Irving's 3 hurt more than Linsanity's 3 against us.

    what makes u think we would have won in OT? I believe we are 1-4 in OT games this year.. and they clearly had the momentum as they outscored us 33-23 in the final quarter
    Yes they had the momentum, but as Scott said, they played a very hard game the night before so they were tired.

    Dude AA is a good defender but he made a stupid decision. He should've realized that irving was going to pull up for the 3 and closed him out and let him drive into traffic. They would've been fucked in OT had he scored the 2 points and we would've won, this one was on Casey and AA i'm sorry.
    Stupid decision? Kyrie Irving is a metre away from the 3-point line, and quite frankly had damaged Toronto all night with his penetration going to the hoop. If you played Irving straight up - as good as the defender Anderson is - he would've been able to get himself to the hoop. Once the penetration starts, help side and defense starts to rotate, which means passing lanes, driving lanes, etc start to open up. It was clearly a lucky shot. Anderson played him like a good/SMART defender would. Don't reach, stayed down, and as Irving was at near release, Anderson put a hand up, adding pressure to an already very difficult, long ranged shot.

    Had you made Irving drive, there's a possibility they tie for OT, get an easier/wide open jumper from the 3, a pass to a cutter in the lane, or worse, an And-1 (just as worse as being left with 00.00.07 seconds left). With that said, Cleveland would go into OT with momentum. Derozan barely getting a touch in the 2nd half, Fields was a non-factor all night. Big men would've been worn out with the extra play. Just a lose-lose situation that time. That shot was win or loss for the Raptors. Irving made it, we lost.

    You never wanna go into OT as a road team off a back to back. Hell if we fouled and let them tie, we could've iced the game on another game winner. But whatever, we'll get em back
    fouling when ur up by 2 with 12 seconds left is never something any NBA coach would ever do unless they had a foul to give.. ur the second person ive heard say that on here and its just not a good idea.. it was a very unlikely shot he made.. props to him and move on.. I agree AA could have picked him up earlier but putting him on the line in that situation is just ludacris

    that seems like an irrational and contradictory statement

    I doubt it. We just played like shit in the fourth and Kyle Lowry played like complete garbage. I think we would've won in OT

    Cuz they played a huge game the night before. They'd be gassed and we'd have the upper hand

    better yet, we should have fouled and went for another DeRozan game winner infront of the home crowd.

    Why are you guys so pissed off at Anderson. He was playing good defense. Had Anderson played to tight at a metre away from the 3 point line, Irving would've drove it down his throat. Anderson respected the Irving drive, and had Irving missed that 3, it would've looked like the stupidest shot. Casey planned for the OT, Scott played for the win. No one got out-coached that last possession, Anderson didn't play bad defense.

    Anderson is one of our best on-ball defenders too...

    Well, honestly, it was the offense. You can only play defense for so long when the offense doesn't start falling. Calderon continuously ran the pick-&-roll which Cleveland started to play for, and Calderon never adjusted. Plus, bad turnovers in the 4th quarter, and bad shot selection. We lived and died by the 3 last night.
