Is Anyone Seriously Scared of Cavs? Edit Craptors left me in shambles and proven wrong

[XxIronChainzxX]

Meh, this is embarrassing because Cavs are really not good. Lebron is a top 3 player all time but this more on Raps than Lebron. Lebron had to play 46mins last series just to keep up with the pacers but now he is just cruising and actually getting rest

The Pacers are a bad matchup for the Cavs. When they swept their way through the East last year, the only team to give them a challenge was the Pacers with PG. That's just a bad matchup.

Title should be “Is anyone scared of the Raptors?”

[C Court]

Any team that has the #1 player on the planet, is one that should scare you. That’s why I picked the Cavs to win the series.

Anyone suggesting the Cavs aren’t a team to be worried about shouldn’t be taken seriously.

This thread has been proven to be a joke. OP in shambles.

It’s amazing how ONE GUY elevates a roster that otherwise comes off as basically the Orlando Magic.

The Cavs roster is literally held up by one guy, yet they keep getting by in spite of that roster and their coach.

[Vlade Divac]

There is no similar dominance in ANY professional sport like it is LeBron dominance on basketball court (when he decides to be). They basically gave Kyrie for NOTHING. Trades they made were a joke (Clarkson total volume scrub hardly plays; Nance not even in rotation; Hood a joke who cannot hit anything hardly plays and Hill who is only one who is partly serviceable starter. But no matter, King is the king and he owns Raptors soul, mind and bodies.

Because players see things as we see them. They know that even if they **** the bed, king is going to bail them out. THEY BELIEVE IN HIM, because he proved them HUNDRED times that he can do that anytime he wants and when it matters.

Do you think our players believe in DeFrozen threes? And his shooting? Do you think they believe he is going to bring them to victory? Do they believe KL is going to bail them out in tough situation? KL can bring them only to all you can eat buffets so they can beast and imitate habits of their "leader".

This, BPI all this crap has proven to be ridiculous the last few years

[Johnny Bball]

If you think the Cavs don't come with the refs, you're a fool. We don't have to beat only the Cavs.

I stand by this.

[C Court]

The Cavs play like a team that knows they can come back and win, when they need to.

The Raps play like a team that knows the Cavs can come back and win, when they need to.

Yup, honestly feel like Raptor fans have way high expectations. This wasn't a contending team; just a really good regular season team and a so-so playoff team. That being said, I'm not even mad. It is what it is. I still think Cavs will be back in the finals.

This.

Fans know it too. No matter how big a lead the Raps have against the Cavs, or how well they seem to be playing, I have this constant gnawing fear that the Cavs can come back.

When the Cavs have the lead, I have zero faith the Raptors can make any sort of run.

Honestly, at this stage the only thing we as fans can hope for is that the Raptors play with a "**** it, we've got nothing to lose at this point" attitude and play a fearless game against the Cavs on Saturday.

I'm not optimistic though. Not any more. Coming in, I thought it'd be Raps in 7 in a hard-fought series. At this point, I'm expecting us to be out of our misery by Monday night.

I'm not sure there's any sense continuing to post on the topic. You said it all right here.

Yup, analytics are a crock of ****, means nothing on the court.

Is it just the Cavs?

The Raptors couldn't hold big leads against the Wizards. The last few years they barely blow out anybody
the Raps barely ever win pretty or convincing.

[traps#10]

No wonder teams were angling to face us in the Playoffs. Fans know how weak we are mentally, analysts know this, the whole league knows this.
