Game #40: Cleveland Cavaliers 99 - Toronto Raptors 133

[The Great One]

Merv would be a hero now... dont wanna say no more...

Kevin Harlan was doing the play by play tonight.

Cleveland always looks good when they hit 3s....terrible otherwise. Tonight though our wing defenders were discouraging them even TAKING threes. That is what I find so encouraging compared to the last couple of years. OG and Delon and Siakam are a huge improvement on what we've had before and now that Demar is giving a damn on D....we are much, much better. Plus our inside game is much better than Cleveland. So even with Cleveland "not bored" the Raptors can play with them. I'm not going to read too much into this but anyone who thinks they have NO CHANCE in a playoff series is wrong. Even if Cleveland adds another rent a star I don't think it would help them much . They are looking geriatric. If Lebron has to carry them every night he WILL get a bit worn down. He's mostly human

Why can't sportsnet just pay for the TNT feed when we get the us national slot? It's a better package

We'd like to thank the Cleveland Cavaliers for coming out, tonight - Complementary assorted timbits at the door.

Toronto Raptors slaughtered the Cavs tonight. What a night for Valancuinas! 18 rebounds, 15 points in 19 minutes.

Unless, Toronto goes back to aggressive traps, small ball and ISO offense in the playoff, the Cavs might be underdogs. Cavs have to be incredibly hot since they are going to give up tons of easy points and get murdered on the glass
