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

Shaking up 40% of the starting lineup? Damn; that's a desperation move if I've ever seen one...

the time to make the move is now. The raptors have now lost 8 of the last 11 to the cavs, include several of them total blow outs. The raptors know they are outgunned, might as well try something new

Casey didn't reveal his lineup when he was interviewed at 5:30, so I assume that means changes.

 

[Andrew]

For a coach that thought the word, "dominate" was harsh. Why else is he making drastic changes to his rotation now? Realistically I think he is doing this just to make it seem he is trying to beat Cleveland but him and his staff know they have no chance no matter who they rotate in or out.

Norman movers well of the ball and Jacob is young and has quick feet so I hope we don't disrespect them and loose them on the defensive side

So uhh.. Powell's going to guard LeBron?

 

[wuck]

Raptors reporter. That would put Ibaka at 5, Patterson at 4, DeRozan/Powell/Lowry. Not sure who guards Love or LeBron.

Hoo-boy. I'm nervous about THIS one, Fellas (and Lady, @Cayman13). The belly is already rumblin'!

Hope the two new starters shoot the way they did in Game 1...

This reminds me of when Kerr went small on us in the 2015 Finals. We laughed at him, especially when the Cavs went on a run to start the game. But then the Warriors won 3 in a row, and we weren't laughin' no mo'. I am quite concerned. QUITE concerned.

Nobody watching basketball tonight?

Win this one and no worries the rest of the series. Going up 2-0 is always huge

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I don't think anyone in here is excited. I'm going back under the bed.

Cavs are doing a great job on Derozan so far.

Keep up the defense. Blow them out early..

Love might have a good game against that small ball tonight. BBQ chicken.

Ibaka missing everything right now.
