We're well on our way to one of those two.

 

The Raptors will have to play amazing and the Cavs have to play badly for the Raptors to win this series. It just won't happen. The talent difference between the two teams is huge, despite the regular season records being close.

That talent difference is all due to lebron but yes, it is huge.

Carroll needs to go away

[jays_fever]

So does JV

[Abomination]

Powell is +7, Joseph +4, Tucker 0.

JV is -19, DeRozan is -22.

[jays_fever]

Pj tucker is better than Carroll in every aspect of the game..but gotta give Carroll his obligatory 15 minutes a game because reasons

[jays_fever]

lol f***ing DeRozan..his effort on defense is just tops

[Laika]

Funny how Casey was talking about "matching Cleveland's energy in the first quarter" and then he didn't even play Powell until like 30 seconds left

I loved the different looks that last unit was throwing at them. Obviously it was garbage minutes, but that's the energy and approach we need to take imo.

Didn't even bother watching after the 1st quarter. He can talk about about matching energy all he wants, they can't match the talent and that's all that matters.

giveaways, missing wide open shots and no defense... otherwise the raps played well. lol

 

Powell got them through the last series after Casey finally let him play and gets treated like a leper today. Patterson was a sack of poo as he is most days and Carol was a no show as well.

 

 

would be nice to say it can't get worse but I think it could.

 

good thing the jays are starting to play better

It's pretty simple.

 

Their top 3 are better than the Raps top 3 and it's even particularly close. Raps might win 1 or 2 games if they play their best basketball ever and the Cavs go cold for a night.

 

Casey is also a slave to Carroll and Patterson, when he should be running with Tucker and Powell.

[dineke]

jv guarding frye is suicide. gg

[Orgfiller]

Exact same start as last time. They're just overmatched.

[jays_fever]

No one is guarding out there and arguably our best perimeter defender Wright just sits

[Orgfiller]

Someone needs to tackle Channing Frye.

[jays_fever]

At least JV showed up

[dineke]

pacers were more competitive than this lol

[dineke]

derozan is shook lmao

[John_Havok]

derozan is shook lmao

 

Derozan is a chump

[Abomination]

Oh great, that's the last thing we need is a Lowry injury.

[Horses Fart]

No f***in odds I says.

[Spanky__99]

So many fans in here?

[jaysblue]

If anyone wants tickets to Friday's night game let me know. Will let go at my STH price which is $350 for the pair. Send me a PM.

[Orgfiller]

Just give the ball to JV on offense every time.

[Orgfiller]

Powell rolls his ankle stepping on LeBron. This sweep is looking more and more like a reality.

[Orgfiller]

Ibaka needs to step taking jumpers. He's killing us.

[Abomination]

WTF? That shouldn't have been a foul at all

[Orgfiller]

WTF? That shouldn't have been a foul at all

 

They clearly called that because LeBron complained to the ref. Bogus call.

[Orgfiller]

Well, you're not going to win a lot of basketball games when you don't make your 3s and the other team does.
