Live Thread: Cavs @ Raptors
2019-12-16The Cavs wrap up a tough three game road trip tonight in Toronto. The Raps will be missing Fred Van Vleet, Stanley Johnson, and Matt Thomas. The Raps run eight deep, and post probable all-stars in Pascal Siakam. The also feature probably All-Stars in Lowry and Van Vleet. Normal Powell and OG Anunoby have returned from injury plagued seasons to contribute 25 and eight rebounds a night and help the Raps shoot 37% from three as a team. They also steal the ball 8.5 times a game, so the Cavs recent bugaboo, ball security, will be key.
Let’s hope the Cavs protect the ball, and TT plays well on his native soil. Go Cavs!
Powell runs through the Cavs D like a hot knife through butter…
AC with the understatement of the night… “Siakam will be an All Star”
Siakam can do it all…
The second the rest of the starters come in LMFAOO
Funny how quickly a 10 point lead becomes 15 with turnovers and run out dunks…
Like, I’d take that Boucher kid and Ibaka off their hands for TT… but might have to get a few drinks into Masai first…
Hey nice defense Garland!
Let’s go Cavs… 10 point game…
KPJ almost had Nate’s favorite two hand dunk…still got fouled…
Man… KPJ is fast… good first step
Hey Raptors showing love to TT!!! Very cool!
Maybe they could use him…
For Siakam…? well OK….. LMFAOOOOOO!!!
starters played like crap… bench plus Garland is holding down the fort.

Garland is a long way from being good, but he’s showing more lately…nice pass to TT for the finish…
Love KPJ’s attitude – sans technical of course
He’s their Marcus Smart… sans flopping
The TT flob!
Garland zipping some solid passes… three assists already
FANTASTIC PASS TO TT!
Lowry’s first miss…
bad airball by Henson in the paint… but Porter 3!!!
Henson should not shoot twos… let alone threes…
Glad they are recognizing the Raps weakness in covering the weak side corner…
Wow… that pass by LNJ and Porter corner three!
Gotta cover Ibaka… he’ll hit that everytime…
GARLAND TO PORTER!!!
Sorry stream is behind lol
This was pretty…

Nice finish, KPJ! Got up there..
Blocked by NANCE! Porter with the FLUSH!
Henson finding the kick outs to 3s which is nice
Wait… Henson three? Nooooooooo
Lowry tough cover for the slightly built Garland…
Nice find Henson! Garland 3!
Darn… just rimmed out that time…
Garland for 3! He needs to do more of that.
Pretty pass from Henson and rainbow three from Garland…
Wow… Lowry circus shot
Very nice close to the quarter for these Cavs… I dig that second unit with LNJ, Henson, Clarkson, Garland and KPJ…
That lineup has been great last few games
KPH has been showing a lot to be excited about lately
They’ve acquitted themselves well the past two games… also, KPJ and Garland have real chemistry.
Anyone know the Cavs +/- is with EITHER Garland or Sexton but not both?
Not me lol!
WOW, ridiculous shot Clarkson!
OK THIS ONE IS PRETTY MUCH OVER —SORRY THE CAVS COULDN’T PERFORM BETTER ON YOUR RETURN EVIL——HEY POSSIBLE ” ANTE ” SIGHTING ‘ AGAIN THIS GAME ————-IF RAPTORS COULD PUT A TRADE TOGETHER TO AQUIRE T.T.—DOES THIS PUT THEM RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BUCKS ??
Have faith NOMAD! 10-0 Cavs run!
Gonna give up 45 in the 1st. Man….
Love it when I speak too soon!!!
Cavs surprise and finish the quarter well instead!
Some strong D from Henson…
Delly’s teardrop has been dependable lately
Hard to box out wings when you’re 6’1 I guess…
Delly flob…
The Patrick McCaw revenge game? lol
Oh man… is LNJ jacking threes still a thing?
Oh yeah! One of the best 3pt shooters on the team IIRC!
Love two turnovers in a row and a missed 3… not a good stretch.
Been hearing he’s kinda checked out now that the trade talks have started… you guys finding this to be the case? Haven’t been able to do much more than watch the box scores since I left…
Yeah he Seemed flat for a couple of games, I think there’s definitely something happening in the background…
Yup… he’s been done for weeks now. Also, the past two games, there are definitely instances where they refuse to pass to Sexton.
He’s looked that way some games, not every game…at least it appears that way to me…
Woof… sooo many turnovers… and Raps not missing any opportunities…
Raps really good on D, too, to no one’s surprise…wish the Cavs would get lucky with someone like Siakam in the draft…
Raps just constant attack… living up to their name…
TT stronnnng move
I feel like Siakam doesn’t get enough press… he’s really good
borderline MVP candidate?
Siakam using the Giannis attack…
Great pass by Kev and improv from Cedi…
Lowry looks healthy again… of course it’s hard to tell with this matador D the Cavs are employing currently lol…
4 turnovers in a half of a quarter is not good lol!
TT still got those hands of stone…
LOL
Gasol looks pretty good still…
You forget just how long and fast the Raps are… dark horse ECF candidate…
Agreed, ton of chemistry too and championship experience.
Dig the TT Love two man game…
HEY EG!!! Always great to take in a game with ya!
Same! Great to actually be able to watch them!
KEVIN!!
EVIL’ S RETURN IS AN AUTOMATIC + 20 FOR THE CAVS—–SURE WIN TONIGHT !!!
AM I IN HEAVEN —-IT IS THE RETURN OF THE “EVIL ” ONE—–A BIG WELCOME BACK !!!!!!!
Thanks NOMAD! Back for a limited time…. but back nonetheless!
Let’s gooooooo
Let’s go Cavs!
I’ll be shocked if Siakam doesn’t get 30+…
S THIS GOING TO BE A T.T. ” SHOWCASE ” GAME TO INTICE THE RAPTORS
