I mean, the Hawks won 60 games last year and they got swept by a Cavs team without Love or Kyrie.

Lebron owns the East, and will for the foreseeable future. No need to bash teams for showing up!

LOL even the Cavs crowd is quiet. You know there's no drama when that happens.

They should give the Raptors Irving and Love for the rest of the game...

No matter how much the Cavs dominate, there can only be so much excitement because in this series things can only go wrong (ie injuries)

92 - 67 is one of those scorelines that look like a team being beaten by 30+ points.

The only way the Raps make anything out of the series is to slow this pace down, to make Lebron a scorer. I'd much prefer Lebron dominating like the first quarter 1-on-1 vs Carroll with no and1's, then slow it down and try and score back on Cleveland.

Somebody in Raps-Heat thread had the idea of just combining those two teams to face the Cavs. Pretty good idea.

95 points on 55 shot attempts. Offense is surprisingly good without relying too much on threes this time.

Kyrie needs to sit already, why tempt fate? Holding my breath on that last possession that ended with an airball chuck. I'll gladly take that airball, could have been worse. Looked like he was sizing up his man about to try something crazy and possibly get himself hurt for nothing.

I wanted to wait to check the score until after I got home from work. Glad I did. I just laughed so loud I scared the hell out of my pets.

They're also against a better team, without their starting center and coming off two 7 game series.

true! the raps will be ok,the best thing they can do is realize this is one game and get it out of their mind. i think the series will still be competitive,i mean a team doesn't win 56 games by accident. they may not win the series but the experience will definitely help them.
