Round 2 - Game 2: Toronto Raptors @ Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017 7:00 PM [EST]

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Man now I'm reading Raptors boards where they are contemplating trading DeRozan for Jimmy Butler, and in the context that the Bulls would do it. Everyone always overrating the shit out of their own players.
RealGM Raptors fans are hilarious right now. Just 5 hours ago they were talking about stealing a game and winning in 6 due to their improved roster.
 
Kobe is trying to sabotage Boston. Kyrie is his boy and his favorite NBA player to watch.
 
Wow. The Toronto coach makes an adjustment and still the same result. Isn't that the legal definition of insanity? JV was their best player and they still got their ass handed to them. Of course James is James, but I loved the bench mob of Shumpert and Frye for a combined 32 points.

On the other side, what the hell is wrong with DD? He disappears in big games and he didn't even look interested in the game. Also if anyone thinks Lowry is somewhat close to Irving is beyond moronic. Irving has an overall better more all around impact on the court.

Onto Canada...


On a side note, if you don't want to read a OCD-laden rant, please stop here. For some reason the HD feed on my television stopped recording at 8:54 left in the 4th. I watch games on delay and this has happened in the past but with a different dvr unit. Plus when that happened, it affected all recordings. I had a tv show and the postgame on NBAtv that was recording so it wasn't my tv and that is why I thought the recording status bar was wrong, as it said it was still recording HD. I didn't restart the unit then because I wasn't sure anything wrong happened and I didn't want to risk restarting with the game still on. Luckily, I record in SD but SD looks like UTTER CRAP on a HD tv so I got to see the rest of the game there. I wasn't going to watch on the NBA App with LPBB because it wasn't archived yet, wanted to avoid spoilers and the app has playback issues more often than not so SD was the best and the most logical way to finish the game. I am so obsessive TNT is reairing at midnight so I will record and before I go to bed watch the final 8:54 in HD there but it still won't stop me from trying to figure out what happened and being pissed over it. Can anyone understand my pain? This is first world problems. I know a lot of you are in other countries or don't have television so you rely on inadequate online streams and you live with it. I can't live with it, my head won't let me.
 
Just a few weeks ago 99% of the board was totally convinced we'd lose 5+ games before The Finals this year...

We won't lose more than two, again, for the 3rd year in a row. There's a real chance we sweep it.

See? I said "wait until we play near to our best basketball on both ends and watch the perception swing extremly fast.."

People where even afraid we'd lose against TOR.. not a Game or even two.. the Round!!

People have too little faith and trust in this team.. It was obvious that they could play 100% better than they had played since at least March.. And they did.. they swept the Pacers and slowly got better(especially on defense) every Game. And it was clear they could play better than they did against the Pacers..Yeah.. they did.. ask Toronto..

The Scary thing? We can still get better.. we still have to play a Game of truly elite defense(under 100 Defrtg) and as scary as it sounds we still havent seen the Whole Team having a hot night at once.

If Lebron can keep up his Shooting(hell even shoot 38% not 48% from three) and we stay healthy.. we will repeat. Not even GSW will be able to stop us.. Not with Lebron shooting better or at least at the same Level as KD or Klay.. Not with our combination of 3pt Bombing and Physicallity..
If we and Lebron plays like this in the Finals i will say we win in 6.. against anybody.

Oh and btw.. Lebron only played 37 Minutes..

There's really only one way the Raps can hurt the Cavs and thats going inside.
If Valenknockpeopleover barrels into the lane like he did several times, he could physically hurt someone.
 
Reading Toronto fans' posts throughout the Internet prior to the series reminds me of fans of AFC East teams other than NE before a given season saying "this is the year we are gonna knock off Brady" and Brady goes LOLZ nope.
