Live Thread: Cavs at Raptors
2015-03-04The Cavs travel to America’s Cap tonight to battle the uneven Toronto Raptors, who have lost seven of their last 12 games but notched impressive victories against the Clippers and Hawks. Â Kyle Lowry has been struggling and may sit this one to rest some nagging ailments. Â If the Cavs win they will own the season series 3-1 and will move into a “virtual tie” with the Raptors for possession of the 2-Seed in the East. Â So there’s a lot at stake. Â Tonight’s blog sub-theme: Game Shows!

Answer: He once said: If He Dies, He Dies
Who is Timofey Mozgov?
lebron hitting 3s now…get some defense stops here!
HOW ABOUT THAT LBJ STROKE GUYS????????????
LBJ with a HUGE THREE!!
Bron with a much better looking stroke on those throws…
WTF? Why do we keep fouling 3 point shooters?
He couldn’t fool the refs that time…
Maybe we bring back Moz since JVal is in?
james jones is oil slick
WOW! Wish that would have gone… would have been SC top 10
LBJ TO THE HOLE FOR A FOUL!!!
I still can’t believe that no call on lebron’ missed dunk, but that’s the first waaayyy above the rim over top of someone try I’ve seen from him all year. A very good sign
JAMES FREAKING JONES!!!
THE CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP!!!!
WTF? You call that foul? Stupid ref!
Cavs have missed 8 free throws tonight…
this color commentator is an f’n clown with his caricature accent
It’s the real thing — he’s a basketball lifer from Brooklyn.
THE PLAYOFFS ARE HERE FOLKS!!!!! CAN YOU FEEL IT??????
All these lucky shots by Toronto
Defender had arm on LeBron’s waist on that missed dunk.
ross grabbed lebrons waist but i guess thats not a foul hahaha
That was a push on DeRozan.
Back to Free throw practice for the Cavs…
Love is starting to remind me of CJ Miles, makes it rain when we are up but bricks when the game is close
Agreed. We need to feed him down low in these situations.
Huge bucket by JR. lets go D fence.
Well at least this is good practice for the playoffs.
lol K-Love Lebron holding hands
Defense has come back… Nice energy back on the offensive end!
Raptors are playing well. They missed a fair number of wide open shots in the first half. Now those shots are falling. The cavs defense has been sloppy for prolonged stretches. Going to have to focus to win. Offense also need stop relying so predictably on isos and pick and pops
Good time out. Lebron needs to take control soon.
I hate watching blown leads like this…
Agreed. This is now an uphill battle.
Timeout should’ve been called awhile ago…. time to re-group, and play some D.
cavs need to recollect themselves run an offense and start playing tighter defense….they are playing off the ball way too much
Need to get either TT or Moz back in for some rebounding…
Damn it! Time to bring the starters back in.
Yeah, that was a disastrous bench run . . .
Gotta give Blatt credit for giving J. Jones some run.
Oh come on Delly.
Come on Delly! You’re too smart to fall for that!
why has james jones not played more in his career
Yeah, if 3-and-D had been more of a thing 10 years ago, he would had a better career.
Man oh man!!! What were you thinking Delly?
The Champ lands a blow!
JAMES FREAKING JONES!!!!!!!!!
THE CHAMP WILL NOT BE DENIED!!!
Amir Johnson with the three step move…
JR DUNK!!!!!!!!!
Big bailout shot by Kyrie.
Lebron will either shoot us out of the game in the 4th or put up 15-20 pts and we will kill them. Hope he goes to the line 10 times
Game is going to be a close one. Once again, love has disappeared. Wtf.
They are playing him a lot tighter now…
Horrible call… he was not in the act of shooting there…
I agree but they do call that a lot. And Love got away with a similar one earlier.
How did Kyrie blow that layup?
Cavs are getting caught up in Raptors physical play.
Yeah, definitely. I’d say bring in Perk but I’m not sure more chippiness would hurt or help…
Lebron having trouble with pressure free throws. Hope he works out this problem BEFORE the playoffs.
Raps shooting 50% now…
Freethrows are becoming a problem.
It went in but I’m not sure I loved that last play.
Third quarter D hurt the Cavs again… just like the Houston game… Hopefully, they can crack things down in the fourth…
They’ve awaken the beast…. LBJ will disembowel the chicken lizards in the 4th…. BANK ON IT.
This is another game where a few minutes of Perk might help.
Lbj needs to get the karate kids sensei.
lebron has free throw issues…big time
Of course LBJ misses them…
Until he starts making those… guys are going to keep playing him physical…
Yep. That is a fear going into playoffs. Hack a king.
It doesn’t matter if he can’t make his FTs.
There are WWE finishers that look less damaging than that throwdown slam
Flagrant 1. He kept it below the neck. But they can’t let that go as a common foul, especially after the scuffles around the league in recent days.
I’d say a flagrant 1.
Lebron just Got mugged!!!
Lebron just Got mugged!!!
Wow brutal foul
That was pretty dirty. Bring in Kendrick now.
That should be AT LEAST a Flagrant-1 and maybe a Flagrant-2
Wow Lou looked completely stuck there, got bailed out by JV
WTF WAS THAT??!!!!! HE SHOULD BE EJECTED!!!
