No defensive rotation or communication. That scrub coach needs to hit the road

DeRozan needs to head to OKC with Westbrook or SA and begin building some role playing centerpieces around them. Toronto is another cesspool of mediocrity.

Lowry is too much of a wuss to even make it a go in an elimination game. Pretty sad Toronto is gonna get swept. They should have been good for 1 win at least

I dont know how you don't make any adjustments to a team that takes 3's all game the WHOLE fucking series . Mind Boggling. Especially when Raptors should have the advantage all day inside.

I would take the 3 ball away and make Cleveland beat you from the inside slashing. . You still got two Bigs in Valen, and Ibaka down low. Cavs will hurt far worse from outside than they will inside because they have more outside shooters than they do slashers/pentrators.

Clog the 3 line, deny the guys the ball, rotate defensively, you get beat? You got the 2 biggest guys on the court in the inside.

Doesn't work like that.

Cleveland had 4 or 5 shooters on the court at all times. When they help on dribble drives, a shooter gets left open. The answer is to stay home on shooters and provide less help, but in order to do that, your perimeter defenders can't give up straight line drives. Toronto has not been able to take those away, so they end up over helping and giving up 3s.

Raptors deserve to be swept. This has been the WORST defensive rotation from any team I've ever seen. You aren't going anywhere with that lack of defense and communication.

All the while, Cavs let them back in the game. Its stuff like that that reinforces how bad they're gonna get SMOKED by the warriors

Cavs look really lackadaisical. But im sure they will step it up next Quarter.

At least the Raptors are sparring the world from watching another one of their games. They're just a BAD team. And I don't get all that praise their coach gets either. They play no defense at all.

Series over, time for a much needed rest after a long hard fought series.

anyone want to admit they were wrong for blowing up the Cavs troubles in March and April? Anyone? Admit that they were HUGELY over considering the regular season?

8-0.
