Playoff Live Thread: Cavs @ Raptors (Game 6)
2026-05-01The Cavs have caught a break. Toronto will be without Brandon Ingram, tonight, joining Immanuel Quickley on the injured list. Now the Cavs need to use their size and shooting to close out the Raptors in their building. We’ll see how much mental toughness Cleveland plays with tonight, if Max Strus can thrive in a starting role, if Jaylon Tyson can deliver on the road, and if Dennis Schröder can pull another rabbit out of his hat.
For Cleveland, I still want to see some minutes for Nae’Qwan or Bryant to bring some energy and bang bodies, and I want to see some defensive give-a-shit from Spida and the Beard. For Toronto, this is Scottie Barnes’ moment, and the Cavs need to cut the head off the snake. If you double, double hard and aggressively to force turnovers, and if he picks you apart, back off and make him have to score 50 to beat you. As for the rest of the wine and gold game plan? Take care of the damned ball, hit your free throws, and rebound. Go Cavs.
Just awful shotmaking at the end. So many open 3s bounced out.
Make or miss loss, see you in Cleveland (and we hopefully don’t have the 10 am game lol
Rather have this in Games 4 and 6 than 7. Truly unfortunate bounce.
WTF was that flag football slob play?
Cavs ABCs. Always Be Choking.
That is 2 we have choked away
A mobley 3 attempt. Really?
Ceiling.
Fun game.
Hell of a shot by Mobley. Really dumb play by Schröder.
Yuck.
What a ridiculous finish. This series should be over. Disappointing.
Just need two.
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
Why pass to mobley in that situation. Game.
Lol.
OMG that call was pathetic
No threes, no Barnes
