24-10 FT attempt advantage for the Cavs, too. They still sucked at the charity stripe, but not as bad as from the 3, on D, FGs...pick any two and that's a game. Warriors are dismantling the Cavs, but again, it's a new series with it going to Cleveland. Warriors have to stay focused.

lol Jack just said the Cavs have the talent to match up with the Warriors but Love and Irving are being taken off their game by Warriors D. But doesn't that mean the Cavs, then, don't in fact have the O talent to match up with the Warriors? They've been rendered ineffective.

I will always remember the Czar said there are 3 ways he's seen to beat the Warriors

1. Have outstanding guard play (Portland, Toronto)
2. Dominate their front court (San Antonio, Detroit)
3. Dominate them on turnovers (Boston)

The way Cleveland is currently playing they can do none of the above and you can not out run GS. Lue has to change, he has to. CLEVELAND HAS TO SLOW IT DOWN. Blatt's style of play is what could give GS problems. Lebron centic, walk up the court, run plays to the end of shot clock. CLEVELAND HAS TO SLOW IT DOWN. If they don't it will be a sweep.

Cavs complete disaster.. KD sees he can beat GSW with Raptors. Get'r done Masai .

Some posters claimed the Raptors would struggle to sign free agents because of the stench left behind by a blowout loss.

So I assume the Cavs won't attract free agents either because of this embarrassing butt kicking.

Yo, if the Raptors add another piece or two, they can take this Cavs team. They have a chance to rep the East in the Finals.

We've got as many wins against the Cavs as the Warriors have so far 8-)

lol at people who think Wiggins would have been the difference in the Cavs beating the Warriors. The Cavs did a win now move but for the wrong guy. Kevin Love isn't a two way superstar. He's a great scorer but a black hole on defense.

It's not about if Wiggins would make a difference for the Cavs to beat the Warriors but about Cleveland trading away their future for a Kevin Love; was it worth it and is it worth it?

Last team to come back from 2-0 and win were the 2006 Heat

I am thinking the opposite, this shows how far the raps are from ever contending. I don't think the NBA would ever let TO get past Lebron, and if anything, Boston is more likely coming up to pass us than us catching cavs.

Yes, Wiggins would definately help the Cavs.

I'm sure they'd rather have Wiggins play at 2/3 than Iman Shumpert and Richard Jefferson. LeBron/Kyrie/Wiggins would be a handful athletically for the Warriors to handle.

Love is slow footed, and one of the worst PnR defenders in the league. Cavs would be way better off with Wiggins.

Agreed.

We're still far from being a legit contender. Even if we added another all-star, we're gonna need a FAR better bench to compete against GSW.

If this was the Raps in the finals instead of Cavs right now, we would be getting smoked by epic proportions.

Who will win?
