And no rest at all for Toronto now. What the heck is Lowry doing playing 41 minutes? He should have come out much earlier. Same with Biyombo.

It's game 7, they needed the win. The Raps fall off a cliff with Lowry on the bench. It's pretty crazy what a great season Lowry is having, most people who don't watch the raps wouldn't know that.

It was a 20 point game with 6 min to go. I know that Lowry is having a superb season and he's fantastic. But you can play prevent offense those six minutes with Derozan and Lowry can rest.

Raptors had a 21pt lead against the Pacers in a regular season game and blew the lead in the same quarter. :lol:

Has to be seen to be believed. Casey doesn't like to take out Lowry with a big lead until it gets to under 2 mins in the 4th quarter no matter what the score is.

Raptors ARE a good team. Especially if Dar and Low played like they did today they can match up pretty good with Cavs I dont think this is going 4 but more like 6 or 7

Toronto is going to get destroyed probably, especially if Derozan is going to play like a chucker

No, your problem is no-one will be able to shutdown LBJ . He will either score at willl at the rim or pass out for the open 3. No way the Raptors keep up with DD throwing up bricks with his high usage rate.

I think demarre can contain lebron. Perhaps just to slow him down. Like he did with the Hawks.

Like he did for the 60-wins Hawks last year when they got swept? When he was actually healthy, opposed to playing half-injured? That Cavs team last year had Kyrie nursing knee injuries during the ECF and Love was out completely. Now they are back and in form.

I would love to see a competitive series, but I don't see it going past 5 games with the Cavs blitzing with 3 point shots and the talent they have.

You should be a coach some day.

They have zero chance of beating Cavs and even less chance of winning a championship.

I'd say being mediocre is putting it nicely.

So everybody except GSW, SAS, OKC, and CLE are mediocre at best?

In the NBA, you want to be really good (championship contender) or really bad (high draft pick).

The worst spot to be is middle of the road, treadmill, mediocre team, unless it's a young team that's still has potential and is improving.

Otherwise, it's just a complete waste of time.

I'd stick Lebron on DD and just completely take him out of the situation.
