Love has remembered that he is tall, can shoot, and is generally good at basketball.  Not a good sign for rest of the east.

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

If you go down the best players from each team, the Cavs are better across the board. It's revisionist history now, but maybe it shouldn't have been surprising that the Cavs would be up 2-0 after 2 games.

James > Derozan
Love > Lowry
Smith > Wright
Hill > Anunoby
Thompson < Valancunas

Korver = Miles
Clarkson = Van Fleet
Green = Ibaka
Hood < Siakim

Love was being guarded by Miles when things were turning in the 3rd quarter.  I don't know if Miles could have guarded Love any worse.  He was abused.  ANY, literally any of the C's would have been better against Love.

Eh, to be honest even if Love kept struggling, I think CLE is making it out of the East now. Yes, I'll admit it. Toronto was the only team I thought could legitimately beat them, but I was very wrong...  :P

I have to give props to Moranis.  He was one telling us that the Cavs were going to clobber the Raps.  He turned out to be completely right.

If Toronto comes back to win this series, it will go down in being one of the biggest comebacks ever in the nba playoffs.

Think the Cavs are excited now? Beat Raptors which they will and they get us or Sixers 😐

Imagine if we got there and beat them minus our top 3 scorers?!

Lebron is crazy amazing though. He has that switch in playoffs and it is like nobody else that is active in the East.

So much for culture reset.

This is embarrassing for the Raps. Like, going to your high school reunion thinking you're finally going to stand up to the guy who bullied you in 11th grade and then peeing your pants in front of everyone the second you see him.

Or this ;D -

Don't worry, we have our secret weapon that Lebron doesn't know about (yet)...

How in the world do you have ibaka equal to jeff green? I also really disagree love is better than Lowry

Taking Cavs in 6 is not clobber. I took Cavs in 6 too. We’re probably both wrong now.

If it goes 6, that wouldn't be a clobber.  It doesn't look like it is going 6 right now though.
