    Hilarious. CJ Miles was defending LeBron most of the 4th quarter.

    I disagree that they need to blow it up, but they can mix it up by getting a new coach and trading one of lowry or derozan for other pieces that might fit better. All of them have had long enough together and they continue to come up so soft when it matters.

    There was no resistance on that last play. Not only did they not double LeBron on the inbounds, they let him catch it on the run and he waltzed into a relatively easy 8-foot runner.

    That was a joke.

    I don't mind that because when they lose it's all on him.

    Boston without Kyrie or Smart or Hayward is still a tough team. They should be able to get at least 2 against Cleveland simple due to coaching and defense. Ultimately, star power wins in the playoffs unless you're a teammate of Russell Westbrook.

    Chuck tried to jinx the Cavs in favor of the Raptors by saying he guaranteed a win for the Cavs after all his guarantees backfired. It backfired again.

    I wanted to see the reaction of all those Raptors fans standing outside the stadium. "Jurassic Park" or whatever.

    lol no its not. Kevin Love is always the scapegoat(Bosh in Miami) and the narrative is always that LeBron needs more help when he loses.

    Celtics will take Cavs out.

    Celtics youngsters are clutch and they are not chokers like Raptors are.

    They also have a much better coach than Raptors do.

    There was nothing easy about that shot. He made it look easy.

    A running floater from the side of the glass. He damn dear hit the edge of the backboard and 2 feet above the rim to get the proper angle.

    I've never heard Bosh or Love being blasted for their Finals record.

    And aside from 2011, he did need more help when he lost. Especially during the GS run.

    Just cuz Lebron made that shot look easy doesn’t mean it was actually easy. He maybe the only player in the league who could pull that off. The angle on that bank. ability to rise up and stop to kiss it off the window. Greatness!

    Cavs will expose the Celts offense. Just wait and see. If you saw the Bucks series, you already know what I mean.

    Celts have no chance to win against the Cavs.

    I agree. That wasn't an easy shot, but it was a bad shot selection considering he had a full head of steam with no double coming. That misses, and people ask wth he was thinking.

    I agree on no resistance early on inbounds or last second help from Miles, but that tough runner he made look easy.

    OK, the shot had some difficulty but my point on how the Raptors played it stands.

    They turned their backs on LeBron and started running the other way as soon as he got the ball. Seriously!
