The Raptors chose to focus entirely on what the Cavs were ridiculously hot at, hitting 3 pointers. They chose to give up drives to the rim instead, choosing to give out 2s at the rim instead of open 3s. Problem is they couldn't stop anybody getting to the rim. At first, they tried to let only Lebron get his and no one else but it didn't work.

Raptors will likely revert back to packing the paint and forcing shooters to shoot for the rest of the series. Problem is that Cleveland is ridiculously hot from 3. You can't do much if that's what is gonna happen.

Question LivingLegend

Did you burn a Lbj jersey after the decision?


I do, along with 3 of his shirts including a Witness one, 2 pairs of his shoes, a pair of Kyries and Kyries jersey.

Dont be all sassy pants with me. Your crowd got full of themselves for beating the corpse of Wade and Joe Johnson without Bosh and Whiteside and started a 25 thousand person chant that they want Cleveland.

I just posed the question.

They are now doing what the Warriors were able to do early in the year sitting Curry every 4th quarter.


LeBron sat at least 15 4th quarters.

Refs are flat out screwing the Cavs


This is actually hilarious. 23 fouls on toronto to the cavs 16, cavs have like twice the free throw attempts...what more are you expecting from them? you're team is cruising to a win and you're sitting here griping about the refs? for real?

I don't think that was the hard dunk. Looks like it was the one where he drove in and was surprised he was open so he said welp, might as well dunk it, and kind of sneak-dunked it at the last second.


Wasnt that hard of a dunk? Look at the ball man. He threw it down so hard the ball compressed when it hit the rim..


Thats insane


What I'm saying is I don't think that's a photo of the dunk where he drove along the left baseline, took off from the left side of the paint, levitated to the front of the rim, yammed it from there, then celebrated as he ran back on D. He's not at the right angle in that photo for it to be a photo of that particular dunk.

Love when Mo gets some run out there. Has any other player ever gone from having a 50+ point game to 3rd string in the following season?

And that's why you don't try to make statement dunks when you're down thirty. If you blow them you look like a fool.

Looks like the Cavs wont face a team with the talent to potentially beat them until the finals. They are head and shoulders above the rest of the East and meshing well.

They are still shooting over 40%. But the Cavs can drop at least 15 3's in any game.

LOL. All you fans of teams currently not playing are real cute with your comments.

Yeah, we want Cleveland. We like being in the ECFs. We also like having 4 first rounders in the next 2 years on top of a bunch of good young talent and players in their prime or approaching it.

We are fine. Worry about whatever loser team you cheer for.

Still think the Raptors can win a game or two. We were just really hot in this game.

Yeah but who knew that Delly would come back this good this year. He wasn't close to this good last year.

So you have the clearly better team but then rubbing a blowout in our faces? Classy.
