Cavs have 17 consecutive playoff wins vs their conference loool well so much for that. if the Raptors were healthy this would be a 6 game series...as i said before. however, they've got a lot of injuries and will end up playing 15 games in 30 days. i guess that 17-13 record against the west actually.. you know.. meant something. i guess the 1-1 record against the spurs and thunder.. and the 2-1 record against the cavs.. meant something. and i guess the game the Raptors played against the Warriors in the middle of their season opening winning streak actually. you know.. meant something. | ||

My money is on 4-1 considering the context. At the end of the day Cleveland will problem solve for the next game and take the next 2. The level of intensity they have to bring for each game is insane. If the Raps do pull it off that would be awesome but I dono, seems difficult still. Would be great it they competed though. Just leaving Jurrasic Park, was intense fun. A healthy JV is pretty needed, he was the only one doing his reputation a favor in the earlier rounds even if he is a bit of a tree on Defense. As it is now the rotation is to lean. | ||

I'll buy into this as a series if the Raps win game 4. ya, good point man. the Cavs want to risk injuries and give themselves some extra home game revenue reductio ad absurdum.

As it is now the rotation is to lean. Carroll messed up his shooting elbow and didn't play the last 8 minutes. if he is injured the Raptors are in even more trouble than they are right now. If Carroll is healthy i'm going to Jurassic/Maple Leaf Square on Monday night. | ||

If Carroll is healthy i'm going to Jurassic/Maple Leaf Square on Monday night. I mean I'll still go. I live downtown and this is a once in a lifetime thing regardless of the result (i.e first ever finals games at home) | ||

Pretty desperate to take a single, meaningless win as proof you're right about an entire conference. The cavs shooting/intensity was due to fall off a cliff at some point, and this game mean very little for them relative to Toronto. This is a team that was moments away from losing to Indy in the first round and put themselves in a 15 game/30 day hole. The score would be the same right now even if they were 100% healthy and rested. | ||

Better, properly rested players create better results. as i said, this is a 6 game series with a healthy team. Claiming Biyombo and JV are the same is false. Claiming any other #3 on the raptors can do what Carroll can do is false. its 9 wins. i'm not the one who said they'd get swept with a completely healthy, rested team. i'm not the one who said they were the worst 56 win team in the history of the league. i'm not the one who said lowry's diminished performance was due to choking. like i said several times they're a 56 win team coming out of weak division and their playoff results are congruent with their regular season performance. in a theoretical "average division" the Raptors are a 52 win team and they're playing exactly like a 52 win team.

Many people here agreed with the 'east blows' comment, which is contextually dependent and highly subjective. I could make a very solid argument that Philly doesn't 'blow' but it all depends on context and perspective. You have one very literal perspective and continually ridicule anyone else as living in a dream land. Feel free to keep peddling out this record between the conferences as irrefutable proof but no-one here was ever arguing that the east sucked during the regular season. However the conference is less top-heavy and continues to offer Lebron very little resistance, which is how I originally interpreted the 'blows' comment. | ||

The Cavs just didn't show up with the required intensity today. They took the Raps too lightly and paid for it. If the Raps take game 4 I'll happily admit I was wrong but this felt like a token win against a superior team. | ||
