Eastern Conference Finals GAME 1: Toronto cRaptors @ Cleveland Cavaliers May 17th 2016 8:30pm

Why would the Raptors be any more rested for games 2 and 3?

They won’t be, but game 2 is the first chance they have to “adjust” for whatever we did in game 1. And game 3 they’ll be playing at home, which is a boost in itself.

I think they will be more competitive games than game 1.

Look, none of us will be able to respect Canada or anything Canadian until they finally leave the United Kingdom like every other post-colonial country. The U.S. abandoned control by the monarchy in 1776. Even India removed the shackles in 1947. Canada? Too busy eating shitty unappetizing bacon.

Sweep.

Can't wait for this game. Delusional Toronto fans have replaced delusional Chicago fans as the ones thinking their team has a shot against the Cavs.

You wanted Cleveland, Toronto fans. You got us. All of us.

The Raptors aren't even going to be able to hear themselves think tomorrow night.

Get those brooms ready.

I live 2 hours away from Toronto and their fans are very delusional and insufferable. They think Lowry will be able to own the Kyrie matchup and that Patterson can score and rebound with Love. And that Carroll will be able to lock up LeBron.

Dumb fucks. They couldn't contain Dragic and Wade, they have no idea what the fuck is about to hit them. Playoff Kyrie is another animal. So is playoff Love. And we haven't even seen LeBron have to take over a game. These dudes are well rested and playing team oriented, cohesive basketball and shooting the lights out. Toronto is coming in with their best two players struggling with consistency and tired legs. Their third best player is hurt.

Gentleman, this is going to be a blood bath. Cavs in 4.

I would say that JV has been far and away their most valuable player in the postseason. The only reason they managed to win the series against Miami was because Whiteside was out.

Hell, you can make the argument they wouldn't have gotten past the Pacers without the way Jonas played in that series. Felt like he had a double double by halftime in every single game.

If we can keep the ball movement going we will win in 5 max. What im loving about this team is not like we chuking 3's after threes we are doing it we the flow of the offense in which at time we just drive at will cause thats what the defense give us in which is awesome. Lets mop the floor with these pretenders cause im ready to make the warriors our bitch!!!!!!!!!!

They definitely missed his 18/12 for the rest of the Miami series, and were lucky to make it past them.

I'm not worried in the slightest about this team, and frankly, I can't understand the logic of anyone who is.

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

People talking about the jv injuries who gives a shit. We had 2 all stars missing last year and we were 2 games out of the ship, and we didnt bitch. So lets tear this mofos out and lets get this ship!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I'm a little apprehensive.

 

[Cavatt]

I'm a little apprehensive.

You've never been this optimistic!

 

[tocov]

This is done after 4.
Without JV we will toy with these fuckers before devouring them.

Toronto, kudos on reaching the ECF, your luck stops here tho.

 

[TitleTown]

I'm a little apprehensive.

If you were ever optimistic Kil, I'd be seriously worried.

 

[NorthCoastBias]

Slow start seems like a given, but I think we'll be alright tonight.
