I'm speechless.

We knew we were going to play the Cavs in the 2nd round and they basically got a new team at the deadline. We got swept last year by them yet one year later we still have no gameplan to beat these guys?

Casey needs to go, how can you use the 1Q to experiment with different lineups. This isn't the regular season cant be pulling this **** in a do or die game.

I don't understand how Demar is from Compton but he's soft as ****

Lowry is the problem IMO. I honestly don't know what he does really well.

The game has been physical on both sides. It's the playoffs, expect it.

Raps fans any answer for that???


Masai complained at half and probably made a call.

I heard the NBA is ordering the refs to make quick work of the series because the NBA wants a shorter series because they hate money. My source is legit 80% of the time 40% of the time on matters like these.

Hard trapping LeBron, for starters.

Honestly, I would've started Miles. FVV is integral to the second unit.

LeBron didn't start going off till the 2nd QT.


Scoring wise yes, but he controlled the Cavs offense and exploited every mismatch in the 1st quarter caused by starting FVV.

Good to see Cavs coming out with that no urgency 3rd quarter energy, way to stay consistent. smh. JR apparently can only make contested 3's instead of WIDE open ones. I just don't get why LBJ is no abusing OG by driving it to the rack and spraying out. Enough of this cross court KLove 3's with a JV contest. I hate when Cavs go into these offensive lazy lulls cuz they got a lead...

I honestly don’t believe you know a thing about basketball if that’s the conclusion you’ve come up with.

C’mon Raptors... Do you really want to get SWEPT TWICE IN A ROW by the same team??

If not then stop playing like you’re frightened to death just by the mere sight of Lebron.

I know his power level is much higher than yours, but still.. Have some pride.
