Why hasn't Lebron run out of gas yet? I can imagine even MJ would have shown some signs of wear after 5 straight finals? I guess that Miami "treatment" keeps him going.
Yeah. They weren't interested in this game and it was clear from the start. They're looking to go back to Toronto and try to force a Game 7 where they'll probably be more focused. Stupid, but that's what other teams do when they don't know how to win.
These are the kinds of actions that separate the great teams from the also-rans and one-offs. These are the playoffs where you can't take chances.
What's sad is I think a lot of these kids think this way. It's unheard of now to give a "message" to teams that run up the score on you. You're just supposed to sit there and take it and put your head down and that's that. When the playoffs start and you're losing a game, just pack it in for the night and get ready for the next one... Don't even have to focus on anything, just show up and see if you've got it and if not, it's fine... Soft. When the Cavs face the Thunder next round they won't have played a team this hungry. The Thunder are starving while the Cavs are playing a game.
What a horrible game that was to watch last night. I gave up when they went down 30 in the first half. Atrocious ball for a conference final playoff game. No competition for the Cavs at all. The East sucks.
Ugh! Just get this one done and over with. Stephen A. pretty much nailed in the postgame. The Raptors forgot to play basketball. That was very ugly on their end. One unforced turnover after another. The lone bright spot was Valanciunas.
Why would DeMar choose to stay? Same story next year, maybe worse if they lose one or more key players around him. If Lakers want to push for him. Maybe sights are elsewhere following the draft.
Raptors were just happy to get to the ECF... as is Cleveland to go back to the Finals according to reports
If someone told me after 2010 that I would have to endure Lebron in the finals for the next 6 years and the Lakers would be horrible, I probably would have stopped watching basketball on the spot. This is truly my basketball nightmare, the only thing that would be worse is if he actually did manage to win every year.
Weak conference, no competition, super teams and all. It takes luck... and of course talent to get to the Finals 6 times in a row. Im afraid he's not done yet...
Now I have to watch this Cavs team dismantle the OKC Thunder. I just don't think OKC matches up well with Cleveland. Russ and K.D. have been a good two man band against the rest of the West but I don't like the matchup, I hope they prove me wrong because I can't bare to watch the Cavs win the title, ugh.
I see the winner of the West winning it all this season. It's not just my desire to see LeBron fail either like when he was in Miami. I really don't think the Cavs have what it takes to win a title this season.
