Game 82 | Raptors (50-31) @ Cavs (51-30) | April 12, 2017 | 8:00 PM EST

[MoFlo]

From major injuries to defensive miseries,
this season's been pretty crazy
Players got rest, not playing our best,
in fact we've been pretty lazy
Jabs about three-one, thinly veiled puns,
even some Halloween jokes
There's a new sheriff in town, "don't give a f" LeBron,
Waiting for activation: Playoff Mode
Lue can't coach, Love & Kyrie bring reproach,
and other ridiculous swearings
Roster was balanced, tons of talent,
wasn't enough - needed Korver and Deron
Bogut out 48 seconds-in, Tristan's a Kardashian,
curse? no such thing
Cause we did it once without fear, after 52 years,
we finally have a ring
But hell no we're not through, a dynasty in the Q,
we haven't seen what this team can do
So get outta your seat, and let's repeat, but first it's......


Game #82

Toronto:

Chubby Lowry
Mid-Range Derozan
Dimaray Carol
Sergeballu LaMu Sayonga Loom Walahas Jonas Hugo Ibaka
Jonas Valacajipouasdfalous

Cavaliers:








**Will add stats, etc tomorrow and will update lineups when they're announced**​

Already announce LeBron is sitting. However Toronto is locked in at the 3 seed and if they knew any better they will tank and do everything they can to let the cavs win to see if they can try to avoid them until the East finals.

I feel like this has some meme potential

Well now you are sure a wise writer there nice poem/rap there. I dabble in that myself and I can say you put the real Flo in your user name. At least you made the regular season interesting after the game against Miami again with this game thread.

Final game of the preseason. Gird thine loins, fam. Shit's about to be lit come this weekend.

 

[Stark]

Too bad we don't have McRae. Guaranteed 40 point explosion from him in a game like this.

Alas, we have our lord and savior Edy Tavares. Here's to 27 rebounds and 14 blocks, Edy.

Normal for a young-ish guy who's not ready/not going to get a lot of time with the team. We've done the same with Felder.

Much like the last two seasons, this year has had lots of ups and downs but dammit if there weren't some incredible moments. Thanks to MoFlo for the video reminders. Along with some insane finishes and record breaking performances, we saw LeBron's best season since his return, and arguably of his career. His efficiency was incredible and he threw up triple doubles better than ever. He's not ready to slow down yet and that is great news for his eventual impact on the all-time lists.

Hopefully the playoffs is filled with payoff so we can make up for a lackluster finish in the regular season. I really do think this is the most talented team ever assembled in Cavs history, let's see if the boys can put it together. BACK TO BACK LET'S DO IT!

Lebron's streak of not playing in the final regular season game is now at 10 years.

(He last played in it in 2007)

I think it is the longest such streak among "starters" in the league.

I cant believe they are letting thompson play. Jesus let him sit and continue to recover

 

[godfather]

Boston is not a team we should fear having the number 1 seed. Sitting them doesn't mean much to me. I'm find with the move.

 

[godfather]

Cavs won't even play Boston, Washington will beat the Celtics.

This means nothing for the Cavs, there was no way to avoid playing both Washington and Toronto. Those are the teams that are going to give us resistance, not Boston. Boston won't be in the ECF IMO.
