This could be ugly, the raps look very over matched. Can the west even beat cleveland.

Cavs look scary and not only for Raps but but against anyone ... I think James is sick of hearing about Curry and wants to make his mark in the playoffs .. 16 - 0 ?

Usually i get pissed, frustrated and start to yell when watching the raps perform like they did last night. But for some reasons i didnt, maybe i kinda expected them to get slaughtered this series. Eventhough they will lose im still very proud of what they accomplished this year and look at this as a positive in gaining more experiance heading into next year. Its pretty hard to compete with the top 3 payrolls in the league specially the cavs who are well over 100mil. Good run boys you gave toronto a very exciting and entertaining may!

Yeah ....it can get pretty loud here when they get creamed, but last night, watched the first quarter and part of the second, had a shower and called it a night! looked at the stats this morning, it could have been worse, Irving had the most minutes for Cleveland 30:07. All the Cavs in + all the Raps in -. JV would have made a difference but don't think he would have been the difference maker, Cavs just kicked ass. Lets hope the rest of the games are closer and maybe Raps can win at least one.

I'm just gonna enjoy watching this series no matter what. (well, okay if they lose every game by 20 I'll be pissed lol) but seriously this is all gravy. So glad for the franchise and the hardcore fans that show up to Jurassic Park every game.
On another good note, the draft lottery is tonight. Raps expected to pick 9th, but could finish with the 2nd pick. Dream scenario is Raps finishing 2nd and taking a game changer in Brandon Ingram. This has truly been an amazing season.

Rumour is that the Clips may be tearing it down in the off season. We could get another high pick next year.
Cavs look scary and not only for Raps but but against anyone ... I think James is sick of hearing about Curry and wants to make his mark in the playoffs .. 16 - 0 ?
Damn OTHER!!!! Another 24 hour roller coaster. I guess Cavs rustiness lasted 6 minutes! Half full says that OKC got blown out by Spurs in Game 1 there and see where they are now......maybe the Raps can".....................:encouragement:

LeBron could make the 76ers a contender.

I think the r aptors worried too much about threes.

LeBron was dominating the paint.

Good news is this is the best r aptors line up ever. Deep and well rounded.

Other good News is having the 9th pick.

I think the team is more hurt than we know which is why our two all stars have been inconsistent.

Raptor are undefeated in the playoffs after a loss.

At this point i am hopping for one win.

I like the Raptors... and congratulate them for getting to the Eastern final, but the only way they're going to win a game is if LBJ breaks a leg sometime before game 4.

We don't have a superstar, and that's what we need to win a championship.

Carroll had a un-carroll-like game guarding LB, yesterday. He was done after 4 fouls and 2pts. Hopefully,Carroll will put on a better running shoes for game 2. At least Vegas know what they were doing when they had Clev winning by more than 10 pts in game 1!

I am so glad that I missed last night's game. Lack of defense, Lack of the energy!!! I think this all series is matter of how much Raptors want to win themselves. It's going to be a tougher one as we all known it but I truly believe that Raptors do have the availability to win these series only if they wanted as bad as their last breath---that's what I remembered from LB's change room talk. Raptors have to want more than Cavaliers---the only way works.

Let's go, Raptors! Fire the imaginations with the tougher defense!!! Everything is possible. As a fan, I am so proud of what Raptors has accomplished through the season so far. Here is the chance that they could achieve the best of themselves perhaps in their entire life. Never say ever that's the reason I love to watch Raptors playing---the very best defense team I have ever seen! Let's do it again, Raptors!

Let's all stay with Raptors all the way:applause:! It could be the hardest battle Raptors would ever face in their entire career. It would need us all work together to make our history into a better place. Let's go, Raptors!!!

I will be watching every game.

At the very least i get to watch a very special player in his prime.

Is there a free agent that would come to Toronto?

LeBron and Durant are free agents but i cant see them coming. Both are on championship caliber teams.

ass kicked again! A healthy JV would have kept it closer but IMO Cavs are the better team. I hope the Raps don't get swept but it does look like that is a possibility.
Lets see what Masai does in the off season, as the Raps are real close to being a serious contender. Lets see who they bring back, who they trade away, and what they get in return. Will they keep their draft picks or are they trade bait? Lot of ufa's out there, can they find help in that market? Cap will grow so there are dollars available.

KL has to show up! If kL could just be who he is regularly, Raptors might have a chance. Come on, KL, you can do better than that?

Let's go, Raptors!

I don't want Kevin Love to do better than that! At this point it doesn't matter what the Raptors do. Like The Blues Brothers, LeBron is on a mission from God and he will not be denied. Even with JV, I'll be very surprised if the Raptors win a game. Just to save face, but I doubt it.

Back-to-back 7 game series has taken it's toll on Lowry and the rest of the team, the Raptors did not have any time to prepare for the Cavs. Ideally, they should have had two or three days to play the best team right now. Also, a healthy JV would have helped protect the rim, let's hope we can get JV back for the games in the 6.

To win 4 out of 5 to take the series will be difficult for the Raps. But,it is not impossible. The hardest part for Raps fans to accept is that we may not see the raps go back to the final 4 for a long long time after this season!
