Toronto was tied for 4th in 3 point fg% in the regular season. Cleveland was 7th.

Unlike some of you I don't make garbage up

u gotta know fools gold when u see it

how much did u see Scola play in that series? how many 3's did u see Corey Joseph hit? LOL

Scola SUCKS and doesnt play and was a 40% shooter on 3's i nthe regular season- because thats all he did--- he sucks and doesnt play....but ya know.....when you suck enough not to make the post season rotation...DESPITE INJURIES...lol...

Norman Powell?- DOEST PLAY IN THE POST SEASON because rotations get shortened up and he sucks---- shot 40% on 3 in the REGULAR SEASON...but- ya know- when you suck enough not to make the post season rotation....DESPITE iNJURIES...lol...

Terrance Ross....he actually DOES Play now and then- but cant hit the broad side of a barn right now....


other than that- they have 1 decent 3 pt shooter that ACTUALLY plays--- Kyle Lowry....

82 games is a larger sample size than 8 games

The regular season is over though & through the 1st two rounds of the Playoffs nobody is shooting it better from downtown than the Cavs...

G.S.- (10 games): 12.2 outta 30.0 (40.7%)
OKC- (11 games): 8.5 outta 25.2 (33.9%)
Toronto- (14 games): 6.6 outta 21.9 (30.3%)
Cleveland- (8 games): 16.8 outta 36.3 (46.2%)

This proves you clearly doesn't watch anything outside of Cleveland games. Powell didn't play much in the Miami series due to matchups but he STARTED in several games of the Pacers series and played a huge role in their game 7 win

How about you ?

I have worked at the same firm for just over 2 years now...sounds like they will hire me on full time in a lawyer capacity if and when i pass the bar so thats good... other than that not a whole lot...just was really busy trying to balance school and work- but now that school is done that should help.

just trucking along...

yah your right...13 minutes agame in the post season is big shit....lets get him an award...lol

 

[bksballer89]

If we're talking about the post season only, Toronto defense is across the board better than Cleveland through 2 rounds of playoffs basketball

 

[Wamu]

Whatsa matta u

Hey Mick how are ya? I'm just waiting for game 1 of the WCF. Nice to see ya around.

thats insane.....46%....for the POSTSEASON.....17 a game? lol....

if we make 10 more 3's than the Raptors a game this is gonna be a slaughter.....

 

[bksballer89]

Casey gets a feel of the series and plays who he wants. In the Indy series he played 18 MPG which is good minutes for a role player. If you think 18 MPG, there is not a single Cavs bench player who avgs more than 16 MPG in the playoffs

 

[bksballer89]

Toronto offense should play better in this series. It's the first below average defense they played this post season.

Hey don't get too excited there. As hot as they are right now they could hit a cold spell. Which would hurt them in the Finals but I think they could still beat the Raptors shooting poorly from downtown.

true...the Cavs have played good enough defense, where they can stand a 3 pt drought here or there....

we just matchup so well- especially with the Raptors beat up and playing 2 long series.....this isnt gonna be Goran Dragic covering lowry....hes gonna get a taste of Delly, Shumpert, Irving and i wouldnt even be surprised LEBron at times--- all who much much better defenders than Goran Dragic...

With no valunciunas its gonna be REALLY REALLY hard for the Raptors...they have prettyy much zero rim protection- and the Cavs arent gonna let Biyombo go crazy on the boards and dominate them like Miami did....

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

the Cleveland fan in me REALLY REALLY wants to try and find some reason to be worried for this series...but i just cant.....unless the Cavs are REALLY REALLY rusty and lazy i dont know how this is not a sweep.

DeMar Derozan cant hit water if he fell out of a boat right now....Lowry has sucked ass besides this last 3 games and Goran Dragic covering anyone is gonna help them....JV is out- who could have given the Cavs some issues like Drummond did-

Scola has barely played...he sucks...

this team REALLY REALLY should have traded for a PF.

It's not going to be a sweep.
Not that it means anything, but didn't they beat you 2 of 3?
If we see the all star guard combo playing at a high level, you're in for a fight.

And Goran isn't even a good defender, but statistically he's better then Kyrie.

Excellent. Just waiting for it to finally warm up so I can start hiking & hopefully some camping.
