Game 19: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors December 5th 7:30PM

LeBron says the gameball goes to... Liggins.

Welp if he says it, it must be so.

 

[The Red Viper]

Yeah that explains the long airball threes

It was a result of some absolutely horrible offense being run. Not even decent ISO ball. Just straight-up lame long threes. Think it was down to fatigue as Bron and Ky had to play heavy mins.

Not the perfect win but this win was needed. Hopefully they build on it and JR is fine.

Allie: "How is your leg?"

LeBron: "Uhh, I'm fine. I'll sit tomorrow's game out."

Allie: "Tomorrow, we don't play tomorrow."

Lebron: "Exactly."

Lebron: "Exactly."

Brilliant dig. "Why can't you play 182 games a season? NBA basketball isn't as hard as being a teacher, professional mercenary, or selling girl scout cookies".

I might see JR tomorrow at the Clinic. I got some work to do on the VIP floor where they usually treat players.

Also, y'all know LeBron gonna drop 50 on the Knicks because of Phil right? lololol

Oh nice I work there too. But I doubt he'll be there on the VIP floor. Probably a quick inpatient exam.

 

[Rich]

Well, hoping Liggins has something. Anything, really. Thought he looked like he was the most likely to be able to contribute in summer league. So, here's hoping.

All that we'll remember come the end of the season is that we own the tie-breaker against the Raptors and are up 3-0 in the season series.

The way it ended at this point in the year will be forgotten. All the Raptors will remember is that they tried and battled but still came out defeated and that's the message we need to continue sending to the Eastern Conference.

The Eastern Conference shall part like the red see come playoffs time. It always does.

The king is more like a tyrant when it comes to the eastern conference. He won't stand for anyone getting uppity and thinking of rebellion. The only franchises he hasn't personally bullied into submission and left traumatized over the years are the ones who suck too much to even enter the playoffs in the first place.

I think Demarre(?) Carroll might get voted in withe the starters this year...




















...on the Ugly Allstar team

Cleveland tends to go on some sizable offensive run against Toronto every game and that was the key factor in the win. 23-11 in the 3rd at one point puts added pressure on Toronto and they tend to play more rigid when they go down by double digits. I was a little hesitant when the Raptors kept it so close but everyone stepped up and you could tell they wanted to end the losing streak.

Nice win without JR, who I hope is ok and nothing serious, time to move on and get ready for the Knicks.

Side note, didn't know what to expect from Wiggins and while his numbers don't show it, the young cat showed promise. Very cool moment with him hitting a big 3.


Side note to the side note (not that anyone reads these), technical issues started for me in this game in the 4th. I can't figure out how pausing, freeze framing is happening on Uverse with LP, its not even the BB version, its LP TV. The last time it happened was the recent Sixers game and it spanned the first half so I waited until the next day. This was just the 4th around the 9 min mark on so I finished the game with the errors, don't worry I could still follow all the plays and see it I just had a glitch from time to time. I then proceeded to rewatch the ENTIRE 4th not once but twice on home and away feeds on my phone with LP BB and now I am going to bed at 6 am. Fuck this shit.
