This is a must win for Raptors. As good as this team is they may not be able to beat the Cavs

by **dboss** Thu May 03, 2018 8:00 pm

At the end of the 3rd Cavs up by 11.

Raptors cannot stop them.

Paul Pierce just said before the game Lebron is smelling blood...and predicted big victory for Cavs, James has 39 with 6 minutes left in 4th....damn

by **bobheckler** Thu May 03, 2018 8:34 pm

Cleveland just obliterated Toronto, in Toronto, and it's going back to Cleveland up 2-0.

Wow.

by **cowens/oldschool** Thu May 03, 2018 8:35 pm

Lebron killed them with unstoppable mid range jumpers, posting up like 18 ft away, credit to him, still improving at 33....amazing

they are riding with the King again

and showing that Toronto were never anything but pretenders.

oh yeah, and New Orleans likely won't ever win anything unless they get the Jazz name back...whoever heard of Jazz in Salt Lake City anyway!!

Cool

Hi,
I believe Cavs have broken Raptors. They may win a game but it looks the series is over.

Playoff Rondo putting on a clinic tonite, Pelicans win without a monster game from Davis....it’s coming. Durant doesn’t look so dominant yet these playoffs, nothing like Lebron.

Sinus once again it appears that the Cavs have made the Raptors rather ordinary.

When he reached 20 assists they anounced that it tied the 2011 assist total set by Rondo. So he breaks his own record with 21.

He remains the best and most creative player in the NBA when it comes to passing the basketball.

NOLA may have won their only game of the series. I think GSW win this round in 5.

Raptors are currently playing as if they've already given up...

Cav's starters are shooting 69.7% in the first half (23 for 33) in building up their 16 point lead. Guess they really want to have more rest than us in the next round. Was worried about that.

Cavs looked so dead in struggle vs Pacers, never seen a team turn it around, in this game every quarter they’ve scored over 30 points, with 37 in the 3rd....can’t believe it. Who would have predicted this turnaround?

by **dboss** Mon May 07, 2018 11:17 pm

Once again the Raptors give up the ghost.

Dboss you know the game, Cavs took this, outplaying them in every phase, I don’t know if this was all Raptors choking...maybe T Lue deserves CoY now?

MY NOTE: For those who do not speak French, "Nous les Morts" means "We the Dead".

Barkley is an idiot, anyone see him nominating Isiah Thomas to run basketball operations for Detroit? After what he did to the Knicks, his track record sucks....

by **steve3344** Tue May 08, 2018 9:28 pm

At this point early in the third quarter with Houston up 59-48 over the Pelicans, Jae Crowder is 3 for 25 in his last three games (1 for 6, 1 for 11, 1 for 8 ). Yikes.

Silver should force Utah to give NO the Jazz name back. Salt Lake City is pretty much the opposite of jazz.

Warriors going totally centerless, up 8 in 3rd, they’re 60% FG right now. No sight of Zaza or McGee.

Draymond Green is listed as their starting center.

Forward-center Looney logged 25 minutes in the 13 point win.

Right he covers them, always thought of him more as a 4. He actually did a great job in previous series against Davis, I know Davis had impressive numbers, but was way more dominant previous series.
