Round 2 - Game 1 | Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors | May 1st, 2018 [8:00 PM EST]

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Raptors look at LeBron in awe like he’s King Rex.
 
This game was such a choking contest lol, each team tried their hardest to lose this game at the end fourtently for us the Raptors won the contest

Not sure how you could say that about the Cavs who played from behind the entire 4th qtr and stepped up their defense(even if it was made easier by Raptor stupidity) significantly. Yes we had a few dumb late game possessions and LeBron/Korver missed some shots late they usually make but there’s nothing about the Cavs play in the 4th and OT that qualified as “taking their turn tryin to choke the game away”
 
Shout out to Korver for making a lot of timely threes. He saved us over and over again. Also Tristan made some big buckets and free throws throughout the game. We trusted Love down the stretch and that might give him the confidence he needs to break out of this slump.

Now imagine LeBron actually playing well. Feeling good right now. Just need to see the consistency from our role players.
 
Now imagine if Hood, Clarkson, and Nance have good games?

Or even Love???

It will be a blowout.
 
Love finished a -7. After playing to a -18 out of position. +11 at PF. Think the coaches will learn? Or nah?

Also, he was 2-6 in the 2nd half and made a couple of plays in the last ~5 minutes. Passed to an open JR who nailed it and a cutting TT who got fouled and made 2 FTs. He was actually decent after he went to PF.
 
Cavs should not relax Thursday.. come out there like it’s game 7 and have a sweep mentality. Having a week off between series would be incredibly valuable. I do not believe that’ll happen but then again, I thought they had no shot tonight.

I have a feeling the raptors thought they’d roll over after the first quarter.. nope. What a gritty win.. that only having that first round experience made possible. Team just might be coming together.
 
Too bad the Tribe lost. That would have been a perfect evening.
