ECSF: P1 | (1) Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers (4) | TIED 0-0

JV gave the game away with all of his misses around the basket.

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...

[Vampirate]

Honestly not even really mad, we just missed when we needed to, if FVV hits one of those 3s the Raptors win, oh well. Oh and Korver just casually kills us.

[dukes_wild]

If Raps lose this series, LeBron will have finished the Raps for good

Yup of they lose this series you got to trade DD, Lowry, Ibaka and Val and let the young guys grow. Already have a young top tier bench.

Top tier bench that just got outscored by the Cavs scrub bench

[Steelo Green]

Some hyperbole though in this thread lol.

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

[Kupchak9]

Sums up the Raptors pretty much every season.

[Hello Brooklyn]

This is all part of LeBron's plan. He wants to go down 20 so he can come back and humiliate them in the best way impossible.

Then once they are mentally defeated, he commences the Sweep.

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

[JohnPferdelack]

Korver finally getting all the shots he deserves.

Although he doesn't know what's defense, he is reliable in terms of 3pointers.

[PhilBlackson]

What's up with Lowry though? Besides his and-1, he looked terrified at the end of the game and had a few shaky mistakes.

He has the entire Playoffs...he did the same in our losses to the Wizards, he doesn't want further criticism.

...but it's unavoidable.

Let them find that out for themselves.

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...

That should make you feel better...except it makes the next game a MUST win for the raptors. You lose that one and the brooms coming out.

[spicy4MVP]

Its kind of sad how the Raptors worked hard all year so they could get the #1 seed and avoid the Cavs.

And then the Cavs just slip to 4 and they have to face them anyway.

how about last year, raps slipped to third to avoid playing cavs and then suddenly cavs slipped to 2nd to play toronto in round 2.

[Thanos1985]

Jonas should leave the tip for Cavs dinner

[K For Three]

Even though I joke, I feel for you guys at times. Playing Lebron is NOT fun.

[JohnPferdelack]

What does Drake think at this moment?^^

[yoyoboy]

Raps threw this game away. Real talk. I'm willing to take the lumps from all the other fanbases on how we choked this game away. Damn it

To be honest we choked really bad, too, so I don't think it's fair to focus on the Raptors. How many shots did LeBron miss in the last couple minutes and OT. And Love made so many costly mistakes. Your team just happened to choke slightly harder, today, but if you get just one lucky roll on a DD basket at the end this is an entirely different conversation and we're talking about how the Cavs were stupid and blew it down the stretch.

Know everyone ran to the Raptors board to see the destruction

What's up with Lowry though? Besides his and-1, he looked terrified at the end of the game and had a few shaky mistakes.

Typical Lowry looking like a pussy. This guy is the most mentally inept franchise player I've ever seen. He was giddy like a school girl after going up 2-0 against Washington as if they already won, and then played poorly in game 3. We played great the 1st quarter, then he played stupid in the 2nd quarter when he checked in.

He has T-Mac syndrome; he'll try his hardest at the start, but then he'll get content and reward himself by taking a step back. I didn't want to bring him back and this is why.

[NyCeEvO]

Canada I feel soooo bad for you guys lol

Thanks man, feels like everyone else is getting a kick out of this choke

I'm not genuinely pissed off for you guys. Y'all don't deserve this nonsense. These guys have no intestinal fortitude.

Masai can't pass this BS over on the fans no more. The entire core needs to go....Lowry, DD, JV, and Casey.
