That guy looks like a drug lord! I really like the way that guy plays

Not a fan of the espn crew either. Breen is a good pbp guy, but I still don't understand why he laughs through some of his highlight play calls.

SVG constantly wants to change every rule, and Mark Jackson offers absolutely nothing. I really hope he gets a job again so they can mix it up.

Reggie Miller on TNT is also terrible but Marv is classic.

They should really bring back Joe Tait if the Cavs make the finals.

Anything stand out to you guys schematically? Just keep blitzing Lowry. Derozan sucks, Carroll can't dribble and their front court doesn't do anything offensively.

As far as the game goes, I only got to watch a few minutes at home, and I had to leave for my game. I propped my phone up on the bench in the locker room and watched the end of the first half as I got dressed.

Man, enjoy this run. Don't worry about anything else. Don't worry about future games, or what happens in the western conference, just enjoy this. Fans go generations without seeing something this special and this fun.

If the Cavs end up winning the whole thing, you'll end up looking back and regretting not enjoying the hunt as much as you enjoyed the treasure. Crazy where this thing was 2 years ago.

Tait has said that he doesn't even watch the Cavaliers anymore. It was his job, a job he loved, but that job is over now.

However, I say, "Go Cavs!" What a great game! The Raptors had to be feeling really great about themselves, having dispatched the head, and having taken 2 out of 3 from the Cavaliers in the regular season ..... and they just got punked.

That lineup with Lebron, Frye, and Jefferson that started the 2nd quarter just beat the heck out of the Raptors. The Raptors looked just helpless.

OK, game 1 down, time to win games 2, 3, and 4 .... and move into the Finals.

I feel like the East is just waiting for Lebron to retire.

Toronto may win game 3 or 4, but this series is over. Did you see Toronto's body language LOL

Pretty much, and since kyrie and love are still young, it's gonna be quite a bit till that happens.

It's not over until the Fat Lady sings and she's not even warming up yet! We'll show up for Game 2; we may not win it, but then you got to come to our madhouse...lol

Lol I sympathize with your hesitation as a fellow Cleveland fan, but Toronto had no hope going into the series. The matchup is a nightmare, they're underhanded, they've played so many games ... plus the Cavs are THAT much better.

And then the beatdown last night occurred ... yeah, it's over

Thinking like that means we've got you exactly where we want you...

Toronto was so afraid of getting burned by the 3-pointer, that they paved a highway for the Cavs down the middle. I'm not sure what they can do to defend it either. If they bring help defense, then we're going to play hot potato around the arc until we get a wide-open 3. If they don't, then we'll run the layup line that we did last night.

For a 7 footer he has a lightning quick release. I think he should be our starting center. The offense really flows when he's in because you have to account for him and he creates so much space for Lebron/Kyrie

As fun as last night was, if they get Valaciunas back for game 3 like they are saying, it becomes a totally different series. You have to play mosgov. TT offers no resistance at the 5 and JV is a talented dude, they will just run through him. Toronto will try to slow the game down to a playoff halfcourt pace. The reason we killed them last night is they settled for jumpers, and long jumpers which led to long rebounds and fast break opportunities. The option I hope we do is go small with frye at the 5 and just run them to death, forcing them to play our style. They have one good defender and that's carroll, and he got abused by lebron, so you double him up, who's going the guard the rest of our guys..and that in a nutshell is why toronto doesn't have a chance

Since they're without any presence inside, I'd assume they'll have to pick their poison from the perimeter ... they'll start to help off of certain guys and just hope they miss

Game 1 MVP

I had no idea the outcome would've been that. I'm "pleasantly shocked", that's for sure!

could someone explain to me who this is? I've seen you guys mention her

Dunno, probably somebody's wife or just a fan.

But the cameramen went on her like 5 times lol

check your PM's guys

Holy crap.

Lebrons Nike deal might be worth 1 Billion.

Pm? She a porn star or something lol?

They have to take that away and force longer 2 or 3-pointers, then control the defensive board. I expect they are fully aware of that...

Wow, he's got a lot of stamina.

I have no idea who she is. I just saw her as a beautiful face in the crowd.

I am so glad that the Cavs abused Toronto from the inside out. I wish I was a fly on the wall in the Raptors coaches meeting today... how in the heck do you game plan to stop what just happened to you, knowing that if you do, you expose yourself to having 3s rained on you all night...

If I'm the coach, I have to pack it in some and just hope they don't keep shooting 3s at the pace they have been.. it's your only hope.

agreed ... but really there's no hope

Let's see what game 2, then game 3 brings, and then revisit that statement...

Terrence Ross- "We beat them [in the regular season], so we don't feel like we have anything to fear"

Oh boy....

TR - put your money where your mouth is, son...

I think he's just shell shocked.

Resistance is futile.

So who is it?

Really?

It was kind of funny watching Lebron back him down. It was like watching a lion about to devour a gazelle.

...who after devouring the whole gazelle, promptly choked to death.

Nah, it was like the picture I linked during halftime yesterday. A Raptor trying to jump on the back of a T-Rex in Jurassic Park. He just sort of crushes it, flings it off his back, and then roars.

Yeah, why would it be a person only described through a PM?

Not that I care who she is, just wondering why it would be a secret (unless she's not famous and you're trying to protect her identity, which is fine).
