Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: 1) Cleveland Cavaliers (57-25) vs. 2) Toronto Raptors (56-26)

[Sportsguy9695]

being a huge James fan I am worried that they are letting this series slip away. Toronto has all the momentum going back to Cleveland.

If the final ends up being Canada vs Oklahoma...I'm gonna laugh.

Just prepping you guise.

I would laugh my balls of if that were to happen.

Damn it. Equally disappointed in the cavs and impressed with the raptors.

Was that Lowry and DeRozan... or Curry and Thompson out there last night?

I just hate that it has come to a 3 game series. Cavs came out with no energy in the first half in game 3 & 4... and now they've put themselves in a situation where every game and every play becomes critical.

The margin for error is gone. Which is a scary thing when you've been playing like shit.

Biyombo > Thompson

Frye>Love

This series reminds me of Heat/Charlotte series.
It's fun to watch the Cavs struggle, but there's no reason (yet) to think they won't win it.

Any word on Love's injury? IF he is out that could change things.

The win for Toronto is nice, but I still don't see them winning this series. I think Cleveland wins this thing in 6 now instead of 4.

Love's ego is battered and bruised.

Agree with Turnup. As much fun as it is to watch the Cavs struggle, all the Raptors have accomplished is protecting their home court. They haven't shown that they can beat the Cavs in Cleveland. Until they do that, all they did was ensure that this series will be at least 6 games.

Love's ego is battered and bruised.

I can see the injury report now:

Love - DNP: sprained ego.

Any superstar that takes over a game when he should with 3 minutes or less in a game > LeBitch James









Peace

This is not true. Where was the Curry take over in game 1?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

How long will lebrons body hold up when he's forced to play 45+ minutes a game?

 

[bksballer89]

Raptors will play much differently than games 1 and 2. If the Miami series was any indication, usually when Lowry gets hot in a series he keep it going for the rest of that series. I don't think they win but I expect a close game with Lowry & DeRozan playing at a high level

@gordontrue let me know if I'm crazy for this.

I think the Cavs should go with Frye over Thompson at the Center position for the rest of the series.

Depends if Raptors start JV, which I would if I were them ( assuming he's healthy).
JV is consistent even on the road.
Biyombo off the bench.

Totally depends on when his period starts.

Smart move by Casey. Likely means Valanciunas will be healthier heading to game 5 than if he played last night

I'm guessing he attempted a shot at least with 3 minutes left in the game while LeBitch didn't want to shoot the ball at all. With 5 minutes left in the game and you go 0-1 that's sad. Think about it. 1 damn shot for a guy like LeBron James. At least try to take over. Plus it's the dam Raptors. I mean seriously. Yes the Cavs will probally win this series but Lue looks lost as well.
