I don't buy this crap. So much cash is flowing toward Cavaliers win, no one believes Raptors can win this game without Kyle Lowry. But it's a business, by the end of the day Cavaliers may earn some extra cash for home game tickets. Raptors should win this game. They have made 11% of open shots from behind the arc in the last game, while Cavs made 57% of theirs (most of them were well contested). And they were just 2 points behind until 4q. Meh. I feel sorry for people who lose big cash today if Raptors win.
Extra home game never stopped Lebron from sweeping the 1st round every year. Whatever money they get from an extra playoff game is not worth the risk of another playoff game wearing on a key player's body or having a freak injury occur. What I am interested in seeing is whether a wipeout at the hands of the Cavs makes it more likely for their free agents (Lowry, Patterson, Ibaka) to leave. This team may not be a real contender, but these guys can be pieces on contending teams.
BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRING. Going to be interesting off season for Raptors. Who will give IBaka $25 millions a year that he wants????
We're not seriously gonna see Cleveland and Golden State both go undefeated en route to the Finals, are we? Hell, they're even lucking out with identical injuries to their opponents. Lowry(the Raptors starting PG) is out and Hill(the Jazz starting PG) is out.
I'm not so sure the Cavs don't handle the Warriors. I'd take a healthy and ready to go James/Irving/Love over Durant/Curry/Thompson. I'd also take Smith/Frye/Korver/Thompson/Williams over Green/Iguodala/Garbage.
There are two contenders: dubs and cavs, and really just the dubs. I think if they had the right seeding they could have got to ECF. I hate this mentality of championship or bust. Should the rockets just tank since realistically they have no chance against the dubs? I would rather watch some good basketball.
LOL @ Ibaka. What a mess. He just did a butt fumble. Tripped over a basketball. ROFL. And he wants $25 millions a year
Cavs are cheaters. So unfair. how do you have a team with Lebron, Love, Irving and then you bring Korver off the bench and then Frye????? Not fair to the NBA
No way, they don't have clutch players like Lebron and Kyrie. No one is beating the Cavs this year with the way Lebron is playing and they added Korver and Deron. Cavs are sweeping everyone. Irving is too damn good in the playoff and now you add Lebron playing his best season ever in the playoff. This is an insane and unbelieveable team. They don't have chokers like Curry and Klay. Klay went 1 for 9 last night and Curry was 6 for 20. Think Irving and James will ever have nights like that? NO WAY
