Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 : Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors, May 23rd, 8:30pm

[CLEistheCITY]

I don't recall saying how long I prefer the series to go.. so I have no idea what you're talking about.

And yes, if we lose tonight, it's probably gonna be because we've been figured out or choked. Neither is appealing.

Must be another poster with a similar name saying the cavs need to be tested in a 6-7 game series.

Regardless, you are being dramatic. The cavs should win today, but if they don't the series is tied 2-2 and far from over. Sometimes inferior teams can stretch out a series.

I used to box with my nephew who is about 6 years younger than me. I would always play around with him but never give it my 100%. One day he got a great uppercut on me and knocked me down. I almost got knocked out.

I was furious. I got up an wailed on him for the next two rounds. Even as a young adult he started to cry a little.

We've all been in a situation where you toy with someone and they get in that one shot and it pisses you off. Hopefully that's how the Cavs feel and come out furious.

Cavs better come out like they're ticked off..ands belt the Dino-flakes in the gut..and I'm sick of Bismark North Dakota already..he's trying to be a enforcer...TT needs to show why he got that big contract..

I'm kind of feeling like this is almost a must win game tonight. Don't want to see Toronto feel like they have a chance taking the series.

Don't agree with this.

Personally I think the series go 5, but just hypothetically let's say Toronto evens it up tonight.

It is then a 3 game series with us having HCA. Can't see the Raptors winning in Cleveland.

But then again can't see the Raptors winning another game, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask

Also completely disagree with Rich upthread that Toronto didn't play a good game. It was easily one of their best this entire playoffs.

If he plays, good luck with the LBJ and Irving pick and rolls!

The big thing if Valanciunas plays is it improves Toronto’s offense from dreadful to decent. We still are far superior offensively but we have to make sure we defend better.

even if he is clearly hampered? he might do a disservice to his own team.

If he’s as hampered as you say I don’t think they play him. They’re not going to play him if they think it gives them less of a chance to win.

or they are desperate and grabbing at false hope.

He has gone from out to doubtful to probably playing in 24 hours. I think even if he does play it's nothing more than looking for an emotional edge.

and that is quickly smashed when LBJ flies through the paint for a dunk so powerful it impregnates every fertile woman in the arena.

That dunk would revolutionise Canadian basketball in 19 years time

This should've been the last game of the series.

We slipped, but we will bounce back HARD.

Cavs by double figures.

GO CAVS!
