Kyle Lowry doesn't even play basketball. All he does on every possession is act dramatic so he can draw a foul. No wonder he sucks in the playoffs because the refs don't fall for this garbage in the playoffs.

Miami and Toronto is intense playoff level basketball right now.

Deng just tied it with a 3

97-97 with 3 seconds to go. Raptors ball

 

[bksballer89]

Toronto can't beat Miami in a series unless injuries are a factor. Only reason they won tonight was because Wade did not play. I don't even think Miami need Bosh to beat this team in a series.

Cleveland will wipe the floor with Toronto in a series. Very overrated basketball team

I've been saying this all season long. I don't see Toronto as a viable team that could knock off the Cavs. Shit, I give ATL a better shot then them.

unless your name id Dwayne Wade- and the commissioner has an axe to grind against the Mavericks.

Just realized James is having his worse 3 point shooting season of his career. At 28%.

Had no idea he was that bad.

Bulls out of a playoff spot now. They have an easy looking stretch of games coming up (Brooklyn, Sac, 2 X Knicks). Things getting interesting at the bottom of the East.

Pau needs to leave that shit show.

He's not having any issues against the Clippers .

Cavs are upping that pace, and just rolling right now...it looks like its starting to come together....

Frye sure has stepped up lately ....hes just raining..

They played the Lakers, Kings, and Clippers. You're supposed to roll against the Lakers and Kings

The Clippers win was nice but this is the same Cavs team who were defeated by a Memphis without 4 starters 6 days ago

"We came out and took care of business," James said. "We're getting into form right now. We've got a great rotation going right now. The guys are healthy and we're just trying to play the game the right way."

"Channing coming out and making those threes kind of became contagious," Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. "LeBron set the tone early with his pace, getting rebounds, pushing it. It wasn't all for himself. He got the other guys involved making sho

And when they lose again, Lebron will make comments about them not being ready for the playoffs as he always does

It kind of shows how limited Love has been in the Cavs offense -- that I think Frye fits in better on offensive end (shooting) than Kevin right now. (I think Kevin is better on defense/rebounding)

At some point Love has to step up and play better on offense. (I don't blame all of it on offensive scheme and coaches/other players.)

i thought Love played pretty well- he had a double double in 25 minutes.....with the Cavs various weapons- not only LeBron and Kyrie- but also JR and what not- its gonna be tough for him to average 20 points as long as hes on a great team...

Lets just hope they continue making progress and keep on working on a rotation...id like Mo to get back healthy at some point and try and get some minutes because i think he could be a weapon in the playoffs.

Kyrie in March- 25 points a game on 52% shooting.....damn...

thats after a Feb where he had like 23 pts and 50% shooting...

hes really getting going.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Love is the first guy in NBA history to hit 700 threes and average double digit rebounds.....no one else is even close. Having the best big man in the league to combine shooting and rebounding definitely helps- especially with the spacing he provides.

I like getting Frye for sure- and he deserves a spot in the rotation- but the Cavs will definitely need Kevin Love if they are gonna win the title....Irving is really playing great ball...Jr Smith is playing really good ball, Delly is playing really good ball-

LeBron really looks more healthy than at any time last year....Some of the dunks and plays he has made have been a throw-back to yesteryear....i believe him when he says he feels 10 times better this year than last year because it just looks that way on the court- how he moves- the dunks, the blocks..etc.

Pau needs to leave that shit show.

They probably don't have the pieces to make it work anyway, but OKC should have moved heaven and earth for him at the trade deadline. Gasol is exactly the type of player that team is missing. If they can convince Durant to stay for even just 1 more year, OKC needs to do everything they can to sign Gasol this summer.

Same Mavs that beat the Heat Big 3, season 1?

Exactly.
Within a week you don't go from 'not ready for playoffs', to 'being in form'.

I didn't see any of yesterday's game, but I saw the shooting stats.
Any team that shoots 18/37 from downtown, is more than likely going to win.
Shot making is contagious but so is shot missing.
I personally don't think any team wants to get into a 3 point shooting contest with the Warriors in a 4/7 though.
Pretty sure that wouldn't be Spurs mentality.
