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

[DJ Fieri]

Korver won a game for them in that series.
When he’s zoned in, you cannot let him catch and shoot.
He’s as deadly as anyone.
TNT broke down the Toronto D at halftime.
It makes no sense.
It can’t work.
Coach will be fired.

Yeah, that's right. It was James and Korver and nobody else.

Really none of this matters though. Whoever comes out of the East (be it the Cavs or Celtics) are going to get SMOKED In the finals by the Warriors.

This is just waiting for the inevitable to happen. All this is is just competing for 2nd place this year

 

[DJ Fieri]

I think TT lost his balls again. 7 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.

How much is he getting paid again?

I know the Cavs had odds of about 1% less to win it all but I forgot the odds to win the East were. I know they were also pretty low. Nobody in their right mind had them sweeping the baby Dinos though. Lebron is just that great.

Dude, the refs and probably the league office wants this sham of a series to end as much as the rest of us.

Seriously, who was the worst #1 seed...this year's Barney's or last year's Celtics?

I'm going with O Canada.

I could look it up but I don't wanna. When was the last time neither Finals team was a #1 seed from their conference? Probably a 2 and a 4 this year.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This is really bad.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Good reason for it too. They were cold as fuck vs Indiana. James had to carry them to a win in that series.

well the "good reason" for it is like i said--- the Pacers have defenders like Oladipo, Stephenson and Joseph.......the Pacers have big men like Turner and Thad Young that can guard Love both on the perimeter and in the post.

Pacers were just a much better matchup. I tried to tell you this. Toronto is a bad bad matchup vs. the Cavs....As i said- Lowry 6 footer, DeRozan really doesnt play much D, VanVleet- 6 footer.....Valunciunas and Poeltl too slow to guard Love on the perimeter. I kinda thought it was fairly obvious.

 

[Heatles84]

Have no idea how Casey keeps his job.

Outside of game 1,when did they compete in the other 3 games?

First half of game 2 and 4th quarter of game 3?

It's why I'm not writing off the Cavs' struggles that the Pacers presented.

For as well coached as the Pacers are, they vastly overachieved.

I'm curious as to how they perform against the Celtics.

But Toronto can't do anything right this series. Everything is off to this team on both sides of the ball.

about the same as Luol Deng.

 

[msgkings322]

This is really expected.

FIFY

 

[Black Adam]

This is really bad.

nothing more to see here. time for a movie...

 

[Shanemansj13]

That went over the backboard, I think lol

You also said the Kings greatness is smarter than Vegas.
You claim Love is a top 20-25 player.
Yet, you are too scared to bet fake money on them to even force a game 7.

Who could even make this shit up?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Nobody has ever put on bigger show in a single playoff series in NBA history.

Toronto is letting us see probably the BEST basketball player in history playing at his best.

I am happy to have gotten to watch this as a fan of sports.

hey can you get a life man.

Im watching my Cavs sweep the #1 seed on the CAvs home floor. Im watching the Cavs role players that you said sucked dominate. Give it up man. Embrace the hate! lol.....

man what a stupid bet...lol.

 

[Heatles84]

@raptorlife4 safe to say the series is over yet or nah?

no doubt about it.

LeBron is doing stuff that is just insane--- i mean both in this series and the Pacers series.

But you are right- this series in particular we have seen things that have not been since since Michael was in his prime.

 

[DJ Fieri]

about the same as Luol Deng.

Here's the thing with that.....the Deng signing was a poor move by previous management and no Laker fan has defended that in a while.

You go balls to the wall to defend the TT contract. And you know it.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Damn he got ejected LMAO

 

[WiggyRuss]

DeRozan has to be dejected...walking down the hallway with your team about to get swept....kicked out of the game for a flagrant two a game after getting benched in the 4th qtr.

That is about as bad as it gets for a guy. Almost feel sorry for him.

Such high hopes- quite a few people picking the Raptors- Vegas makes them favorites for some reason I cant comprehend---- and then you get swept, benched and thrown out. Yikes.
