        This is the game thread I needed this morning. Enough talking about game 1. Let’s blow them out for four in a row. Take us home

          I'm not really going out on a limb by saying this, but this game decides the series.

          Raps win, we take it in 7.

          Raps lose, it's over in 5.

            I know this is reactionary, but it's possible this might be core's last ever home game. If we lose this series, I can see one or all of them being traded. I hope we give them a huge ovation in case we lose this game.

              Damn that was amazing Goldblum. When we win it will be worth the epileptic seizures some of those gifs triggered

                I doubt it. Masai won't move Mr Toronto and he probably can't move Kyle or Serge given the tight cap environment. The only core guy to move is JV and he's been on the block for ages.

                It's more likely that Casey is chopped to show the ticketholders we are doing *something*.

                  Having said that, we've basically assumed the core would be blown up every summer for the last 3 years. Wouldn't surprise me if Masai keeps these guys together for 2 more years, with more "tweaks" and "resets" built in, perhaps lessening the load on the starters even more.

                    Agreed. Raptors will win this game, considering they let Game 1 slip away, but if by chance they end up losing, Cavs will most likely win the series.

                      In truth, one season really isn't enough time to re-program Kyle & Demar to stop reverting to the old habits that were drilled into them from the previous 4 seasons. But, if I had to bet on one of KL/DD/Casey moving, it's almost certainly Lowry.

                      But let's stop talking about that negative sh*t in here! This is a game thread for the next game. I'm done sulking.

                      Keys to the game: Focus. Focus. Focus. Every Possession Matters.

                      Raps W.

                          On the bright side Lebron played 47 minutes last night which will hopefully wear him out more and a quick turnaround tomorrow.
                          Obviously some adjustments to make and reign in the turnovers we can win for sure. But got to be mentally tough in the clutch or the adjustments don’t matter.

                            NBA Playoffs! Round 2, Game 2: Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Steamers, Thursday May 3, 2018 at 18:00 EST on SN1/ESPN

                            Raps have been in this situation before, but the stakes are way higher now. It was never supposed to be easy though.

                            We’re taking game 2!

                            EDIT: Per the post above, LeBron played 47 mins last game. He won’t be able to handle the combined forces of Pascal and OG for another game without cracking

                              That's how it would be sold. In reality the two situations are somewhat dissimilar given that we already underwent our culture change this year.
