NBA Playoffs! Round 2, Game 1: Toronto Raptors 112 - Cleveland Cavaliers 113 (CLE 1-0)

Luck is never on our side in clutch time.. that's why when we win it needs to be decisively. Once the 10pt lead vanished in the 4th you could tell there was going to be trouble

Agreed. Good teams avoid close games.

This. Stings.

Fuck

As much as we lament clutch time, the game was equally lost in the 2nd quarter when we took our foot off the gas.

YOu mean when Lowry and demar started doubling lebron for no fucking reason???

Fuck

what's your no-homer prediction now.

[white men can't jump]

VanVleet was cold too though. Should've went with Delon or have CJ standing there for the pass instead

I think he had CJ in on both plays. He obviously had a couple of tips on the end of regulation possession. He was definitely out there for the final OT possession as well.

But neither time did we need a 3. We were tied and down 1, respectively. If Fred had been in the game late and in a rhythm, I probably wouldn't mind.

Maybe just stick with OG, who's been shooting well in the playoffs and makes good cuts. Maybe Wright or Siakam. Siakam played a lot in the 2nd half and might have had a better rhythm. Could have tried to run a sneaky play for a guy like Siakam or OG to get a cut and easy bucket for the lead.

I don't know. Again, it's frustrating because it's a natural choice to have your best shooters and ballhandlers out there. Fred fits that bill. He obviously wasn't going to be running the play though, and him being cold makes it iffy to use him as a shooter.

Raps advance. No point in thinking any other way. The universe rewards mental determination

Yeah that was bad. A 38 point quarter given up... ridiculous. As good as our defense is overall, we frequently have games where we just collapse for 1 whole quarter.

The Cavs will sweep the Raptors.

If the Cavs win Game 2.........

Bottomline - i want major changes in the offseason. Tear it up Philly style and just trust the process.

The fucking core of this team is rotten.

[KeonClark]

The raptors lost by the most likely outcome- they were the better team and beat themselves mentally. That's what hurts the most

[The Great One]

Now? you didn't know what to do expect before this series started? fuck the Cavs eliminated you the last 2 years. FOH.

What do you mean no point? Your prediction one way or the other isn't going to have an effect on the outcome of the series.

Why is the next game so early? Us Pacific Timers aren't happy

JV: "We've gotta stay together, we've gotta learn from this loss and bounce back. The series is here. It's not over yet. It's one game. We're in good shape."
