nice Jaylen Brown on the short floater....So he just added a floater in mid-season. Impressive.
this game is going to be up and down
Good Lord, what are our bigs doing giving Lowry so much room on those transitions threes??
That floater Jaylen tweaked his ankle off of was a big time shot by him. He can be an All Star taking and making those type of shots. Those kind of shots, combined with range and ability to get to the rim, make you unguardable.
Missed layups...geeshOMG another
if this ends up being the ECF, it will be a tough one...
Well, so far we're getting great shots and just missing, and they're hitting some tougher shots and playing with much more energy.
if this ends up being the ECF, it will be a tough one...
That's what I've been saying! Unless we have other people stepping up I think they will beat us. It's tough to score in the Playoffs.
What's the vibe?
Hoping Kyrie out quick means they are going to have him in here and let him loose.
2nd team for the Raps playing well...we gotta elevate the def effort

For the most part they're just hitting tough shots over us. I believe they're something like 25th in three point shooting; they'll cool off.
VanFleet and Wright are absolutely slaughtering us. This is a shameful display.

Hey I knew. Would be a hell of a series. Hopefully ECF preview.
Raptors up 16.
We have them right where we want them! ;)
DeRozan hasn't even scored and we're down double digits...

They are a good regular season team.
Toronto fans are such ****s
This is why you want Cleveland to go through Toronto and vice versa
Toronto fans are such ****s
Why? They've shown great support for the Raptors in the playoffs over the past few years and turn out in huge numbers.
I alway said Toronto only team scares me in the EastI even put a topic bout it
Terry's hit some big 3's this quarter, but his past 3 possessions have been terrible.
Seriously, where is Kyrie right now?
Boston looks like a team that hasn’t played together is over a week
Toronto fans have an inferiority complex. This is their best chance at making the Finals tho. Deep deep team.
This Raptors team is really good... that saidSmartEvans and Monroe would make a huge difference.

Maybe Kyrie got out there and figured out he wasn’t ready. Don’t think Stevens cares too much about tonight and doesn’t want to risk him

Gotta give credit to Toronto. They are playing harder and more together on defense. Forcing Cs into a lot of contested iso shots.
Disappointed in the Cs defense though, they were awful in 2nd Q.

Stop baiting/trolling, disrespecting others, etc. That results in a 10 day ban, Snakehead.
LOL Cavaliers blew the lead. Up 67-51 at halftime, and 81-81 right now. Magic have scored 30 points this quarter and there's still 3 minutes left in the 3rd.

Naw, not from me. I think Al is pretty clearly the most important cog on our team, and at least his defense tonight has been pretty good.
But still, as a leader on a younger team this kind of lack of aggression isn't justifiable. It's not like he's simply missing shots, he's not even looking for his shots. He simply has to be more aggressive, especially since we apparently are only playing Kyrie half the game for some unknown reason now.

Cavs finish is 4th..Toronto can have the number one seed
Baynes is so bad at finishing dunks. 2nd oop he's missed tonight
Toronto regular season good but playoff good?? They seem to do this quite often
Ya Lowry especially has gotten flack for being a non-factor in the playoffs. The bigger the stage, the smaller he gets it looks like.
Wait wait wait wait... so they look at all hits to the face now, but they're not going to look at this??Come on he didn’t do anything just went up
Baynes is so bad at finishing dunks. 2nd oop he's missed tonight
He really is I have to say. A lot are far down too. Kyrie has missed a lot of assists from that.
Now imagine Monroe though.

Sprained uterus. And/or doesn't feel like playing up to the AS break, like the rest of the league (see GSW). But most play through it respectfully, as it is a job.

Well, Tatum's passes weren't perfect either. But it surely does seem that Baynes is struggling the farther we get into the season.
Wait wait wait wait... so they look at all hits to the face now, but they're not going to look at this??Come on he didn’t do anything just went up

It's time for the moderator to realize we have a troublemaker in our midst and do the right thing. When someone continually baits and those that respond are sanctioned it's unfair.
59 of Toronto's 82 points have come from their guards. We'd still have gotten our butts kicked but yeah, Smart would have helped with that.

Yeah, pretty disappointed with how much he's hurt this team by this decision. Probably going to cost him some money in next year's contract, too.

Is it just me, or is the Morris iso play getting a bit old...?its better than any play where Semi or Nader touch the ball.

Sometimes you just flat out get your butt whooped.
Toronto can't miss, and Boston can't do much of anything right. Just burn the game tape.

why am I still watching this? I just can't stop watching
at least the Wizards game isn't tomorrow night
Like I said: The Raptors are a pretty great regular season team.
It kind of p---es me off that Toronto is still pressing full court at this stage of the game with this kind of lead and our scrubs in. Like, good Lord, Casey, have some respect and call off your dogs.
On the positive side, the Raptors aren't this good, and we're not this bad. Because if the Raptors were this good they'd beat the Warriors.Agreed. I still like the C’s in a best of seven.
At least the Cavs got splashed too.

yeah, i thought the same exact thing. 20+ lead with 5 min left.
classy

C's played very uninspired from the get go--Raps played like it was 7th game of playoffs...not worried.
What's your guys' drug for this game?
Mine is reading the comments from Cavs fans ;D: https://www.fearthesword.com/2018/2/6/16981058/cleveland-cavaliers-orlando-magic-gamethread

Toronto’s bench is playing great tonight
BTW, do we have anyone to guard Lowry? Oh yeah he was guarding the picture frame instead.
Can't wait for the deadline to pass if only to get confirmation on who the Celtics will have on their team.
I still want to know Brad's reasoning for only playing Kyrie 12 minutes in the first half, especially his decision to bench Kyrie in the second half of the second quarter when they made their run.Maybe Kyrie had a minute restriction. Maybe is quad still isn't 100%. Better to play too few minutes than too many when just coming off an injury

I’m guessing he was on a minutes restriction.

We know we have Monroe. To the level he is being glossed over by a lot in these discussions, I think people are going to be surprised how good he can be here.
Dwayne Casey was really high on him here for his passing, which I have thought to a degree but he was very confident on how he spoke of it. Casey is a smart coach I think.
His post scoring will be big when they need offense at times and he is a better finisher around the rim than any big we have. I love Baynes for defense but he blows finishes off great feeds from Kyrie and others that would be easy finishes for a player like Monroe.
If he's a threat to score and can pass, he adds another big wrinkle into an offense when he's in that can be exploited. He will draw double teams.
Nader, Yabu & Allen should all be in the G league and they were the only 3 with a positive +/- tonight. Go figure. What really sucks is we pretty much held Derozan in check but were schooled by VanVleet.

Well, that seems to be the only logical excuse, but I don't understand why that'd be the case for a quad contusion.
