    Lowry somehow lowering his already awful 34.9% shooting in the playoffs

    "heart"

    How the hell did Toronto win all those games in the regular season?

    Reminds me of last year's Hawks where they had a great regular season only to get punted by Lebron & Co.

    Pacers don't choke that one game vs the raptors and you would have a pacers-heat matchup. Would have preferred any of the other teams for sure over Toronto

    Said it in the semi conference thread and in this thread, but Ill say it again... Cavs are looking SCARY, BEST TEAM in the league SCARY.

    Maybe its the addition of Frye or health or simply another year of being together, but the Cavs are operating with such precision, skill and athleticism as well as shooting incredibly well.

    Lowry's leadership willing Toronto to this 30 point deficit!

    They didn't actually look that great vs Detroit, but yeah maybe.

    I've just been very impressed by the ball movement, synergy and shooting with which they've been displaying. Their is a ton more passing and so much less iso's and ball holding.

    And for the idiots, blaming the Raptors losing to evidence of Lowry's lack of heart or leadership... :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't put it on Lowry. They're starting PPat and Bismack Biyombo ffs. This is a super trashy team that's done well to get to this stage.

    So when they lose to Golden State or OKC.., zero excuses for Lebron, right?

    Lowry is still better than anything we have except for Harden's O.

    dont want to hear anymore about how Harden just needs more help. If Kyrie was a Rocket would Harden be ok with him outscoring him like he has LeBron so far?
