Game 18: Cavs at Toronto Raptors 7:30 EST, NBALP FSO

This is the most impressive game I've seen the Cavs play. This team is starting to look dominant and they seemed to almost break the will of the raptors at times. Kyrie is abusing the paint like Tony Parker and man this team is fun to watch. Cavs must continue to feature Tristan Thompson as a scoring option. He should be utilized more in the post. Itwill serve the bench and team well. I like some of the things I see from blatt but one weakness I see is that he doesn't use certain players that can make a difference out there. James Jones looks like he and not Mike Miller should have been playing all along. Aj price wasn't utilized enough by blatt and then went to Indiana only to put up strong scoring outputs. Now he's back and blatt still isn't using him. I bet you, though, that when delly comes back blatt will go back to him even though he doesn't give you what Aj can on offense. Blatt needs to chill on giving his big three players so many minutes. Love always takes a t least one tumble a game and usually comes up limping and kyrie seemed to grimace once or twice running up the court last night. He usually doesn't even look to be breaking a sweat but even last night he looked tired.

Looks like your Cavs have really got it going but you can't really declare them the better team until you beat the Raps with Derozan in the lineup. I really look forward to that matchup ...it'll be a great game

I see it the other way. The intriguing part of last night game was figuring out what team would show up. Would it be the Cavs that blew the doors of the raptors early in the first game or the raptors that came back and blew the Cavs out. Both teams showed that they could dominate the other but one reason I give the Cavs the nod is because they are a newer team than the raptors and the raptors had the advantage of playing together longer and chemistry. As the season goes on, the Cavs chemistry will continue to improve and they will be better as a result. I don't feel like the raptors will be able to deal with the Cavs once the Cavs sword is fully sharpened. Derozan played the first game too.
