Oh, they're wrong. Someone will show us the gap between top teams and the Raptors eventually. The Cavs are the weirdest of the 'top' teams, and the team we had the best chance against imo. A lot of hero ball offence, so they're really reliant on 2 guys who are both high volume shooters with foul baiting tendencies. Defensively they rely on 2.5 bigs who are fantastic but have to cover for some dodgy ass perimeter D.
My take on the Cleveland offensive problems over the last 2 games is that they're not making us pay for aggressive close outs. They're getting the ball to open shooters on the wing who are giving up the ball against the close out rather than shooting over it, or driving on it. Dean Wade is 6'9 ffs and shoots 37%. I've seen him pass up 3's with Shead closing out on him, which is lol. They're passing up these shots to get even better contested 3's by the next guy because or rotations have been tight.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Go raps go!!!!!
The 6ix in 6 baby
Just win game #5 in Cleveland !!
Pure grit, hard work and defense. Today’s game was a pure Throw back to the late 1990s/early 2000s low boxscores and struggling offense/shot making/spacing lol
Toronto won the Brick city battle
Again, I can't believe the Raptors won this one, thankfully the defense kept them in it. Mitchell and Harden being notorious hero ball volume shooters, shoot first chuckers and playoff chokers all at once doesn't hurt either
It was an Ugly win but they showed a lot of grit and heart. I'm glad the younger players got that experience, finding a way to pull out a win when everything was going against them the whole game
I love Barnes, he's really emerged as an elite defender and passer - but I hope he realizes that he can score 25+ every night when he chooses to be aggressive. Another exciting thing is that I think CMB is in that exact same mold.
Oh and Barnes over no show mobley Every Day all Day

Lets win game 5 on enemy court . Raps never won a playoff game in Cleveland ever. Its time to make history my friends next wednesday. There is a first Time for everything.
I dont want to see this series turn into a homer series where the home team wins all their games at home and loses all their games on the road, because in this situation our raps would lose in 7 obviously. These soft, stupid, flawed, unidimensional, overrated Cavs are ripe for the picking, lets go!
Right now, the #1 seed Pistons are already down 2-1 to #8 seed Orlando and #7 Philly might tie up their series 2-2 with #2 Boston tonight. And the #6ATL/ #3NYK series tied at 2-2. This year, All the lower seeds seem to have a decent chance to win their own first round series in the East. It feels like There is more parity than usual. The path might be open for us because if this miracle scenario happens, #5 seeded TOR might have home court advantage all the way until the NBA finals. Crazy ass shyt.
