Kyrie is going to be an interesting defensive problem for the Cavs.

My bet would be they use Smith on DeMar, LeBron on Lowry and stick Kyrie on Carroll. Dare us to run our offense through Carroll.

I'd take that dare. Clear a side of the court and have Carroll post him up. Not to say DC is good in the post, but Kyrie is a bad enough defender that he'll likely foul him anyway.

But can you see us actually doing that?

We don't really go at mismatches, we go at Kyle and DeMar's matches. Most of the game.

Lol, doesn't matter if it's Delladaodadllaodaodaodova or LeBron guarding DeRozan, he's going to launch 25 shots.

Carroll took Dragic into the paint a couple times, but the Raps also ignored that mismatch a lot after switches.

They asked demar at shootaround if he's seen the "we the other" stuff yet:

Yeah *chuckle* I see it all.


(Yikes. Can't imagine what he sees fans say about him lol)

Does it really matter?

Raptors are not beating the Cavs WITH or without JV.

Or Miami right?

DeMarre Carroll (@Raptors) has been one of the best at defending LeBron James over the last 2 seasons: pic.twitter.com/7yR2DB2DUE

In a weird way, I'm not worried about LeBron.

He'll get his - or he won't. I'm not sure I buy that Carroll is going to slow him down. He's one of the 10-15 best players ever, if he's on he'll score.

I'm scared shitless of us leaving shooters open in the corners and getting blown out that way.

I'm just being realistic man. We're not beating the Cavs.

According to you, we were out in the first round.

I doubt they'd start Lebron on Lowry, that'd be far too taxing on Lebron for a whole game. Could definitely see it in the 4th quarter though.

Ya ... the open 3's is going to be a problem I think .. has been all season and for sure they're scouting that. But hopefully we don't pack the paint as much in order to do so .. I think we need to pack the paint as much against them, especially if they start shooting.
