Man if we had a center that had any offensive ability in the post ..

Shumpert is just a waste at this point. He and TT on the floor creates a lot of ISO

Derozan is getting away with some chit

I love Kyle Korver!

Korver sure don't need much room does he

Fouls getting ridiculous

Man Toronto is scared of the moment

Lbj no regard for ibaka

He is quick with the shot.

LBJ making them pay at the FT line tonight

lbj has gone video game here the 4th

We just have that other gear.

Lebron...man this guy is great.

All those petty fouls just ticked him off, paid em back at the hoop.

Crazy focus especially late in this game.... Th cavs were playing ok and then all of a sudden just amped up the defense in the fourth... Solid.... Let's sweep and move on to conference finals...

After so many similar comments over the past couple of years......have you ever considered shutting up so you don't look so foolish?

Cavs are focused. Playing much better defense in the playoffs. And that is the key. Most of us know they have the offensive talent.

The defense was worrisome during the regular season. However, they have stepped up the defense as the playoffs have progressed.

We double a lot on the other team's best player. We use TT to trap guys and run them off 3's. That can be exploited by teams w/a good inside game and multiple scorers, but then again, we can adjust our defense as we move forward.

This about says it all. I've only felt like this watching one other player and that's Jordan.

There's high school players, there's college players, there's pro players, and there's LeBron.

Never seen him so serious and focused. Good sign for repeat chances.

Man, I never liked Korver when he was with the opposing teams, but that guy has quickly become a fan favorite. Loved what LeBron said about him when asked after the game. He didn't talk about his shooting. Or what a great teammate he was. He said he's a "true professional".

Have you considered there probably isn't a person on this planet whose opinion I value less than yours. You are a petty child and the best time on the board is when you are banned. That being said, my comments at the time were dead on. They weren't playing well and we're turning the ball over and allowed Toronto to come back and take the lead. That has nothing to do with the outcome of the game, merely discussion points during the game, but I don't expect you to talk intelligently about just about anything. Need to make sure I log in first from now on so your diarrhea of the mouth gets blocked the way I like it.

LOL...............yeah, I'm not intelligent.

Dude, you are full of crap on so many things!

LeBron's left handed shot showed how great he has become. We are blessed to have this guy.

Now I shall give way to Lead's bitching.

Funny you should say that. One of our best lineups seems to be: Lebron, Deron, Korver, Shump and TT/Frye. It was that lineup that made our huge comeback against Indiana, and it was that lineup that put the game out of reach tonight.

As long as they keep the ball out of his hands and he focuses on Defense, Shump is okay.

it'd be nice to sweep again ...

Okay Korver, I take back all the bad things I said. He hit some extremely clutch and some extremely badly needed three balls/shots there at the end. Whew.

LBJ is also a beast. Kyrie struggled it seemed.

Agreed. I was not happy w/getting Korver and I bad-mouthed his game. I was wrong about both. The guy is playing well and is a real asset to the team.

I like when we keep Deron, Korver, Frye in with Lebron and Tristan ... for some reason, that lineup always is in the plus

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking this:

Eh, I think hubie was just trying to balance out the love fest the cavs have been getting fairly recently.

I could tell hubie knew this series was over before it started, and his commentary was one of trying to determine the best strategy to have a shot at beating us.

IMO, it was no where near close to the trash we heard coming from joe buck.

Bruh Report‏


LeBron in the playoffs since Klay told him it's a mans league

35 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 8.0 APG, 2.6 SPG, 2.0 BPG, 50% FG, 46% 3FG

10 Wins 0 Losses

I agree... I didn't like some of his commentary but didn't find him biased... Joe Buck was awful during the World Series...

Buck turned me into an angry man during the series ! lol

Just saw that Mike Brown has been taking over the head-coaching duties for Golden State as Steve Kerr has been dealing with more back issues. Could we really be seeing a Lebron v Mike Brown Showdown for the finals?

Kerr will probably be back by then, but that would be amusing (and good for us)

You may be right if Korver was brought in to start. But off the bench, he's an unbelievably great weapon. I have the feeling if he'd have starter's minutes, you would see the numbers trend negatively, because of his defense, and the fact that he's limited to being a catch and shoot guy.

This is why I tried to tell people to not freak out when the Cavs were scuffling all year. It doesn't matter. The fate of the 2016-2017 Cavs will not be decided during the regular season.

The regular season is for teams like the Raptors and Celtics. Who think that beating the Cavs during the year means ANYTHING.

I'm not saying the fact that the Cavs scuffled means they are going to win, I just meant that it doesn't matter until we get to now.

The regular season is for entertainment purposes only.

Lowry ruled out for today.

I really thought this team would put up a better fight, but I think it's more about how well the Cavs are playing versus anything the Raptors are doing. The Cavs are a complete unit right now.

finish them

Two minutes until sweeeeeeeep!

Get the broom and dust pan!
