Two points for the Raptors so far this quarter.

I totally agree with JVG. It's about one on one defense. Toronto perimeter defenders is having trouble staying in front of your man. No way should Jefferson ever just run by DeRozan

 

[purguy12]

maybe not. I forgot they can't score.

 

[Demonjoe93]

I wasn't expecting the Raptors to win this series, but I wasn't expecting this bad of a game.

 

[bksballer89]

Toronto pick and roll defense has been pretty bad also

 

[bksballer89]

One thing I'll give Toronto credit for is they're doing a good job of defending the 3

I am so fucking bored.

This is a horrible matchup.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Raptors scoring again.

They can't go big.

They can't go small.

They can't outshoot Cleveland either.

They only options they have is to slow the game down defensively......try to make this a halfcourt game and hope your stars hit shots.

 

[bksballer89]

They need to find a way to get this down to 10-12 points by halftime.

Seems like there's a lot of miscommunication on defense for Toronto whenever Cleveland sets a screen

 

[CodeBreaker]

Is the East this bad? Or Cavs are really good?

 

[Demonjoe93]

All of a sudden, the Raptors have a pulse again.

 

[bksballer89]

DeRozan showed up....the rest of the team is still in Toronto

 

[bksballer89]

Got it down to 12. Let's see how they close out this quarter. Need to outscore Cleveland over the final 3 minutes or at worse remain even

Eerily similar to OKC vs. Warriors.

 

[podsox]

This gm is a complete mismatch. These phantom fouls are only making it worse

 

[Heatles84]

Is the East this bad? Or Cavs are really good?

A bit of both.

 

[CodeBreaker]

mofo KYRIE that move!

 

[bksballer89]

What a terrible game compared to last night

Are we watching the same game???

NOTHING similar

Toronto has NO CHANCE here. None. Stop being scared.
