LOL at Toronto. LeBron being their Daddy tonight as usual! Kevin Love being their Step Daddy with 27 so far! Love playing like Larry Bird tonight , yes Love has 27 that isn't a TYPO. Cavs up 11 late in the 3rd. 

In the years we had CJ Miles..did we ever ask him to guard Kevin Love...?

98-87 after 3 quarters./....Cant say its a surprise anymore. I guess.

Toronto has 12 minutes to save their season...

It's now 105-87. Toronto should be embarrassed, worse #1 Seed of all-time! After losing Game 1 they had 2 chances, Slim and None, Slim is leaving the Canada Center tonight.

Yeah it was. The Pacers may have been the 2nd best in the East after all. We are better than Boston with Kryie and Hayward out. Lets see what Philly does tonight?

[oldunclemark]

Everybody says ...'why don't you double team LeBron!!!" Don't let him beat you./

 

Its not that easy

[oldunclemark]

..the odd things is: Of the 4 players the Cavs traded for at the trade deadline..

..the only one who is playing a major role now is George Hill.....

Yeah Love with 27 is the killer. People don't realize Love was a SuperStar in Minnesota and took a lesser role with the Cavs and contributed nicely in 2016 helping them win it all. He has been playing with a messed up hand. On any given night, he can give them 20 and 10.

He plays Great Defense and is a smart Veteran. The other guys like Clarkson are young.

[Chrisaaron1023]

The Cavs are going to have the exact same run as last year... This Time the warriors won't even spare them one game... On to next year..

[2006Coltsbestever]

Damn I don't feel that bad at all now losing to these guys. They are embarrassing Toronto. We took them 7 and the most they beat us by was 4 points.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Does the GOAT have 50 yet?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Hey VanBleep made a 3

[oldunclemark]

  Toronto led this game by nine.....now its like watching zombies out there in Raptors uniforms.

 

We can play the last 2 games....but they don't think they can beat Cleveland ..and they don't mind showing it

Raptors treat LeBron like he's Prince Charles..and he just crowns them

Toronto looks like old moving dinosaurs with no teeth!

[2006Coltsbestever]

We may get Cavs/Warriors again, I cant see anyway LeBron can beat that team. Maybe Love can play like Bird and JR like Jordan.

[oldunclemark]

The ESPN announcer said 'For Toronto, well. you just don't know what's next!!!!

'Sure looks like an uphill climb for them!!"

 

wow....come on man..Game 3 in on TNT, you can tell the truth..

Easy work for the Lordship! What is scary is Kevin Love is getting healthy!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Philly needs to show me something tonight and win that series, otherwise the Cavs will run away with the Conference. Boston is Good even without Kyrie but they wont beat the Cavs with the Roster they are playing with.

we had Love shut down......folks blamed him.......maybe we should credit Thad Young.

But we have a quick team overall....small but quick......Toronto is bigger but theyre slower.

 

...and their confidence is so fragile

I have noticed that. Our Defense is better than the Raptors. We are much quicker and get a lot of deflections. Toronto looks slow compared to us.

I do not think the 76ers are a really good team if you cover their shooteers and let Embid go 1-on-1...

..and with Simmons on the floor....Phily can only have 3 shooters

 

Cavs put LBJ out there with 4 shooters..and defensivley.....you can play them like we did and lose close ones..

..or you can play them like Toronto did and be a disgrace to your nation...

[oldunclemark]

TV keeps playing up the Boston-Phily rivalry..

..but I don't see Robert Parish and Doctor J out there

A disgrace Toronto is. Philly can hang with the Cavs IMO, they had a terrible shooting night the other night going 5-26 from 3. They don't do that often. They usually shoot lights out and Embiid would be a tough matchup for them like our Centers were.

Maybe Danny Ainge will throw a jersey on! He is in the stands.

Philly on fire early. 8-0 already.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brad Stevens said Brown wasn't going to play. That sly devil . Brown with the stuff!

[oldunclemark]

I'm listening to Tyron Lue.after the Cleveland win........and he was asked why Kevin Love was so effective after having so much trouble in the first series... He said.....

 

...."The Pacers game plan was to take Love out fo the game. WE noticed that when we drove into the lane, Thad Young didn't help on anybody, he stayed with Kevin the whole time..

Toronto isnt doing that.so if we can isolate Kevin on a '5', we can get him some shots.

 

 

That's what we were talking about....

Toronto cant play our style against the Cavs because they cant close out on shooters like we can. We are a quicker team. Its just a bad matchup for them.

[aaron11]

lebron owns then so badly they should give him stock in the company 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Philly up 20-12. McHale may have to take his headphones and get in the game to take on Embiid!

..and they claim they built this team and changed their style to face the Cavs

 

 

31-22 at the quarter...76ers look determined......pace is fast

[2006Coltsbestever]

Great Qtr for Philly, up 31-22. Redick has the torch going! When Philly is making their 3's they are nearly impossible to beat because they also have Embiid doing damage down low.

Yeah they say that but I don't see it. It looks like same ol Raptors to me. Cavs don't even have Kyrie anymore and it is still too easy.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Philly has lost only 2 home games since January (how impressive is that), we beat them and the Heat beat them in Round 1 in Game 2. If Boston loses tonight, I see Philly being up 3-1 eventually. So far 40-24 Philly leads.

The statue of Red Aurebach out side Boston Garden...looks like George Burns

Phily had the softest second half schedule in the league........

.....and they beat Miami....in the first round....Lets make this game an example....Phily is up 20...

...lets see what happens./

 

Toronto's problem is no confidence.....the 76ers problem is overconfidence..
