Everything Round 2: Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers

[The Great One]

Patterson?? u can't be serious. ZERO faith in the guy. I have more trust in JV's 3pt shot than Patterson.

Ibaka - Patterson - Tucker - Derozan - Lowry

You don't play Patt for offense, you dummy. You play him for the D he brings.

Nah he's too small. Love would just post him up all game.

Maybe Powell on TT?

This is the series where you actually need an uber energy guy like Biz to beat TT at his own game. He destroyed him last year.

You also need to score against this team you dummy. And it's not like Patterson is Ben Wallace defensively. Stop overrating the guy.

Offensively, Patterson is a huge liability.

Lowry and DeMar will get harassed all game if he can't hit the open shots he gets

Funny enough, I think 2pat will start next game.

Yeah, but the Raps offense is supposed to Ride or Die with Kyle and DeMar. They love those contested shots so they can get to the FT line to make our offense efficient. That's how Casey's system works.

Why is everybody blaming the role players now? DeMar is getting $150M+ and Kyle will get $200M. We need 30 point games out of both of our all-stars. The entire system has been built to make them look good and carry us.

Kyle and Demar need to step up. Period.

Did you not watch the game? Cavs were double teaming them everytime they touch the ball. What do you want them to do? shoot over two guys? other guys needs to step up and make open shots. Period.

1) Weird time to throw Lowry's name in there. He was the best player by far for the Raps

2) Cavs can afford to play an aggressive trapping style if they know the rest of the team won't step up when they get the ball

Kyle was OK, but he's got to be KLOE if we want a puncher's chance. And DeMar was an embarrassment tonight. This is what they've all been preparing for a year now. And he laid an egg.

That said, Carroll has to come out of the starting lineup immediately. And probably JV, too.

Were blaming them because they are missing open shots. NBA players should be able to make open shots. Isn't the whole part of an offence to get an open shot? Were producing open shots but, the NBA players aren't making them.

Well JClaw it was a nice run. Now your watch is over.

Who wants next? Joey?

[Apollo]

And we are fucking blaming JV for not knowing what to do the ball when he gets the rock less then 6 times a game at the 20th second of the shot clock.

Only a Derozan fanatic would say this ridiculous asinine post

Ride or die. DD gotta empty that clip, man. That's Raptors basketball. Ride and die.

I honestly expected this meltdown to happen tonight. DD and Kyle are good at collecting stats and not at winning big games. All that said, I much rather this than where they were ten years ago... Lucky to make the playoffs and then getting totally destroyed when they got there.

I thought he was fantastic but I guess he could've been better.

DeMar definitely needs to step up. Just terrible defensively and I'm scared to look at his +/-. I felt like every run we went on was with him on the bench.

Carroll and JV out of the starting lineup, yep.
