I'm aware of how much our fans have talked trash vying for every single little ESPN headline this season, and I kept telling them to wait until the playoffs until you talk ****, but they kept doing it anyways. They were confident ISO ball was the team's problem and said things would be different because we have ball movement now, and it's sort of pissing me off everyone who swore this aren't owning up to it, instead are just being suicidal and claiming they were right about Casey all along.
Much love from me, bro.

This was the question I asked at the end of game 3. It's just human nature to let up on effort once you believe that you have done all you could do to win and it's still not working. That's what appears to be happening here.

Because the cavs are the best team in history at forcing switches.

Or maybe because the Raptors basically switch everything even when they don't have to, they've done this all season

When Kevin Love plays like and all-star and George Hill is healthy, the Cavs are this good.

So I'm busy and can't watch game or this thread. On a scale of one to ten how mad are people at the refs. Looking at score I'm guessing it's at least an 8.
Only 7 Players in NBA history have 21,000 points, 5,750 assists and 5,750 rebounds. LeBron has double those numbers.

This is probably one of the best games Cavs have played in a long while, in terms of execution and effort (both defensively and offensively). Also glad to see Love playing with so much activity, and players not named Lebron contributing nicely.

I always thought when teams are down 3-0 they should actually come out in Game 4 hot.

Playing with nothing to lose usually relaxes players, or in theory it should

Are you that dumb? Kevin love was an All-star. He was voted in but he got injured so someone took his spot.
Also, Kyrie was an all-star but even he dont want to play with Lebron. They traded kyrie for Thomas, the guy that was in the running for MVP last year as well as averaging 30ppg. He didnt like playing him so he gutted the whole team.
Like i said, trash like lebron will never be as good as Jordon.


This is a horrible argument and frankly the namecalling doesn't make it more convincing.

Love was NOT voted into the All Star game.


Kevin Love was definitely an All Star this year. He got injured (the broken hand thing) and was replaced by a Silver appointment (can’t remeber which one) - but he was definitely a legit, original All Star when they had that LeBron/Steph draft. LeBron picked him for his team.

IT was not an All Star this year - not even close, I think he played like 2 games before the voting was closed.

Lol what? He's never played with 3 All-Stars at any point of his life. The Olympics and AS Games don't count.


Bosh, Wade, Kyrie, Love, SHAQ

NVM, he didnt play with any all stars, he only play with 3 Hall of Farmers all his life.

LMAO. Shaq. Might as well talk about how MJ played with Artis Gilmore, George Gervin, and Robert Parish.

The cavs do this to every team. They’re just successful scoring with it against the raptors.

That KLove/Korver left wing action with LBJ deciding what he wants to do at the top of the key with JR sitting in the other corner, man, LBJ just has made some beautiful reads out of that action and TOR just has no answer cuz it's either a 3 for Korver/JR or Love if he steps out or a Love/Korver backdoor cut for a layup or LBJ going 1on1 with no rim protection from TOR.

It's just a sight to watch for a change...Now if only Lue can bench TT/Clarkson cuz they've been hit or miss. I applaud benching Hood too but I don't think Cedi is ready for the offensive pressure...
Come at the king, you best not miss...

After that one game where he put Powell on Prozingis and won the game for us, he thinks putting small players on bigs is a good strategy.
