arbor.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

I was shocked what the Cavs did last night.

 

[Wamu]

Okay this is just a crazy stat. I'm watching First Things First right now & they're talking about all the times in NBA history that a player has had 40+ pts, 8+ rebs & 11+ asts in a playoff game.

-The Logo once ('69)
-Clyde the Glide once ('92)
-Westbrook once ('17)

-LeBron 4 times ('15, '16, '17 & last night)

I was shocked what the Cavs did last night.

Well I won't say I was shocked. I mean with the Raps playing like scared lil kids it should've been pretty easy for the Cavs to take over. Had the Cavs gotten behind in this series it would really raise even more questions about that team.

I just expected a little more from the Raptors given the importance of that game.

Oh without a doubt! I think Casey also needs to do better. He needs to be able to manage his team better & recognize when he needs to call time out to regroup.

Before the series started I thought the Raptors would take care of business in 6. They have to bring their A game tomorrow or this series could turn out to be a very surprising sweep.

And Casey. Yeah he needs to do a much better job of in-game adjustments.

What's fading faster?

A. LeBron's hair
B. Toronto's chances of winning this series

As a payback for what the Canadian customs officials did to the Cavs for game 3 in '16 the Raptors should be detained on their own plane for a couple of hours once they arrive in Cleveland. Still can't believe that silly shit actually happened.

the buss to the arena should get "lost" in East Cleveland where the Heartless Felons gang hangs out...

 

[DJ Fieri]

I don't expect them to quit and of course there's the chance that the Cavs will get fat and happy from the 2 wins in Toronto.

But if they don't adjust their strategy, I'll be surprised if they win another game.

True. They need to try and defend James like Indiana did.

That's their best option.

E. Cleveland? Oh man are you brutal. That's 1 rough place.

did the Raptors trade for Oladipo or Stephenson?

Its one of the things you just did not understand about the previous series. Look around the ENTIRE NBA---- there might not be another team with 2 defenders that could keep LeBron at least a little honest and let their teammates stay at home in the entire NBA.

LeBron obviously had a great series against the Pacers but he didnt play how he likes to play. Hed much rather have a ton of assists like last night then constantly having to put his head down, go to the hoop, use a ton of energy and get beat up phyiscally like the Pacers did.

That defense of the Raptors you thought was so good.....what happened?

Can you at least acknowledge now that the Pacers individual defenders matchup just somuch better against the Cavs then the Raptors? If 128 points cant convince you- i dont know what will.

 

[WiggyRuss]

E. Cleveland? Oh man are you brutal. That's 1 rough place.

seriously.....the gang there is honestly named "The Heartless Felons".....its effed up.

 

[DJ Fieri]

34.4ppg, 10rpg, and 9.0apg

55%, 31%, and 75%.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Serge Ibaka avg 6 PPG since going off for 23/12 in game 1 vs the Wizards.

I actually forgot the baby Dinosaurs had him
