Is it just me or is the audio feed like 3 seconds ahead of the video on the ESPN feed?

Cavs haven't played a good defensive team yet. But on the other hand their offense still look good

Toronto just covering the 3 too hard, looking like a layup drill for the cavs right now. Raptors hanging around on the back of Derozans prime kobe game.

Well, Raps shoot 52% and CLE only makes 2 3's, TOR doesn't get 30pt quarter but Cavs do with 5 pt lead.

I'll take it.

It's like the Cavs have ZERO flaws.

Don't think you understand the law of verticality - the other two drives weren't fouls.

Solid winning season, ECF for the first time, a good find in Biyombo, Deep Playoff experience for the guys... a real good year. Therefore they shouldn't be under pressure and play freely out there... so far they have, but they gotta up it on the defensive end if they wanna have a chance of winning.


Raptors will be set if they nail their pick in the draft too

that probably was their gameplan coming in, but i suppose their IQ is a little low as a team to quickly get their act together when it comes to protecting the rim (which is always the number 1 rule in defense). But Im sure theyll have a talk about it and come back with better rim protection... or else... its gonna get ugly real soon.

hawks were the second best defensive team in the regular season and cavs destroyed them.

exactly what I knew would happen. Raps would try to take away the Cavs 3pt shooting and let their interior D suffer. Cavs taking advantage. On the bright side, the refs are letting both teams play which I like.

That's as good of a start as the Raptors could have hoped for. However, they can't try to out gun the Cavs. Derozan is hitting some good jumpers tonight, hope he mixes things up if his jumper stops falling.
