Just want to point out that I predicted this game perfectly in the First Half. Lol

They were mentally defeated already. I think he believes he doesn't even have to try because he knows the Raptors will be the Raptors.

He’s not THAT bad at defense

Worst playoff team ever? We just won a round...

This is why I can't stand the GB when emotions are high.

3-20 down the stretch. So horrible Raptors. Derozan should’ve went one on one for a jumper. Not pass to Vanfleet

Man I had been called a troll and attacked from countless Raptors fans for stating that their team hasn't changed much, the Cavs role players wouldn't be so bad and they still weren't going to get past lebron.

Interesting game 1. This should be a good series

I feel like LeBron decided early on that he was tired and wasn't going to go all out in Game 1.

But when he saw that they were choking the game away he clamped down.

Expect LeBron to be scoring 30+ for most of the series though.

But the dude is a bench player who's only come to the fore this year.

He shouldn't even be the person who the Raptors rely upon to close out the game. You have two guys making superstar money who can't close the deal. Don't blame FVV...he deserves a chance to choke and come back later to redeem himself.

Very disappointed by the Raps but it's only one game. Now if they lose game 2 then the series is over but if they win game 2 then all they have do is win game 3 at Cleveland to regain control of the series. They have done this many times in the past. Cleveland won but barely. They should have lost this game. No matter what happens in this series Cleveland will NOT make the NBA Finals this year. I can bet $2000 on that. If it's not Toronto it will be Philly. BOOK IT.

Cavs defense was huge in that 4th quarter. When locked in they can be pretty good.

Raptors lost this game by missing easy shots, layups and putbacks, and dumb turnovers not because of good D. Cavs D was trash...

The Raptors didnt get anything easy in the 4th quarter

I actually think our defense on Lebron was rather good today. Now obviously Lebron is going to get his but I saw Lebron hit some clutch fadeaways after OG played some good defense on him.

The Raptors just could seal the deal tonight. :/

Ignore all the worst playoff team ever ****. Its just not true. like 3rd or 4th most playoff wins in the last 3 years. ONLY lost to the cavs. Anyone saying worst playoff team ever doesn't watch basketball or is a troll.. Well I guess they could also be stupid.

You really blaming JV...really...you not gonna say anything about that 5 second on Kyle and shooting a long 3 with time on the clock after a time out...and DD going one on three instead of running the offense? Ok...JV balled out...if you ask me...he missed some shots he will make in the future. He took the RIGHT shots..just missed them. DD and Kyle were not themselves...and didnt play smart when it mattered.

At this point I expect DeMar and Kyle to play poorly down the stretch, but Jonas could have put it away if he wasn't missing 10 easy shots down low. He went 7-19, most of them were good looks.

I would rather have a center putting up good shots in the paint than having Kyle and DD looking like they lost they ********* minds and all of a sudden they gonna beat Lebron with heroic effort...

I mean I'd rather have that too, since close shots are the highest percentage of shots on the field and Jonas generates a lot of good shots. But again, he missed 12 shots, a lot of them were good easy looks. We involved him the entire game and he didn't deliver.

Not saying I'd go away from that plan, but out of all our players he had the greatest chance of building us a lead and he disappointed.
