Raptors @ Cavs

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Good God...89-87? No reason to be this dependent on Lebron. No wonder Brown is scared to sit him.
 
AV saves our butt with that rebound.

And the score! 93-89 Cavs.
 
Heh. Snow and Mike James trading buckets. They're old.
 
Lebron with clutch jam. 97-93
 
Bron another clutch basket. Up by 8
 
Stupid foul by AV, sends Mike James to the line.
 
Wow, AV with the basket from Lebron, and made the FT for the 3pt play. Nice. About 1 minute left.
 
man Varejo needs to settle down...

Bosh has missed 6 consecutive throws in the 4th.
 
Foulfest from here on out, we got it though. I'm out of here.
 
Team appeared to implode when Lebron left for a short stint in the 4th, but, for the life of me can't understand why Mike Brown would go with the lineup he did in that brief period. If Lebron leaves the floor you can't have a lineup of Snow, Jones, Gooden, Varejao, and Marshall ...weak defensively, and no place for shot creation. You gotta have Z and Flip out there for some offensive force ....if Mike Brown truly wants to find ways to get Lebron some rest, then he has to do a better job of finding a lineup that has a chance to succeed while he's on the bench ....he's not done a good job in that respect, in my opinion...
 
Agree Wine and Gold. It should be common knowledge that you need your other top offensive weapons on the floor when LeBron is on the bench. It's a little troubling that Mike Brown doesn't seem to recognize this.

I'd like to see the Cavs play offensively like they did tonight more often. It was more of a team offense than an individual offense. It wasn't perfect but there was better ball movement and use of players on the floor.

Snow with one of his better games of the season. Flip also stepped up nicely on offense.

Cavs looked to have the game in control but once again couldn't put a team away and Toronto got back in it. Cavs have to go for the kill when they have a team down.
 
This was a huge game I think. The fact that Lebron didn't have to score 30 and they still pulled out a decent win was huge. The 3 pointer appears to be back as Marshall and Jones both hit some key ones. Those 2 getting their confidence back would be a big help going into the stretch run. I still dont know about Murray taking anything except wide open ones. Then theres Eric Snow, who had a little 6 years ago flashback game in probably his best game as a Cav. Hes actually a decent slasher/finisher, just I guess he doesn't get to do it much as he needs the right matchup.

AV did some good stuff down the stretch, I think he was in there because the game was very much up and down at the end, Z just isn't an up and down kind of guy. Problem is AV made all sorts of stupid plays, but consistently made up for em.

Thank Bosh for having a total meltdown in the 4th quarter after tearing it up the first 3 quarters. Mike James and Matt Bonner lit us up too, but it was basically free throws and a rebounding edge that won this one.
