Yeah, focus on that when the Cavs got robbed at the end of regulation. JR fucked up big, the overlying theme is the Cavs were screwed. Plain and simple.

We all saw a robbery in front of our eyes. Complete and utter bullshit. Up 2 with 2 shots or give Shortcuts Durant 2 free throws to tie it up. I still don’t know what just happened.

Yep, then the bounce is 45-deg away from you, not back at you. By the second bounce, there’s not enough force to splash far enough to do damage.

The biggest factor in all of this is Al Horford’s impact on Boston on both ends, but most importantly on D.

No way. I totally agree with you. Both games’ meltdowns - in their own beautifully unique ways - are on another level for sure.

For sure. They looked like complete dogshit in Rd 1. The Pacers are legit and probably should’ve won. I’ll give you that much...

It’s funny, the league thinks Lebron’s going west. You think Lebron, for his final act, is going to willingly walk into the bloodbath that is GS and HOU (and NO and UTAH, maybe Denver, etc.)??

Hey man, I dislike Boston fans as much as everyone else, but I’m not going to be irrational about it. Objectively, their fans help the home team when they are down by trying to lift them out of whatever slump they are in through cheering them on. Toronto fans were on egg shells all night, just waiting for their team…

Browns are the 76ers of the NFL

No need to apologize to Raps fans. The real ones knew what was coming, the fake ones, who gives a f

In your defense, half the national media thought the Raps would win the series... Including my beloved Zach Lowe!?!?!?!

Don’t know what game you just watched. We talking about the public display of the Cavs shitting on the Raptors’ collective face and the Raptors crumbling in every meaningful way possible? Or are you talking about a couple calls that happened along the way?

Yup

Haha if you are not trolling eveyone, enjoy the rest of your night. At least you got the Leafs (Leaves???)?

Lebron’s gotten back to sharing the ball and playing with (and not in spite of) his teammates. This doesn’t change a whole lot for the EC landscape. The toughest matchups for the Cavs were always (even injury-depleted) Boston and the 76ers because both those teams execute and play ball the right way.

No.. it’s just the Raptors. Nothing more or less than that. They don’t call Lebron “Daddy” for no reason.

Clevelander here. It’s borderline blasphemy to say anything negative about Lebron considering the championship he’s gifted the city, but his numbers last night are a complete facade.

It certainly has better dance moves...

What are you even talking about? My point is playoff basketball is incredibly more nuanced than you are giving it credit for, it’s all about matchups, and it’s ridiculous of you to try to use the logic of “Team A struggled with Team B, and Team C is a better team than Team B, therefore Team C will automatically beat…
