When they get focus and when Tyron Lue get's his head out of his ass, this team is incredibly hard to beat.

    I could certainly be wrong. This series much tougher than the free money they giving out on the cavs. Gl whatever you choose.

Not to mention they just very different players. I'm good with knowing I saw the best 2 players probably ever, I have no desire to order them.
    I use to see Jordan play in person back in the day. He was just a different player than Lebron. Jordan was possessed. He was intent on winning. Lebron is more calculating, he'll rest/take off plays in order to have something left in the tank later. I tell my kids that Jordan is still the greatest but Lebron is quickly approaching. Jordan didn't have the 3 pointer, nor this mid range fade away but Lebron didn't dunk in traffic like Jordan would on 2 or 3 guys. I'm starting to change my opinion and say that Jordan and Lebron are 1a and 1b. 2 transcendent guys of which we may never ever see again. Both guys did thing that I came away saying... WTF? How the hell did he do that?

    I think it demeans either one of them to put either down. They both are the greatest, no doubt.

    They were flat footed because they were indecisive. Lebron causes you to make decisions and he kills you for it. As soon as you commit, he finds the right play. Then you get frustrated. What you saw was a frustrated Toronto team. We've seen it the last 3 years. Cleveland is a BAD matchup for them and it starts and ends with Lebron.

    Going to move towards 5 likely.

    Still scratching my head how Wizards got 7-7.5 and Cavs 6.5-7 in Toronto.

    Do you watch basketball?? Toronto was the #2 defensive team in the league. Them and Houston were the only 2 teams that had top 5 defenses and offenses. If you didn't know Toronto is a good defensive team, you shouldn't be betting basketball.

    Not that it mattered tonight. Lebron and Love was responsible for 100+ points tonight. Toronto got beat by 2 guys.

    Don’t buried yourself more man- they have no perimeter wing defenders - why did the Cavs struggle vs the pacers scoring and not Toronto ? Enjoy your Cavs win man

    Bury myself??? Haha. That's funny. At least I can pay for a coffin. You're an Alt and you still can't afford to go pro. Do you need a payday loan? You're broke and you have 4 betpoints which tells everyone that you are consistent LOSER.

    Defensive stats in the regular season are completely irrelevant and have no bearing on playoff basketball. This has been proven year after year. The Rockets defense especially is shit, regardless of what their meaningless regular season stats were.

    You don't really think Houston has a good defense tho do you? Maybe craptors do, I reality don't watch or do numbers in NBA enough to really know, I do know Houston nowhere close to a top 5 defensive team tho, damn what the reg season numbers say..

    Toronto has a good defense, they along with San Antonio and utah are the tops.

    The problem is that the nba has moved away from defense as a philosophy in comparison to the 90s and early 2000s

    The other problem is some guy named lebron james. No one in the league save maybe kawhi Leonard or draymond green can guard him and those guys are only slowing him down

    Don't even get me started, if you watch one of these games one day check out curry, harden, lebron and durant. They do this thing in the 3 point stance where if the defenders hands are out in front they slam their arms into it and throw up an air ball to draw a 3 point foul.

    Been going on for awhile, kobe started it but now all these stars are doing it. It's like the defensive pass interference crap in the nfl

    2dabank - you admit that you don't watch the NBA much or follow the numbers. BUT if you did, you would see that Houston's defense is fukking legit. They all smother to the ball, do not allow 3 pointers and it is difficult to get anything in the paint. Can they sustain it in the playoffs.

    Not anymore, used to. I've seen enough of harden to have serious doubts a team he on playing tough defense. Same goes for their coach, I did watch back when that clown was coaching other teams. Nobody really plays good defense anymore, they not allowed to. League is crap now, why I don't watch much outside playoffs.
