Series Thread: 2nd Round: Cleveland Cavs vs Toronto Raptors

[bksballer89]

Seriously. Why did everyone think the Raptors got better all of a sudden? I don't even feel confident about Cavs in 5 anymore. Shit's looking like the brooms are a comin'.

We will see. I try not to jump to conclusions when all a team did was hold serve at home. Last year Cleveland probably looked better in games 1 and 2 vs Toronto then went on to lose both games in Toronto

Cavs lucky Lowry got hurt.

What's that white foam shit on the back of LeBrons head?

Stopping giving up so many open non-contested 3s you fucking IDIOTS. You know their game already. You know what they bread and butter is. Study some film for fuck sakes.

so whats the alternative? single cover lebron and kyrie?

I think so. Love and everyone else going off from 3 hurts them worse.

Eveytime Lebron does that stutter step you know he's gonna shoot the 3. Why give it to him to easy ? Or mindlessly foul him and BAIL him out? Hes not that hard to defend. Even Jordan has noted this.

When people mention the amount of playoff games MJ played in comparison to Lebron they forget to mention the fact MJ was avery high volume shooter, he attempted 5 more FGA's a game. That's a big difference over almost 200 games

He's not that hard to defend??? Wow lol Cant believe you just said that. Nobody in the world can stop him but he isnt hard to stop. Idiot lol

There is no answer, but at least give some different looks.
Cavs will win regardless, but Raptors are making it easier then it should be.

All that being said, if teams are shooting like the Cavs are tonight, or like Rockets did on Monday, you're just fucked.

Oh he can be stopped. By a quality defender who knows his shit. Or at least contained. Pippen would shut his assdown QUICK. Leonard gives him nightmares too

It's not like Jordan was terribly inefficient. He had nearly a 49% FG% in the playoffs.

Pippen would've slowed Lebron down, he wouldn't have shut him down. I hate Lebron as much as anyone else on here, but I'm realistic.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Great ball movement tonight

 

[DorianRo]

Oh another wide open 3. Raptors caught with their fingers up their ass again

Wake me up when QUALITY west basketball starts.

Ohh no doubt he was actually pretty efficient. Just saying when you see the amount of games it doesnt say everything. Lebron is more efficient but MJ was a high volume shooter. Lebron hasnt been since his early days in Cleveland

 

[Shanemansj13]

That was as clean as you can get lol

 

[DorianRo]

So we have had almost 3 quarters of ball and DeCRap Derozan has NO field goal make yet?

LeBron's #s against Kawhi when guarded by him in both finals were amazing.

Wow.. The Raptors make the Pacers look like a quality team. Opposition should get tougher as the round go in the playoffs. Not WORSE
