Prince's hot streak is over. Now he's just Osman's doppelganger.

I mean the Cavs are tiny and some of the guys just don't have it on the defensive end (Love and Garland come to mind).

But the Raptors couldn't miss anything.



Still way more worried about the ball movement and energy on offense. Just gone.

Man , they are shooting 75%.. I mean it's hard to hit 75% with no one else in the gym.. Not sure what those guys were drinking pregame..

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Like..the Raptors shouldn't be THIS bad.

I certainly don't think, on paper, the Cavs have more talent minus Nance and Allen.

Siakim, Lowry, OG, Gary Trent Jr., VanVleet. The should be more like a .500 team right now.

87 points in a half? Good LORD.

Sexton constantly leaves his man wide open for a weak double team/hedge effort and he never learns from it

Garland was wide open and Sexton decided on a midrange shot. Happened twice.

Might as well have life preserver as a logo for the Cavs. They do love them floaters particularly Garland then Sexton). Great when they go in but basically no chance to get a foul and as you notes if the defense is drawn in the past out to the open 3 might be a better option as well

They were playing a zone. I don't know why, but that's what they were doing.

Both take the floater. Sexton has not taken a 3 yet while Garland has taken 3. So not sure where you got that from.

well, either way the guy gets lost on simple hand offs

 

[Rodzilla]

if they can get the lead back to 22-25 then delly can do the rest

I’m ready to bench Wade now.

More in terms of overall they both love floaters not just this game

Floaters don’t bother me. Every guard in the league has a floater. It opens the game up.

so I still don’t get your point.

 

[Rich]

I do want to point out that while the Cavs defense was not good the Raptors weren't scoring in the paint.

It was all jumpshots. That was just an insanely hot performance. Happens.

Nice block by Okoro. Pinned his shit!
