Drake some shit though

(now were this the Heat, this would have been paragraphs of hate)
2538806, another boring sweep for cleveland.

2538807, Cavs in 2
Posted by Innocent Criminal, Sun May-15-16 09:11 PM
Hopefully the other two are cancelled after Toronto is left for dead.
2538808, A laughable 4 game sweep
Posted by HecticHavoc, Sun May-15-16 09:20 PM
Unfortunate we couldn't see Heat vs Cavs

Pat Stay just lost to Hollow.
Torey Lanz is a wack version of Bryson Tiller.
Choclair is trash
Kardinal Offishall is washed.
NIckelback sucks.
Labatt Blue is the worst beer in the world.

I hope the Cavs win 7 but the series is not over yet. Raps could pull off a victory. <--- SEE WHAT I DID THERE OR DID YOU?

Dan Feldman owes Bismack an apology:

At face value, Biyombo – the No. 7 pick in the 2011 draft – is a bust.

Was pat stay vs hollow a classic or nah? Better than iron vs diz this year?
2539487, It's a classic

>diz this year?

It's real back and forth as both cook. I'd say it's better than Iron and Diz because I hate Diz's 15 minutes of anti-Semitic content. BMagic vs Iron is a barfest.

This dude Bangz has worst performance of the year and proved that Wegohard style does not belong on KOTD. How the fuck you get booed on KOTD?
2538905, with whiteside and bosh, we coulda had an interesting ecf

stead we get the raptors
2539017, Who are also beat up anyways :(

2539018, Wow, lotta Toronto hate in here...
Posted by dgonsh, Mon May-16-16 07:12 PM
I know MiaVsTor was hard to watch if you didn't have a horse in the race, but as a lifer raptor fan since age 7, this was a big moment for us.

I assume we get rocked by Cavs, maybe Cavs in 5. If we're lucky and shock em a couple times maybe Cavs in 6. We obviously do not have the talent to really challenge Cleveland...but we also historically play better and tougher as underdogs, so I see it being a choppy, dirty series.
2539029, I expect this to go the ways of the '92 ECF
Posted by Dr Claw, Mon May-16-16 07:57 PM
(which BTW, the Cavs were in)
2539164, Probably sweep.
Posted by denny, Tue May-17-16 02:52 AM
Who knows though? Maybe the Cavs can manage to sneak one out on home court.

2539167, Seriously though
Posted by denny, Tue May-17-16 03:36 AM
By all appearances...the Cavs should win every game by 25 points. But there's a part of me clinging to the idea that Casey is controlling the tempo and style of these games and that's why they're so ugly. It's like watching basketball played in mud. Is it possible that this works against the Cavs? Probably wishful thinking. I get the sense that there's around a 75% chance of convincing sweep and 25% chance that the Raps actually frustrate them with team defence. If the latter happens....then it's STILL probably around 3 to 1 odds that the Cavs win. So all in all...around a 10% chance of an upset.

Not having Val kinda kills us. He's performed really good against Tristan in the past. High ankle sprain could be months nevermind weeks. I would assume he's a no-go for the entire series which means our back-court is gonna have to do all the scoring.

I was under the assumption that Delavadova was a good defender? His D seemed pretty good in the playoff run last year. But I'm hearing the pundits say the opposite and that the Cav's biggest weakness is aggregate back-court defence? That works for us....especially in the absence of Val.

The other thing....Carroll is probably in the top 5 defenders in the league playing one on one against Lebron. Refs can control the game by calling fouls against Carroll....but even then, we have James Johnson on the bench who just happens to play pretty good (relatively speaking of course) against James too. We're kinda designed to ATTEMPT to defend James in that way.

I haven't seen much of Jr Smith v Derozan.....Both Derozan and Lowry have to heavily outscore their matchups to have any chance at all. I think Lowry can beat Irving....but it's gotta be by ALOT.

2539333, Because it was silly in reference to the Pistons
Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue May-17-16 02:30 PM
3 out of 4 games were straight up dogfights, and 2 of them turned on Hail Mary 3s in ridiculous situations.

As I said before the playoffs started, the Pistons are their toughest test in the East. Almost home and so far so good.

Makes me wonder what could have happened if the Pistons had earned the 7 seed and gotten some grizzle before they met the Cavs.

other than that the Cavs should dominate this.

2539446, Bron is playing at an unreal level right now
Posted by Vex_id, Tue May-17-16 08:11 PM
I've seen him play with more force/explosion before for sure - but he is employing that anomalous basketball IQ more beautifully than ever. Efficiency is off the charts; vision is absurd.

I dare you to name a more multi-dimensional player in NBA history.

2539447, I think we might see the return of Dem Salts
Posted by Dr Claw, Tue May-17-16 08:14 PM
or maybe DEM CRYSTALS, since it's Ohio.

and as I type this, Cavs are actually playing Eat Da Poo Poo defense.

2539451, BathSaltGang BACK
Posted by Vex_id, Tue May-17-16 08:17 PM
I'm enjoying this chapter immensely right now. Never seen Bron this engaged in #TeamBall - even during the height of the Miami Cocaine Glory days.

As you noted - that ball movement is lethal. If they keep shooting like this - Land Ring Cometh.

2539448, at the deadline Cavs got Frye, Thunder got Foye...

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are near-perfect players to play alongside LeBron.

Bron needs to sit the rest of the game so he can have a new career high field goal percentage.

This is such a spectacular performance by the Cavs. They're jelling at the right time and it is a great sight to see.
2539481, Van Gun is a living legend. It's cool

Posted by CyrenYoung, Wed May-18-16 09:30 AM
..aggressive, active, and alert.

more importantly, they're healthy and buying in at the right time.

the raptors appeared to be shell shocked (understandable, considering the prior series). it'll be interesting to see how they respond.
