Actually they land in a teammates hands for an easy lay in once in a while. D Wade got one or two clutch ones (last min) this year for the Cavs.

Indiana was the better team last series against the Cavs but they played so loose and casual and had so many opportunities to really take command of the series but couldn’t. Lebron looked like he left everything in that series and in the end barely won game 7 with home court advantage. Raptors are on another level than the Pacers and unlike previous seasons where Lebron is sweeping teams in the early rounds and getting plenty of rests, he has no rests now, he doesn’t have Kyrie to take the scoring pressure off, his team isn’t blowing out anyone which is why he’s playing 42-43 minutes a night. He’s in year 15 so it’s expected at some point he looks human for once.

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Seeing LeBron sit at the 4 minute mark was shocking. When was the last time LeBron sat before the other teams stars? He was playing the first 16 minutes vs the Pacers.

If the Raptors had OKC's Ibaka, could they compete against GSW?

The way he stepped just made it so damn obvious that it was a travel, at least on some of these other guys layups you kind of know it's a travel but not glaringly obvious, Siakam just walked in a way that people who don't watch basketball would question it.

This team is bad and is capped out. This team is not getting any better while all the other top teams in the East are only going to get better next year.

He doesn't owe the city of Cleveland anything. If they can't make a block buster to bring a superstar(s) there's no reason for him to stay.

I'm excited by this Raps showing so far, but man it's one quarter out of a best of seven series, not getting my hopes up yet.

Thankfully this is the best reffed game so far. The only bad call was not calling DeMar for fouling Hill on that drive.
